Is Young Justice As Great As We Remember? - Part 1 | A Complete Review of Old Young Justice 2010 

Maybe one day you can review Batman:The Brave and the Bold

Thank you for making a video on this series, especially since the third season premiered yesterday. I hope you feel better and take it easy, I don't want you to hurt yourself.

Really like your video análisis... But editing was king of repetitive on this one. Wasn't bad, I'm just a perfectionist, just wanted to say it.

I'm so excited that you're doing Young Justice as well! It's so cool when channels have multiple projects going on at once, it keeps you interested in what you're reviewing I think if you're not talking about the same thing every week. Also it gives people who aren't all that interested in one or two of the other shows a third option to watch. Anyway, great video! I'm super hyped for how your channel is taking off!

@Lowart Hey Lowart, Would love to donate but I am afraid I disagree with recent actions taken by both Patreon and PayPal, and am boycotting both as a matter of principle. You seem like a level headed person so I assume you can understand the predicament that this conflict creates. Is there any other means by which I could donate to you? Please let me know.

@laz kar : "the REAL answer" -- like your opinion is the "REAL" answer as opposed to what the video is saying? I'm responding to what the video is about. And if it isn't so good, then what is a better show? I'd love some recommendations on what is supposedly better.

80% of the other comments identical to yours, you guys can stop commenting this now

@@jordankasa2491 : Uh, I posted this like immediately after the video came out. But okay? I'm still asking what is the better show if this one is bad.

@@StefanLopuszanski im just tired of seeing the same comment on every video this guy makes, his comment section quickly becomes overrun with people just saying "yes" or "yes it is"

@@jordankasa2491 : Well... then maybe Lowart should start his video with that instead of baiting people into the answer for multiple videos?

It also made sense because he had stronger feelings for Artemis yet he didn't realize it yet.

I think it could make sense in how she is oblivious to a lot of other things. He could be looking at it and assuming she doesn't realize what he is saying, and she often doesn't seem to catch it. So he assumes he has a shot as she will eventually catch on.

@@The810kid I agree with Mason Frost, but I always thought that Kid Flash started liking Artemis because he started realizing Artemis (somebody/anybody) liked him. Now, he could get some "lovin" from somebody on the team.

Me too 100% and since he was my favorite character, I was so happy he was mature about it.

Exactly what I was going to say. It shows that he is still a good (albeit annoying, sure) person because he wouldn't continue to flirt with someone when they're in a relationship, let alone in one with his friend.

While that is true Wally does directly state it a few times in this show

It's actually pretty often stated, from a few references in the comics to a mention a couple times in the show, and to the Flash fainting in the first season of Flash(The live-action show) because he isn't eating enough, and Cisco creating extremely high-calorie foods for him.

nessesaryschoolthing yep all speedsters have to eat high calories or just large amounts of food. All that energy has to come from somewhere

@@rotimika Considering their super fast metabolism they should also poop multiple times per day.

@@jonaslinter what if they do but they poop at super speed so no one knows?

Totally agree

Like the witchboy aka emo pilgrim

Greg Weisman (creator) has actually said that is true, and that the show isn't about the villains so he doesn't mind them being caught in the energy of it all.

Yup Weisman pulls out a lot of obscure stuff

He wants every villain to be developed. Which is ridiculous. Not every henchman and assassin can be developed.

Dick King Barry just says Wally can be fast when he wants to be, since he just ate the ice cream.

I feel like that event should've been used on Dick Grayson or Artemis instead because of how fucked their life is

Chrinik well the reason he doesn’t believe in magic is because of one of Flash’s villains Abra kadabra who uses future technology from the 25th century to mimic magic. Due to that, Wally just thinks that all so called magic is just futuristic technology or some type of meta human powers that appear Supernatural.

Soon after the team encounters Dr. Fate and Wally meets Nabu, that is when he is shown magic is a real thing but denies when Artemis asks if magic was real in Mount Justice just to mess with her.

All the other stuff is explained by science in his world though. It's like why Sokka from ATLA doesn't believe in fortune telling - all the other stuff in his world, even the spiritual stuff, obeys fairly specific rules.

To be fair wally Powers came from science since he recreated the accident that give barry his Powers

@laz kar Except it's not great it is greatly better

@@albertthepeacock8020 more like it's "Excellent as I remember".

Honestly I think season 1 was the best, 2 was good but confusing and 3 I wish Kid flash was in it.

