when you've hurt everyone 

One aspect I really liked when it came to Miss Martian's growth was how her sibling relationship played out. When her younger brother called her out for abandoning him on Mars so she could flee to Earth, her defense was that she was just a kid. Later, during her argument with her older sister not defending them, she in turn replied that she was just a kid, too.

I just need one more season of Young Justice. It hasn’t been officially cancelled. It just hasn’t been renewed.

My only issue with M'gann's character arc throughout the series is that, while I buy that she changed as a person and recognized her mistakes, there was never any amount of consequence towards her actions in season 2. Lobotomizing people and erasing a partner's memory are tremendous crimes, yet there's never any serious consequences for her. Geo-Force lost his friends over his action and was branded a villain. Roy Harper was humiliated and kicked out the Team despite saving them. Yet M'gann gets to keep her good standing with her friends and colleagues? She gets to keep her boyfriend and even marries him?

As a brown man I laughed my ass off when I heard “you’re white” “OH NO!”

"He did not simply learn tolerance--that is insuffecient. He learned acceptance, empathy." That's a huge thing when it comes to preaching about co-existing with other people, cultures, races, and creeds. People always say you need to learn tolerance, but tolerance simply means you "put up" with others. There will always be an undercurrent of misunderstanding and prejudice. What we don't teach enough of is empathy, the ability to see the world as others do. Not only does this help us with accepting those who are different than us, it also helps us understand why those who can't accept others think the way they do. I'm really glad that this was direction they took the Martians' storyline.

Megan's journey is... incredible. I think that her and Connor have the most "visible" maturing from all of the team, mostly because how unique their respective circumstance are. Megan isnt exactly young by human standards, sure she is young by martian standards but the years she lived on mars, the trauma and escapism... they did a number on her. Second season was when we truly saw they true M'gann, and it wasn't a pretty sight, she retreated in "pragmatism" and bitterness, trying to rationalize her actions as necessary, knowing how much she was hurting those close to her. To then understand herself, accepting that she may never be forgiven for her wrongs but to keep going and being a better person, being a beacon of possibility and hope. And Connor... GOD, i think it is offensive from my part to try to resume his journey, from that angry and lost state fearing not having the right to be alive, to becoming a teacher, a guide, a partner, a hero, and with hope... a father, he will be an incredible father. Connor is amazing, M'gann is amazing, this show is AMAZING.

I’m so happy that Implicitly Pretentious had made so many videos about Young Justice because there’s a weird lack of love for this show on RU-vid. M’gann especially gets a lot of hate, so this was especially refreshing because she might be my favorite character on the show in terms of depth and intrigue.

My major issue with M'gann is how weirdly unimpactful her s2 actions were in s3 and beyond. I'm not saying she needed to go to jail, but it was odd to me that Conner was the only one who seemed to have taken issue with her brain blasting long term, and the s3 section where Kaldur tells her to brain blast everyone felt tacked on. I do love her arc of growing and healing, just felt weirdly resetting of status quo for her in general later.

She was a serious villain in season 2. Not sure I ever got over how evil she was

"Just don't be a jerk, dude." Words to live by.

“How could you think I wouldn’t recognize your touch inside my mind” ………. Jesus owwwww the damage

Wow, just the intro alone has convinced me to watch young justice..ive heard its a good show but i didnt realize it got heavy or serious. Great video once again! I always enjoy seeing the notifications from this channel!

Despite “Outsiders” and “Phantoms” being more controversial than the original 2 seasons, they did a fantastic job of fleshing out the events of those 2 seasons, especially characters like M’gann & Conner.

How ironic is it that for a species that visualizes and communicates mentally, they are still separated by sight.

Young Justice was an incredible show. Thank you for your hard work!

Videos like this reinforce why I like Young Justice as much as i do. Great character, great writing, great messages I wish I had gotten into this show long before I did but nevertheless im glad i discovered it period

A great retrospective look at Miss Martian throughout her character arc in young justice. I definitely enjoyed this version of Miss Martian and I hope that we get to see more from this version in another season of young justice.

M’gann in S2 reminds me a lot of the “Evil Willow” arc in Buffy: the (attempted) erasure of their partner’s memories, the increased reliance and recklessness of their power, increased violence towards enemies. It’s not a perfect one to one comparison, but I just thought the similarities were an interesting parallel

It's weird that you say you dislike Miss Martian's brother when he himself was abandoned by both his sisters, neglected by his parents, and shunned by his society. Sure, his actions aren't the best but he's actively fighting for the white Martians by any means necessary. His end goal in season four (aside from making the Martians fight one another) was to earn a home planet for the white Martians so they could live in peace away from the bigoted society. Megan never once tries to understand his point of view and demonizes him just because he wants freedom for his people.

