I’m 2 episodes behind on YJ, due to illness!. Even if I do still watch it my brain is not functioning at full capacity. So just pray for me y’all!

“Side by Side or miles apart Sisters will always be connected by the heart”!

AU where lian remembered for my own mental health

Again I’m late to the party

I was prevented from watching this episode because of family. Funny enough, this episode was about family. At least it was about found family which we stand in this house.

• So we now know for sure Onyx is not a mole. I love her story. I hope we get to see more of her.
• Cass almost had her battle with her mom taken away. Like I understand Artemis didn’t think she could do it. I was just really excited to she Cass fight Shiva. With swords? I was more thinking of hand to hand combat but a fight’s a fight. I’m glad we got to see her not only fight her mom but show that she understands not to be like her. Without saying a word. A kinda good show don’t tell thing. I wonder why she is so obsessed with getting Cass. Like I understand this a foil for Jade and training a human soldier is not a quick process, but like this urgency, there has to be a reason for needing her. Probably there’s not a really deep explanation besides she want her daughter.
• The Shade was a real plot twist. I did not see that coming.
• More Barbara and Cass please!
• Jonny! We get to hear him talk, and we get to see the Kent’s!! Sad considering the circumstances, but since I am almost 100% certain he isn’t dead, I’m not really worried. But I love how they brought up Clark and Conner’s relationship in season 1. They are brothers! I love it.
• Jade almost went back. She wants to be with her family but she can’t because she’s scared. I found it really cute that Lian made a “mommy” mask. This means that she knows who her mom is which is kinda good. However she kinda made a mask of a criminal, but it’s so innocent. She wants to be her mom! A strong woman.
• Jason, because that is who the Red Hooded Ninja is, talked again. I wonder if this season it will be revealed at least to us that Jason is alive.
• What if they just put him in the show just to mess with us?
• Also everyone but Artemis bows when Ra’s Al Ghul entered. Artemis isn’t going to give the crazy old guy “respect.”
• The whole Ra’s Al Ghul family bootcamp thing is interesting. I trust him because Dick said “Ra’s Al Ghul is many things, but a liar isn’t one of them.” I trust that. I trust that he does want to help them. That’s not what I’m really concerned about. What I am concerned about is why? Why does he want to help them? What does he have to gain? Why did he left the League?
• The talk about how the league manipulated people to be zealous to the cause and the way they showed Talia during that scene and at the very end is trying to tell us something. Earlier in the arc we had Talia say she would never give up Damian. I wonder if this will play into Dick’s arc or not. I don’t know exactly what they’re trying to tell us but I do know it has to be connected with Shiva and Jade. There is a connection between Shiva and Talia because they were in the same pose to the camera at the end.

Late Young Justice post

Oh my god I just now got to watch episode 7. I wanted to on Thursday, but then go a flat tire on the highway in the cold dark night. Like really? I don’t have time for that. Anyways, you might not even care that I do this, but I want to. So here’s my thoughts on this episode:

• We found out the mole is the biggest one. I like the callback on the season 2 charm thing.
• I think that it might be safe to say Onyx is truthful. I kinda hope she becomes friends with Tara.
• More M’arzz! M’gann kicked all the rebels just to yell at her brother. She now knows there’s more at play here than just them. So mystery?!? Yeah no. All of us are like 86% certain he’s in the future, but that’s going to be a fun adventure,
• M’gann’s sister is coming to Earth! While she’s not really a character I care about fully, I think it’s going to be interesting for her to come to Earth. She’s the only one in the group of siblings to attend the wedding. I think she’s going to be the one to help M’gann with her grief unlike what she did when they were kids.
• Artemis is a great leader. Like she is killing it.
• But like SEND IN THE BATS. Like there would be no problems otherwise. They’d do whatever it takes because they’re not going to let what happened to Jason happened to Cass.
• The bats taking done the joker as a team is amazing! I love the bats.
• I love the screen time on Cass and Babs’s relationship. Love it! The comparison and contrast to Jade and Artemis? Love it! I hope we get to see a family reunion after this mission is done!
• Also I love what they did to how Babs became paralyzed. It has to with the joker yes, but it has more meaning than senseless violence. It kinda puts her in a more heroic light than a damsel in distress situation. It makes her seem more stronger than the Joker just shooting her because she opened a door. I don’t know. I like it. Do you?
• By the way, my heart hurt when Dick was by her side telling her to hold on and Babs holding Cass’s hand telling her she did it to save her. That just hits me so hard.
• Jade is back! Never doubted that she was coming back because of the foreshadowing.
• However based on the plot description for next episode “help is offered from an unexpected source,” I thought that that was when Jade was going to come. So who is it? My guess is that it has to be Talia Al Ghul and Jason or the Al Ghuls (And Jason) because they were shown in the beginning of this arc. They’re going to appear at least at the end of the arc with Jade. Or maybe the time travelers? I don’t know, but I have a feeling that it isn’t referring to Jade.

