Less screentime for the main team but Zatanna is there again and was cute. She and Kaldur combined their magic! That was really cool :) and the trogowogs are gremlins!

Kaldur crossed his arms, eyeing the new recruits standing in the main area of the Watchtower. He and Artemis stood together to one side as Black Lightning addressed the new members. “Black Lightning believes these are the key for the league to stay current with the times?” he asked, glancing at Artemis.
Artemis shrugged. “Yeah, he says we need more diversity.” She snorted. “Diversity in abilities and training anyway.”
Kaldur hummed as Black Lightning finished and gestured for Kaldur to join him. Artemis gave him a supportive look as Kaldur left her side. “This is Aquaman. He’ll be in charge of getting you settled and trained on the League’s methods.” Kaldur barely hid his wince. Why did he become the League’s trainer? Couldn’t Batman do it?
Suddenly, one girl, maybe slightly younger than Kaldur, raised her hand. Black Lightning chuckled at the sight before nodding to her. “Is he Aquaman number one, two, or three? Isn’t there three Aquamans now?”
Kaldur narrowed his eyes at her. She just smiled back cheekily. “He’s the second Aquaman,” Black Lightning said, a smirk on his face. “Now I’ll leave you to him.” Black Lightning turned and walked out of the room.
“What now, sir?” the militant-looking recruit asked, relaxing slightly. He must be ex-military, Kaldur guessed. Jefferson never did give Kaldur the files on any of the new recruits. He’ll have to find them later.
“Now we will train.” Kaldur gestured for them to follow him as he turned to lead them deeper into the Watchtower.
“Yes, Aqua Two.” Kaldur looked over his shoulder at the girl. Annoying girl.
“Aquaman is fine,” Kaldur said shortly.
“But what if all the Aquamans are in the same place, then I’d have to call you Aqua Two, so might as well start now.” The girl grinned. Kaldur sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before looking away. The other two recruits were wonderfully silent. Kaldur led them toward the training room, planning to put the annoying girl through more rounds with higher difficulty as a result.
***
“Is that it?” You panted, grinning at Aqua Two as he frowned deeply. You knew you pushed him too far and he was punishing you. It was very enjoyable to see him become more and more dissatisfied as you met every one of his challenges. Every part of your body ached. You were slowing down. Hopefully, Aqua Two will give up before you do.
“No.” Aqua Two gestured for the other two recruits to leave. “You are done for the day. See you tomorrow.” They quickly left. “I will run another simulation.”
You sighed, taking a moment to catch your breath. However, the simulation started immediately and you barely ducked to avoid a giant ax flying at your head. A huge Viking man formed out of thin air. You smirked and grabbed the ax as he took another swing. Riding the ax up in the air as he attempted to throw you off, you flipped over him to land a kick to his lower back. He stumbled allowing you to flip around him and perform a nerve strike to his neck. The Viking fell hard and disappeared. Two Vikings appeared the moment the other disappeared. You took a deep breath before standing your ground.

“Kaldur, aren’t you taking this a bit far? You had her in there for hours,” Raquel said, appearing at Kaldur’s side. Kaldur flinched. He should have heard her come in.
“This new recruit has an attitude problem.” Kaldur crossed his arms. He noticed you were slowing down. You took a hit to the face, toppling over. However, you recovered quickly, rolling back to your feet and taking down the Viking.
Raquel hummed. “You have to stop. This is Wonder Woman’s program. It will kill her.” She reached around and turned it off. You froze as the Vikings disappeared. Kaldur clicked his tongue. Raquel rolled her eyes and turned to you. “Go to the med bay. That last hit must have really hurt.”
“I’m good.” You grinned despite the blood dripping from your mouth. “Ready to keep going, Aqua Two? If you are still up for it?”
Kaldur blushed as Raquel glanced back at him with a smirk. “You’re done. Go home, (Y/N). We’ll see you here tomorrow.” Raquel waved you off and eyed Kaldur. You waved cheerfully and limped out of the room. “So you’re punishing her for teasing you?”
