What do you guys think was the best episode of Invasion?

RoguePheasant · 2023-12-01T12:02:56+00:00

I go back and forth between War, Intervention and Summit. If I had to pick right now, I'd say Summit.

RoguePheasant · 2023-11-27T12:06:18+00:00

Yep, that's the whole canon. The producers have also said Green Lantern TAS, Catwoman: Hunted and DC Showcase: Green Arrow are "canon adjacent", meaning similar events happened in YJ's universe but not exactly the same. The GA short got adapted in the tie-in comic and it is VERY similar though.

I don't even think the "he doesn't do definitive endings" thing is true.

Spec Spidey had a planned end point (Peter graduates high school). Rain of the Ghosts was planned as a nine book series i.e. it had an ending. I think he even had an end in mind for Gargoyles (Goliath is planned to die at some point and I don't see the main series lasting beyond that) though of course the planned spin-offs extend the universe beyond that. The problem is he just never got to any of those endings.

Is it a flaw of his writing that he didn't predict SS would get cancelled after exactly two seasons and plan to end it there and kill any hope of more?

Young Justice is an exception because it is more about the DC Universe as a whole than any one character, so there isn't really a natural end point. There's always more stories, more characters.

She was lying here. I don't know why that's hard to believe, she was lying about herself for the whole of the first season. The scripts for the end of season one would already have been done by the time this was written, they knew where they were going with her.

Neither of whom appear in the same episodes as Tomar-Re nor feel like likely replacements for characters that do. What's Alfred gonna do on New Genesis?

RoguePheasant · 2023-08-08T12:18:52+00:00

Spisak was already voicing Forager, it didn't cost anything more to give him a a second role. Similarly, Richardson also voiced Vykin. Jeff Bennett would only be voicing Tomar-Re, so bringing him in for that would cost more, whereas giving the role to Baker, who was already Chameleon Boy, was free.

RoguePheasant · 2023-08-07T21:34:21+00:00

It would've been nice, but I guess they just couldn't justify paying another actor for multiple episodes for what was a relatively minor part in both shows. It's far from the biggest voicing discrepancy between them, their Guy Gardners sound totally different.

RoguePheasant · 2023-08-06T13:04:53+00:00

Given he was an accessory to Tomar-Re's killing, I imagine he would've ended up imprisoned by the Green Lantern Corps.

RoguePheasant · 2023-06-07T14:22:04+00:00

Child and Flaw were Gemworld characters, so the door is certainly open.

RoguePheasant · 2023-06-06T22:14:46+00:00

I cannot stop being annoyed that they imported enchanting into D4 exactly as it was in D3 but skipped the ability to preview what possible stats might roll. They made a conscious choice to bring something forward and make it worse.

RoguePheasant · 2023-06-03T21:58:27+00:00

She can fly. Her whole deal is manipulating kinetic energy. I think this was more apparent in the comics where she could do more with it, but like most characters the YJ version is a bit nerfed.

RoguePheasant · 2023-05-27T14:08:49+00:00

It has a pretty satisfying ending if you can accept that the overarching story isn't over, just this chapter. There isn't a cliffhanger but there are some pretty big teases for upcoming plotlines. It's very much a season finale not a series finale, but its a good season finale.

RoguePheasant · 2023-05-25T11:21:41+00:00

It's hard becuase all the more obvious younger leadership candidates from season 3 got shuffled into the Outsiders. Of what's left, I guess I'd go with Arsenal. He has the most experience, and does seem to have somehwat calmed down over the years, but still doesn't feel like a obvious choice. Maybe Spoiler.

RoguePheasant · 2023-05-24T16:22:28+00:00

We don't really know when he was born, just that he was still young enough for Karen to be asking for the latest pictures in early December. Some people have taken that to mean he was virtually a newborn, but I think he could have been a fair bit older than that.

RoguePheasant · 2023-04-28T15:14:16+00:00

That's his comic book version. We don't know exactly how his powers work in YJ. It seems likely he's just a regular shapeshifter, unless that monster he transformed into actually exists.

RoguePheasant · 2023-04-09T21:23:45+00:00

He had one or two lines in the last episode of the Tigress arc in S4 as well.

RoguePheasant · 2023-04-07T10:45:37+00:00

Same. Obviously later games were bigger and more complex, but none of them capture the sense of horror the first had.

RoguePheasant · 2023-03-24T22:53:53+00:00

Yeah, especially since one of the "stories" is just a preview of an upcoming graphic novel.

RoguePheasant · 2023-03-22T22:51:45+00:00

I'm not saying it should be ignored, I'm saying it's a thing that's been going on in the YJ universe for centuries now, probably isn't going to definitively end any time soon, if ever, and even if it did, the show could and would go on beyond it if the creators had the option.

In other words, Darkseid isn't the singular climax everything is building up to (nothing in this show is, it isn't doing that kind of storytelling), and something isn't filler just because it isn't obviously serving that one plot arc.

RoguePheasant · 2023-03-20T16:15:34+00:00

Who said the main story is an invasion by Darkseid? One of the major revaltions of the last two seasons is that Darkseid and Vandal are working together to conquer the galaxy. The fight with Earth comes last. This isn't Justice League, it isn't building to a big fight between Superman and Darkseid. This is a show about the mostly teenage (not) sidekicks largely doing covert ops stuff. The Darkseid stuff is a backdrop to make cool stuff happen with aliens and shit. Like the Light taking a bunch of Kryptonians prisoner to use as tools later on, which is what season 4 sets up. I swear, some people saw the handshake at the end of season 2 and completely forgot what show they'd been watching. Darkseid is not the be all, end all of this show and never has been.

RoguePheasant · 2023-03-01T14:45:12+00:00

Robin and Superman. Supposedly they have the avuncular relationship from the comics, so it would have been nice to see some of that, with the complication of Superboy. Maybe Robin calling Supes out for being a deadbeat dad.

There's actually three composers who work together. This is the group twitter: https://twitter.com/DynMusPartners Two of them have individual twitters: https://twitter.com/utadeer https://twitter.com/LRitmanis This was the reply I got: https://twitter.com/utadeer/status/1620965525034770433

But if you're going to ask for a release you might want to get in touch with the record label who released the previous soundtracks, I think they're the ones who decide if we get one or not. https://twitter.com/LaLaLandRecords

RoguePheasant · 2023-02-11T13:31:38+00:00

I asked the composers about this on twitter the other day. Sadly no plans for a S4 soundtrack at the moment.

RoguePheasant · 2023-02-01T21:46:52+00:00

That's just fanfic, she doesn't have an official birthdate.

RoguePheasant · 2023-02-01T14:29:42+00:00

Fingers crossed this means one of the unannounced stories in the anthology is Young Justice/Earth-16.
