How Young Justice got so F*cking BAD 

My problem with young Justice is that when it made that jump from at most PG-13 to an adult show, it felt like they stopped putting the same amount of focus in subtle detail into the show especially when it came down to fear and shock. Instead of being tasteful with the gore and only needing to use it when it best fit, they just used it everywhere and leaned on it so heavily to make things scary or high stakes. Of course, this doesn't stand for every episode but it does it alot. The Halloween episode from season one was so well done and portrayed such a tragic situation better than any of the "scary" scenes in the newer episodes.

My biggest issue with this season is I felt like we were watching the side character. There was an episode where we got to see a few minutes of what was going on with “Batman incorporated” and that looked like a show I would rather be watching.

For me, season 2 is where it went wrong. We had the time jump and all these new characters and it just didn't work. Instead of focusing on a team of 7-9 characters, we instead deal with 25.

My main issue with season 3 & 4 is… 1. Like season two, it throws you in the middle of a status quo change that you learn about along the way, it feels like you started a show in the middle of it. 2. There are SO MANY characters and story lines, it’s like they wanna create their own entire DC universe, but we only have one show to tell stories and it’s so it’s jumping all over the place and lacks build up your cohesive storytelling 3. The season finals do it every final does, the penultimate episodes makes you think they’re going to lose and then in the final episode, it shows this was all part of their plan, the whole time, and they defeat the villains and wrap everything up in the season neatly in an abnormally quick amount of time

It's a show from 2010 still on air in 2024 that instead of wrap things up it keep expanding. when it stared, I was in high school, 27 right now almost 30 I don't care anymore about it.

9:40 "To have your cake and eat it too" means to eat your cake, and get to keep it, it means to want to mutually exclusive things.

Guy Gardner was really funny in the short amount of screen time he had.

They jumped the shark. And turned YJ from a,super hero show that could have been on par with justice league and JLU to a CW filled crapfest

I swear each season feels like its own show season 1 was awesome loved it from start to finish. Season 2 was still very good some parts I didn’t love but some parts I liked even more than season 1. I don’t know what happens after that because whenever I try and remember season 3 or 4 my brain simply fills with static and I fall into the sunken place.

The saying you can't have your cake and eat it too means that if you eat your cake you can't save it.

Part of me felt that Young Justice went downhill when Season 2 came along. While the time skip was kinda cool, it somehow decided to throw in new characters, some fan favorites like Tim Drake as Robin, Wondergirl, Spoiler and Orphan, who were nothing more than background characters or just plot devices. Not to mention the whole romance between Miss Martian and Lagoon Boy who are both equally horrible in that relationship. Miss Martian going out with someone else in front of Connor because she was mad at him for breaking up with her, even though he did it because Connor didn't like Miss Martian using her mind powers to reduce the bad guys into a vegetative state. Lagoon Boy in the other hand acted like an all around douchebag who think he's better than everyone else. And of course there's Tula's off screen death which was one of the sole reasons why Aqua Lad turned rogue. If you want to know how Tula died, go play the Young Justice Game with s**tty graphics, mediocre gameplay and meh and disappointing story. Everything you've said about both Seasons 3 and 4 were true as both stories of each season are a mess, way too many characters, a drop in quality with the animation and of course a half assed adult setting with stuff like sex, blood and gore and swearing. And some people say that Teen Titans Go was the worst thing that happened to humanity and is one of the few reasons why Young Justice got cancelled back in 2013. At least Teen Titans Go was entertaining to watch and basically suitable for kids. Young Justice doesn't know what it's tone is.

The only thing I really remember enjoying a lot from Season 3( havent seen 4) was that episode where Dick Grayson helped Red Arrow with his security company. It's a shame too I can still remember season 1 and 2 very clearly. I felt like the big problem with the 3rd season was that they tried to recreate what they did with the second season. Introduce many new characters and have the previous characters in different roles. But it didn't come together cause I didn't really like the new characters, and the old characters just weren't as entertaining or interesting as they were before.

