Young Justice follows a band of former sidekicks(Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Miss Martian, Superboy, and Artemis), as they perform covert ops missions for the Justice League. After being cancelled in its second season, massive fan appeal brought Young Justice back for a season 3 in Young Justice Outsiders. But what made Young Justice such a fan favorite? What made it special?

It was a great show until they made aqua lad gay when his ex girlfriend broke up with him than I hated the show because if a girl breaks up with a guy they don’t go gay from it
@@jamesedillor6053 um… aqualad is gay in the comics too
@@cedarxik show me we’re a straight guy goes gay after his girlfriend breaks up with him in reality or in comics if he’s never been gay before that it’s just not a thing
@@jamesedillor6053 dude they made Aqualad bi, tho? Not gay?
Here is a correction to your video title: Sidekicks done wrong
One thing I would like to point out that may or may not be relevant, is that Dick Grayson, more specifically Nightwing, is seriously nerfed in almost every tv show or movie iteration of him, when in the comics he’s WAY more badass. He is canonically the most agile and acrobatic person in the world, the fans voted him as the sexiest male DC character, hell even hisbutt cheeks got individual names (Joe and Juan btw in case you were wondering)! Young Justice is the first show I’ve seen where he’s taken seriously, and is actually allowed to show off his skills. Meanwhile in the DCAU movies he gets beaten fairly easily, and is mostly sidelined for other characters to grab the spotlight. For this, a lot of people seriously underestimate how cool Dick Grayson is
I genuinely do not understand why they always want Nightwing to be beaten by everybody in the DC extended universe. I think the only battle where I was sufficiently impressed with was with the Talons. He even got beaten by energy-blast-reliant Starfire in a martial-art-only fight. Pathetic. He even got beaten by Damien.... despite having a successful comic run as Batman with Damien as his Robin.
Preach, man! I couldn't have said it better! 🔥🔥🔥
@@yiklongtay6029 worst part was how daimen killed him in injustice league hopefully it gets fixed
@@maadtee6281 actually I think that might’ve been an accident or something. I remember seeing something about how Damien went off to do something on his own and Dick tried to stop him. It got physical, Damien pushed him down and Dick hit his head on a rock, killing him. So I’m pretty sure it was less of Dick being nerfed to make Damien seem better, and more of a squabble leading to a tragic accident. Which, in my mind, it makes sense why Damien took up the mantle of Nightwing. Sort of to carry on Dick’s legacy. But idk, I’m pretty fuzzy on the details
@@connormcgrath5800 yeah but it was a bs death poetic yes but bs even daimen knows that
I actually liked that Teen Titans 03 made only small allusions to Batman. It let Robin be his own character, and I enjoyed the Titans themselves. Robin acknowledges Batman as his father, but this is his own path, one with new friends, and family.
that's what i was thinking exactly 👏🏻👏🏻
I've actually been thinking about watching through teen titans lately since I only saw a few episodes as a kid. Aside from Teen Titans, what other DC shows are worth watching?
@@alkimia1791 all of them, but Justice League is a must.
I mean Nightwing is his own character but Robin is Batman's sidekick, Plus 03 Robin was more so Dick + Tim rolled into one.
@@alkimia1791 Justice League(original & unlimited) Batman TAS(best DC show ever & Emmy winning) Batman Beyond, Superman TAS, Static Shock, just the entire DCAU(DC Animated Universe) in whole, including movies. Majority of them are Batman related but great nonetheless. Also, Krypto the Superdog, Constantine & the city of demons, Green Latern TAS.
Oh man, if anything could rival the original Justice League Series, this is it. I was very sceptical getting into this show but it quickly became one of my favourite superhero properties.
Young justice is better. There I said it
If any could rival the original Justice League it would be Justice League Unlimited
Wait don't get me wrong though I love young justice and think it's actually pretty then og justice league but not better then justice league unlimited
@@manwithoutmercy season 3 took that away for me. Not bad per se, but not as good as season 1 or 2 nor anything for jl o jlu
@@k3nnytm season 3 was my favourite 🤷♂️
Wally West has one of the best character arcs
And it sucked to see him go🥲

@@CTE-CDOTRA-GAMING I feel like what they hinted at, they’ll pay it off to end the series
@@VishtheFish101 ya i feel like he should have stayed impulse instead the new kid flash.
