So. Young Justice episode #10 - Target.
I HAVE THOUGHTS.
- That ball thing is totally the Super-Cycle, I just know it. I bet what happens is it gets jealous of Conner paying too much attention to the bike and like, does some insane New Genesis merging thing with it all like LOVE ME DAMNIT and becomes the Super-Cycle. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
- Am now 100% certain that Superboy is contractually obligated to remove or take damage to his shirt a minimum of once per episode. We are all very impressed with your pecs, sweetie. Please put some clothes on. Also you have the worst disguise in the history of ever and I can't believe anyone is falling for it because at least Superman has the "hey, that dweeb in the tweed suit looks a lot like Superman if he were a dweeb who wore tweed suits” excuse going for him. You are not even trying. Maybe everyone just assumes he can't really be Superboy because that level of laziness shouldn't be physically possible.
- Roy and Kaldur being bros: flawless. I love how Kaldur just knows how to deal with Roy's stubbornness and attitude and Roy trusts Kaldur enough to ask him for help and they tease each other over the metric system and leadership skills and do they not make the best little two-man team ever. Although Wally is going to be so jealous when he finds out Kaldur has been hanging with Red Arrow behind his back.
- Speaking of Kaldur? I don't even care that he's my brother's age anymore; sixteen is legal in Rhode Island and that fine motherfucker can get it.
- LOOK AT LEX LUTHOR. LOOK AT HIM. Then look at Superboy. Then look at Superman. Then run a comparison. This is all the confirmation I require. Conner has two daddies.
- Speaking of Conner, I can't decide whether I'm underwhelmed at the casualness with which his name came into being or if it was kind of perfect. I knew all along in my heart of hearts that M'gann was going to name him, and "Shouldn't I be Conner Nelson?" - Conner you are adorable.
- M'gann and Conner go to school with Vox, Bumblebee, Marvin and Wendy of the Super Friends, and Snapper Carr. This is ludicrous and there is nothing about it I am not in love with.
- M'gann and Superboy are also the cutest couple, even if they fail at figuring out human dating on every single possible level. (Notice how M'gann didn't answer Karen's is-he-your-boyfriend question? Hmm.) I loved the overprotectiveness, telepathic helper mode (PASSING NOTES IN CLASS, HMM?), oblivious coat-draping and book-carrying and M'gann being so happy regardless of Conner's total inability to be smooth, and just basically everything.
- All of that aside, they were in the same room with Kaldur and I kind of just wanted him to go to school with them and pass mind notes and be their boyfriend I don't have to explain my OT3 to you.
- I like
prpl_pen's theory that Cheshire and Artemis are sisters, Sportsmaster being their dad, so I'm pretty much operating under that assumption, but I hate the implication that Artemis is really the mole (or that anyone is, afklhgs) but did I ever point out here that Artemis's costume is the only one without red in it and it matches Cheshire's and what if Sportmaster and Cheshire have something on her, what if they know where her mother lives or something oh god I'm making myself sad
- Roy's eyes are pretty, but while I know tumblr is going nuts over his suit all I can think is "Don't worry, Speedy, I won't tell anyone that you are the goofiest-looking ginger secret service kid ever." And I still want to know where the hell he lives.
- Roy I swear to god if you knock Cheshire up I will discipline you
- I might be the tiniest bit obsessed.