Beast Boy is so annoying in this season and became a tool and Black Lighting was a such a baby, whole franchise became cringe

It’s frustrating that Greg Weisman who has been making good stuff in the past is not doing great with Young Justice season 3 and 4, his writing feels a lot sloppy and repetitive. Plus he doesn’t want this show to end which is a red flag don’t ya think?

I’m caught off guard at how they didn’t hire younger voice actors to play the kids. Eduardo Dorado jr is supposed to be 17 and is voiced by a 50 year that sounds like a 50 year old

X-men 97 did better than Young Justice season 3 and 4.

Season 3 had a lot going on, but so little of it was interesting. While season 2 handled the newly introduced characters with returning characters well, season 3 definitely fumbled. Definitely the hardest to watch season. Season 4 is more interesting and focuses more on our original crew, not perfect, but worth a watch.

Good video. Honestly, it was a more even-handed critique of the season than I was expecting considering the title and thumbnail, which I appreciate.

The ordinary humans being able to take on Kryptonians with little to no tech or upgrades is just contrived nonsense.

Season 1 was really good. Season 2 was ok the main problem with season 2 was the 5 year time skip otherwise it's fine. Season 3 was just god awful. I was so looking forward to it when it was announced what a let down.

I own and have read every young justice comic, I own the young justice video game with all DLC, I have every action figure they ever released. I consider myself a massive fan of this show But I can say without a doubt that season 3 and 4 are pure horse shit

Season 3 is probably my least favorite season of Young Justice

I tried several times to watch season 3 and 4 and they were just incomprehensible to me

0:18 Bro hasn't watched Batman TAS, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, ect.

Young Justice along with Justice League Unlimited have great world building and while both have lots of characters I feel Justice League no matter how old that show is handles the massive characters better than Young Justice did. Young Justice makes me feel like I’m forgetting who this character is 😂when we barely saw them before or never did, the Justice League cartoons managed the lots of characters better by giving each their own arc for like 2 eps and had em teaming up with previous characters. I do love S1 and 2 of Young Justice more than 3 I haven’t seen 4 yet

Tbh it's gonna stay bad until wally returns

I’d say there’s a line between being bad and something that could’ve been better. And young Justice struck me as comics and each character focus is like a different ongoing comic run which get jumbled but also it’s kinda hard for them to all be bad math wise. And I’d say anytime beast boy was on screen that boy was carrying. And season 4 is better since they’re more restrained since they gave most of the main cast an arc (except for my boy Nightwing), was cool to see Jason in season 3 for a cameo

They should have switched it so Darkseid invaded Earth during the mythic age and had Starro attack during the time of The Mongols. If the forces of Apokolypse had attacked during the 13th century, someone would have written it down, a mind control monster might get swept under the rug if The Great Khan ordered it.

I love hearing different opinions on the Young Justice show!! Your viewpoints / summaries of the characters and plots really clarify a lot of what I missed, especially considering Season 3 isn't one I revisit 😓 (i really only rewatch Klarion's episode because Season 2 robbed me of him lmao) My own biggest gripe is the lack of true Outsiders relevant to the plot. As much as I adore seeing the wrap-up for the Team I've come to know, it felt a bit cheap with how they handled a "new generation" of public heroes working outside the U.N's jurisdiction, as well as the orchestrated events from the League to get them good PR. I get that's the whole point of that conflict, but I still feel it was dealt poorly... My one praise, however, is that it still felt roughly in the confines of its own universe as much as it borrowed from various comics! It felt like a truly different continuity as opposed to being 1:1 love-letters to their comics. (Season 4 I felt fumbled this, but that's a whole can of worms!) I can't wait to see more from your channel