Props to the voice actors, the way M'gann sounds sensitive, regretful, angry, and sincere. Shes a very complicated character, but her performance also beings a lot of those feelings to the surface. Similar with Conner, they way they play off each other tears me apart, but its amazing to think that there is a "happy end" to it all.

You don't have to have it all together to help people. Is a great message that Young Justice touches on again and again. And in doing so, you also help yourself

Honestly I like her as a character but I love and enjoy that the show had the time to not only call out her actions but slowly and surely mature her and give her a redemption over time.

Connor never deserved to deal with her crap. He has barely lived his life.

Honestly i think she was a great character and honestly she was brought into other universes like the Arrowverse. I like her dynamic with Connor and how at times she could be the heart of the group, but also a darkness under the surface. I hope we get one more season of Young Justice.

I *never* forgave Megan for what she did to Conner . Heck, when I was starting too, she used her powers to deceive Artemis into thinking she was talking to her dead boyfriend. She is definitely the kind of person who would lie in you face, then say she did it "for you own good" when you find out. Miss Martian is worst girl.

Me being 44 year old man literaly crying because this show, the range of emotion is a roller coaster. Growing up.with the DCAU has been one.of the best things in my life. Even when the series has been over i get to get on YT and listen to people who truely appreciate it for what it was and what it is. ❤

We need a season 5 of this show its better than anything DC is currently producing in live action .

Wow, i never believed so much people hated her before read the comment section. Like around 5 years passed until season 4 and people are still mad for the acts of an immature girl that matured This series shows that no one is perfect and season 1 already proved that with maestry. We are in a never ending jorney of being better persons

Sometimes when you get hurt, you look for an excuse to harm someone else. Thus the cycle continues.

Superboy was the best character

Ngl, I wouldn't have ever been willing to forgive M'gann if she tried to f*ck with my head like she did to Connor. There are only a couple of things I can think of that could be more violating and none that scare me more.

Literally the best on screen superhero relationship since Peter and MJ in the OG trilogy.

Thank you for your art, it helps more people in more ways than you probably realize, please never become outwardly pretentious and honestly; thank you.

She broke lagoon boy so bad he went third wheeling.

Desaad!?!?! Even Desaad thinks racism is dumb! Do you understand the type of person Desaad is!?!?! He's a high lieutenant to Darkseid! ::sighs:: nevermind ::steps back into the shadows:: Justice from the shadows....

M’gann is my favorite character and her story arc is my favorite of all the characters arcs. I love psychic powers and it even inspired my power system in my personal work

Shit this is going to be a hit close to home episode.

I just realized how terrifying a part kryptonian part martian would be

One of my favorite parts of the show. Literally cemented her character in my mind and made her one of my favorites in fiction

The title and the picture. My first words. Oh s^$t I own this series on dvd, and it still goes hard. Great topic too

Back when young justice had excellent writing and animation.... thanks for reminding my heart of what it experienced in my younger years.

so beautiful!

Man, I love your channel. You make contributive art and better people’s lives, and I hope you know that.

Thanks for your work man, this channel is my favorite as of late

Usually, the hurt we inflict on each other is reflected in ourselves.

Huh turns out the show has more than two seasons the more you know

1st vid of yours that popped up in my recommended loved it

I so happy that you doing a video on Young Justice. This is my favorite show growing up, and still is one of favorite

I've dated a few Miss Martians in my life

Things we do as teenagers can sometimes be emotionally charged, petulant, even cruel. What is important is not to judge ourselves as monsters into adulthood, but to learn from those experiences to become more rounded, responsible adults. Youth is the time where we can make mistakes and still have time to heal from them. Even if you've done something deeply wrong, you still have time to pull yourself back and become a better adult. That's what I took away from M'gann's story arc, anyways.

This made me cry, I relate woth her a lot. Beautiful video. Youre my new favorite youtuber, you shed so much light on thes3 characters

I love the little AMVs you put in your edits- as a 2000s RU-vid kid, they're much, much appreciated

Dude!! THANK YOUU!! I was wondering why nobody was talking about Magaan, seriously.

masterful video essay, well done. m'gann will always be my favourite character in this amazing show. looking forward to more discussion about connor and their relationship.

This show so fire all 4 seasons

saved to my watch later. See you when I get to it

young justice is a masterpiece

She does all that and just gets to rejoin the team and fucking marries Connor? Wow, talk about punishment.

i know im late here but i love miss martian as an allegory. idk how intentional it is, but being ashamed of yourself and trying to "pass" as something else is a story lots of people can relate to, be that hiding being queer or natural hair

saw this in my home page and instatly said "YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS"

10:30 You mean to tell me that she's *the middle child* 😢 Truly one of our saddest childhood crushes

Mystery Song: M4 Part 2 by Faunts (Mass Effect Credit music)

We need a superboy video, that’s all

1:01 damn that line is good imnsaving that

You're just pumping out the grade A videos.🎉

WOOO YOUNG JUSTICE (AND DEMOGORGON IS BACK IN DBD)

4:12 out of context that is hilarious XD

it would be awesome to see one for superboy whenever u get around to it

a great examination of the character. I just don’t think I’ll ever like her again after season 2.

