Young justice season 3 and 4 were the worse, and tbh the writers should start over.

Okay, I hope I don't get any hate but Young justice season 3 and 4 is the worst and, in my opinion, should be redone, like the whole thing should start all over. If i was one of the creators on the show i would've been "no were starting all over". I just want to point out that i watched a lot of the season 3 not all but some but looking back its awful and too much, and i was a big fan of yj. One they didn't focus at all on the actual young justice team i just realized, instead they focused on another team, the outsiders which is fine, but the thing is... this was in the young justice series not its own series, idk why they didn't have it be its own series once young justice became popular(but i see why, it wouldn't have made it past first season). Why was the actual Young Justice team on the sidelines? Also, there is too many characters to keep up, like they keep adding them and it makes one have sensory overload, its hard to follow and the stories don't mesh well. Not only that but wtf happen to the team Lagoon boy is off married to two ppl, beast boy is an actor now, Batgirl is in a wheelchair then guess what more ppl. I hate how they had another time skip but thats the least of my problems because i get it, you want to keep up with our time but that doesnt mean you can't focus on the actual team. Also, a lot of the story line doesn't make sense and just why they put it in. Like how Brion now is bad, after killing his uncle. They're also trying to be dc animated movie so much and i hate it. The only part I do like is that they're being inclusive with lgbt stuff and like various social issue but even they fucked up that, like i did not like how the blue hair girl is going after violet and how violet kissed her while being with Brion( i hate the troupe that a person finds out their queer while there in a relationship with another), it feels at time that when they talk about social issues it feels force and inauthentic. I'm sorry for ranting but I don't like how they did my favorite show i use to watch when i was young, which involves telling my family not to disturb me and yelling at them when we have to go somewhere at that time which pissed me off btw lol.It just doesnt feel like young justice i used to watch

How was Cadmus dug so deep?

How was it kept a secret? It was 52 levels deep, surely you can't dig that deep without the government noticing or the league being aware of it.

How did they keep it a secret?

Is it physically possible to dig that far below into the ground?

S5 dreams

I fell asleep with YJ in the background, (I basically let it play whenever I want something in the background with the foolish hope that Max will notice and green light S5 already 😅) meanwhile I had a very specific dream that there was a 1 hour special uploaded to Max as a lead in to S5 and a major plot point was that there was a speedster resembling reverse flash who kept appearing and disappearing from locations important to the team (Mount Justice ruins, Hall of Justice, Gotham, Central City). So as this mysterious new speedster appears there’s a combined effort from the JL & team (particularly Barry, Bart & Jay) to try to catch them.

The speedster keeps appearing and disappearing before anyone can approach him, and specifically members of the original team keep running into him. To make a long story short this “reverse flash” character is revealed to be Wally! Who is looking extremely worse for wear and who is struggling to maintain a physical form. For those who have read DC Rebirth it seemed to be a similar situation for Wally essentially being stuck in the speed force for years except in this situation Wally has basically been stuck in the phantom zone with him basically stuck running non stop for years on end, seemingly an activated response to him from the S2 reach bomb shooting off chrysalis energy onto him. So he appeared to have escaped back to earth from the phantom zone via the boom tube in S4 and had been appearing to his friends and teammates as well as important locations to him in an attempt to subconsciously anchor himself out of this super speed phasing state he’s been trapped in. His mental state appeared to be super destroyed with him barely having any idea who he is.

While this is happening there’s also scenes of many different heroes AND villains at the sanctuary rehabilitation center (if you’ve read heroes in crisis you’ll know that this was teased at the end of S4), so aside from the main “reverse flash” mystery there is plenty of trauma being addressed in the sanctuary from characters like zatara, Barbara, Artemis, Cheshire, Icicle Jr, Captain Marvel etc.

Usually my dreams don’t make sense or I don’t remember them but I felt the need to write this down write away. While I don’t know that I would actually want to see this happen in a future season exactly, I think my subconscious young justice loving brain offered some fun/cool ideas 😅

What do you think? Do you like it? hate it? Let me know!

What if Cadmus got to Kid Flash before his uncle did?

I’ve had this idea stuck in my head for the last week and need to hear what you all think of it.

Before Wally shows signs of speed after his experiment, Barry follows protocol for when a secret identity is compromised and calls in Martian Manhunter to psychically block Wally’s memories that tie Barry to the Flash or expose the formula for the experiment.

Days later, Wally’s recovery from the experiment seems to take a sudden turn for the worse, but it’s really the gradual manifestation of super speed. Samples are sent to the genetics lab at Project Cadmus, who immediately swoop in and take over his care, transferring him to their facility in Washington DC.

TLDR: What would happen if Cadmus discovered Wally’s super powers before the Flash?