I got to agree with this that there was too much this season. I also felt that there were to many characters used. Nightwing, Aquaman, Superboy, Miss Martian, Tigress, Zatanna, Geo-Force, Halo, Forager, Terra, Black Lightning, Helga, Cyborg, El Dorado, Beast Boy, Wondergirl, Blue Beetle, Static, Impulse, Thirteen, Oracle, Red Robin, Orphan, Arrowette, Spoiler. I count at least 25 characters that were important to the story. 25! In season 1, we got to explore each character and their problem due to the small cast, more than once. Season 2, focused more on the plot, but at least gave characters moments like Miss Martian's frying people's minds and Aqualad being a double agent. But season 3, we got way too much to explore. It wasn't that bad and I did enjoy it, but there were still too many characters. I understand that you need new characters because you can't keep reusing the same characters over and over again, making them overcome a random problem that comes out of no where. The main 6's problems were already resolved in the first 2 seasons. But add to many and you risk just adding characters to just be there. Like in all honesty, Tim Drake and Cassie. Their relationship comes out of nowhere and they didn't have any story in my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. Cassie wasn't even a main playable character in the Young Justice game, where her own mother was kidnapped in!

Even if S3 is my least favorite season of Young Justice, I do still enjoy it and can admire it for taking big swings. That being said, I do really love Season 4 (Phantoms) and actually like how it’s sectioned into mini-arcs for every lead character that slowly collide together. Warning for Season 4: because of its structure, you’ll have to wait a while to see Dick Grayson as he comes into play in the final arc, but it’s still cool.

honestly I want to just forget season 2 3 and 4 and start a new season 2 with a different storyline that continue from season 1, I really hate the time skip in season 2 because you have to play a game to know some of what happened in the time skip, in season 2 I hoped that conner would get his telekinesis powers to make him a little unique to other character who have super strength

I keep thinking that maybe Beast Boy would be fine if he was voiced by anyone BUT Greg Cipes and was written to be less annoying and preachy. And I probably wouldn't mind his new character design if he only looked like that as a civilian while going back to his monkey-like appearance when he works as a superhero. That could have been interesting. But oh well, I guess that's too hard for a Shape-shifter who specializes in animals while having the word "Beast" in his name. 😒

Outsiders and Phantoms were very slow to watch and too many side plots I just didn't care about. So much wasted potential and with the timeskips make it worse. While I appreciate its mature themes, it like they sidelined the main plot.

Young Justice seasons 1 and 2 were incredible particularly season 1. I went from loving it to hating it in season 3

Never enjoy western comic or cartoon, except for Tom and Jerry. So, I guess I've never get under it. So I'm not gonna get over it. I just walk that way. ( -_- )o-

I thought the last 2 seasons sucked so bad

You deserve way more views, you're cooking

lil bro kinda remind me of the🤓emoji, nah but seriously this is a good video and can't wait for the next one

yeah, i lost interest

I still hate what this show did to Beast Boy. He used to be a cute and chipper Monkey Boy with killer character design. Now he's just an annoying and preachy celebrity who might as well have a different name.

Season 4 is pretty interesting, I actually liked it first watch, it took me about 2 years to finish season 3.

If you think season 3 was bad…season 4 says “hold my beer”

Really I was seeing Young Justice season three as a cluster fuck of an arc’s of many mixing into one

If Darkseid ever did use the Anti Life Equation wouldn’t it affect him too ?

I can't wait for season 5..... oh wait 😂😂😂

Its just a moment before this guy goes viral

Fred Bugg with two Gs...

It’s not even that bad. Season 3 was half good and half bad. Season 4 was fun. Besides both brought us enjoyable characters

Keep these vids coming man !

If you didn't like 3 you will hate 4

Season 4 was way better hope to see you review it

And this is why i like teen titans more than young justice 😒

Season three was both good and annoying

I also wish S4 is also good , I also didnt like S3

Wait what about Young Justice: Phantoms? why didn't you cover it here?

Halo/Violet is non-binary.