The plot thickens on Young Justice

Spoilers

• Jade only coming home for Lian because she’s Lian’s blood and tissue match
• We learn that Will isn’t a blood and tissue match for Lian. That probably won’t be important just making note of it
• So we still don’t know which one is the traitor. I don’t it’s either of them really. We learn both of their backstories and they are believable.
• Cassandra Savage’s mom is still alive with two half siblings. I wonder if she’ll meet up with them for her ending maybe. Also what was her mom thinking. Her child was taken when her kid was four. Like was it a kind of divorce thing going on or did he faked his death or what?
• I love Onyx’s backstory. I don’t know anything about her character so I don’t know if she’s YJ exclusive or has a comic counter part, but I love her backstory. The fact that she felt a kind of family with the shadows. It’s like a real cult. But what I did take note was that she felt things had change once they moved to Santa Prisca and she calls Ra’s The Great One. She has respect towards him and when he was leader, things had to be significantly different than now with Deathstroke running it. I still have a feeling that Ra’s is up to something. It’s like they’re saying it’s better for the shadows to be led by Ra’s and I don’t know how to feel about that. They’re making him less of the bad guy he has been portrayed as in recent years and has turned him back into an anti hero kind. I love it, but I’m also curious as to what plans they have for him.
• Let’s go to Gar real quick. He’s going through a hard time, and it’s very real. I live the little cuts in between with not a lot of words. It’s most atmosphere and a great show don’t tell thing as well! The tensions are rising with Brion and Markovia vs Perdita. I like the Brion uses social media very realistic but it worries me about how he’s making it a meta human “safe” space. I love the idea of a safe space for them, but we know it’s under the control of the light. They’re going to have a much easier building an army when they come to you. Poor Gar. This drama is preventing him to spend time with her girlfriend who he could be with to help get through this tough time.
• We got to see more of Artemis’s boyfriend. I still don’t know exactly what to feel. Like I said before I’m happy that she’s happy. I’m just a bit stressed about the if Wally comes back. He might not come back, but if he did this is going to go BAD. Actually forget about that for a second. What about Artemis when she finds out what her friends did. To be honest, I kinda understand why they did it. They wanted her to move on from the grief that was really eating at her, and they can’t tell a girl who is in a deep grief and mourning that they can’t find his soul. Like that’s not going to end well. It’s also not going to end well when she finds out. Just to reiterate I’m perfectly fine with her moving on from Wally. What I’m not fine with is the moving on from plot points that will cause SO much drama for the relationship they’ll have. Like I can’t enjoy it If I’m making up stress for something that might not even happen.
• I know all of these has been mostly heavy, but I just want to say I love Stephanie in this. I love her interactions with Cass and Artemis.
• I love how Onyx knew who Jade was. Also Rip off Spider-Man knew of Jade’s live for Will and worked for her.
• I’m kinda worried about Cass. I know she probably won’t die because they won’t kill her and Shiva probably is just bluffing because she would have “wasted” her time training her. (Side note: I love the detail of Artemis saying her dad was extremely abusive but didn’t think he’d kill her. It’s something I think a lot of abused kids think.) I’m not 100% familiar with Cass’s entire backstory. But I thought David trained her completely and Shiva gave up her baby and she likes her daughter. I’m probably wrong. Someone correct me please.
• Also it has been confirmed that Cass can’t talk. I remember posting something about that during season 3. Which was a very lucky guess.
• The flashbacks of childhood were so good. It showcase the abuse the felt with and also reveals that Artemis did see her sister on and off from time to time. And because of the flashback we know Jade lied to Artemis to see if one of them was a spy and will follow behind them.
• And Final point: Jade is calling out all the baby assassin moms! She called out Talia last episode. I wonder who she’s going to call out next. Vandal? Slade? Maybe Batman?

