The "I swear I was kidding" line always gets me. The show had a good mix of serious scenes and jokes to the point that even climax has such a well-written joke.

Yes it did! Very fun show, that also manages darker themes

I loved YJ when I was younger and after rewatching a few of the episodes, It honestly got even better for me after analysing it with a more mature point of view.

It seriously ages like fine wine. Goes from a fun action show to a deeply personal mystery thriller, at least that's the transition it had for me 😂.

It really shocked me how well it aged. I expected my memory of it to be just a bit tinted by rose tinted glasses, but no, it's really, really good.

I just recently finished binging the entirety of the show and I agree, season 1 straight slaps. I'd say it's the best season, with season 2 being close, but not just as good.

@TheTalkingCorner 26 күн бұрын

Yeah that seems to be the common consensus. There are parts of season 2 I like, and also don't like. Some of the character work and dialog is phenomenal (it's got some of my favorite zingers in the series). But I don't love the tonal shift the show took, or how abruptly different it all feels. To each their own though.

S1 and S2 were literally peak for this show. S3 and S4 I don’t think were as bad as people say they are but the quality drop is pretty obvious as well as the animation drop because those goddamn freeze frames….

Also I always thought it would be interesting if they did the arc where Dick took on the cowl and trained Damian Wayne. It wouldve gone back to that idea of him not being Batman but also looked at him making Batman his own thing

The first season is spectacular, and I love every character and wish we got more time with them pre skip. When season 2 Invasion aired, everyone including myself were upset about the time skip, and as a kid I only really enjoyed when the original team was on screen or Blue Beatle and Impulse, and wasn't to fond of the story. But when I rewatched it a while ago, I loved it and it's actually almost as good as season 1, I now even like the story more in Invasion (not by much) but the first season's characterization is just so much better and it's because of the core cast. The original team steal the show every time in Invasion, especially Dick, Wally, and Kaldur. _I love Dick._ I also love the scene Connor where finds out about Kaldur going under cover and the respect he shows to Dick, even if he's pissed at him. Connor has grown so much and it never feels out of place despite him being the hot head in season 1 that blew a fuse every time he had a chance. I didn't mean to focus on Invasion when the video is about Season 1, but I at least kept it to talking about the characters from season 1. I'd need to rewatch season 3, I remember being neutral negative for most of it. And season 4 just kinda sucks, 3 was edgy but 4 would make hot topic cringe. When *you know* died so did the heart of character interactions, and the show as a whole.

@TheTalkingCorner 26 күн бұрын

Yeah I agree with a lot of what you said about S2, though in my mind I'd still say season 1's story has the edge. I'm just really partial to a simple, character driven story and season 1 has more of that.

Good video. Only small issue I have is... Batman is not the leader of the Justice League in YJ. Superman is the Main leader while Batman and Wonder Woman lead sections. You can even tell with their zeta tube code numbers. Batman is 02. Wonder Woman is 03. Superman is 01. Batman runs a lot of the day to day stuff since Supe is saving major world issues. Think of Superman as the owner of the company and Batman as the CEO. Batman is up there, but not the ultimate leader.

I love the line "they are the main charaxters of this show but not the main characters of this world" Sadly the later seasons forget this and by season 4 Superboy and Nightwing team up and fight Zod... like yeah I love Zod but these guys jumped in skill and I didnt get to see it properly

@TheTalkingCorner 27 күн бұрын

Yeah I have mixed feelings about season 2, and mostly negative feelings about season 3/4, which is why I really didn't mention them. The biggest appeal for season 1 (for me at least) is the youthful energy of everything, the positive (if slightly angsty) depiction of growing up, and the high optimism for the future. The later season feels like writing a hyper dark version of a fairy tale. I don't hate the idea of the story maturing with its characters, but jumping 5 years ahead feels so abrupt and too different.

@adamconway6101 27 күн бұрын

@@TheTalkingCorner honestly the timeskip is a cop out. Like sure you can say the realationships aren't peak but the fight between Superboy and Miss Martian over her misuse of her powers would be interesting. So would seeing why Wally wants to retire from superheroics or Robin becoming Nightwing or several other ideas the show says happened but would have made for interesting storytelling. The timeskips are at best to give us twists with little justification or at worst to say we werent up for writing that scene so we didnt. Season 2 has 5 years and squanders it. Season 3 has 2 years, and pretty much couldve taken place a few months after season 2. And season 4 feels like the most direct continuation of a previous season with a year. There are other reasons why the cracks show but the timeskips are a big one

@jakeschafer250 27 күн бұрын

Personally I really liked season 2, wasn’t a fan of season 3, and haven’t watched season 4. I just felt cheated by season 3. There were still more things that I wanted to see from the core cast, and I was disappointed that they introduced an entirely new set of characters and storylines. I suppose it was better watching the writers struggle with new characters than watching totally butcher the characters we know and love so much.

@TheTalkingCorner 27 күн бұрын

@@jakeschafer250 Yeah I don't really know why they didn't just continue developing the core cast. There's definitely enough depth and lore for each of these characters to get 4 seasons worth of development. Not saying they can't introduce new characters, but they should still balance out new characters with returning characters (season 2 did this a lot better than season 3)

@TheTalkingCorner 27 күн бұрын

@@adamconway6101 Yeah I think they wanted the time skip to surprise people and allow them to start the story in a kind of En Medias Res. Start season 2 with all the beloved characters in new places, and slowly reveal how they got there. Actually that isn't too different from season 1, except it's of course very different to INTRODUCE a character than it is to reintroduce them. Again, it just felt too abrupt and toneily different. M'gan going from a scarred, but upbeat, giddy-to-prove-herself teenager to a quasi murderer just feels weird.
