Granted I've watched the first seven episodes are okay. The voice acting and animation are good, but some of the dialogue just really goes against the grain for me.
It is VERY geared towards the age group of the protagonists.
If I were 14/15 years old and into cartoons I'd probably love it.

But, the NAMES. Kid Flash is the worst name ever.
Well, that stuff is straight from the comics
And that's fine. I'm not even opposed to "teenage group of superheroes" as a concept, but I do wish they weren't basically copies of their parent characters, so really Kid Flash is the only one I don't like, because he's basically JL flash, just younger and thus even more obnoxious. I've always like Robin as a personality foil to Batman (though I'm surprised they went with Dick Grayson Robin and not Tim Drake) so that works well, and Aqualad/Superboy/Miss Martian (though that NAME again) all act different enough from their namesakes to be interesting.

I mean Kid Flash is literally a younger version of JL Flash because they are both Wally West
I started watching Young Justice on Netflix, after JL/JLU and...meh.
It's very different than JL/JLU. It's much more serialized and there's less variety in the types of episode. Yes, JL/JLU has continuity but most episodes can be watched individually and enjoyed without seeing any other episodes. You really can't jump into the middle of YJ, you have to watch it from the beginning. JL/JLU also varies greatly in the types and tone of the stories they tell. There are serious dramatic episodes, comedic ones, fun adventure ones, sad depressing ones, etc. YJ episodes are mostly serious teen dramas. YJ also focuses a lot on building up a big conflict and almost every episode ends with some dangling plot (and the eventual payoff might be a little disappointing), while most JL/JLU stories are resolved more satisfactorily at the end of each episode/two-parter.

Yeah but JL Flash has way more memorable lines and scenes, except maybe for that last Kid Flash scene.

StraightziHere we may reign secure, and in my choice,To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered Userregular
It's not really intended as a jumping on point IIRC (I haven't reread it recently, but it was originally just the same series as Moore's Miracleman.). There is a definite break in the story between Moore's issues (showing the world that we know and how it changed) and Gaiman's issues (showing the world after it has been changed by Miracleman and his fellow superhumans). So it's a new story, but you might be a bit lost if you never read the Moore issues.
Re: Misty Knight, I remember some issue of Uncanny X-Men back in the late 80s/early 90s where Forge said that he (co-?)designed Misty's arm. Retcon by Claremont?
Alright! Thanks! So if I'm not mistaken this new #1 of MM is gonna be another reissue (actually #17 of the original run from the 90s) where Gaiman began writing. If that is the case I think I'll pick that up. I know enough backstory from the wiki too so I'll be good
Hey @Chincymcchilla , I was catching up in the previous thread and saw a post that I just got reminded of. It was about someone(me) saying that The Punisher shouldn't exist. I just wanted to clear something up if it matters.
While I don't think I actually said that he shouldn't exist, I absolutely do believe that artists have a social responsibility for what they create, just like any other person. I am not gonna view a work that shows racism is bad negatively if someone takes the opposite message. I might however view a work negatively that says violence is good, and someone takes that message. I do not believe this view is inconsistent.

AtomicTofuShe's a straight-up supervillain, yoRegistered Userregular
I thought young justice picked up a lot of steam in its second season (maybe toward the end of the first), once they either had exhausted a lot of their teen superhero ideas or realized they should focus more on a big ongoing story
then of course it ends on a ridiculous cliffhanger, so there's that
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
I imagine Feige is gunning for that though. Creative differences talk and Wright leaving Ant-man really hurt Ant-man's early buzz)\ and Whedon is still publicly bashing Marvel Execs because of crap in avengers 2. Solving that issue is probably a big priority.
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

The question is, how much was Feige a part of that issue? He's now the undisputed master of Marvel Studios, more or less, but he's had a lot of power for a while now. It's not 100% clear if his decisions have fed into these problems or if he's been trying to alleviate them. If it's the first of those two, then Feige getting more power isn't necessarily a good thing.
It's true that everyone needs an editor, but Disney's brand quality control is a beast in and of itself. If it turned out that Feige was drunk with power and started screwing up their lucrative superhero franchises, he'd be out on his ass. Restructuring happens all the time, it's just that we're hearing about it because of the size of the property.

I think it also gets attention because of Ike Perlmutter. Who is kinda of a child's idea of an eccentric billionaire made real.

I figured that since they restructured every other studio they got ahold of, they were just waiting for a gap in the release schedule to make it happen.

That could be a Batgirl too, I bet.
That's true--I went to Huntress immediately, but it could be any of the Batgirls with exposed hair, or Batwoman.
As well as any other female character with Bat-style headspikes, but I don't think there are a ton of them outside of Dr. Light.
Shazam is definitely in the bottom corner--big guy with a lightning bolt on his chest, and MM looks to be on the top row
I'm the least certain on Huntress, and I have no idea on those other two partial silhouettes
brother!
I thought I was the only person not in love with that show

Silk and squirrel girl are the only ones i can think of off hand i can think of post relaunch

the Marvel "Creative Committee" has been disbanded, at least for Marvel Studios
assuming some of the things in the article are true, like how their notes led to Wright walking off of Ant-Man, that's a pretty huge deal
they arent.
it's also being reported by sites like the hollywood reporter so it's not just rumormongering
The way it recaps the blue beetle legacy was genius.
