Young Justice

[rocklobster]

I still follow it. I like how they keep you guessing about whether people are with "the Light" or not.

"Dude, she's your sister!" XD;;

Also, I really liked Amanda Waller. She reminded me of Olivier Armstrong. :3

According to Wikipedia, next episode's main players are Artemis and Robin.

Yessssss. 8]

[rocklobster]

If I'm not mistaken, Waller is the leader of the Suicide Squad, a shady team of villains working for the government. At least, that's what she does in the normal DC universe. I don't know if that's still the case.
Yeah, I know a lot of stuff about the DC universe. I'm a nerd.

I haven't seen much of this show...When does it come on now? Is it as good as the Teen Titans show was?

Fridays at 6:30 PM Eastern.
"Is it as good as Teen Titans was?' That depends on who answers the question.
If you like Teen Titans you will probably like this. This show is more mature then Teen Titans was.

So, this week we've pretty much cleared the name of the obvious mole. And, uh, my sister explained to me in very clear language that the mole was in fact
[spoiler]Red Tornado[/spoiler]
which I somehow missed, but once I realized it thought it was brilliantly done. My sister is a very patient person.

Also, because my sister is clever, she noticed
[spoiler]Cheshire is Artemis's older sister. [/spoiler]
I don't know what was wrong with me this week. XD;

@Popyman: I think I'm enjoying this show more than I do Teen Titans, but they're pretty different in tone. So far Young Justice doesn't do silly episodes, and doesn't have any obvious anime influences. However, this season's [serious] overarching plot thus far has been pretty cool, and I'm really looking forward to whatever's coming.

[rocklobster]

I'm glad to see that Artemis is starting to see the group as a family. Superhero teams tend to work best as a family unit: the X-men, the Fantastic Four, and the Titans all were families in a sense.

I don't know, I don't see it. I think [spoiler] he got hacked at the end there.[/spoiler]

That I saw.

My crazy theory on the mole:
[spoiler]Everyone has decided that Artemis is the mole, I don't see anyone else who could be but I hope that's not all that's going on. I hope that she's not just acting as a spy for the bad guys, but also as a double agent for ... Idk Batman. That way we can have her end on the side of good and avoid all the redemption tropes, the heartfelt pleas and such, I've seen them all too many times and I'd like to see something original.[/spoiler]

I'm kinda bummed the didn't do a nod to talk like a pirate day, just a little reference.

[rocklobster]

I didn't really like last week's episode. Captain Marvel didn't even do much, except give Aqualad some advice. I mean, he's supposed to be this really awesome superhero, especially since he's one of the few who can actually do real damage to Superman (Captain Marvel's powers are magic-based and Superman is vulnerable to magic, fyi)

[MomentOfInertia]

What about this week's eh, Rock?

Neat head games or cheap cop-out?

I liked it, interesting premise, and you know that they're going to squirm out of it from the beginning.

[rocklobster]

I thought it was the best episode so far this season. I was really shocked when [spoiler]It was bascially the Young Justice version of a Kobayashi Maru (Star trek talk for "no-win scenario"). But what shocked me even more was when J'onn said Meg'ann was the strongest telepath. Even stronger than HIM! [/spoiler]

[MomentOfInertia]

New episodes again, Saturday 10:30AM.

Discuss.

[rocklobster]

I thought it was so heartwarming when
[spoiler]Kid Flash kept the bag the donated heart was in as a souvenir[/spoiler]

[Zeldafan2]

Yeah, that was rather sweet. He could have kept the other thing, but decided to keep that. That was a sweet episode. But not much development time for the characters besides Flash in these episodes.

Take Aqualad for example, I am waiting for him to show some character flaws, or something to distinguish him.

[FllMtl Novelist]

CN thank you for *finally* airing more of these.

Aqualad already had an entire episode focused on him--#8, "Downtime". I think they've spread the character development pretty evenly thus far, actually.

This week's ("Coldhearted") was good, but last week's was better. More kids facing crises with maturity, please.

Also, those DC shorts are the coolest things ever. There was one by Aardman! *fangirls*

[Zeldafan2]

Well, I can see what you mean. I am rather excited to see how this all ties together when we get to the end of this season.

