YMMV / Justice League S 2 E 15 And 16 The Terror Beyond

• Harsher in Hindsight: When the League fights Dr. Fate's group in Part I, Wonder Woman is pitted against Aquaman. This gets a massive upscale years later in Flashpoint, which sees a world-ending war between the Amazons and Atlantis.
• Nightmare Fuel: Being an homage to the Cthulhu Mythos, "The Terror Beyond" is stuffed to the gills with it.
  • Start with Ichthultu himself, an Expy of Cthulhu which appears as a monstrous skull-like apparition with flaming eyes and Combat Tentacles.
  • Then the Screamers (oh god, the Screamers), which are headless horrors with screaming mouths in their palms. It only gets worse when you realize that the Screamers are basically expies of Y'golonac, Lovecraftian God of Rape and Sexual perversion.
  • The huge multitude of Old Ones and Elder Things that attack Atlantis and try to defend Ichthultu from our heroes follow right behind.