“It is improper.” Kaldur pursed his lips, realizing he was taking out his frustrations on you. Truth was, he didn’t like having to share the Aquaman name. It was the way it had to be, but it certainly led to several situations he didn’t appreciate. For example, being called in when they actually wanted Orin. Very irritating.
“She is just teasing you, Kaldur. No different than how I would.” Raquel shook her head. “I’ll have a word with her to lay off, but don’t take your frustrations out on the newbie because she annoys you.” She crossed her arms.
Kaldur sighed, dropping his shoulders. “I…You are right.” He pinched the bridge of his nose. “Check on her for me.” He met Raquel’s eye. “I will apologize to her once I have time to…calm down.”
Raquel nodded, patting Kaldur’s shoulder. “Don’t take what she does personally. I’m the one who recruited her. She’s sassy, but her heart is in the right place.” Raquel walked out of the room. Kaldur watched her go before heading toward the zeta tubes to go back to Atlantis.
***
You couldn’t believe you had survived this long in the League. After the first day, you assumed you would be pushed out, but here you were on your first official Justice League mission. You brushed off your brand new suit even though you received it only a hour before.
“(Y/N), are you paying attention?” Aqua Two snapped, nudging your arm as he passed. You jerked back into reality. He waved for you to follow him. You hurried along, smiling brightly at the thought of being partnered with Aqua Two. This is a chance to proof yourself to him.
“I am. Ready to join you on guard duty.” You nudged him back. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he led you toward the zeta tube. You knew you were annoying him again with just your eagerness, but you didn’t care. Today was the day.
***
“It’s not every day you get to see the president in person,” you said as you sat on the edge of the roof next to Aqua Two. “He looks taller on TV.”
Aqua Two hummed in response, standing next to you as he scanned the crowd below. The Justice League was asked to provide extra security for the president when intel about an assassination attempt was revealed. An assassination attempt by a super villain nevertheless.
“No sign of any suspicious activity over here,” Plastic Man reported through the comlink.
“Nothing here,” you said before Aqua Two could speak. He narrowed his eyes at you. You shrugged. “What? I can speak too. Otherwise, why give me a comm?”
“Quiet.” He turned away from you, studying the crowd below. You looked too. Several minutes of silence passed. The crowd grew as the president began his speech. You listened, smiling when the president cracked a joke to lighten the mood. Aqua Two’s eyes were on you. You glanced at him. He blushed when you caught him looking.
You gave him a smile before examining the other roof tops. Nothing seemed to be out of place until you saw a slight flash of light reflecting on metal. Moving fast, you threw one of your shurikens just in time to stop a throwing knife from hitting the President in the chest. The assassin stepped out of the shadows and made eye contact with you. “Brutale.”
Aqua Two was giving orders through the comms, but you weren’t paying attention. Suddenly, Brutale threw another knife, but toward you. You were about to duck only for Aqua Two to tackle you to the ground. “Pay attention,” he growled as he rolled off you quickly and jumped to his feet.
“I was.” You hopped to your feet to see Brutale still on the roof. “I’m going after him,” you said before turning to look at Aqua Two. He looked back at you with a hint of concern in his eyes.
“You’re not ready for this.” He grabbed your arm, squeezing tight. Out of the corner of your eye, you watched the president being escorted inside the building by Plastic Man and one of the other new recruits. Brutale watched the president before looking back at you.
You licked your lips. Brutale stepped back into the shadows. “I’m sorry, but I have to.” You jerked away from Aqua Two and fired your new grapple gun to give chase.
***
“Foolish,” Kaldur mumbled under his breath as he watched you go. He tapped his comm. “Is the president safe?”
“Yes, sir. The president is secure,” the recruit said. “Have we captured the assassin?”