Does he get sucked into being a military asset or doing missions for the Light (LexCorp is a major Cadmus funder after all)? What would it be like for the light to have a speedster on their side?

Or maybe the real Wally becomes a lab rat, as they experiment on him to crack the code for super power creation, but replace him with a clone.

What happens when a fire at Cadmus on Independence Day draws the attention of Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash? Do they discover the real Wally? Or is he forced to fight against his would-be liberators?

I would love to work it out in a way that preserves some of the original show plot, but I’m not tied to that.

I appreciate the drama that comes with cloning. Of reconning with one’s identity, of Wally feeling resentment towards Kid Flash for living the life he could’ve— should’ve had, of him remembering the memories Barry hid away and blaming him for how things turned out. Especially for feeling that, despite being the real Wally, the clone was loved, and carefree, and not scarred by Cadmus’s testing and therefore that the clone is who he should have been / is more deserving of life.

Ahh there’s so many possibilities and I would really love to hear other ideas so let’s explore them together!

Edited for brevity ig

Unpopular opinion, but s4 should have focused on the Outsiders

They have so much untaped potential all because the writers can’t seem to know how to properly do character arcs (or should I say, how to deal with the numerous characters they introduced but do nothing about ever). Also, if they so wanted focus on the OG team, why the hell didn’t they do season 2 with a much smaller timeskip. Would have been nice to see the team evolve with new members instead of suddenly throwing a random group at us in s2

Other unpopular opinion, but from what we’ve seen of Beast Boy, he doesn’t even do the role of leader as good as let’s say Wonder Girl. They all look up to him but we’re never shown why and are supposed to go along with it? Idk

Looking for specific fanfiction

Hey I am looking for a fic on fanfiction net. It was a collection of different short fics and had over 60 chapters. I remember one of them was Halloween themed with the mountain turned into a haunted house with the original tema running it, and another had the new young justice members surprised by Dick's hacking/coding abilities. If you know of either of these please let me know!

Season 4 is the best season of Young Justice but is not the best season of a show.

Young Justice is my favorite superhero cartoon ever made. There's a lot it does well, a lot it doesn't, and that's part of the charm. When Young Justice hits hard, it hits hard, and there's something about its production, its tight plotting, and its use of the wider characters in DC that really speaks to me.

A lot of folks talk about which season is the best season.

Young Justice Season 4 is, in my opinion, the best season of Young Justice but not the best season of television. Season 1 is its best season of television, but not the best season of this particular show.

Season 1 is only a small piece of the greater whole of the show, and a lot of the things that stand out about the future seasons of the show are not as present here. 3 out of 4 seasons include the original 6 as adults - Robin is only Robin for a season. 3 out of 4 seasons deal with an expanded cast of secondary and tertiary characters, some of which are only temporarily in focus within each season (ie Blue Beetle and Impulse during S2, Forager/Halo/Geoforce during S3, each mini-arc's expanded character roster in S4). 3 out of 4 seasons deal with season-long plots without resorting to "mission of the week" style episodes, while season 1 has a different format to support that style.

Finally finished the show

After like 8-9 years ive finally been able to sit down over the last week and watch the show. Fuck me its good, i also noticed as the seasons went off CN and onto HBO Max (im assuming) they allowed more gore and violence which was a good addition imo. Not here to spoil anything.

(Also glad to see a MC represent Bi men.)

Obviously the show has its issues, but i hope they come around on it (again) and let us get 1-2 more seasons. (which i doubt.)

What was the point in "killing" Wally in season 2 if they dont confirm hes dead? Like they did a whole episode just to say "hes dead! Orrrrrr is heeee heehehhehehheh

Why didn’t Cyborg get a [Spoiler] ?

In the same episode that Vic gets all injured and nearly dead, we see Fred Bugg with two gees get a glamour charm, so surely one could’ve worked for Vic too if he was worried about how he looked (although to me he looked rad af)

Or did they do this and I forgot?

Who agrees?

Season 2 would have better if either of these were true

-1: immediately picked up from the end of season 1 and didn’t just show it as a refresher, meaning instead of just showing it then having a long time not explained time skip that introduced 50 new members to the point where it could have just been the Teen Titans; they should have just picked up from end of season 1 and begin showing what the six that were unaccounted for did, and then showing the backstory for Rocket joining the young justice league, and then adding few more characters.

-2: they add the same characters but overtime and with backstory, and not just in one season.

How does everyone know about vandal savage's history

At the end of season 3 when black lightning was nominated as chairperson of the league, he stared how he didn't want another situation where " good guys" turn away from the light like vandal savage, black Adam and geoforce. How does the league even know about vandal's history ( him having good intentions, being nabu's rather and so forth)
