>NOOOOOO I've been deceived by everyone in the entire show because I'm a retard and I killed a child!
>We're sorry :'( we'll let you become the leader of the Justice League out of pity
Who asked for this? There were 30+ characters in the Team/YJ's Outsiders that were terribly underutilized. Why give Thirty-something Black Lightning an Arc in S3 that doesn't even carry through to S4

>>149718115 (OP)
Because he's black anon.

>>149718115 (OP)
YJ should have just been allowed to linger on a cliff hanger. We all know Weisman can't maintain momentum before crashing and burning. Whatever the fans could have come up with would have been better than what we got.

I still refuse to believe there was enough of a fanbase to bring it back

>>149718136
He's a grown man, man.

He at least should be mature.

>>149718168
There wasnt but a bunch of outcry/tumblr fangirls was enough for 2 seasons of POTENTIAL SHOW

>NUMEROUS SUBPLOTS NO PAY OFF
>HERES ANOTHER REFERENCE TO SOMETHING THE FANS LIKE!
>WE ARE OFF THAT SHIT HOLE CARTOON NETWORK AND CAN HAVE BLOOD! (kills the immortal character every episode)
>BATWANK!!!

>>149718115 (OP)
Every Season of Young Justice after the first one does this. They introduce a bunch of new characters to focus the story around and then by the next season they just become side characters

>>149718245
>Gay fish

>>149718115 (OP)
It was around the time that WB tried to push Black Lightning. Can't see another reason. He has no connection to Teen Titans.

>>149718115 (OP)
i liked him more than the batman crew who spent the whole season learning the exact same listen they learned last season and will learn next season

>>149718115 (OP)
y do you give a shit who's the chairman JL in the YJ/Outsider show
also
>why did the Outsider character became the leader in the show named Outsiders

>>149719161
He was the leader of the Justice League. He had like 0 connection to the Outsiders in the show. And the problem is his story Arc being shit

This revival was truly some of the lamest shit ever

>>149718115 (OP)
Young Justice would have been much better had it stayed focused on the original team members as they continued to grow up instead of time-skipping and introducing a bajillion new characters every season

>>149718168
The show was very popular

Young Justice taught me an important lesson that a show with good setup getting canceled doesn't mean I missed a good payoff

>>149721746
but anon, how else are we gonna break up a bunch of characters and then spend the season revealing info all the characters already know?

>>149721746
Are there any similar shows worth watching with what you're describing?

>>149721746
The drawback of that is that the plot would've been even slower. We probably wouldn't have even known what the missing Leaguers were doing in those 16 hours. The scope of the whole Light/Apokolips story line was massive.

>and introducing a bajillion new characters every season

Only a handful of those characters are relevant depending on the seasonal arc. The rest are window dressing, not unlike JLU or Avengers: EMH doing the same thing.

>>149724915
SO what would have been the perfect balance?

>>149724439
God I was rewatching Invasion recently and got to the scene where they finally reveal why Connor and M'gann broke up and it's because M'gann was abusing her psychic powers and mind-raping a bunch of villains and when Connor confronted her about it she tried to erase his memory.

And all I could think was "WOW WHAT A COMPELLING STORY ARC! I REALLY WISH WE COULD'VE SEEN THAT INSTEAD OF JUST BEING TOLD ABOUT IT AFTER THE FACT!"

>You ain't never had black lightning before
What did he mean by this?

>>149725016
Season 1. It wasn't solely focused on the main six, but the six grounded the show. Black Canary, Red Tornado, Zatanna/Zatara, Cheshire, Captain Marvel were all side characters but got just enough screen-time to have memorable roles. And they accomplished that by having those characters linked to the main team. By Season 3 there's the main team, the Justice League, The Outsiders, Geo's Team, The Bat family and bunch of other fuckers we have to keep track off and nobody was given the time they needed

>>149725484
(((You))) know, (((anon))).

>>149725556
What if they'd made spin-off shows?

>>149725827
I'm surprised WB gave spin-offs to Teen Titans Go and Harley Quinn before this show.

>>149718885
He has no connection to the Teen Titans, but he has a big connection to the Outsiders (y'know, the subtitle of the season). It's from where Geo-Force and Halo come from. There's also an episode with Metamorpho and Katana.

Granted, I have no idea why in the second half of the season they decided their version of the Outsiders was going to be essentially the Geoff Johns' Teen Titans.

>>149726032
Teen Titans Go! is a probably the most popular thing DC is making right now because it's literally for babies. Harley Quinn (for whatever reason) was a huge hit with critics

There isn't much of an audience for YJ anymore outside of the die-hards

>>149718115 (OP)
I kind of miss this show because /co/ would bitch about it so much, but still kept watching every episode and post about how they stopped watching because of how woke it is (they didn't stop watching). It got so bad that I started watching it and thinking about what /co/ is going to find to complain about this week. The self-imposed outrage was every bit as delectable as the /co/'s delusion of having free will. The widespread butthurt was absolutely exquisite. 10/10 TV show.

>>149726514
Apparently it had higher viewership in streaming than it ever did in cable.

Even if HBO was less apathetic and gave it another season, it would've gotten Zaslav'd anyway. The timing was terrible.

>>149727140
>The lefty thinks that conservatives saw this shit
You don't know how the internet works.
Only a couple of idiots watch this shit, and the rest who complain are just repeating what the idiots who watch the show say.

>>149725484
That black lightining is stronger than regular lightning.

>>149718115 (OP)
He’s based because of how he handled Livewire.
He’s deserves the leader position on that alone!

>>149718168
same desu

>>149718115 (OP)
He liked sausage, but didn't want to see how the sausage was made

>>149718168
that's dumb. Weisman shows historically have had dedicated fandoms.

>>149718115 (OP)
>seemingly huge blow to the light
>umm actually it was all part of my plan
Fuck Weizmann, give me villains who struggle, theight faced zero setbacks the entire show despite having their leaders taken down.

>>149718115 (OP)
Funnily enough I've been rewatching Young Justice lately and to be honest I did find it cathartic when he started yelling at Batman and his team for keeping everyone else in the dark. Granted Beast Boy probably had the most reason to be upset I had forgotten how almost every mission his team went on was sent up.
>>149725339
The way they completely skipped over Clark and Connor bonding was the worst for me. That's the kind of character growth I want to see on screen instead it's just time skip and they're brothers now.

Weisman got greedy and tried to use the show as a vehicle to show off his personal DC universe instead of focusing on one thing. It plagues a lot of his work.

>>149718115 (OP)
Honestly, he was one of the better new additions post-season 2. I think adding more characters while staying focused on existing plotlines to get to a fitting conclusion would've been much better than constant expansion then dropping them and such. It not being important in season 4 is just another issue.

>>149725484
If nothing else, that was pretty funny.

>>149730181
Its really not that hard to imagine that a couple of supervillains would plan for contigencies

>>149730406
imo most of the new characters introduced in Season 3 were pretty good. Halo, Geo-Force, Forager, Cyborg

>>149730232
Spot on. Weisman is basically a worldbuilding sperg