Young Justice to me has one of the best written lines when it comes to why Batman has Robins but more specifically why he took in Dick Grayson. It's when Wonder Woman questions Batman's decision to train Robin at such an early age.
Batman: "Robin needed to help bring the men who murdered his family to justice."
WW: "So that he could turn out like you?"
Batman: "So that he wouldn't"
YES!!!! omg this line gets me everytime i rewatch the show. batman delivers the line with such little emotion and then it just changes scenes but it lingers the rest of the season, even through the show in my opinion
Agreed!!!!¡
I just want a Red Hood animated show. He has little representation although that is likely to change. I just hope they don’t turn him into K-Mart punisher because it sucks.
Actually Jason was seen in season 3 with Ra's when Nightwing's team went to investigate who was the new leader of the assassin's.
Check out Titans season 3, red hood is the main antagonist. And wt ever you’ve heard about the show, season 3 has gotten amazing reviews since moving to hbo max
I liked the interactive movie they made recently.
@@cameronross9391 ok but that iteration of Red Hood is bad and not at all in line with the comics character. Literally stripped away all of his good qualities and made him some one note villain controlled by someone else.
It still is one of DC’s best shows. Looking forward to season 4: Phantoms.
Wait there’s a confirmation for season 4?
@@PhantoRoyce yup
idk man season 3 was shit i forced myself to watch it but couldnt finish it
@@hamaadeast8360 yeah it started getting wacked out and treading the same we shouldn't Kee secrets stuff. I just didn't like it as much
@@hamaadeast8360 Season 3 was amazing.
I'm a little miffed they skipped over Jason Todd's Robin and are going straight to Red Hood.
They weren't going to do but due to canncltin they put through in the tie comics, so they had different ideas bescudr of the toy sale's
How many times do you want to watch that thing? Jason Todd is killed by the Joker, he becomes Red Hood, that's it. It's okay to like the character but people PRAISED that choice/twist like it's the best thing that happened to DC.
@@OsSas3 I meant show more of Jason's time as Robin and how he would interact with everyone. He could get killed in between seasons.
@@cliff402ful The thing is: It's not a Batman show. Not even a Robin show, it's about the team. Jason Todd as Robin happens between S1 and S2 chronologically. If they change the whole premise of S2 to fit Jason Todd in there would be pretty irresponsible. Also, let Tim Drake shine, my man get almost no recognition in anything.
@@OsSas3 Tim Drake has had more recognition than Jason Todd in medias.
I wish the time skips between seasons weren't so drastic but other than that, I love it!
Personally my favourite character, let alone superhero in any fictional medium is and will probably always be Spider-Man. That’s why I genuinely feel depressed thinking about how amazing a new Spider-Man animated show would be if the creators actually made an effort like the DC shows and films.
And yea, Roy Harper absolutely STEALS the show in many of the scenes he's in! His story is so tragic. Also you should really check out Superman and Lois, only because you brought up the CW shows
spectacular spider man, has been created by young justice, creator.
If you played the 3DS game it’s story is between season 1 & 2. It show the death their teammates.
@@user-ft4zb9bi3f exactly. greg weisman is very good at making superhero series so down to earth and relatable that’s why they are so good
@@Blastburn isn’t there also a comic in between
I just gave up on CW DC shows after horrible seasons of the Flash and that even worse show Batwoman and the wasted potential of Supergirl so maybe I'll check Sups and Louis out coz I hear good things about it
As someone who loves the DCAU (I'm going through my favorite show as a little kid, B:TAS right now for the first time in years), the DCU as portrayed in Young Justice, minus the lackluster Joker, might actually be favorite adaptation of the DCU outside of the comics themselves. The character development, (most of the) writing, and worldbuilding are all sublime. It really gets the ethos of the DCU at its best and what makes it special.