@@kingkomodo9969 so far of what we can watch of season 3 it's pretty good, not being on an actual Network lets them tackle subject matter differently with a darker tone.

It's as crash as I remember, but darker

Dont listen to him, the show is great and its cool it got you into comics. What comic series is your favorite so far?

@@SzatanistaDzezowy the show is good but it has flaws some my favorite series is earth one superman ,geoff johns teen titans , and recently that not dc is nick spencer spiderman run

@@SzatanistaDzezowy but i always look for more stuff, aquaman was decent enough for me to pick up a geoff johns omibus of aquaman

That's really cool!

Same- basically this and Greg Rucka's Batwoman got me into comics, DC comics specifically.

no

serenityq26 go ahead and try to name another dc show or movie better than Young Justice. Hint: you can’t

LJ Batman the animated series, Superman the animated series, Justice League and its sequel Unlimited. Need I say more?

Titan990 the only one that even comes close is Justice League Unlimited, and Young Justice is still significantly better

LJ lol no Batman the animated runs circles around Young Justice and JLU is essentially Young Justice but better.

”and Captain Marvel.” Hehehehe😆.Lol, who the fuck calls him Captain Marvel anymore? It’s Shazam.

@French Bryan This reply is kinda late, but I guess I stand corrected.

I mean he somewhat resembles Conner from Hello Meagan, and she even names him after that Conner. But they do get moments for the initial attraction, and then get to know each other better.

@@mattisonfroese4092 Agreed. It was selfish of her to name Conner after her "ideal boyfriend" but like, that's not the foundation of their relationship

Beautifully written comment

They're relationship is bad for me because they keep getting back together when they still need to work out of all of their issues. The issues they have need time to be fixed and cannot be just be a one-conversation type deal. They need to take a break from each other before marriage.

@@hail9794 Didn’t they? They spend majority of season 2 apart and correct me if I’m wrong they don’t get back together until Outsiders which is years later.

Agreed, it felt incredibly nitpicky. I think people need to get over the idea that every single character we interact with needs some long overarching development.

I agree mostly for the fact that having all these other less significant villains helps it feel more like a living world where the villainy that The Team has to deal with isn't just limited to the plot-relevant villains. I just wish Joker wasn't among the ones who weren't plot relevant, especially when other big names like Lex, Black Manta, Ra's, Vandal Savage and Darkseid were.

Course, this wouldn't be the last time Joker got shafted in favor of Ra's coughbewarethebatmancough

It gets so much better with season three! The new heroes and how they relate to actual issues in real life (Metahuman trafficking has very similar characteristics to sex trafficking and human trafficking in the modern world) the third season was amazing. Still, it wasn't as good as season 2 (that is my personal favorite solely because of Artemis in that season). Besides that, Outsiders did an amazing job and should be praised for listening to their audience and including the adult themes we have been looking for.

Joaquin J Fernandez he rly IS the best character

Because guys pursuing women who show no interest is an issue that the show couldve addressed more seriously but it didnt. I wasnt bothered as much as Lowart, i just cringed a bit. But i do agree they couldve shown Flash reflect on his behaviour later on in a small way.

@@ordinarytree4678 The show doesn't say he is right. It points out that Wally is an immature KID. Come season 2 he rarely if ever makes a pass at Megan, he matures and no longer acts the way he did. Showing a character grow and develop is a great way to handle a subject like unwanted remarks. Especially for a children's cartoon.

Ordinary Tree What the guy above me said

Joaquin J Fernandez Because he was arguably the most undeveloped character from the main 6 characters. -Superboy had to deal with his anger and him not being worthy for the mantle of superman.This is due to Superman not seeing superboy as his son/brother and him being a kryptonian human hybrid.(as he is weaker than superman) -Robin had to deal with him wanting to be a different hero than Batman.(He doesn’t want to make decisions that kills his friends.) -Miss Martian wants to be accepted by her friends and later she is scarred by accidentally harming her friends with her powers(she is scared that her powers will make her friends not accepting of her.) -Artemis has to deal with her villain parentage and wants to branch out from her family being villains.She is also insecure about being one of the few in the team that does not have powers. -Aqualad's character development is in the whole of season 2 was about his grief of Tula and not wanting to be the leader after him being scarred mentally by Megan's powers on accident. Then what did we get with Kid Flash? that he needs to be more open with how some things just can't be explained.And suddenly they removed him from the team in season 2 and has to share the spotlight with Impulse where they later killed him off.Do the writers seriously expect us to care about a barely developed character compared to the rest of the team? I admit the episodes where it was Wally centric was rather interesting to watch,especially the one where he has to save a girl's life while on a time limit and declines the gift of a sword as a souvenir. They should have explored more in season 2 about how he was insecure about his speed being slower than the Flash and Impulse,and the potential for character development was there. Its just a shame the show was cancelled in season 2 so abruptly where the potential for that development is now gone.