“No, (Y/N) and I are in pursuit.” Kaldur ran for the fire escape and quickly climbed down the stairs. “Stay with the president.” He jumped down into the street, dodging the crowd when he saw you and Brutale fighting in the middle of the stage where the president had just been. Kaldur pushed past people, fighting his way to you. “(Y/N), I’m here. Keep him there.”
“Working on it,” you replied as you dodged several throwing knives. One nicked your cheek, but you kept fighting. Kaldur jumped into the fight. Brutale fell back once he realized he was outnumbered. Moving fast, he hopped into the crowd. You and Kaldur shared a quick look. Kaldur held up three fingers. You smiled before sprinting off to the right. Kaldur moved left. He felt proud you had memorized the signals so fast.
Brutale reached a motorcycle that was waiting for him on the street. He hopped on and drove off. “Crap.” You ran up next to Kaldur. Kaldur hummed, tapping his wrist to call his motorcycle. He had it hidden nearby, sensing it would be needed. Your eyes widened as it parked itself next to Kaldur. “Wow, do I get one of those?”
“Maybe. For now, you ride with me.” Kaldur climbed on. You eyed him before snuggling in behind him. Your arms tight around his waist. Kaldur felt a blush come to his cheeks. Luckily, you couldn’t see. Maybe you weren’t so annoying after all? Maybe even a little cute? He shook his head before zooming off after Brutale.
Kaldur followed Brutale closely. “Get alongside him,” you whispered. Kaldur tensed, feeling your breath on his ear. His body buzzed excitedly. He took a deep breath, pushing his thoughts aside. Brutale attempted to throw a few knives at Kaldur’s tires, but he dodged them.
Your arms left Kaldur’s waist. He felt your hands on his shoulders. A glance behind revealed you were standing on the motorcycle seat. “What are you doing?”
“I got this.” You patted his shoulder with one hand as he sped up to catch up with Brutale. Suddenly, you jumped onto Brutale’s cycle. He attempted to stab you, but you dodged it and attached yourself around his neck. Kaldur dropped back, watching worriedly.
With one jerk of the handles, Brutale’s motorcycle turned sharply, sending you and Brutale into the air. The cycle rolled several time. Kaldur slammed on his brakes. His heart stopped when he saw you hit the ground. The cycle flew over you and landed on Brutale who crashed on the ground after you. He heard a terrible snap.
“(Y/N)?!” Kaldur dropped his motorcycle and ran to your side. He tapped his comm. “We need medical assistance immediately.” Kaldur checked your pulse. He frowned at the blood pooling by your head. “(Y/N)? Can you hear me?”
You moaned, opening your eyes. “That hurt.” Your lips cracked that annoying, yet wonderful smile. “Did we get Brutale?”
“Yes, he is over there.” Kaldur glanced over at him. Brutale moved slightly, but he wasn’t going to be able to get away. Kaldur focused his attention back on you when you hissed. “Don’t move.”
“I think I broke my arm, Aqua Two.” You grinned when Kaldur narrowed his eyes.
“Hush now.” Kaldur sighed in relief as an ambulance arrived. “Never do anything like that again.”
“We got him,” you said, closing your eyes.
“You got him.” Kaldur pulled away as the paramedic came up. He went over to join the paramedic by Brutale to make sure he didn’t try to escape. Your laughter filled his ears and he knew you’d be okay.
***
A few hours later, you laid in your hospital bed. The TV played some old western. You watched it listlessly, wishing the pain in your body to go away. Apparently, they gave you some drugs, but the pain was still there.
A knock on the door frame cheered you up. You grinned, looking over at the door to see Aqua Two standing there with a bouquet of flowers. A smile pulled at your lips. Did he really get your flowers?
“Hi,” you said when he didn’t move, staring at your cast.
“Hello.” He shook his head, stepping inside. “The doctor said you are alright.”