I think Jokers fine, he just only appears once so he’s not fleshed out at all, Brent Spiner did a great job with a small part
I actually like that they made joker basic af, joker is batman's villain and should barely he shown on young justice
Dick Grayson literally made the Robin role which is why he is the best and my absolutely favorite
In my opinion Season 1 was so good and after Season 1 it got worse. This is because the characters and cast in Season 1 were done so well and got us so invested and after Season 1 they focused more on the plot over characters which I wasn’t a fan of but thats just my opinion
No, I agree. It seriously turned me off because I'm more interested in characters than plot. So I kind of just fell off during Season 2.
@@mmangalisomasinga432 yeah for sure same for me I loved the show cause of the characters and cast and it felt like they just threw that out for the second season
indeed, season 1 had a great cast of characters but in season 2 they focused way too much on the plot and left their characters on the sidelines which made people not care about them that much.
They should have simply stuck with the same team in season 1 for season 2, or make the original season 1 team be the mentors to season 2's team of Wonder girl, Robin, Blue beetle, Impulse, Garth and etc.
@@cynicalducky1041 Yeah I really wanted to see the development of the cast from season 1 and see what they become but they really threw that away and made the main cast way too big
so true. i was really disappointed that we weren't able to see the father-son relationship between clark and conner develop especially with how the first season kept building up to it :(((
This is my favorite DC piece of media. Period.
The well-rounded and instantly likable characters, the phenomenal and emotional voice acting, the kinetic action, the ability to blend old and new ideas from decades of comic history…it’s all here. Watching Young Justice doesn’t just feel like watching a show, it feels like watching an entire universe.
It’s sometimes incredible to believe that it’s only 3 seasons. There are 10+ season shows and entire novel series that don’t feel quite as jam-packed as this show is. It’s everything remarkable about the genre distilled down to a single series, all under the supervision of a brilliant, thoughtful and ever-changing artistic vision.
While, there are things said that I will probably never agree with, I have to say that Sidekick stories are always some of my favorite. Having them being a reflection of their mentors, but different... growing and finding themselves while having some identifiying trait of their mentors. Most become a "better versions" of their mentors... idk, having that adult figure to inspire to be to an extent, struggle, become better... Also having the mentors pound in life altering lessons that, if done right, will change the sidekicks for the better... become even greater heroes than them. Failing and succeeding, but trying... I love it.
Correction: Why Young Justice IS one of DC's Best Shows.
Ehh, out of all the (animated) shows they’ve made I’d say young justice is pretty low, it would be higher for me but personally season 3 was a huge letdown to the point where I barely finished it. Also like 90% of DC’s animated shows are 10 out of 10 so it’s hard to be on top.
@@dinoboilookingforthemnuggi3152 he said IS because its still ongoing. Part one of season 4 is set for 21st of October with part 2 to be out next year.
@@ChordsNetwork ohh thank you for the date!! It comes out the same day as Komi San. Can’t wait to see both. Yes S3 does have a lot of flaws & too many characters. I hope in S4 the characters finally brought in can have more screen time like Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown & Arrowette
No it's definitely "was." Seasons 3 and 4 are garbage. And season 2 is just kind of mediocre.
First 2 are Great
3 is hit or miss
4 is meh
As a kid, Young Justice was my favourite show. These 'kids' were characters I could relate to and who I only dreamed of becoming.
This show will always be a classic
Season 4 coming soon

Facts
Teen Titans doesn’t NEED or NEEDED to be a series with Batman. That’s one reason I love it. To not be forcefully fed Batman down my throat feels pretty good and brought life to DC. Teen Titans showed that there was so much more than Batman and Superman to people.
This show was more than just a show for me. Whilst watching it, I kept fantasizing about being part of the team. I wanted to fight crime with them so badly. It took days for me to snap back to reality and realize that that would never happen, and it broke me a little. I have never felt such a strong connection to any show or any characters before. Young Justice truly is amazing. Though I didn’t like the time jumps.
