Hm...couple reviews of Young Justice.
To each their own, but IMO the first one overestimates the good points, while the second one overstates the bad parts.
The far bigger problem over "*gasp* girls baking cookies for BOYS" (...seriously....I've actually read Teen Titans...Miss Martian seems like she'd bake cookies...I'm sorry?) or "no girl characters until episode 3" (in which the girl is the focus point of the episode and both comes up with the idea to and takes out the bad guy almost entirely by herself) is that these characters, Aqualad and Megan aside, are rather unlikeable. Even Robin. I like quips but...FUNNY quips.
Meanwhile...to compare Avengers: EHM to this...overarching plots are neat and all, but they don't make a show great on their own. YJ feels like the DCU in a single comic book, where there's far too much going on sometimes and we could use a spin-off. Avengers has a large cast too, but I feel like I've actually gotten to know everybody important...mainly because they didn't throw the X-Men at me in the first episode and then take them away (while keeping them around in offhand mentions and secret identity conversations).
I think I fall squarely in the middle of those two reviews, which is new for me.
Speaking of that...the Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne scene is my favorite of this series so far. Am I a bad person for this?