“Yeah, just some broken bones. They want to keep me overnight for observation.” You gestured to the chair with your good arm. He took the seat before handing you the flowers. “Thank you.” You held them to your nose, breathing in their scent.
“I was told flowers are a customary gift for an injured person.” Aqua Two smiled tightly as you set the flowers in your lap. “How are you feeling?”
“Good. The painkillers aren’t kicking in super fast, but I’ll live.” You leaned back against your pillows. “Is Brutale in custody?”
Aqua Two nodded. “He is. You did a good job.”
You smiled, thinking it was only a few weeks ago when he was punishing you for being cheeky. “You did too. Couldn’t have done it if you weren’t driving.”
A nurse came in to check on your vitals. She glanced between you and Aqua Two. You bit your lip while Aqua Two blushed. “Everything looks good. Call us if you need anything,” the nurse said, sending you a wink as she shut the door to your room behind her.
“Tomorrow…” Aqua Two stopped and cleared his throat. Eyes on the floor. You watched him, smiling happily. “Would you allow me to escort you home from the hospital tomorrow?”
You reached out to take his hand. “I would appreciate that.” Your heart skipped a beat, his hand felt so strong. “Thanks Aqua Two.”
“Kaldur.” You blinked in surprise. He looked up at you, a hint of a smile pulling at his lips. “You may call me Kaldur.”
“Kaldur,” you said, testing the name on your lips. You liked it. He entwined his fingers with yours. Your skin electrized at the touch. “That’s a nice name.”
The two of you fell into conversation and the time slipped away. Eventually, you didn’t even notice the pain anymore.
mmmmmmm…yeah, I can’t draw proportionally or shade for the life of me but I tried! And I’m just an Edu major. please don’t hurt me
Just kept having this image in my mind and I thought, hey, that’d be cute.
Also, if Spitfire shippers are getting their panties all in a twist about who Wally ends up with, then I’m going to ship Linda Park with whoever I deem worthy.

Young Justice fans problem #232: Fans blaming what happened to Kaldur on Nightwing because he didn’t tell the whole team, when it was M'gann who brain blasted him.
Request by Anonymous
How is it Nightwing’s fault she is crossing lines and destroying people’s minds? That is on her.
And with that season 4 of Young Justice comes to a close
Spoilers
Ok first and foremost
Fucking called it!
Dick faking his death and slowing his heartbeat (taught by Batman)
Also Bart!!!
Anyways onto the fight scene,
I thought it was pretty good. I liked how everyone was fighting and seemed in a way dynamic (is that the word I’m looking for?) What I’m trying to say it flowed great
My heart when Conner remembered his family from the scene when he and Clark talked back in season 1 but also him meeting the Kent’s and him being brought in and then Conner meeting Jonny (also conformation that it IS Jonathan Samuel Kent (the Jon from Super Sons) and not some random son of Superman named Jon (there are many of those)
I love that Dick told M’gann to go off on these clowns and unleash her demigoddess
And she did
I love that we got to see her go off but like also keep in control. Like you can tell that she is at full force but isn’t loosing control like she did when she was younger.
I am so glad M’comm didn’t kill Danny. I was worried there for a second. Then he started fighting and he got to fight M’comm in his mind himself.
I love that Bart after being held prisoner for days?weeks? He’s running around and it just made me smile
Till he got hit and Artemis called him kid
I love the Artemis and Dick team up!
Also when Conner didn’t “recognize Kaldur as family” I was like yeah it the beard
When M’comm fell into the boom tube to the phantom zone and M’gann said that he was happy that Conner died was just hit me so hard.
Rocket coming in hot
I was not expecting that! It was great!
I love how Metron is just like so chaotic and like so petty.
And I completely forgot about the smudge stain on the wall in the cave. I just wrote it off like that’s just a red herring or something. But the fact that it was Lor Zod made me so happy(?) because the story came like full circle kinda.
The sunrise at the end of the fight signaling a new day (a new *fill in the blank*) was pretty.