Time skip

Is the 2nd Season worth it btw? Several years ago I watched the 1st season and the 1st 3 episodes of S2 but I lost interest in s2. Now I finished rewatch of s1(loved it as before) but apprehensive about continuing the series. Especially the time skip and the new characters.

@@EspeonMistress00 I actually just finished both season 1 and 2 recently lol. I agree that the time skip is a little unwelcoming at first, with so many new characters, certain events they kinda just gloss over, and the obvious changes of the team. But at least for me, it got really interesting as I got to watch more of it. I thinks they did justice (see what i did there) to the most of the new characters while still keeping the old cast interesting. Again, there are a lot of things different about season 2 but imo it's worth it in the end. There are some gripes I have about how it ended but all in all I'd say it's a worthwhile watch. Tbh, I don't know how I feel about season 3, though. I just started watching the first couple of episodes and it just kinda seems boring but I'll give it a chance.

Jayk Shelvandar I get the deeper reasoning for them not initially liking each other but them getting together romantically is based on that idea. It’s them getting together romantically that makes me see it as “if they fight constantly they secretly love each other”, if they didn’t get together but still warmed up to each other after getting over their own problems (and in Wally’s case he opens up to Artemis about his reasons for wanting Roy on the team but he does go onto say Artemis doesn’t have anything to prove). I get what you’re saying I do and I’m not trying to argue or anything just giving my thoughts.

Finally somebody who realizes how unhealthy their relationship started off. Seriously, I hate how much this cliche is romanticized

It’s not exactly a cliche because it happens in real life a lot too believe it or not

@@MrYoungzay I wish it was a cliche but almost every single relationship I have ever been in started off with us fighting because we liked each other (it is also a classic thing that happens with hormonal teenagers who don't know how to handle their emotions). It does happen but when I watched the show I did not see them fighting because they liked each other. It took Artemis a long time to warm up to Wally and vice versa. They fought because they disliked each other and you can gradually see that over time the more they liked each other the less they started fighting about small things and the more they started becoming flirty. I do enjoy the fact this we are having this discussion so long after the release of this show and how we view certain aspects of the show based off of our own personal lives.

@@bushmg1061 fair enough.

You are so right, it would be better for Greg to make up for those five years.

I'm not interested in the résumé and personal history of every single villain anyway, all the villains in the series had a motivation at least for what they were doing at the time, and that's more than enough already. Anything more would have just sidetracked the plot.

@@Kaefer1973 I agree

There is one. It's 3 episodes in

You have to watch it illegally or pay for the DC subscription service

shigraki is best boi but he's still crusty In US it'll only be available on the streaming service but it'll be available on Netflix overseas when the season is finished, take Titans for example, I live in India and it's going to be available to me on Netflix in a few days, the reason Netflix waited so long even though Titans debuted in October is due to Netflix's philosophy on how content should be consumed (binged) . Also the reason why it's available on Netflix overseas but not in the us is because DC's streaming service is only available in the us. I encourage people to buy the service rn so they get encouraged to make more YJ. This comment is unnecessarily long sorrz.

@@shivpuri5769 yeah that I know the feeling.

UniqueNameGuy WAIT WHAT???

season 3 was dope

@lɐɯɹou ɐ Spider nah it was dope

Season 2 was awful and Season 1 was ok but not that good .

Season 3 was shit upon shit upon even dirtier shit

@@underdogtv2855 what?

Can someone give me a summary of what this nigga just said

@@youngkiller3618 Background villains are obstacles for the main crew

if they have a s4

True,I loved season 1,season 2,not so much.

@@NarcoticVibes i liked s2

The original team is still relatively young. Megan ages slower than humans, Connor is 5, and Dick is about the same age as Roy when he was going to join the team.

neither am I a fan of yours

I think the best thing about this show is that it shows off a lot of characters and gives you room to do your research. Also I truly believe you're not missing out on some of them. The majority of them dont have full backstories. Ina world where theres full of villains and heroes, we also didnt get backstories on a lot of heroes. The show was made for DC fans and it's a simple google search to know who they are.