I really appreciate how many characters they introduce into the show, even if they don’t all get the amount of screen time they deserve
I am literally watching this show rn. I'm on episode 9 of season 2 and I'm so damn excited. Season 1 was the best and at first I was skeptical of season 2 since it's set 5 years after season 1. But it's great. I have a good feeling I'll be enjoying this.
Whatever you do. Do NOT go online looking for anything young justice related. Major spoilers if you do. This is my personal all time fave DC property. Makes sense and is clean as hell. Animation in fire 🔥
@@sirhandsome5107 facts bro
there's a time skip after every season. And i dont think you should watch this video until you finish S2.

Invicible in one season has surpassed this in my opinion. Truly cant wait for more from image comics.
Young Justice holds its ground on par with Justice League the animated series
What about btas
@@maadtee6281 that show is amazing as well. One of my favorites. But I can't deny Justice league especially Unlimited seasons surpass it. And Young Justice is just as good.
5:50 The villains manufactured the idea that created the Team. They created their own downfall. I love that 😆
9:22 I think it’s funny how in S1 and S2 of YJ Barry’s flash is in Wally’s Flash outfit. Wally usually has the white eyes and the 3 dashes for the lightning logo and Barry has his actual eyes and 5 dashes for the lightning logo
ok virgin
@@megazlatan10 wat
3:14 also in the episode about the Teen Titans assembling, a crook says “I thought you were working for ( or his sidekick to )” then Robin cuts him off and says, “I work alone”
I loved YJ and had a blast watching it. It was focused on the characters, the sidekicks that are usually put aside, and it was amazing. The villains felt kinda weak (most of them being one dimensional obstacles for the heroes to overcome) and I didn't love the whole huge villain team up idea. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I think the Timmverse had better villains and stronger plots. However, YJ still stands as a great show, maybe even the best when it comes to a sidekick show.
Yo child is a good protagonist tho
Not exactly DC, but Invincible is also really good. And if it adapts the comic well, it will no doubt be one of the greatest animated series of all time. Do a video on it! YJ, Spectacular Spider-Man, & Invincible are my favorites!
Invincible the animated series will be goated as long as Kirkman stays on it since he created and wrote the comic series.
The show is spending way to much time on his love life and those scenes are so fucking boring. The comics were way better in my opinion
@@REXAURDAAPEKING Amber definitely plays a larger role in the show and is more annoying too but most people can agree the show hooks in viewers more than the comic did for its readers. Like moving up Omni-Man killing the guardians to the first episode was an immediate hook while the it took like seven issues in the comics
"To be robin is to be significant for being insignificant" well spoken !
Young Justice is my favorite animated show. This show is basically “come for the superhero action, stay for the top tier characters and dialogue”. Seriously, I don’t know how but YJ has some of the best dialogue I’ve ever seen in a fictional property. There’s so much attention to detail and authenticity it’s nuts.
You’ll have a character like Impulse come from the future and thus has his own set of slang like “Feel the Mode” or “Crash”, and over time that slang will be adopted into the whole group and by the time you’re in season 3 basically the entire cast of young heroes are just casually saying those things because it’s been naturally assimilated into their vernacular. Same thing with Robin how he would dissect words like arguing that people are always “overwhelmed” but why isn’t anybody ever just “whelmed”. And whaddya know, the characters start saying stuff like “I’m feeling pretty whelmed right now”. Or how Miss Martian can create a telepathic link so that those connected can speak freely but privately psychically even at a distance, and so overtime it becomes so natural that they’ll have “group chats” in front of the main heroes which even gets called out. And later down the line in season 3 M’egan and Connor just naturally speak psychically in their house because of course if you live with a psychic and you can just speak through your mind without needing to talk that would just become your primary means of communication. There’s just so much depth and nuance to the dialogue in this show it’s insane.
And that’s just talking about how good the writing is in a dialogue basis, it holds this quality to ALL of the writing.