So the Villains got their own planets
M’comm got Durla which coincidently is Chameleon Boy’s home planet. They’re both shapeshifters but what is this mean in the grand scheme of things? Like we can assume that the A’ashenn become the race Chameleon Boy is. So should we assume that maybe the G’arrunn and the B’lahdenn become another race too? I heard about the theory that Saturn Girl is a descendent of M’gann so maybe?
Then we got Daxxam and Ursa. I don’t know what she’s going to do? But I do know and was thinking of this since he was first introduced, Lor Zod is Chris Kent and he is an adopted son of Lois and Clark. So that might still happen.
I loved the little moment we got with the Kent’s breaking the news about Conner to Jon and the video message of the wedding.
Everyone is at the wedding!
M’gann’s parents are here! With her sister! I love the conclusion we got with her sister saying that she’s decided to change her name back to M’ree M’orzz. I wished we got to see her more.
Gar talked to Perdita and I liked it. Perdita saying that she still loved Gar and forgives him but has moved on and so should he. It was a nice moment. While I would love for them to get back together, I also love that even though you love a person you can move on from someone and take yourself out of a relationship after a bad situation. Plus it didn’t make it seem like she is required to get back together with him just because he apologizes. Gar’s not a bad person and she knows that. But she has moved on and I think they’ll be friends.
I wonder if the break up is setting up Raven? Possible but maybe not
Also we now know that the future is back on and Conner still has his role as doing something very importaint.
Any guesses?
You know how I said everyone was at the wedding well…
ICICLE JR IS HERE!!!!!
Oh my god! I’m SO glad he made it in this season! He’s crying too!
He also caught the bouquet. (Artemis’s (new) new love interest?!?)
Lucas making the classic wedding jokes
Jon running to give them their rings was so cute!!!
The speeches they gave about their love for one another was good!
Is Black Canary hinting at Heroes in Crisis?!?
Didn’t everyone hated that?!?
Cause if I remember correctly when it came out all of you were yelling
Anyways I’m not complete sure my memory is right on that but what I remember clearly is that WALLY WEST appears in that!
Also Wally kills people
But WALLY WEST is in that ALIVE
Also why is this Black Canary’s reasoning? Like that is some people’s issues but that isn’t really the problem with someone like Gar. Gar was grieving. He was grieving poorly but grieving. He needed to be with people and to talk to them. Going to a place even if it would be more peaceful is not a guaranteed solution nor is it really a solution. It could help the solution but it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day where you get help or only matters if and what type of help you get. The reason why they have a lot of them have mental health issues is because they’re heroes. You need to find a solution to that. Not worry about how many.
That after credits scene
For one finally got an update of Mary. I’m happy they didn’t leave us hanging till next season (is there a next season?!?)
But the bigger deal is
Kara is here and I have so many questions like why was she in the Phantom Zone? Did Vandal Savage specifically chose her because he knew of her connection? Or was it a coincidence? Was it Klarion who picked her out?
Anyways overall a great season finale! It closed the some plots that had to be close this season but also hinted at more to come in the next.
I think this season was pretty good. Yes there were some problems but like at this point most shows do. While I do believe we can hope for better and expect better, I do think that this was pretty good (considering that they worked on this during the shut down I think). The arcs ranged from pretty good to great. I only really have a problem with two of the arcs. Well ones a problem and ones a question.
The problem I have with one of the arcs is Rocket’s. I just felt like it was really focused on the characters. Like the plot there was mostly set up and like everything else felt kinda well background. I did like Razer and the bugs and Rocket’s son, but I felt like it wasn’t really focused on any characters really and I know that probably sounds crazy because it probably is. Does anyone get what I’m trying to say? Like I can’t fully remember what happened besides Razer, Tomar-Re dying, Forager becoming a Green Lantern, Jay being great, Amistad being amazing, the legion and Bart and like that’s it. It just felt weaker than the others.
