You Know Who Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 He should just go and be Nightwing Arsenal already. According to wikipedia, he's gonna become Red Arrow rather than Arsenal. On that note, what's the difference between the two personas?

Missy Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 As far as I know, as Arsenal he uses all sorts of weapons, but as Red Arrow he exclusively uses arrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, what's the difference between the two personas? Arsenal uses anything as a weapon, guns, knives the whole kitten-caboodle. Red Arrow follows GA's example and just uses a bow.

KnightWing Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I think "Red Arrow" in the show is actually more like Arsenal, though. His outfit certainly leans more in that direction than in Red Arrow's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 So....Speedy is the leader of Young Justice then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Actually, Aqualad is. Speedy doesn't stay with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Actually, Aqualad is. Speedy doesn't stay with the team. Good. Cause Speedy seemed like a bit of a dick. I did laugh when the crowd talked about the sidekicks, and then got to Speedy and someone said "...that makes no sense." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimeToonFan Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'm in the midst of reading a ign review on the premiere episode tonight. If anyone else wishes to do so here's the link: http://tv.ign.com/articles/113/1136736p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TFG1Mike Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm actually liking this!! must remember to watch more when it airs again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'll watch the first episode then take it from there. I can already tell I won't like Speedy. Also, can the name of the thread be changed from "Young Justice League Cartoon" to just "Young Justice" if the show is going to start tonight.

Guest TFG1Mike Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 What is on tonight is just called The Young Justice Movie..... Series premiere is in Jan 2011.

You really aren't going to have to worry about Speedy too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Just finished it. Wasn't overwhelmed by it, nor underwhelmed. Just whelmed. Main thoughts: The animation is brilliant. Looks better than most of the DCUA Movies, actually. The action isn't quite JLU-level, though the camera angles are a lot more dynamic. I like the main cast, for the most part. Robin is cool. Wally didn't have much to do in this episode, but he was fun anyway. This version of Aqualad seems to be the same new kid from Brightest Day, but actually raised in Atlantis rather than on land; it's really interesting. Speedy can crawl in a hole and die. They really seem to be aiming for a serialized format with the show, seeing as how there are several obvious character arcs that start here, along with the overall "evil villain" arc. The tone of the show is similar to a modern DCU comic (like Johns' Teen Titans) rather than the usual superhero animated series fare, which is really, really cool. The moment between Superboy and Superman was really great, since it really highlighted the realistic problems of a Superman clone suddenly being tossed into the world. Superboy expects Superman to just welcome him with open arms, but Superman's halfway between concerned and bothered that someone tried to make an controlled clone of him. While this means that Superboy's gonna be all angst-ridden for a while (which could get annoying), I'm excited to see what happens. Also, the League mentions that they're investigating why three ice-themed villains would attack on the same day, but that's never resolved. Future plot point, perhaps? Miss Martian just sort of showed up at the end. She also seems to maybe have a crush on Superboy? Overall, I thought it wasn't jaw-dropping, but it's got a ton of potential. Very optimistic about this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimeToonFan Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I hope it lasts longer than most new series have lately. There hasn't been too good of a track record lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Well, unless Disney buys DC or some crazy nonsense, I doubt we'll have the same situation we had with Spectacular Spider-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 By changing so much they've managed to throw up a whole bunch of interesting new angles for this universe. I liked the pilot, but I get the feeling that I'm really going to love some of the upcoming stuff where we get even more Young Justice members and loads of different villains. Looks extremely promising, especially the Superboy arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Also anyone else think that the design of the creatures in this ep heavily hinted towards Doomsday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thoughts as I watch this: Christ, that today is the day line got rammed into the ground fast. The animation really makes me think of Marvel animation for some reason. I still don't like Speedy. Aqualad seems almost apathetic at times and doesn't seem that bothered about what is going on. Hey, Captain America The Guardian showed up! There's an atomic symbol for Krypton? Aqualad has a nice power. So: Young Justice is the Teen Version of the Outsiders? All in all, it was a good episode, marred by the repeated use of that fucking "Today's the day" line. Also, its interesting Conner wasn't actually named in the episode.

Stavros Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 There's an atomic symbol for Krypton? Krypton is an element, a gas. It's no 36 on the periodic table. Of course the gas has sod-all to do with the planet or the meteor rocks, but they decided to use it here anyway. Despite codenames for projects being used to hide their purpose, and project Kr explicitly referencing Krypton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the Codename being Krypton was a bit on the nose, but what else could they name the project: Codename: We are definitely not making a clone of Superman.

Guest TFG1Mike Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Suave no worries on Speedy I bet he won't ever show up again. As far as you thinking that it reminds you of Marvel animation. Nah it seems more like a combination of all the DCU Movies animation styles. At least that's what I thought.

I don't know, it was just the feel of the show, and how they moved and how the city looked. Made me think of that recent X-Men cartoon for some reason. Also, I think Speedy will show up down the line, after Arrowette shows up, calling himself Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the episode as a whole, I think it was decent. I like most of the designs (especially Blockbuster) and the voice-acting (the big exception being Robin; he lisps too much for my taste). I wonder who the board members of Cadmus on the television screens are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