Like in season 1 they have an episode where the characters are in a psychic simulation by Miss Martian to train for a no-win scenario against an unbeatable alien invasion that immediately kills the Justice League, but early on when one of the team’s members die it causes a mental shock that then makes them all forget they are in a simulation and locks them in, so they go through this world ending event where all the heroes are dead and they each die one by one genuinely believing it’s all real.
At the end they get out, but you know how normally “simulation episodes” are just one and done things that are forgotten by the next episode in most media? Yeah, no. These were kids, teenagers, who went through the trauma of genuinely believing the world was ending, their mentors died, their friends died, and even they themselves died. So the entire next episode is dedicated to them going through therapy with Black Canary, each having a distinct way of processing their experience. Robin learns he doesn’t have that drive batman does to complete the mission at any cost (planting the seeds of what Dick Grayson eventually does in any DC content where he diverges from Batman and forges his own identity later as Nightwing). M’egan deals with the guilt of causing so much trauma for her friends. Aqualad feels he failed in his duty as leader during the crisis but also is faced with the realization it’s his burden to bear because nobody else on the team is capable of handling that position yet. Wally is just in total denial and masks his feelings with attitude. And Superboy, holy shit is Superboy’s thing so amazing. Basically Connor is especially angry and standoffish throughout the episode, and towards the end he’s had enough time to process his thoughts so he comes to Black Canary and confesses that for his short life he’s always looked up and idealized Superman (being his clone and all). So when Superman was gone, Connor got to fill that role and feel what it was like to be Superman for once, and it made him happy. The world ending, his friends dying, and he couldn’t help but feel happy that for once he could feel what it was like to be THE Superman and fill the role he was literally made to fill. And the shame of that was eating him to the core, he doesn’t know how to live with that. And Black Canary doesn’t just give him a magic way of fixing the problem, she acknowledges straight up there’s no easy answer to that and that admitting this to himself is a first step but only a step. Like holy shit right? That’s like the most interesting “dealing with trauma” thing I’ve ever seen in a superhero media, and it’s based in a simulation episode for gods sake.
I just cannot gush enough about how absurdly good the writing in this show is. And it’s even more amazing knowing this is coming from, of all things, a “kids” (quotes cause it’s the same way The Clone Wars is only technically a kids show) superhero sidekick cartoon. When they revealed season 3 was coming I deadass almost cried because, much like when TCW was revealed to be coming back at the SAME event (you can imagine it was a hype af day for me) nobody thought it would actually happen.
And even though every season has its issues, they all still retain very strong writing, and Season 4 is shaping up to do the same. Young Justice is a show perfect for both people with little not much depth of familiarity with the DC universe and want to be introduced to its vast stories and characters without needing to watch other media, and for people who do have strong familiar with the DC universe and want to see the characters collectively explored in more depth than they ever have been before.
I love the enthusiasm you had while writing this, I could physically feel the giddiness and admiration through the screen. There wasn’t a single thing I couldn’t disagree upon as well, perfectly summarised! Especially the points of the writing; YJ is hands down one my favourite series ever!
When raven goes into robins head when he fights in his head slade, you see robin being sworn in with bruces shadow. So 2 that batman is shown in teen titans
3. When Robin tried to steal for Slade and is intercepted by the Titans, they fight on the roof of Wayne Enterprises
Can't wait for the next season
WW: So he could become like you?!
BM: So he wouldn't.
I absolutely love season 1 and 2 of Young Justice but they really messed up season 3 ;-; it was so un-cohesive, the characters weren't written very well and they tried to cram way too many characters so there isn't enough time to properly flesh them out :/
Just finished season four, phantoms, and what a masterpiece of a season. Emotional, important, and satisfying all in one.
Due to legal reasons and restrictions, teen Titans could connect to the justice league animated show or justice league unlimited. Since the justice league animated show had the right or using Batman in their show was the reason they didn’t do anything with any mention of justice league or Batman. Hence why we have kid flash of Wally west in the Titans but the flash Wally west in justice league
This is the best Young Justice take I have ever seen! Well done my guy, well done.