The question is how does Artemis’s fit into this? Like everyone had call backs to their arcs but like Artemis had none. It’s like hers could be taken away and it wouldn’t affect the plot. And that makes me mad because I loved her part. But I felt like there had to be something there and the only thing is the ending with for one Ra’s doing what Dinah talked about in a way and that ending scene with Lady Shiva and Talia looking evil which means they’re future villains. I guess? Unknown. This has me worried about what they have in store for Jason and Damian. What are your thoughts on how her arc fits?
OMG They delivered a great start to Dick’s arc. Like I got worried for a second that after Rocket’s plush arc, Dick’s might suffer as well. In a way I’m happy that it started, but like I cared more about what was happening in this episode than I did in Rocket’s arc.
For starters, Flying Dick Grayson (aka Dan Danger) is back. I’m just in love with the idea that Dick goes back to being a Flying Grayson every now and then. I live for more acrobat acrobat Dick Grayson, even though we see him as an acrobatNightwing. I just need more performances from Dick is that too much to ask?
Also I was screaming for a net. I know he doesn’t need one, but you know
Trauma
Anyways, I love the whole enforcing not only the acrobat part of Dick’s character but also the detective. I feel like we don’t really get to see enough of him being a detective anymore (from any of the bats really) so I’m glad to see it here.
I love how they sat next to Clark and was like “Superman” without looking at him. Like they could have just been like “hey Clark got a minute?” But they had to be dramatic I love it!
Clark is not giving into peer pressure
Good for him!
This reminds me he’s kinda like Bart now.
I love how that’s how they got the entire group back together again. It worked seamlessly.
Kaldur took a needed month off (I think he should have taken more but sometimes having too much time off is bad too).
“Wyynde loves the look” made me laugh so hard
Also is Admistad wearing a Red Robin outfit or is it just me? Did Tim become Red Robin?
When I was watching them all get together, I was thinking don’t get Miss Martian involved please, and I’m glad they didn’t. Do you know how much trauma she would be in if she heard there might be a chance her husband is alive? Like I know he is alive but like she’s still mourning him and I feel like that’s something you tell someone when your absolutely sure.
Barbara mentioned as an amazing hacker! Love it!
Also the Bart Allen is missing alert. I’m like amazed that they do that. I’ve never thought about it but do you know how useful that could be. I wonder what other times that has been used.
I’m also crying because Jay had to call in to find his speedster teen
I’m crying think about when he decided to say he was missing. How long did he wait? Did he think he was with the outsiders for a bit? Did he have yo call the outsiders to find out he wasn’t with them?
But back to Bart’s time traveling adventures
His thought to go run and grab a collar and put it around Lor Zod’s neck with a determined look on his face like this isn’t the jokester he pretends to be. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this but Bart is almost like a completely different person than the one he acts. I’ve noticed this back in season 2 and I’m kinda glad that they remembered it because I don’t really see this type of character a lot.
When Lor Zod put a collar around Bart’s neck, I screamed. The trauma he faced when he was younger and all the effort he did to change the future only to then be placed back into the same position he was in made me want to yell at the unfairness of it.
I really hope we get to see some memories/backstory/trauma of Bart’s future. Like I know it’s probably not important but I would like to see more of him.
Also Lor Zod is basically abusing Bio ship. He needs to just get his ass kicked by someone already.
Maybe Miss Martian
The fight between the OG team and Klarion was pretty cool.
Also baby Teekl is so cute!!!
Klarion’s opening speech about contacting him only to stop when he realized who it was got me laughing hard. Does he do that every time? How many times does Teekl interrupt him when he does it? Are people intimidated by it? When I saw it I was like yeah ok Klarion you think you’re scary.
Magic School bus? I wonder who’s going to be Miss Frizzle and who’s going to be Arnold?
Phantom girl finally wakes up. I wonder how she is going to get them out without getting caught.