Well, with that Fatal Five movie in the DCAU continuity, we have a Miss Martian. She's probably a red Martian from Saturn, though.

good video they made the characters recently get together in the comics the little story that confirmed they were in a relationship was bad but its canon to the comics now

She looks better green and with hair.

Miss Martian vs Psimon foreshadowed her fall. The problem is the dang timeskip/did you read the comics you probably didn't read about. Hade they produced a season 2 with the original team, we would have see Megan's gradual descent.

I dropped the show because of her. She made me unreasonably mad.

Megan is a amazing character. They merge Omen in her. Ps: I hope Young Justice return.

Such a good video. Implicitly pretentious is the #1 young justice youtuber. #saveyoungjustice #youngjustice

a double dose!

How did I miss this one?

Another amazing video man! I was wondering if you could give me the song that plays in the beginning of the conclusion part of the video

We need a KF episode😭

My point guys, is this: the "dignified position" if you know *anything at all* about anything of this kind of situation; you know that to be in power, especially in the Eastern Bloc, or its "eternal equivalent" as it were, really is a death-sentence, it is a LOT like being a manager inside the USSR under "Comrade" Stalin; and if you don't know the deadly danger *that* means: buddy: you better RUN and find out from studying history, especially the "Stalin Purges" real fast! It is the *furthest* thing from safe! In that kind of situation; you want to be a commoner, as destitute as it would be, you're far better off far from power than you'd be close to it: that kind of exposure to it will KILL you, literally; so would her head foe in that kind of a mix of universes.

Lovely. This is close to the appeal of the 60's Marvel comics I grew up with. Self-doubt and self-esteem. Then I'd buy a DC comic and watch Superman smash things.

Does anyone know which song is playing during the "Two wrongs don't make a right (obligatory music tribute)" section of this video? 11:57

It’s quite true high self esteem leads to high ego. Not saying you need low self esteem but you shouldn’t feel more about yourself than is necessary. Too much or too little self esteem is bad. Best to stay in the sweet spot in the middle. If anything maybe slightly low. The current two generations of egotistical narcissists raised on high self esteem are all the proof you need!

MORE YJ PLEASE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice

This was fun. However, in the interest of encouraging you to branch out from comics-related media, I suggest you check out the class series Reboot from the 1990s and early 2000s; I think you might be surprised by the characters, and it would allow you to take a look at themes that you were probably considering but didn't have the right material to use. That said, I recommend avoiding the mass of tropes that comprised Netflix's Guardian Code; it was an insult to the original series at best. Also, I think you might have fun trying to spot and catch all of the little references to other series, and like, some of them are a bit more subtle than others. The series pulls from a lot of different places, but still manages to do its own thing. And if you know where to look, the series has managed to not only establish its own lore but also have some episodes, especially in the latter half of the series, that not only build on this lore but also build off of it a comments for those episodes. And you might also spot some interesting parallels to some characters you've grown to get a better understanding of over the course of this channel. Also, Reboot is a classic series that a lot of people that spent time watching really do want to see get a continuation or sequel done right; as mentioned prior, Reboot: Guardian Code was not this, almost none what it had going on was Reboot, and what little it did have that was ironically Reboot was incredibly poorly managed to the point that fans of the original Reboot felt like they were being insulted and disrespected along with the source material. And before that trainwreck that was basically nothing more than a collection of tropes slapped together in the laziest ways possible was even announced, there was a rumor going around the internet a few years after the series finale, which was a cliffhanger ending, that there was a movie, or series of movies, that would officially cap off the series; I think you can still find the teaser trailer for the Reboot movie on RU-vid somewhere.

Young Justice better come back with a better budget.

Young Justice is possibly some of the best that DCU has to offer This was a rich arch in the mechanics of racism and the self This channel is putting out some good stuff

Would Miss Martian be a possible Sinestro corps memeber if given a lantern ring?

are we also going to have an episode on beast boy depression? 👀

Hello, Megan!

Oh god, you can't start the video on that scene !! 😩😩

My nostalgia spheres are leaking

can you upload the 'two wrongs don't make a right' into Implicitly Encore?

Man I want to watch your video… but I lost touch with this show after the first season and need to catch back up.

The last season of YJ was so baaaaaaad

what is the song at the 13:00 mark? I can't make out the background lyrics

Today's the day...