Let's also give YJ props for a Judas Contract route where things actually go well for Terra
Teen Titans was about behind a hero despite being teens. They showed they could stand on their own and that they could not only form their own league, but that they could thrive on a scale the Justice league had forgotten. They had their niche, helping people. Not just stopping world ending catastrophes, but finding disenfranchised individuals and unifying them in ways that teens truly need. They ended isolation, and were truly human, something the JL really can't say. Young Justice was about sidekicks. They are the YOUNG justice. Teen is just the age group, but here we are reminded constantly that they exist in a shadow, and that was played into. It was absolutely deliberate that the Teen Titans never interacted with "major" heroes, it would have disrupted the dynamic of them being recognized as full heroes, and that was something they could never do. The only reason that I believe they even made the single batman reference was because of the specific situation, designed to call into question Robin's allegiances and values. Questioning inherently, "is Robin a hero?". But its hardly even a question, of course he is, he is the moral stoicism of batman as well as his own hero
The 1sentence pitch for young justice is.
The justice league have a covert black ops unit filled with gifted kids and side kicks.
I love this take, YJ is a great show and has some great representation of the sidekicks and how they grow and mature.
Without knowing, you said everything I’ve ever felt about YJ. It was such a pivotal show for me growing up, and even to this day I still admire the sidekicks more than their original heroes. These kinds of shows that have strong positive messages, good writing and amazing characters will always leave a lasting impact on those that watch them.
Young Justice reminded me of DCAU and Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes as a cartoon that loves its source material while doing something new with it
BROO YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT AVENGERS : EARTHS MIGHTIEST HEROES !!! THAT SHOW WAS HEAT WHEN I WAS A YOUNG
The show started off great but season 3 destroyed the show for me. I didn't know what was going on half the time, there were way too many new characters introduced that I could care less about. Everybody from the original team is now either an asshole or getting betrayed by everybody around them and Wally West had become nothing more than an emotional device to make me keep coming back. (dog sleeping with Wally West doll as end credits, Best Boy and Robin hallucinating him, Zatanna creates fake Wally to make Artemis move on etc)
And now I'm hearing that season 4 would focus on that jumbled mess that was the Motherbox storyline. I'm sorry but this is where I get off the train for this show. I will always cherish seasons 1 & 2 but other than that, I'm done.
I agree I hated season 3. For those reasons and also getting rid of the old animation style for the generic new 52 one. I didn’t even attempt to watch season 4 that’s how much 3 ruined the show for me.
@@Cool_Alex05 I hated season 3 but season 4 is actually rlly good and there are different stories every 3 episodes until episode 13
i agree so much. i absolutely LOVED season 1, nothing will ever beat it. i originally didn't ever watch most of season 2, I only skipped to when artemis/tigress came in with kaldur and Megan, but rewatching it, it was actually better than I remembered. Season 3 was a mess for me, I actually gave up watching it the first time (and never could really rewatch it cause I couldn't;t get HBO thingy and I didn't wanna get a virus off an online website) season 4 seems ok? i like how they double down on the og characters.
this being said season 1 is my ultimate winner, season 2 ok, and 3&4 eh
For the sidekick thing in teen titans I know beastboy wasn't exactly a side kick but his role on the doom patrol was him listening to the others and being the rookie
I only liked the show’s season 1-2 after Wally died it wasn’t the same for me
One if not The best DC project they've ever produced hands down. Love it
The old animated Justice league series. The 2000s teen titans. And the young justice series are goated
This and teen Titans are the ones I love the most I grew up with these and I’m so grateful that I did such a blessing
My eyes were blinded by how sunny Gotham City was. How was this even possible?
Kato please more Young Justice content. I'm begging you.
A shame season 3 fell off a cliff. I can barely remember what it was about or who was involved, which is pretty damning considering it was pretty recent compared to the first 2 seasons. I suppose it goes to show that it's very hard to get interested in a bunch of sidekicks to a bunch of sidekicks, especially when the new sidekicks are played as main characters when they have not earned that role yet.