Also I’m getting the vibe that Ursa is going to be more of a threat to them than Dru and I don’t know how to explain it.
Also Conner thinks he killed Clark? Poor Conner. He’s suffering and he doesn’t remember everything.
Does he remember who M’gann is?!?
Also House of Luther,
I almost died.
But they mentioned Kara!
Indirectly but still! She’s in the universe!
At the end when they found signs of life in Kaizer Thrall, at first I thought it was Kara because she was mentioned and also they’re doing Kryptonians.
But then they said human and male and 11 and I was like who could that possibly be? We were all hoping for Wally to return this season but that can’t be him unless he de-aged but that’s highly unlikely even with the powers of a speedster because it’s kinda odd to do that.
I got busy there with school and finished the 1st part during the break but didn’t blog but you probably don’t care. Anyways, I’m so excited it’s back!
***Also spoilers***
Episode 14:
Ok first I love that we’re getting more into Atlantis and Aquaman lore. I don’t know much about it but I am interested in how this arc is going to go.
I love how they do mention that Kaldur has been working really hard from going undercover to becoming Aquaman without anytime to breathe
I like that they’re including more of Dolphin and more on the culture of Atlantis
I love how they brought up Wyynde’s past. I only knew about what happened from you guys, so I’m glad it was included so everyone’s on roughly the same page of who he is. Plus the fact about how people change their beliefs on what’s right is great.
Also I love how it’s getting a bit on the politics side of Atlantis. Call me a weirdo but I like learning stuff about that because I like the parallels in our world.
They dropped more on Kaldur’s backstory with his adoptive dad. I love that Kaldur stated that it doesn’t matter who his bio dad is, all that matters is the one who raised him.
Also like I said I’m not 109% familiar with Aquaman’s lore but why is Mera’s dad not caring?
So we see La’gaan playing with Arthur which was really cute. Then he has a moment with his wife, and I was like ok he’s moved on from M’gann and is happy good to know. I’m glad we got an update on him. But then during the fight scene Coral was like I have to help my husband. I was so confused I was like was this an accident or something. Then La’gaan was like my wife and husband are in danger. And I started screaming. I was not expecting a poly relationship. Like I’m so happy but the fight was going on so I was like can you guys calm down for a sec I’m fangirling here. I love how it’s really casual. That’s the representation I love.
Also Atlanteans are doing great in representation: Adoptive families, Same sex couples, Poly relationships… like I’m so happy I can’t communicate sorry
Ok next is Conner’s part. I like that he’s not completely freaking out and he’s trying to help the girl in a coma. He’s all alone but he’s talking to her is just something I would do in that situation. I’m not excatly sure what’s going on but I’m excited yo find out.
Halo’s part… OMG I’m so happy. Like I love this representation of Islam culture and also immigrants from Islam. Troia gave them visas and Madia who is a doctor is having trouble finding work at her level is just heartbreakingly real.
I do appreciate the interest Halo has about learning who they are as a person not Gabrielle. I love the conversation about should they wear the hijab because of religion and even gender. I feel like I now know a bit more about wearing a hijab. If anyone who does wear a hijab, was this an accurate portrayal?
The talk about God and Granny Goodness… like that is such a good explanation on why worship a god and who to worship in general. You could apply that to anyone: a god or a person.
Halo talking about discovering their gender and what pronouns are meant to be at the end is just great.
I feel like people are going to mention how it was scattered because of the three plots together, but I kinda liked it because it wasn’t like we had to sit through a political meeting or Conner having a one way conversation for 20 minutes. It was evenly distributed between the three more or less.
Overall was not expecting poly relationship and Islamic faith representation but I’m all for it. Can’t wait to watch the next one to see the Kaldur arc continue.
Episode 15
Ok so first off, I laughed so hard when Clark was trying to pretend he wasn’t Superman and Saturn Girl looked at him and was like ok?
