they buy each others merch not to be supportive but to clown on their friends

This reminds me of the bad run of Young Justice action figures. They wanted to include Superboy, Robin, and Impulse, but apparently didn’t want to make new molds. Impulse & Robin don’t look quite right with the adult male molds.
hi im literally obsessed with these @zams-oasis ur my hero
I think why that part of Young Justice (2019) was such a flop was because it tried to make Young Justice into a “big tent” type of superhero team, like the Teen Titans is. Like if you asked “who’s in the Teen Titans” it’d probably just be easier to ask “what superheroes that have been a teen at some point haven’t been in the teen Titans.” The Teen Titans has (with a conservative estimation) at least 50+ members across many generations. But if you ask “who’s in young justice” (not counting the TV adaptation) you can count the number of characters with your hands. And if you’re talking about who’s in the “core” of young justice, you can take it down to 4– even 3 (although you probably shouldn’t). I think the difference is that the Teen Titans started as a superhero team but Young Justice just started as 3 friends hanging out. Even when it grew, Young Justice was more of a friend group than a super hero team. That’s why making it into a big superhero team doesn’t really work. It fundamentally misunderstands a core aspect about of Young Justice’s identity. It’s always been “just us.”
Years later, with many changes in all of their lives, the one thing that keeps these young heroes together is the friendship they forged. BART, CASSIE, KON, and TIM find themselves once more on the frontlines with ANITA, CISSIE, and GRETA, finding themselves where most adults do in their late teens: wondering what they’ll be doing next.
