season 1 of YJ is so good as a stand-alone series. It was self contained and every character had their own arcs. After S1… yeah I pretend those seasons don’t exist lol

Season 1 was good but then seasons 2 and 3 relied on comic book knowledge (which I didn't have any at the time) so sometimes the show was confusing for me. I would get confused about all these new characters that aren't named but are constantly introduced to the show. season 4 had a much more contained storyline but it was a drag and so sad all the time. But overall I'm glad, I watched the show when I had no idea about comic storylines. I only started to read about DC comics when I heard about Tim coming out. I have just finished the original Young Justice comic and all my thoughts about the show have changed. I really liked the team dynamics, friendships, characterizations, and overall the crazy storylines in the comics. the show messed up all of that, they had all of that material to pull from but they still made this show this bad. However, at the end of the day, this is an adaptation and animation, so I don't really care. I watched the show for entertainment and I'd still watch it for the same reason. However, even still, I am kinda salty about Kon's characterization, he was such a fun and interesting character and the show made him a one-dimensional angry being.

I actually really like Wally and Artemis's relationship, it was very good character moment. We see Wally schmooze every female character he encounters, even the age-inappropriate ones, and it never goes anywhere, the girls all think he's just being thirsty. The only female character he doesn't hit on is Artemis. Why is she such an exception? Because the way he sees it, she's intruding on the team slot that should rightfully be Speedy's, his friend he grew up with. Because he thought he had a reason to dislike her, he didn't flirt with her. And because he wasn't so fixated on hitting on her, it allowed their relationship to grow naturally, eventually he warmed up to her after working together for a while. But then it kind of relapsed when Artemis kind of sabotaged a mission because the target was her older sister (which none of them except Robin knew), and he was responsible and professional enough to be like "what the hell, Artemis?" But when she eventually confessed the truth and recontextualized that mission, he realized he actually did love her, and she appreciated how he was starting to stand up for her when Roy seemed to be dumping on her for no good reason. The M'gann and Connor thing, Connor broke up with her for a very good reason, it took M'gann a while but she eventually realized how right he was for that reason and was so horrified by her actions that she was willing to just sit there and let a villain kill her, feeling that she deserved it. That kind of instability is why Kaldur, Dick, Wally and Artemis didn't let her in on the big secret plan. She made amends, Connor acknowledged that she learned her lesson and the original reason they broke up no longer applied, and so their relationship was repaired. And for the rest of the series, M'gann refuses to fall back into old habits even when it would be really convenient for conflict resolution. What's the problem? The Zatanna arc in season 4 really bugged me. It was great, don't get me wrong, I really like Klarion as a villain, it was a great way to introduce and flesh out a new cast of characters, it's who it left out that bugs me. For YEARS, it keeps seeming like DC wants to use Amethyst Princess of Gemworld in a proper animated adaptation. Back in 2011, they had a 7-part shorts series that aired during commercial breaks, and it was great, most people (myself included)'s first introduction to the character. Then she was in the DC Superhero Girls Hero of the Year special, had like 2 speaking lines and her villain, Dark Opal, was one of the main villains of the special. Then she had a non-speaking cameo in the Teen Titans Go! movie, among like half a dozen episodes tv show. A couple years ago they even rebooted her comic, was promoted for Free Comic Book Day and everything. And in season 4, they have an arc all about Lords of Order vs Lords of Chaos, introduce a new lord of Chaos who- along with her crystalline anchor named Flaw- is an Amethyst villain. Amethyst is canonically a lord of order, that's like the perfect arc to introduce her, but they don't. Not only do they use one of her villains, they even have a random civilian who bears striking resemblance to her character design in the comics given very prominent frame focus in one scene, same color scheme and everything. It's as if they're going out of their way to cocktease Amethyst Princess of Gemworld fans, why? Is it because they think people would accuse her of just ripping off She-Ra despite the fact her comics predates the original 80's She-Ra cartoon by like 3 years and the aforementioned DC Nation shorts predate the Netflix reboot by like 7 years? Come on, she has so much untapped potential, do something with her already!

I honestly have no problem with an adaptation having the same name despite differences. I’m at a point in life where I understand that adaptations can be different and still be good, which has kind of made me care less about sharing titles. Like I guess if it’s derivativere of something and brings that thing more attention it’s ok with me. I honestly don’t think it really makes sense to judge a series purely on source material accuracy, but I get that people get mad when stuff gets changed or just left out. Idk sorry this is long.

I hate DC's 'Church of Batman' status. We have enough Batman, get over him.

I’d like to thank AceVane for making this series funnier for me.

Personally I don’t hold the name of the show against it as it was mandated by the studio and the original creators did not have that name in mind when coming up with the show. It’s pretty clear from watching the show and reading the comic that they were made by people with very different visions with only surface similarities

Wait I thought Tiffany Fox was Batgirl #6? I know Bette Kane, Barbara Gordan, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown and Charlotte Gage Radcliffe. Ugh DC you give me a headache.

When it comes to superboy and miss Martian, you kind of glossed over a episode that pretty important episode that acts as the genuine catalyst for their relationship. When the team looses their memory of the past six months, she's worried for superboy because six months is pretty much all he has in terms of memory. So later she helps restore his memories, and he feels grateful for not only that, but also taking an ability he has a negative association with(mind control) and using it for something positive in his life. They defeat the villain of the episode and grow closer. Their entire dynamic is meant to play into troubled guy sweet girl dynamic found in teen romances. With the twist being she's more the beast to his beauty( both in her true appearance and personality). Now both have significant personal issues they have to work through that are unique to them, but give them a since familiarity when their with each other. None of this is to necessarily defend the relationship. Just trying give context behind the intent.

Love this analysis!!! 🦐🦐🦐