So with the thing about Superboy being there either it’s still wrong because technically he’s not in the same dimension or something where ever he is and they will go back to their time or possibly it’s the wrong Superboy and it’s Jonny because in 10 years that’s around the time he pick up the mantle and all that but this one is unlikely because how can you make that kind of mistake?
Also Bioship!
On Kaldur’s childhood, I love how he thinks of his parents in a good light even though their life wasn’t good. They were bad parents but they’re good people because they gave him love. Like they weren’t “abusive”, but were unable to take care of a kid. I’m glad that they do admit their faults in raising him and how he got to where he is today by taking on too much. I like how they are proud but are more worried about him as a person and not his achievements
I feel like King Authur is feeling like he isn’t a hero or who he was when he was Aquaman and he wants to go back and be more “useful” I wonder if we’ll see more of it.
So things about the two big reveal:
The son of Vandal Savage, first king of Atlantis, lord of order, Arion has appeared and… I think he’s not the rightful ruler. I feel like he’s going to go to Vandal at the end of the arc or something. But I’m getting the feeling it’s going to be Arthur (king or jr) or Kaldur. I just can’t trust him. There’s something off. He’s probably not working for Orm but like there’s something off.
And finally OH MY GOD they need to talk to Bart?!? I’m so scared like what’s going to happen. I kinda don’t want him to be taken to the further with them but also I kinda do? Like I think it would be interesting but also no?
Episode 16:
Ok so let’s talk about Conner’s visions to motivate him to keep jumping. This is probably his subconscious telling him to keep going and where ever he is can manifest thought or just has a connection with the mind. So I found the M’gann part so cute. It was her at different points in her life. I also forgot to mention that I really like the part about a happy and calm memory got the monster away because he stopping being angry which comes to play in the third person he sees. I was like aww then oh my god! I think it was Match or what Conner believes what he could be/been. That caught me off guard though.
Also Wally… they keep name dropping him and all this other stuff. I understand that it doesn’t mean he’s coming back but… there’s been a bit more of here then season 3 if I remember correctly or just feels like it. I don’t know maybe they’re messing with us.
Ok let’s now talk about Beast boy and his on going battle
I really love Jaime and Virgil how they had it all planned out and were trying to help. I just really liked how it was kind of how it would be realistically with your friend. I don’t know, I just love the energy they were giving off when they did that.
I think the one that really hit me was Cliff because it was just so moving. He was asking Gar to get help and let him help him because he was there when the Doom Patrol died. By the way, I want more of an explanation on what happened, but that’s not the point right now. To me his part just seemed so real. It’s not like the other weren’t, it’s just this seemed different from the others and I’m not sure why.
Ok before I going on about how I was right to have bad feelings about Arion, let’s talk about everything else in Atlantis
So I love the poly marriage La’gaan got with the baby on the way! But the whole we don’t say good bye thing is a big red flag. Someone’s dying next episode like no playing.
It could be Arthur that does but more on that later.
I love Wyynde. Wyynde trying to convince Kaldur that he’s pushing himself. My favorite part is when after he was like telling Dolphin to ask for help and she asked him who will help you and Wyynde shouts “Thank you!” I laughed so hard
King Arthur is doing his best to be “useful” or what I really mean is being Aquaman again. I love the sharks he called in to back him up. He is still on his game. It’s kinda sad that he visited the prison 16 times but never went in.
To be honest, I wasn’t thinking clone but I don’t really know what I was thinking when I knew his head was cut off by Lady Shiva. Maybe oh he just got better? I’m so dumb
I have no idea who Arion is. I have a feeling he’s not the real him but then again he could be because we know he at least had immortality at one point but I’m pretty sure he’s an imposter trying to take the throne and maybe crown.
I have a feeling that Arthur might die and Kaldur who has had to take on many roles has to decide if he wants to be in charge, since they are focusing heavily on that side of his character- taking a lot of responsibility when he’s struggling.
Also what is happening with Bart. I need that answered next please! I’m worried…
