BurningDoom wrote:Pretty dang good episode of Green Lantern: The Animated Series this week. I hope that wasn't the season finale. The Red Lanterns arrive at the doorstep of the Guardians of the Universe. We finally see the battle between Hal Jordan and Atrocitus. The Blue Lantern makes his appearance. And *gasp* The Guardians of the Universe admit that they were wrong! Comic fans REALLY need to be watching this show, I know the CGI is a turn-off, but it's good regardless of that, seriously.
On the other hand, Young Justice this week wasn't all that great of an episode.
I have to re watch Young Justice, on first viewing I'm inclined to agree with you. It's only in the last few minutes that anything meaningful happened, and it felt like the whole episode was just about showing us how cool Wondergirl is, or how cool girls in general are as the whole episode was about an all female team going on a mission and they made sure to point that out to viewers.
I do like Wonder Girl, but her over enthusiasm and desire to prove herself can get a bit annoying. I think the most interesting part of the episode was actually Blue Beetle's story. I like him as a character, and the domestic abuse undertones of his story gave this episode a nice, grown up feel for a cartoon. I was far more interested in his story than the mission with the girls.
Batgirl was horribly utilized in this episode. As a Batfan, that disappointed me. She doesn't really do anything useful and even gets captured, and I'm sorry but any mission involving Batgirl should have her as the leader of the squad, not Megan. The show is kind of over using Megan at this point. They was an entertaining moment between Batgirl and that bumblebee character in this episode that was cool, but her lack of super powers really made her seem useless in this episode. She came off a bit bitchy with Nightwing too. I think they were just trying to show that her and Dick can tease each other because they have a good relationship, but it was just written in a way that I didn't like. Made her look very disrespectful too, since Nightwing is team leader.
Not a horrible episode of Young Justice, but did leave me a bit unsatisfied.
Green Lantern was mostly awesome this week. I agree with you for the most part. However, I didn't like the fight between Hal and Atrocitus at all and I think it ended the episode on a sour note.
