The "I swear I was kidding" line always gets me. The show had a good mix of serious scenes and jokes to the point that even climax has such a well-written joke.
I loved YJ when I was younger and after rewatching a few of the episodes, It honestly got even better for me after analysing it with a more mature point of view.
I just recently finished binging the entirety of the show and I agree, season 1 straight slaps. I'd say it's the best season, with season 2 being close, but not just as good.
Yeah that seems to be the common consensus. There are parts of season 2 I like, and also don't like. Some of the character work and dialog is phenomenal (it's got some of my favorite zingers in the series). But I don't love the tonal shift the show took, or how abruptly different it all feels. To each their own though.
Also I always thought it would be interesting if they did the arc where Dick took on the cowl and trained Damian Wayne. It wouldve gone back to that idea of him not being Batman but also looked at him making Batman his own thing
S1 and S2 were literally peak for this show. S3 and S4 I don’t think were as bad as people say they are but the quality drop is pretty obvious as well as the animation drop because those goddamn freeze frames….
Also, don’t forget Young Justice is a really good show and the truth is soon It will have a season 5 and it will be called Young Justice and Beyond and for each letter the color pattern will go Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and under Young Justice the new word is Beyond
Young justice was a great movie and I loved it so much and I loved the movie so much and I am so happy for you and your family and your family and your family I love you so much and I hope you have a great day
@@TheTalkingCorner same here this was also a big part of my childhood as well which is why i am hoping really hoping for season 5 because damn it this show was awesome and deserves to have a ending in my opinion.
I love yj I’ve loved it since I was a kid and I’ll love it forever i rewatch the show probably every month it’s so good all 4 seasons the good and the bad I just cant get enough of it and I love superboy and miss Martian they’re so cute
The first season is spectacular, and I love every character and wish we got more time with them pre skip. When season 2 Invasion aired, everyone including myself were upset about the time skip, and as a kid I only really enjoyed when the original team was on screen or Blue Beatle and Impulse, and wasn't to fond of the story. But when I rewatched it a while ago, I loved it and it's actually almost as good as season 1, I now even like the story more in Invasion (not by much) but the first season's characterization is just so much better and it's because of the core cast. The original team steal the show every time in Invasion, especially Dick, Wally, and Kaldur. _I love Dick._ I also love the scene Connor where finds out about Kaldur going under cover and the respect he shows to Dick, even if he's pissed at him. Connor has grown so much and it never feels out of place despite him being the hot head in season 1 that blew a fuse every time he had a chance. I didn't mean to focus on Invasion when the video is about Season 1, but I at least kept it to talking about the characters from season 1. I'd need to rewatch season 3, I remember being neutral negative for most of it. And season 4 just kinda sucks, 3 was edgy but 4 would make hot topic cringe. When *you know* died so did the heart of character interactions, and the show as a whole.
Yeah I agree with a lot of what you said about S2, though in my mind I'd still say season 1's story has the edge. I'm just really partial to a simple, character driven story and season 1 has more of that.
I love the line "they are the main charaxters of this show but not the main characters of this world" Sadly the later seasons forget this and by season 4 Superboy and Nightwing team up and fight Zod... like yeah I love Zod but these guys jumped in skill and I didnt get to see it properly
Yeah I have mixed feelings about season 2, and mostly negative feelings about season 3/4, which is why I really didn't mention them. The biggest appeal for season 1 (for me at least) is the youthful energy of everything, the positive (if slightly angsty) depiction of growing up, and the high optimism for the future. The later season feels like writing a hyper dark version of a fairy tale. I don't hate the idea of the story maturing with its characters, but jumping 5 years ahead feels so abrupt and too different.
