#Young Justice: Phantoms

[astreinomane]

You know...

We have seen all kind of LGBTQ+ representation in animated media in this periode, which is a wonderful thing, really.

But there's one queer category that still hasn't got the chance to shine.

Polyamory.

Like, the only animated poly representations we've got so far are these.

And they are all beatiful, really.

But we need more.

Many fans of Young Justice, including myself, can agree that Young Justice: Phantoms was absolutely sensational. This season was beautifully crafted by engrossing storytellers like Greg Weisman, Brandon Vietti, and many other creatives behind the series. From the innovative storylines to the focus on characters we all love to watch, Young Justice: Phantoms solidifies why the HBO Max original is one of the greatest superhero shows in all of media.

However, we must keep in mind that a fifth season renewal for Young Justice is not a sure bet. Like many shows, especially programs exclusive to streaming services, it's important to exemplify a fanbase's love for a series with high viewership numbers and frequent discussions on social media in order to get more seasons of it.

For the uninitiated, if you want more seasons of Young Justice, please do the following:

Spread the word on social media, let @wbd, @hbomax, and @warnerbrothersanimation know that we want more Young Justice.

Use hashtags in your posts related to the show like #RenewYoungJustice, #KeepBingingYJ, and #SaveEarth16

Purchase the tie-in comics and other affiliated merchandise related to Young Justice like DVDs. If we buy enough issues of the tie-in comics, such as Young Justice: Targets, we may even see the regular return of the comic series as well.

Arguably the most important factor in getting more Young Justice though is to binge the show like crazy on HBO Max. Leave it on in the background if you have to, but watch as many episodes of the show as you can to increase those viewership numbers. Warner Brothers Discovery will hopefully take notice of how much steam the show's been getting and possibly renew it for a fifth, or maybe even more, seasons.

We've saved this show once in the past, and we can do it again! If we keep up everything listed above, we'll have a renewal announcement in no time. It'd be a real shame to let Young Justice end now when there's so much more story to tell. Remember to stay whelmed, feel the aster, and crash all modes!

We’re doing another TV series review!

Some things about this season were spoiled for me by YouTube recommendations and a thumbnail for a clickbait comic news site, so I’d recommend doing your best to avoid those as you watch the season.

Young Justice is one of my favorite superhero shows, and I think it’s one of the best comic adaptations I’ve ever seen. So when it was canceled after two seasons, because Cartoon Network decided they didn’t get enough toy sales, I was pretty torn up about it. But then it was brought back! On a streaming service I didn’t have any intention of getting. So it was a while before I got to season three (got it on DVD), and even longer before I got to season four (which as far as I know isn’t on DVD, but I got it on iTunes).

This season has a different structure than the ones before. There are clearly defined arcs, centering on characters from the original Team (except for Wally, of course). This is a really cool idea, especially given how massive the universe for this adaptation has become, and lets us separate the story arcs into ways that they’re clearly delineated from each other. The season won’t run together in your head, because there are obviously separate chunks of the story as it goes on.

Split attention also lets the series show off more corners that it wouldn’t have the time if it had a more focused story. If you wondered more about the structure of Atlantis, or what was going on in the mystical side of the DC universe, this season has got you covered. I appreciated that we got to see so much of the world developed in this season, outside of brief snippets that we got before.

The downside to this, however, is that there are arcs that don’t really have much to do with each other, all kind of vaguely leading up to a finale. I really liked Zatanna’s arc, but so many of the characters there don’t really add much to the overall story and don’t do much for the rest of the season.

There’s also the frustrating pace of the series, which hasn’t changed. Yeah, the overall storyline of the season moves along well enough. But since the end of Invasion we’ve been gearing up for war with Darkseid, and spoiler alert, that doesn’t happen in this season. By the end of the season, important developments have happened, and it’s kind of cool that the series is taking its time to build up. At the same time, it’s also frustrating because it seems like things are barely going anywhere, and this series keeps getting canceled. You’d think that would motivate the makers to speed things up, apparently not.

