Young Justice

Spoiler:

The show now pulls the focus to characters from the last season. No explicit reasons given for SB/MM break up but the forced mind read might be a hint. Did the scene with Alanna throwing the Krolotean a vine feel out of place to anyone else? If the show didn't want to show the little guy dying he could have just jumped from the tank.

M'Gann didn't kill him, she lobotomized him.

That always seems like the one movie Disney likes to keep swept under the rug.

You know, outside of Song of the South and The Black Cauldron.

Robin Hood and Song of the South have one other thing in common: they're incredibly fucking boring.

Ah, but the latter has the best water ride ahahaha

The Young Justice episode beginning in media res was kind of pointless. It's like the episode was 2 minutes short and didn't know what to fill it with.

I remain really confused by the new season of Young Justice.

Spoiler:

We get a none explanation of what happened between Superboy and Miss Martian. Beast Boys mom apparently got killed by Queen Bee. Miss Martian is fucking loco now. If she's doing things like this at the drop of a hat, I'm surprised the league hasn't come down on her.

They were beating the crap out of the aliens. All she accomplished was maybe finding out the enemies overall plan, maybe.

First Young Justice episode with

The Joker. And he was kind of lame, really. Came off as if the Joker was just a persona, not who he actually was.

I wasn't paying attention, but it wasn't a planned revenge, was it? He was saying he wasn't invited again, and had the outfit on ready to go.

Yeah. Him in Young Justice

Spoiler:

is possibly the weakest portrayal in any medium since The Batman, if not longer. And I love Brent Spiner. Fucking shame. There's no problem with him hamming it up, but the dialogue itself was just so hackneyed.

That being said, I do like how they made it clear why the Joker is still a threat. Everyone else is using energy weapons and blunt force trauma. Joker pulls out a fucking knife and tries to gut a twelve-year-old, he don't care.

I love following the crazy conspiracy subplot in Metalocalypse. It's insane that it's been going on for years, we still know virtually nothing, and I still get super excited about every new scrap of info that's revealed.

Spoiler:

The newest ep revealed that whales were trying to talk to the band way back in season 1 when they were recording in their submarine. And there was that whale in the very beginning of the first ep of season 4 during that voice-over about a prophecy - maybe it was meant to be the whale speaking?

And all this is background to the death metal band who are just so hilariously damn stupid about everything besides music. Totally bananas.

when the fuck did they go to space? They "come back to earth" in the start of season 4 but the last episode in season 3 had nothing about that.

what the fuck did I miss and did Nathan use his space copter?

she sucked it out of his brain along with info on the missing Justice League hours. The alien's probably brain dead because of it.

I missed a lot of episodes,

Spoiler:

at the end of season 2 they got attacked, right? so they lift their house into the sky and do work on it. I thought that's what they meant by them coming back to earth in season 4.

Yeah, all throughout season 3 their house was converted into a floating fortress while they were rebuilding from the season 2 finale.

So nostalgic...has it already been 20 years? I remember I was 9 when it started...*gasp*.

I am really liking Young Justice's continuity.

Not so much the emo.

But the continuity is nice.

Edit: Bahahaha new motorcycle.

Klyka

Watched the first episode of "Motorcity". It was good and I love the animation.
But more importantly: IS THAT MARK HAMILL AS THE EVIL GUY???

DanHibiki

so anyone watch Motorcity yet?


Crazy Deadleaves style action and they were lucky enough to get Brandon Small to do the intro music.

Fencingsax

Edit: I am an idiot.

This weeks Young Justice...

Spoiler:

So now we know why Aqualad is no longer on the team. Althought I guess it should have been obvious what was happening.

Also, Blue Beetle talking to his armor continues to be the funniest running joke in the show.

Antimatter

I've seen the first ep of Motorcity, it's really good. And yes, it is in fact Mark Hamill as the villain.

Aqualad is under deep cover trying to infiltrate the Light under Robin

I hate Young Justice so much right now.

Spoiler:

This is not how you do a timeskip. You can't just have random shit happen that wasn't established at all.

Black Mantis is my father and that chick that dumped me died. I AM NOW EVIL! That makes total sense with my previously established character!

The entire roster of the Light is still free because the JL has done jack shit the last five years!

At this rate Artemis and Kid Flash are probably fucking dead.

Let's watch the rest of the season before jumping to conclusions.

And it's Black Manta, not Mantis

Man, the reasons why HamHam is upset are the reasons why I'm liking YJ:I?

So about this week's episode

Spoiler:

Uh, I think Batman has a clue about Miss Martian mind wiping people, and he doesn't give a shit. Does it seem that way? If so, holy shit.