@@TheTalkingCorner honestly the timeskip is a cop out. Like sure you can say the realationships aren't peak but the fight between Superboy and Miss Martian over her misuse of her powers would be interesting. So would seeing why Wally wants to retire from superheroics or Robin becoming Nightwing or several other ideas the show says happened but would have made for interesting storytelling. The timeskips are at best to give us twists with little justification or at worst to say we werent up for writing that scene so we didnt. Season 2 has 5 years and squanders it. Season 3 has 2 years, and pretty much couldve taken place a few months after season 2. And season 4 feels like the most direct continuation of a previous season with a year. There are other reasons why the cracks show but the timeskips are a big one
Personally I really liked season 2, wasn’t a fan of season 3, and haven’t watched season 4. I just felt cheated by season 3. There were still more things that I wanted to see from the core cast, and I was disappointed that they introduced an entirely new set of characters and storylines. I suppose it was better watching the writers struggle with new characters than watching totally butcher the characters we know and love so much.
@@jakeschafer250 Yeah I don't really know why they didn't just continue developing the core cast. There's definitely enough depth and lore for each of these characters to get 4 seasons worth of development. Not saying they can't introduce new characters, but they should still balance out new characters with returning characters (season 2 did this a lot better than season 3)
@@adamconway6101 Yeah I think they wanted the time skip to surprise people and allow them to start the story in a kind of En Medias Res. Start season 2 with all the beloved characters in new places, and slowly reveal how they got there. Actually that isn't too different from season 1, except it's of course very different to INTRODUCE a character than it is to reintroduce them. Again, it just felt too abrupt and toneily different. M'gan going from a scarred, but upbeat, giddy-to-prove-herself teenager to a quasi murderer just feels weird.
A review for season 2 will come out eventually, not sure if I'll get to tbe other seasons though. I don't have a lotta positives to say about them to be honest.
@@michaelhernandez5237 I plan on making a lot of different content for this channel. A fair bit will be based on superhero media, but there'll also be stuff on video games, other TV shows, ect. Just look forward to it.
😂😂 I had a tough time deciding which shows to show for that section, because I know everything is a fan favorite to someone. I don't know, looking back it just felt too safe for me, and uninspired. But it's perfectly fine if you enjoyed it.
The "I swear I was kidding" line always gets me. The show had a good mix of serious scenes and jokes to the point that even climax has such a well-written joke.
Yes it did! Very fun show, that also manages darker themes
I loved YJ when I was younger and after rewatching a few of the episodes, It honestly got even better for me after analysing it with a more mature point of view.
It seriously ages like fine wine. Goes from a fun action show to a deeply personal mystery thriller, at least that's the transition it had for me 😂.
keep up the good work big dawg you god 27 now
Haha thanks. This channel will be getting a lot more content soon enough
A well constructed analysis that reminded me why I loved this show so much! Great work!
Thanks for the compliment! Gonna worm to continue increasing tbe quality of these videos
yooo this was such an in dept analysis that I truly expected you to at least be in the thousands. Can’t wait for you to be one of those some day!
Genuinely supper happy to hear you enjoyed the video and joined the channel. More content is coming!

Planning on rewatching YJ and suddenly I see this video
Definitely should rewatch it, it ages like fine wine and rewards rewatches
Very interesting! Now I want to watch the show!!!
I highly recommend it. You might fall off at some point but the first 2 seasons have nearly the same tone and vibe as each other
Respect, the experience of watching it for the first time is surreal
It's so good!
S1 and S2 were literally peak for this show.
S3 and S4 I don’t think were as bad as people say they are but the quality drop is pretty obvious as well as the animation drop because those goddamn freeze frames….
Personally I'm not a huge fan of S3-4, but I do still think they have redeeming qualities, and get why people liked them
Also, don’t forget Young Justice is a really good show and the truth is soon It will have a season 5 and it will be called Young Justice and Beyond and for each letter the color pattern will go Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and under Young Justice the new word is Beyond

It is very rewatchable. Every time I go back to it I pick up new things
Batman ain’t one of my favourite hero’s but when watching young justice I kinda liked him even more .
Really I never hear anyone talking about his depiction, but it's SO GOOD. easily the best non-kevin-conroy animated depiction.
