Young Justice

[GamerSlyRatchet]

i would love an episode witha training exercise that they have to take on they're older counterparts in a group building exercise, and kinda tease how these characters develop like they have in the comics. other than that, meh to the episode

This week's new episode features training from Black Canary.

If we're not supposed to make any comparisons, or think about the show in any context of what we know about DC, then they should have made it about a team of original characters.

But you're making comparisons to their Earth-1 counterparts. This is a different Earth so it doesn't really hod up.

While I get that Aqualad's weapons (do they have a name?) can make electrified water constructs, I still thought him shooting globs of water at his attackers seemed lame. Not Superfriends-Aquaman lame, but still something that should be beneath him.

The police and the military have used high pressure hoses and water cannons for crowd control and deterrence for decades. It's an effective, nonlethal way to repel aggression.

And I don't think his weapons create electrified water constructs, per se. His weapons generate water constructs, but I believe the electricity is generated by his body. They're separate things that he can combine into a single attack.

They're vague enough that I don't buy for one minute that one of the kids (and they are kids) on the team is actually going to end up truly dead dead.
*Maybe* Speedy/Red Arrow disappears in an explosion. Or maybe Red Tornado gets deactivated. But it's got to be something like that.

I'm not so sure. Gi Joe Renegades and the Transformers Prime both killed off characters in the first episode and they are Y7FV shows. Young Justice is TV PG so they could actually kill off a character if they wanted.

thats my understanding of it as well.

The ship is totally out of Flight of the Navigator. And that was totally Bane in Dropzone right?

That was totally Bane...

One thing struck me as odd, from the creators: "It's a young DC universe, Superman only showed up ten years ago." Ten years in isn't really that young? Hell, isn't it only 15 on the sliding timleline in the comics?

A) I'd bet Zatarra (time line wise he's the "1 of these things is not like the others" member of this Justice League).
B) 12 years last time it was given in print (Superman books during Busieks run); I guess these guys got sidekicks later.

My money's on Green Arrow. I can see his death taking a huge toll on Speedy and forcing him to take up the Red Arrow mantle.

And with that, man, I am loving the hell out of YJ. Aside from some minor irks with some creative decisions (I was hoping for Tim/Bart over Dick/Wally, Ms. M having a catchphrase), the wife and I haven't bounded over a comic based toon this much since JLU (Spect Spidey was her thing, stating that Peter & co. looked too much like extras from Scott Pligrim).

Really dug the YJ take on Bane as well, as it seemed a lot closer to his Secret 6 counterpart, which make me nerd happy.

I was thinking he seemed out of place too. But he's not a major character by many means. Hell, he was a silent cameo. I would have fogotten all about him already, if not for Conan O'Brien pointing him out in the Flaming C clip. "That's not a superhero, that a magician doing a kid's birthday party!"

Zatarra was an odd choice. one would expect Zatanna instead.

If they are going for a generational story as they appear to be, I can see why having Zatara to start makes more sense.

Especially given a possibility something could happen to Zatara that will result in his daughter Zatanna taking the helm

But there's no indication Zatanna is joining the show anytime soon, is there? We know Arrowette is coming.

Who knows? I actually think Zatanna here is already a grown woman and ends up joining the League.

I'm also guessing Zatara is the one who helps Kid Flash get over his denial of magic.

Zatanna was confirmed when the series was first announced, as a multi-episode guest star, not a YJ member. She'll be the same age as Wally I believe.
