Young justice under the sea/pressure of being Aquaman has come to an end

And I thought it was great! Quick run down of the episode and my thoughts:

  • When they said they’ve been down there for weeks, I was like La’gaan better not miss his kid’s birth. But then I was like how have they been surviving like where are they sleeping? On the ground in the open? What about food? Water? Ok scratch that last one
  • I love the one on one convo with La’gaan and Wyynde about Kaldur and even Conner. I love how La’gaan wants to apologize to him for what happened in the past. Also he’s kinda concern about M’gann. Which makes sense, he at least cares for her as a team mate now.
  • I was thinking about this since last week’s drop and I think I figured out why I hated L’gaan and why I was so happy to jump on his poly ship. I think it was because all he was in season 2 was M’gann’s new boyfriend and we really didn’t get to see him outside of that and that whole role was to be a block for Supermartian. So I don’t necessarily think it was hatred for him but more like the situation because that was all his character was in the show. Now with him in a new (positive) relationship, I can enjoy him being in the show because he has at least a bit more of a role than being a wall.
  • I love that M’gann is not only helping Orin but also doing it with a mermaid tail. But back to what she’s doing. I like how her powers are being showcased more with doing good things. It’s so easy for other shows to be like oh they have mind powers and can read minds that’s it. I like how there’s a bit more to it. I know this isn’t a recent development and I have thought of this before but I just wanted to say it again.
  • Plus she’s doing this when she should be taking a break. Her husband just died a bit ago. Can’t they ask anyone else and let her take a break with her brother (Gar)?
  • Also I knew it wasn’t the real Arion. It was just too suspicious, but I wouldn’t have guessed that it was really Orm. Like did not see that coming. I thought Lady Shiva was like this is a disgraced and killed him. But if I remember correctly she did take his body.
  • When they found the crown, I was begging for Kaldur not to be the true king. Like for a second I thought they were going to do that because he was so overworked and taking on so many responsibilities so the plot would be like you know what could make this worse?
  • As the team was swimming towards the leaders, I was like can someone tell L’gaan that his wife is in labor. Like he has important places to be. Not dealing with this mess.
  • When Orm put on the crown, I was like he’s going to die.


  • He did.

  • His skeleton looked pretty cool.

  • I love the “twist” I guess you would call it. I love that Mera was like my husband is you true king. Then he’s like no you are the true king and then just tells her how importaint she is to their people and how strong she is. I love that everyone accepted her! Plus I do love that Orin’s little arc about feeling not being able to be king ended with him not being king. It was kinda refreshing that the ending of that was you are a good king. It was giving up his power and then taking care of his son and supporting his wife and becoming Aquaman again- something that made him happy. I love that it ended with him become a househusband.
  • Also Kaldur is taking a much needed break. I wonder if he’ll appear in any other episodes this season or just the finale of the season. I’m so glad that he’s decided to take some time off and spend it with his boyfriend and sister (kinda I guess at least that’s what I’m assuming their relationship is suppose to be or just friends)
  • Conner is still stuck. I slightly forgot about that for a hot second that he was struggling with himself and not just chilling.
  • Vandal Savage’s plan didn’t go according to plan. This is new. I really thought for some reason that finding the crown and killing Orm was all according to plan. I didn’t know how but it’s him so. Nabu comes specifically to roast him. In my mind, I think Vandal see himself as a lord of order or even a lord of balance.
  • Also back to the whole Orm thing and how killing him was a part of the plan. Is Ra’s leaving a part of the plan? I know I bring this up a lot, but I’m absolutely concerned with what he’s up to. Like you don’t leave Ra’s to his own devices.
  • Also the ending with Kaldur taking to I think Dinah about how basically every bad thing that has happened in the last 10 years was because Dick, Wally and him were reckless kids making a team after freeing Conner. I was like Kaldur no death was always going to follow you because your a (dc) superhero like there was no way out of it
  • Side note I could not get into his words after he mentioned the deaths of Conner and Jason (and Wally) because like we know Conner and Jason aren’t dead (at least not anymore in Jason’s case) but I get what he’s saying. It was still impactful but my mind was trying to be like no Jason is alive and I was like quiet Kaldur’s finally getting therapy
  • I can’t wait for next week. I think it’s going to be Rocket’s because I feel like Dick’s going to be the finale because it’s Dick Grayson. I don’t know a lot about Rocket but I’m excited to watch the arc.
  • By the way we have not really seen Dick at all besides I just non speaking roles (I think) and also Artemis after her arc. I really hope they have an importaint role this season too. And by that I mean Artemis is in the story outside of her arc.
  • Also what is happening with Bart and the Legion teens like are we not going to talk about it?