I'm about halfway through it right now but it's so irritating how they've sidelined most of the team in favor of new characters that really aren't all that likeable and get extremely annoying.
Halo is the most boring character
I disagree. S3 feels like a natural progression for the main characters from S1 and S2; new characters are great and I don't feel like they take away from the old main characters' roles.
The only big problem is that the overarching plot is kinda all over the place. But if the characters are enjoyable enough, this isn't a big issue. It's all personal preference when it comes to this though.
Season 3 sucks a lot. Low budget and scattered plot. Hard to get invested when the main characters kept switching every 4 episodes. Also did that one character need to kept getting owned to show off her powers? It turned her to a joke.
Ive watched the first two seasons multiple times. They were soooo good. Honestly one of my fav animated anythings ever
This video was amazing … the analysis of important moments were incredible.
This one video earned you my subscription.
Excellent conclusions and deductions.
Damn fine job!!!👍👍
You didn't mention this in your video, but I always found it interesting how the new characters in season 3 (Geo-Force, Halo, Forager, and Cyborg) are "outsiders" to the sidekicks theme. You could argue Artemis served as a mentor to Halo (and Terra) and Geo-Force had a close connection to Superboy, but they otherwise break away from that. Even the new members of the Team (Spoiler, Thirteen, Arrowette, etc.) still followed it, but not those first four.
Great video! Robins my favorite super hero, and it’s so nice to hear somebody explain their thoughts on him as well, you just gained a fan!
That robin mini monologue is one of my favourite animated character speeches ever
I’ve loved Robin, especially one from Lego Batman (the videogames). He wants the recognition like Batman but never gets it, and I can relate to that.
I got into Dc about a year ago and I love your content your earned my sub
I love young justice all through my childhood and now i've seen all of the seasons atleast 15 times and this is an awesome video :)
"Whelmed" is a new word in my vocabulary
Oh my god that last part made me crack up hahahaha good video!

@@arygasca9444 Thanks! I haven't been keeping up with news on it! 😁
One of my favorite animated shows ever! The first season was amazing literally one of the best seasons but the second season kind of disappointed me just because there wasn't any background information about the characters and they changed the whole crew you couldn't really bond with the characters the way you did in season 1. Otherwise season 2 was really surprising the ending and all literally the first ever animated series that made me cry they gave me so much emotions and the way that i "fell in love" with the characters and their relationship is unbelievable! And the third season is just amazing not quite amazing as the first one but it just gives you a lots of interesting things about the characters and they are just back at focusing on them!.. i rewatched the first season for about 100times i know it by heart. And it us still the BEST DC SHOW EVER and it will be unless something changed but i guess it won't.
#waitingforseason4 #dickgrayson #artemis #wally #redarrow CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 4!!
Literally my favourite show till date. Although Season 1 is my favourite.I don't know if it's because I have certain nostalgic childhood attachments to it or cuz s1 was really just the best season.
S1 is really just the best season imo. The best thing about the next seasons is finishing Artemis' arc imo
So happy this was done young justice isn’t talked about enough
Wow you're opening!! Had me!
Ive never heard someone else say "Robin is my favorite, not a specific Robin. Just what Robins represent" (basically, dont know why I quoted that when it wasnt actually said.)
But im the exact same way!
I know that it doesn't really have anything to do with the content in the video but when you said maybe Tim was your favorite I was like yes!!! Finally! He is so underrated and overlooked anytime I hear something about him I'm so happy
Greg Weisman should start doing live action projects just like Dave Filoni
This show clicked with me in a very special way and it has a very special place in my heart. I watched it while having breakfast, and lunch and in the afternoon with some coffe, I watched it every chance I got. This was in the second half of 2020 probably and I was 25 or 26. Sure I love superheroes and comics and all but it'd been a long time since I'd watched this kind of show. It just took me back to simpler days but at the same time had a bunch of new stuff for me. There's a coming-of-age element, and the type of humor, there's an overarching story but also situations that are solved within a single episode or two. I really cared about the characters. I really looked forward to the next break at work or whatever. Good days
Wonderful essay, thank you!