*sniffle* me too.

I'm not a huge fan of it, but one of my friends has been dragging me to the gym to watch it with her on the TVs and I'm kinda liking it. Artemis is cool.

Also, Zelda fan, you did Spoiler wrong.

[Solid Ronin]

Ah, I didn't know this thread existed. I like the show ok enough but mostly just because it shows Batman being a great dad. The Super father and son however are easily the worst parts of the show, and this is said by a dude who loves Superman.

You're right. I keep forgetting how to do it.

Ronin, I understand your opinion, but I would personally say it is a pretty good show.

[rocklobster]

For those who didn't understand why Miss Martian's true identity was a big deal
[spoiler]Let's just say the White Martians and Green Martians, like J'onn, aren't exactly the best of friends.[/spoiler]

[FllMtl Novelist]

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Oh Connor, you are so trusting!

Anyway. I think I liked what the writers were doing in this episode, and it wasn't bad to watch, but part of me yearns for more awesomeness on level with "Failsafe" (or the more-attainable "Denial"). This episode really could've been done a bit better.
[spoiler]Also, I'm really not sure what to think of M'gann right now. Okay, I can see keeping that secret from the team--for now--but she's getting all kissy with someone she has to pretend and lie around. Yeah, crushes and crap screw with your thinking, but... I'd hope you'd plan to tell him some time, at least?

And I'm a bit confused about what J'onn knows. I assume he knows she's white, so did he tell her to keep it secret from the Justice League, or is she just assuming the hatred against white martians exists on Earth, too? If the latter, I'd think J'onn would've set her straight by now.[/spoiler]

I think it was mentioned in passing in another episode, too, but without a reason given. Why are they like that?

[Souba]

[color="RoyalBlue"]I've been loving the show since day one. My fav or course are Robin, Wally, and Superboy. It's a great show with sidekicks acting as undercover co op teams, pretty cool and LOVE that they showed a school girl Babs in one episode hope they bring her back. ^^

[SPOILER]In most continuities Green martians are meditative and peaceful, while White martians are warlike and violent. If they follow that continuity, it's because greens are afraid of the destructive tendency of the white martians, even though the whole color thing is a choice and in most versions greens and whites are actually the same race, essentially with different philosophies (though with all their powers being mental, that may have some additional effects). I'm not sure if this is the case in Young Justice, since it's essentially a brand new continuity, and they've been revamping origins all over the place (looks at Garfield Logan and Artemis).[/SPOILER]

I'm slowly catching up on this show and I'm loving it so far. I'd go as far as calling it the great long awaited Teen Titans sequel, despite it being entirely unrelated. It has the same (and in some cases better) depth of plot, humor and drama, and I'm really enjoying all of the portrayals in the show.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

[rocklobster]

[spoiler]Last week's episode was great. I especially liked all the scenes where they showed the League considering new members. Especially when Wonder Woman confronted Batman on recruiting Robin at such a young age.
Wonder Woman: "So he'd turn out like you?"
Batman: "So he wouldn't."[/spoiler]

[MomentOfInertia]

I agree Rock.

Next time though, could you put that first sentence outside the spoiler box.

[Zeldafan2]

The episode itself was good. But it did not explain...
[spoiler] What the favor was that Queen Bee had asked of Miss Martian. No explanation on Garfield's whereabouts either. I found this dissapointing. But the plot was overall pretty good, and the discussion of another team memeber was good as well.
Captain Marvel: You know, there is another Green Lanter on Earth..
Hal and John: No.
Captain Marvel: But Guy Gardner could really...
Hal and John: No. [/spoiler]

[rocklobster]

Zeldafan, Guy Gardner is the biggest jerk to ever wield a Green Lantern Ring. That's why both Hal and John said no. Everyone in the Corp hates him. I mean, this is the guy who once punched Batman in the face in the comic book version of the League. You do not punch Batman in the face!

[Zeldafan2]

I understand now why they wouldn't want him, I just thought that interchange was humorous, as well as a few others in the episode.
