I have been watching it and I quite love it. I agree with Artemis, but I hope she's fleshed out more. And I disliked Superboy a lot too, but he's grown on me. by the 9th episode, hes's really quite wonderful when he's expanded upon more.

BUT ROBIN AND HIS LEADERSHIP ISSUES, EEEEE. *O* He's so adorable. And even though I hear jesse so obviously, he's fairly good. I love him. :D

I was just really impressed by this show. I didn't think it would be this well thought out and stuff. :D

I just don't like Artemis. Usually when I don't like comic characters in the shows, I'll like them in the comics (Like Starfire in Teen Titans or Mockingbird in the new Avengers cartoon) but I still don't like her. (Apparently she's based off of the second Tigress, who I also didn't like, so there's nothing good happening for her.) And I'm starting to like Superboy a little bit, buuuuuttttt... Then he takes 17 steps back and I'm lost on him again.

Haha, I'm in the process of rewatching the first episode and all I can think when he talks is 'Roxas. Roxas. Roxas. Beautiful Soul. Roxas.'

Most of my RL friends who are watching this aren't huge into Western Comics, so I was ready to brush it off as a huge canon mess, but I'm surprised at how much they put into it.

I agree! M'gann really is adorable. (: I watched a number of episodes and it's a pretty good show. I like what they've done with it. It's not my favorite DC animated series (can't beat the Brave and the Bold, EVER), but I'm glad it's giving people a better feel of what the Teen Titans in the comics are like rather than the first animated series.

Unfortunately I lost motivation to watch it....

Brave and the Bold was amazing. Anything with Plastic Man and I'm sold though, haha! And I'm just kind of confused as to why they're calling it Young Justice when they have... Two? Young Justice members? I'm not knocking it, I just think it's amusing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, that's Madame Xanadu, right? (Sorry, never really read anything with her in it. I'm actually just guessing that it's her because she acted nothing like what I have seen her in.) Sorry about them messing up how she acted though!

Hahaha, wow do I ever wish.

Two of the kids from YJ? I don't even think they have that. XD Kid Flash is Wally and Robin is Dick. Kon is the only one that's the same. But yeah, I don't really care personally either. It's enjoyable how it is.

Good God, the Boostle & JLI episodes killed me. Brave and the Bold is the BEST. C8 Can't love it enough.

Yeah, it's Madame Xanadu. Her series is just phenomenal, and for whatever reason they just had a small scene to where she was just some random fake fortune teller. :( I was just upset forever. It was the one chance they could have shown off and promoted this AMAZING character & her series that's neglected and overlooked. :| Lol and ironically her series JUST ended. Haha yeah sorry, it's hardcore nerdragey, but it just really made me upset.

Well, especially Kid Flash! Because Impulse is the one in YJ, right? Ohhhhh, YJ Robin is Tim, isn't it? Never mind. So that's... One member. Brilliant.

Ugggghhh, the Boostle episode is saved on my computer and I just about cried watching it. Breaks my heart. (I also read Booster Gold: Blue and Gold the other day, and just about cried during that too. In the middle of a Barnes & Noble. Comic writers are bastards.)

Don't hate me, but I didn't even know she had a series. xD I'll have to see if I can find the issues somewhere.
It's kind of weird that they would just throw her into an episode as a fake when the entire 'morale' was that you shouldn't always dismiss magic as fake. (And sorry, but I loved that episode. Klarion being in there made me so happy!)

I need a YJ or any sort of comics icon, yeesh, bad fangirl XD ( ... )

Terrible, terrible fangirl. xD

Oh yeah, I'm right there with you on the thinking in terms of YJ canon. It just doesn't work. I'm okay with the M'gann/Superboy angle, but the Artemis/Wally UST just isn't going to fly on my watch. I wholeheartedly dissapprove. Haha, Kon/Tim/Bart. OT3. (I really love Aqualad. Like.. Really love him.

I blame the weird dumb-word thing on the writers. But the lisp is All Jesse All the Time. (Also, the laugh. What is with the laugh? I think he got some Smilex recently, because he sounds a little Mark Hamill-ish. xD Lay off the Joker giggle, Jesse.)

YES! I was telling my friend all about this in art and she just sat there in confusion as I ranted and raved about how excited I was that he was in the episode! Hahaha, Treacle....

shame on me, I don't even have a YJ or general comics icon. Oh well, I'll use my Spock icon. It's the next nerdiest. XD

/fangirls eternally YOUNG JUSTICE OH MY GOODNESS. I watched it for the first time a couple weeks ago, fell in love, and have been obsessed ever since. The anon meme sort of ate my entire spring break, lol. I ship pretty much everything/everything, but I'd say my main ships are Superboy/M'gann, Superboy/Aqualad (... he loves everyone okay. XD), Roy/Ollie (ish? Idk, can't decide if I ship-ship them or just platonic-ship them), and, of course, Dick/Wally (OTPOTPOTP ♥).

ROBIN IS PRETTY MUCH MY FAVORITE THING EVER. I adore him and his laugh and his leadership issues and everything about him. Wally is also fantastic, and pretty much every other character, even though something just seems sort of... Off. About Artemis. Idk. I really want to like her, but I just can't, so we'll see if her character gets fleshed out a bit. I actually really love Superboy, idk. "Those... Were my favorite boots."

and. *cough ( ... )

Blast, I was going to use my Uhura to match your Spock and then I realized I don't have it anymore. So as it is, I raise your swearing Spock with my own swearing icon!

I AM GLAD YOU SHIP EVERYTHING BECAUSE I ALSO SHIP EVERYTHING. Please. Please ship Roy/Ollie. I need someone to ship Roy/Ollie with, they are so messed up right now and Roy's lover-scorned attitude and his blatant hurt look when Artemis shows up and and and.... Dick/Wally is fantastic though. Second favorite.

ROBIN IS AS COOL AS ICE AND AS SLICK AS A GRAVEL ROAD. IN PLAINER TERMS, I LOVE HIM. I think Artemis is secretly evil and she's going to do a heel face turn at the end of the season. That is my highly educated guess. And I can see why people like Superboy, but I'm just not digging him yet. Maybe as I watch more. xD

Not kidding, your Wally/Dick deathfic was the reason I decided to give the series a shot. I read it at school on my phone and loved it.

I've liked what I've seen so far of the show (I only catch it every now and then) and I can't even be mad over how correct it is or isn't because these are characters that I never really followed in comics. Not because I dislike american comics (as if my icon didn't make that obvious :P) but I've just never really followed these characters.

I've been meaning to watch more of it, and hopefully, I'll figure out who I ship soon, because it's just odd to watch a show and not have a ship for it. ;D

Understandable, there are so many other people to keep up with after all. xD

Weeeeellllll, whenever you do, be sure to inform me because I can always use new people to ship with.