I love kid flash he was the comic relief of the show. He was very funny.

Kid Flash was my favorite.

@@Stefantius So streaming sites have no standards?

There is a game in between seasons 1 and 2. I haven’t played it but it explains a lot of the stuff that happens in that 5 year time frame.

I hate time skips most of the time. I just see it as a lazy way to do character development without actually showing said development

I know what you mean and I agree but I enjoy "but I found his intrest in women creepy" out of context.

@@an8strengthkobold360 I meant the way he shows his interest in women. Not the fact that he is interested in them although I know how that sounded

I personally thought they did robin and aqualad great

Agreed completely. And Justice League Unlimited does this as well and it never gets this kind of flak. And it's not like any of the major villains aren't named. The series pushes the idea that you should do your own research. The series was made for DC fans. In addition I agree with you on kid flash. I personally didnt find it funny but I definitely thought that was him showing off his personality and it stuck. Not every character is a golden egg. But that shouldnt be criticism to the show itself.

@@kevinvu5432 An idea that I think could be worth a future video ( *winkwink* ), even if only to tell me how I'm wrong, is that I legitimately think that the Young Justice-style approach would have been a better way to handle the DCEU. Instead of trying to start from the beginning with Superman while having Batman be near the end of his career, you let the big names (even some general audiences probably wouldn't know) all have established histories... and take advantage of Robin being iconic enough to still be a comforting presence. Even several of the new (to general audiences) faces would have some familiarity because these are the *sidekicks* of heroes that _are_ at least somewhat known to general audiences. The Young Justice formula gives an in-story reason for explaining things general audiences would need to be explained about this hypothetical DCEU. Even the Young Justice pilot might be a plausible starting point for the film's script. Now, what if we restrict ourselves to the films that the DCEU actually used? Let's look at the Suicide Squad. Instead of that paint-by-numbers plot, let us give Amanda Waller more credit. The group isn't there to fight Superman. Instead, it has become clear that *other* nations are weaponizing superhumans and/or taking advantage of what they can do to pursue real-world methods of leverage (like a small nation suddenly becoming a nuclear power). Bialya is presented as a relatively *new* country; at first, no one believed the rumors that "Queen Bee" was manipulating folks with more than just mundane methods. Then the last black ops squad slammed into her metahuman enforcers (C-listers, to save the big names for bigger things). The Suicide Squad is being mobilized because they provide plausible deniability (supervillains being supervillains) but either they take out the enemies metahumans... or get taken out, saving the taxpayer from having to worry about them in the future. Maybe even establish this isn't the group's first rodeo; Captain Boomerang's milking of the Suicide Squad program has always struck me as a great plot-point.

Yes, imho Wally was portrayed at being in denial about Miss Martian's feelings for him. I think that, if she had made it clear that she wasn't interested in him, he would have stopped his flirtations sooner. For proof of that, when he was made aware of Superboy and Miss Martian's relationship, he was initially disapointed, like anyone that had a big crush on someone would have been in this situation, but he still accepted it and didn't act like an asshole, didn't blame Miss Martian or Superboy. And I don't recall Wally ever (or maybe once) taking his flirting too far. I found him to be corny but never vulgar about it. I also don't remember his flirtations being all that frequent, at least not as much as what this vid states.

Me too. I remember wanting another season of Spectacular Spider Man but if it was brought back today they'd shove in Miles, Spider Gwen, Spider Verse, Superior Spider Man, Tony Stark, and teasing Thanos at the end of each season

There is literally no difference between Young Justice and Teen Titans except for the roster.

@@enotsnavdier6867 maybe to someone who hasn't read them

Blame the execs that forced the showrunners to use the title. This show was never meant to be an adaptation of the comics.

@@enotsnavdier6867 Young Justice is comedic.

I saw Young Justice as a successor to Teen Titans 2003.

laz kar nah I loved Batman beyond

DC always tried McGinnis poorly. They don't really know what do with Batman Beyond title.

Lol

I would agree with that! love Avatar to death but I think Young Justice season 1 is a whole lot more mature, a lot more nuanced and more compelling to watch then Avatar season 1.

No way Avatar is way better than young justice both are my top favorite shows for sure tho

Eh... I grew up with both and have to disagree. Though it is great, It wasn't as emotionally impactful as ATLA.

whoa there fella

3rd Season is already out.