The CW shows definitely were tampered in the same way Teen Titans was.
I’ve got my pal to start watching young justice, getting him to wait a week at least before he watches season three so he can semi suffer like I did 😂😂
For me, the 1st and 2nd seasons were the best, I didn't like the 3rd so much
Same, as soon as aqualad kissed a dude i just turned off the tv
I was already getting bored but at that point i was just done
@@spacegamer267 homie he's canonically gay in the comics. I didn't like season 3 but not for those reasons
@@spacegamer267 So insecure you can't watch an animated character kiss another animated character. Sad bro.
@@spacegamer267 zzzzzz
@@spacegamer267 nigga you just homophobic thats just you
I just finished watching it like a week ago and it was one of the best cartoons I’ve ever watched
In Teen Titans Robin is the only sidekick so it wouldn’t really work anyway
It also takes place in the period of Dick's life where he's distancing himself from Batman to become his own hero, so it makes sense that there wouldn't be much mention of Batman
Sadly, you're right about the JL references being a rights issue. It was because I think a debate with Warner bros, the running of separate shows while Teen titans aired etc. It blocked off what could have made an amazing show, Ultimate.
Thank you for talking about this show
Only weak parts of the show was how Incompetent the Justice League is in this show
And greatest part is how all green lantern hate guy mostly because of his singing
well said! i grew up with the classic DC animated shows (JLU, Teen Titans, B:TAS, etc) and Robin is my favorite character of all time. i love YJ (at least s1-s2) the most for really exploring the struggles of being a sidekick to legends while also being young adults discovering their own identities.
I enjoyed that series. The quality of stories suffered a bit in the last season but cancelling the series was a sad decision. This was one of the only good quality, non very young audience oriented series. Have series like Teen Titan Go still "going" and not Young Justice, shows how bad the choices available today are.
Season 4 comes out in October
@@petros-yn6mh Thanks. I hope it will have enough viewers so the cancelation decision I read about will be revised.
I'm glad at that at least now streaming services allow a lot more freedom for animated shows to be a bit more mature, cause the current television landscape on that front is awful. It's one thing to make a show targeted towards kids, it's another to treat your audience like children, and Cartoon Network loves to treat its audience like children. Nothing shows that better than the fact that Teen Titans Go has more than twice as many episodes as Teen Titans and Young Justice combined
It never occurred to me that the light was responsible for creating the team
I originally thought the show was gonna be cheesy from the first 2 eps... but I stuck with it and, omg did this show surprise the hell outta me. It had such a truly layered and grave story, where almost every episode contributed to the overall narrative in a deeply meaningful way.
young justice is still one of my favorite shows to this day. i didn’t really enjoy dc at the time i had started watching it but i really fell in love with the characters and plot. it’s such a well done show !!!
Man watching it weekly waiting for every Saturday when it dropped. This show is Gold.
this is my favourrite show of all time, that first season has shaped my whole life and personality and interests
I remember watching this cartoon for the first time when I was 11 and knowing right there that I had stumbled in something great and unique.
Been watching Young Justice since the premier in 2011, love this show!!
One of the best animated shows of all time
Yeah I mean, when the show keeps having twists, regularly, constantly, I couldn’t help but be desensitized to them as the show progressed. I also got tired of how much the characters disagreed with one another, how many compromises were made, how bleak the show was.
To Quote Batman: Year One artist David Mazzucchelli, “The more realistic you make superheroes, the less believable they are.”
Amazing video enjoyed why I loved young justice
My first superhero media was teen Titans so for years I didn’t know Robin was a side kick to Batman
My favourite type of superhero story is one were they were teens(MHA is my favourite show period)
because
1.teens always make more severe mistakes
2.Im a teen so I can directly relate
3.The stakes in fights are always higher.My favourite fight in young justice is the brief moment of super boy and robinn fighting a mind controled batman and superman.Because something about children fighting adults is terrifying to me.Also why I love the deku vs muscular fight in MHA
stoppp this has been my favourite show since it came out. i hope it gets more recognition
