Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
I was quite pissed about the time skip. It's lazy storytelling - skipping over dozens of potentially interesting plot lines. I miss Kid Flash and Aqualad. And I had to spend 10 minutes explaining things to my 8 year old cousin, who had a really hard time understanding what had happened and who all the new characters are and what had happened to Robin. (Though I'm glad that Miss Martian started taking lithium - though I think she's overdoing it a bit - her speech is so "flat" most of the time it sounds like she's completely zoned out).
But then I watched an episode of Green Lantern. The animation is so poor it's almost painful to watch, and the plot is a joke. So now I realized how high quality Young Justice really is. I just wish that they didn't abuse it so.Last edited by Person_Man; 2012-05-08 at 08:45 AM.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
@Person_Man: Thank you for confirming that those not versed in the DCU are having trouble following this.
I took that for a trick of the lighting at the time but unless we see it carried through I'm going to presume BB is only green like he normal.
If not then I'd actually call that further evidence for him having general shapeshifting not the specifc 'turns into animals' ability.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
I actually have warmed to the timeskip. It allows us to jump right into the delicious meaty center of the plot - aliens up to and including Darkseid - without it being 'forced too early' on a not-yet-ready team that some plot ex machina would be needed to force them, and not the League, into fighting. Instead, we have them seasoned, expanded, and ready...they think.
(And, as noted, it's really more of a 'spinoff' than a 'season two'.)
As for GL:TAS, all I can say is YMMV; the animation on it warmed up to me after a couple of episodes.Last edited by The Bushranger; 2012-05-08 at 03:29 PM.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Well, that was entertaining.
Miss Martian has certainly come a long way... Very professional! I like it.
Also, yay for already starting to fill in some of the blanks.
SpoilerThough I'm a little worried by Beast Boy adopting Kid Flash's souvenir thing... Has the latter snuffed it and he's doing it in his honour...?

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
After the whole Wally-saving-queen episode, I don't think they'd kill him off in a timeskip. I hope. I think the souvenir thing is just something that the team collectively started doing, since by the time BB joined (Heh, BB and MM is siblings now) there was probably a Wally whining about needing more 'closet space'. Couple dozen souvenirs at least.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Just because we haven't seen them yet doesn't mean they're dead. It's a timeskip, they're going to hold a few characters back for suspense.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Well, the reason for why Wally is missing might be that he became the Flash?
That is something that happend in the main DC storyline (unless it were changet the last reset), the same way that Robin became Nightwing.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Given this show, I wouldn't necessarily rule it out, out of hand. (See Beast Boy's mother...)
Do I think it likely? No, not really. But "likely" and "possible" are two seperate things...
(I mean, don't me me wrong, I like Wally, he's awesome.)

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
New episode:
SpoilerWell, we know where Aqualad went now.
Yeah, this is a good example of the big problem with the time skip. I don't buy this. I can see Aqualad getting emotional over either of the incidents he mentioned, but going straight-up villain and working for Black Manta? No, doesn't make sense to me. This is something they really needed to show in-show if they wanted to do it, not just skip over and explain afterward.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Scattered thoughts on the episode:
SpoilerThe title, "Alienated," gives me the impression that Aqualad is not undercover, but actually rogue. Which means redemption arc will soon be underway, no doubt. I'm cool with it, even with the timeskip part of it, so long as the arc is well written. He didn't have much of an arc last season so if this is what works, I say go for it.
Loved seeing Superman and Conner battling together. Very cathartic after last season.
I assume that the bomb is from Apokalypse, and that this is the Light's "new ally."
The trial is a convenient means of having the JL out of the show for a number of episodes, leaving the earth to the protection of the YJ team.
Superman surviving a NUKE - that's pretty badass.
Overall I liked the ep, though those tiny aliens don't seem like much of a serious threat. Its hard to take them seriously.
Trivia: Godfrey is voiced by Tim Curry, who was originally going to be the Joker on Batman: The Animated Series before it was decided that Mark Hamill was a better fit."And yet, will we ever come to an end of discussion and talk if we think we must always reply to replies?

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
So another episode begins....
Spoiler
The episode centers around Aqualad. It was a nice episode all around, solid action and things moving smoothly. Especially loved that last bit were Superman tried to save those aliens.
I wonder how much time it will take for the team to do something about Megan (afterall, Superboy noticed).
The light is against those aliens.....so it seems my guess was right and they are only a distraction while they work on their real plan.
Things arent looking good for our heroes. With the best heroes in the league away (no offense to the others), things arent looking bright. To me it seems if the light wants to make their next move, now is the right time.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
SpoilerSo, apparently the Reach are the Kroloteans' 'competitors'? And allied with the Light? Interesting...

SpoilerM'gann is overusing and abusing her abilities. Note what she does to the Krolotean Manhunter is interrogating, and also Connor's expression when she does it.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
SpoilerShe left the Krolotean either dead, or brain-dead, and it's the second time she's done that...on-screen. Given Superboy's comments to Alanna in the last episode, it's obvious she's been abusing her abilities for awhile.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
SpoilerYeah, I'm very glad. Blue is one of my favorite heroes, and the Reach don't get much coverage. Only animated thing about them I've ever seen was the Brave and the Bold episode with him.
And yeah, Mgann's either needs to learn how to interrogate without eliminating the person's capacity to do anything or just stop it altogether.
Aqualad feels forced, I think. One, 'Aquagirl'? Good god, at least call her by her damn NAME when the guy seemingly mad with grief is grieving about her. The Aqualad and Blank Manta thing is weird, though epic. Official Light member, probably some Reach Beetle upgrades for the Mantas soon, and Aqualad kicked ass. Was cool. But why the hell he cares so hard about serving his father he never knew and turns his back on his morals, I cant really comprehend well.Last edited by Mutant Sheep; 2012-05-12 at 11:57 PM.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
SpoilerI'd presume Nightwing calls her Aquagirl because he's a Bat, and Bats are experts at seperating Life from The Mission.
Aqualad, on the other hand, isn't; faced with a seeming double-betrayal (finding out his beloved King kept his true parentage from him and that his One True Love died - and, given that it happened 'on a mission', it was likely...messy - that was enough to make him prime for manipulation by Black Manta.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Criminal psychology, and did you just call anyone related to batman sane?Given that the rest of the bat family thinks it’s perfectly rational to deal with personal tragedy by dressing up in a ridiculous costume and satisfy your feelings of pain and loss with gracious violence, I wouldn’t want to go to any of them for grief counseling.