Overall though, I think the story is pretty satisfying. It pulls focus back on the core Team from the original season, which is a nice touch because it means that the makers haven’t forgotten where it all started, or where they plan to go with it. Even Raquel and Zatanna, who did not get as much development in the original season as they were late additions, have more to do in their own arcs this time around.

I don’t remember if the credits scenes were as meaningful last season, but I appreciate how they’re used here. I don’t think any of them are necessary to understanding the Plot of the season, but they’re cool little tidbits that feel nice to watch (it’s a shame HBO Max urges you to skip them with a timer).

Also, hey, there’s more blood this time around? Outsiders had some blood, but here? Especially in Zatanna’s arc, there is a lot more blood and guts going around. It’s definitely the result of the showrunners deciding they don’t have to hold back now that they’re not on Cartoon Network. Be aware of that going in!

So if you loved Young Justice so far, it’s a must-see, but if you’re just getting into the show, this season is an excellent continuation. Of course, I’d like to see even more, but that’s not much up to me as it is to whoever is in charge at HBO Max and DC Entertainment–and lately who knows where their heads have been.

I’m just thinking about what if Brion had nightmares after his parents died and while he was living in the Premier Building he’d wake up screaming and the Outsiders would be there to comfort him. After he killed his uncle and stole the thrown there was no one there to help him shake off the nightmares

#it makes his betrayal that much worse #because they were his family and they helped him through one of the worst times in his life #and then he just abandoned them like that #ouch #young justice #young justice: phantoms #young justice outsiders #brion markov #the outsiders #young justice headcanons #yj season 4 #yj season 3

while we’re on the subject of young justice not really caring about their speedster characters… kinda sucks we don’t have an evil speedster villain

bc every season we’ve had evil equivalents of the og team they’ve had to fight… evil kryptonians and martians in season 4, evil atlanteans in seasons 2 and 3, klarion in each season, and a whole catalogue of non-meta supervillains like Sportsmaster and Lex for Artemis and Robin and the others but like… no Zoom. No Reverse Flash.

I get that they’ve never bothered to actually dedicate time to speedster storylines which is why Wally only had one or two episodes dedicated to him and his contributions to the team per season before his death, and they’ve never dived deep into Bart’s real personality or the inner workings of the Flashfam like they have with the Supers, the Arrows, or the Martians, but like ?? so much untapped potential I don’t get it grandon WHY

The Flashes are always the heart of the Justice League and their super powered teams and every single scene where they go hard on their powers is cool and satisfying and yet they don’t care !! they gave Wally a humiliating death and little to none character/physical development or recognition of his strengths outside of Robin and Artemis; they built up Bart’s time traveling like it mattered in seasons 2 and 4 and never did anything with it, they even dumbed down his abilities so it looked like Lor-Zod was stronger than him when they were evenly matched; Barry has probably 10 minutes of total screen time throughout all four seasons; not to mention Jay, Iris, Max, and the twins…

This is a lot of rambling but anyway as a flash fan who wants to see them happy and thriving in the animated and live action shows and movies I’m so tired of having them butchered :/ is it too much to ask they get even a little screen time instead of always focusing on the arrows the supers or the bats?? please???

THE FACT THAT ICICLE JR GOT TO ATTEND THEIR WEDDING 😭

#yj spoilers #Young Justice: Phantoms #I love him and Conner's broship

[cartoonfangirl1218]

What does it say about my priorities that the best part of the finale for me was the icicle jr cameo 😆 But seriously, good for them, continuing their jail bromance and inviting him. Also I just realized Connor Kent, Cameron Mahkent. C. Kent Icicle Jr. and Supy are almost like brothers with the similar names. True bromance goals without even trying

Plus he got the bouquet!

And yeah, I know spitfire is great but what if he and Artemis dated briefly? I mean in the yj tie in, they’re childhood friends. And in the original dc comics somewhere they got married. Why not give them a brief fling until Wally comes back. I’d love to see that double date happen lol It’d be an interesting dynamic.
