Young Justice

Yay for Fridge Horror.

....I have to wonder though, did they really need to even have another robot inside Mr. Twister? It seemed redundant. He could have just been remote controlled without a pilot robot. That way they could have avoided all the fridge horror of Megan possibly killing someone. Maybe that robot eye Wally picked up will let the bad guys spy on them, or something, and the writers just needed a way for that to happen. But yeah, they really should have thought that one through better.

I'm still not really feeling the cast. They're either jerks have annoying habits.

The outer suit was originally a Power Armor and the inner robot was just a robot double.

Except Aqualad and there teens, I'm a teen and I know most teens are jerks or otherwise have an annoying habit.

Also, if they don't have flaws, how do we do the character development? And I trust the creators to make it happen. They are pretty realistic teen at the moment I think.

They're allowed to have flaws, but making them completely completely unlikable from the get go?

I actually thought I was going to enjoy Robin's presence after seeing the premiere, and now I can't stand him.

Apparently the Scary Black Man from the open of the second ep was Brick- no cookie for me, I actually had to go look him up :/

Then again, I've never been into Green Arrow that much, especially not his recent stuff, which would explain why I'd never heard of the guy. And yeah, really have a question mark over Miss Martian splatting the robot. Although... do we know who the robot double was a double of? The guy was with T.O. Morrow, but...

Honestly, so far this feels a lot like Twenty Minutes with Jerks. I hope the characters will lose this attitude - it gets really annoying. So far, they just don't feel like a team, but a bunch a people who don't even like being around each other. Especially Superboy. All he did in the episode was bitching and yelling.

Remember how Teen Titans was a cast full of teenagers and they weren't annoying, and the alien girl did't have the worst catchphrase in existence? That was great.

Oh Joy this.

I hope they stop making Superboy angry, period. He was never like that, even when he was angsting. So far, it seems like they're going for the whole "Dogged Nice Guy versus Ineffectual Loner" triangle between him, Kid Flash and Miss Martian, but it doesn't match Superboy at all. Hell, when she first introduced herself and shyly commented on his t-shirt, the original Conner would have taken that as an sign.

You're absolutely right, Zeal. I suppose they're screwing Connor up due to his screwed back story in this. Which does not by any means make it right.

Guys they weren't that bad except for Superboy and he'll probably grow out of it.Character Development will kick in it's only the third episode.

We had a little character development, Superboy apologized for his behavior and for him given that he has been interacting with people all of a week that’s a step.

Personally, I find angry person less grating than angsty person. Mostly cause I get to see angry person punch things.

Just wait a little while for Character Development. I mean, as far as I can tell, the ones who are most annoying at times are Ms. M and Superboy. They're also the ones who, up until this show, have had no human contact.

And, since they live in a hollow mountain together and neither of them are human, still haven't exactly had a lot of human contact.

That's not what bothers me about Superboy. Frankly, I like Megan, as I have a soft spot for the "gentle-souled-fish-out-of-water" archetype. But Superboy—well, he's been my favorite character since 1994, and I'm not all too fond of his first animated appearance. I always preferred him as The Ace; the guy who enjoys being larger than life. Even in the comics, though, that characterization is mostly dead.

But, yeah, this is a different series, so I'm not judging too harshly. I'm eager to see how it develops, otherwise I wouldn't watch.

The latest episode solidified the Aqualad/Superboy/Miss Martian relationship as I had initially suspected. Aqualad seems very empathic to Supes, and Superboy only seems to listen to Aqualad. Megan, meanwhile, is Superboy's Morality Pet. I don't think he'd care if he hurt anyone else but Megan.

So I'm thinking any "Superboy learns a lesson" episode will run through this formula: Supes says/does something that hurts Megan. Robin/Kid Flash call him out in a "Dude, WTF!" way. Superboy makes a face and growls at them. He begins to feel remorse and Aqualad calmly tells him what he should do. By the end of the episode, he apologizes to Megan and learns his lesson. Cue credits.

Hopefully it won't be that much by-the-numbers, but I'm guessing these three will have the most interaction together throughout the series and it'll follow these characterizations.

I'm loving the show. I like the characters almost as much as the animated Teen Titans, enjoy the seemingly high budget, and look forward to more Helloooo Megan.

Yeah, I said it. Come n' get me, Internet.

You're awesome.

^^ Me too. I found her personal Character Tic amusing.

Robin's, too. Even if I did roll my eyes when he yelled "turbed" for the first time.

Yeah, Megan's super adorable.

MM watched too much tv that's her problem