This time on Young Justice

Spoilers for Young Justice Season 4 Episode 5 Tale of Two Sisters

• first off that montage of Artemis: AAAHHHH! She’s now a professor who teaches students at a college!! I’m so happy for her. Then I think she has a boyfriend maybe. Don’t know how I completely feel about that since I believe Wally isn’t dead (I’m in denial I know). Like I’m perfectly ok with her being with someone else. It’s just that if they bring Wally back, it’s going to be heavy angst.
• Secondly,more importaintly, the fact that they went to her house and told her in person and that she knew before they said anything that someone died makes my heart hurt. Add that in with the montage of the reverse of what we just saw, Season 4 is really trying to get the ice around my heart to melt. It’s really trying. I swear.
• I can’t believe that Will still has the family photo of him and Jade and Lian. I love that photo.
• I also loved the group photo from what I can assume is season 1 or at least 2.
• Ok so this will get out of order in the ways I want to talk about it just a heads up (The mole, the backstory flashbacks, and then Jade)
• Ok so I think we can trust Casandra Savage because she did tell the truth about her sister Olympia dying in front of her by their dad. We know that that is true. And she did seem to try to reassure herself that she was old and it was a mercy. Although that could be what they want us to think. I don’t know for sure.
• I feel like we might be able to trust Onyx. I’m not really completely sure about this. Because I do believe Terra that she isn’t blood thirst enough to be an assassin, but like that doesn’t really matter. They could just be blackmailing her to do it and she doesn’t necessarily have to kill them to betray them. I’m not 100% certain, but I do feel we might get a ought Terra scenario from her or even Cassandra Savage.
• I love that bit with Stephanie. Absolutely love it. I love Stephanie.
• But back to the mole thing. As much as I want to believe them, I have to believe Cassandra Cain. Cassandra Cain is rarely if ever wrong about someone because she can read body language fluently. There’s no reason not to trust her.
• I wonder if we might be able to see a little “redemption” (in this scenario I don’t think she has anything to be redeemed) for Terra because of this. Maybe she’ll relate to her.
• Ok so the flashbacks! We get to see how Sportsmaster actually trained his daughters. Why did he make them make wear masks? But then again that’s such an abusive parent thing. Also, the way he treated Jade when she called him out on it to protect Artemis. Absolute Trash Dad.
• We get to see the ending to the part of the flashback we already saw and the og flashback also being remastered. The ending to that is horrifying because we know what happens after. But since we know what happens after, it’s kinda shows how much Artemis’s life has changed. We saw in the beginning of the episode of her life being happy. It’s really impactful to me at least.
• I hate the fact that Jade left but I understand why she did it. I love that they showed her on a train protecting herself discreetly, showing she’s tough. But since she was tough, she has trouble accepting a happy life like Artemis has.
• Ok I’m getting way too deep here.
• But it goes along to with the next section I want to talk about
• Ok first why does Paula have the ability to contact Jade and then blames her for never being there when she would come home for them. First thing she does is ask what’s wrong with Lian. While I do think her mom is right in the fact that she had everything, but who knows maybe she had to continue her work you don’t know. I’m also kinda want to think that that was why she wanted to die by Sensei was so she didn’t want to face her family.
• Also Sensei is the one that helped with finding Roy
• So if Jade is in debt, what could they have her do? Why do they want her to want to live? She’s not going to be sent on a suicide mission then, but what do they want to do with her? I wonder if this means that at the end of this arc she goes to work for the Al Ghuls or goes back home to her family. I would love for her to go back to her family even though I think it’s unlikely for her to be able to go back to her family.
• Also back to the Al Ghuls. What are they doing? You expect me to believe that they’re just chilling on that island and are doing nothing because Ra’s sees the world in grays now. Like no? That wouldn’t stop him from doing his shadow things. “Once a shadow always a shadow” It only means that he changed the way he’s going to do them. You cannot tell me he’s not planing something. He finally has a “worthy” heir. He’s going to go back to the light or steal back the Shadows. There’s no way that he’s just going to sit on the sidelines like?
• By the way I love how Talia walks in with her two sons. She’s also carrying Damian. Also it is confirmed that it is Damian (Wayne). He looks so cute!! I’m so happy! Love the fact that Jade the one who gave up her daughter to live a more happy/safe life than her tells Talia a woman who grew up about the same way as her that her son is going to need therapy and Talia is like no he’s not going to need therapy because he has me. I’m just like Dude he’s always need therapy that’s like his whole thing he can’t function he has like one brain cell when it comes to feelings I don’t I can’t get this out of my mind. I get Jade’s point I do, but like it’s not going to be that much better like comparing Jade giving Lian to Will to Talia giving Damian to Bruce. While it would be better, in canon it’s not Bruce that helps Damian be a hero as much as the main stream people want you to believe. It is Dick, Dick needs to get Damian and Jason who might possibly have is memories back like I don’t think that’ll exactly be his arc but maybe something similar. I can only hope.
• Also while Talia is irresponsible with raising her son in an environment like hers, she does seem to genuinely care for him. I wonder if Jade might learn from Talia or vise versa because I really hope they’re not going for the Grant Morison run’s Talia.
