I didn't know Jason O'Mara ever played Batman, but I like him as an actor otherwise.

I tend not to watch the DC animated movies so I'm not familiar with him. He's been good in most of the stuff I've seen actually seen him in. Maybe voice acting just isn't his strength.

His Batman feels very bland, but to be fair to him, the writing on the new animated DC stuff tends to not be very good. I wouldn't put that on him until I saw him given a good movie to work with and have him be one of the worst things in it. He's better than the Damien VO.

The writing on all of the latest DC Animated stuff has been so loving abysmal that I would feel hard pressed to blame any of the actors for lackluster performance, there's only so much you can do.

I hadn't joined SA until much after YJ was cancelled. I thought Young Justice was one of those "Cancelled before its time" shows in most circles. I know nobody asked for my hot take on it, but I thought YJ S1 was great. S2 did a really unnecessary time skip that I think threw off the pacing of everything. Gave us loads of characters that couldn't get developed in the short amount of time. The plot was a bit silly. But it wasn't trash or anything. Honestly that moment in S1 where all the characters have their lies revealed and they just talk it out instead of going all melodrama made the entire thing worth it to me.

I think if the recent DTV movies had been better Young Justice would largely be forgotten, it wasn't horrible but I'd stop before calling it good.

Funny enough, what made people super turn on it was: quote:S2 did a really unnecessary time skip that I think threw off the pacing of everything. Gave us loads of characters that couldn't get developed in the short amount of time. The plot was a bit silly. S2 was dicked around a lot, with delays and poo poo from CN. That wore people that tuned in, as did "Yesssssssssssss. All goes according to The Light" since there was literally nothing that the team could do that wouldn't somehow be in service of The Light and their plan. Also, the guy behind it was the same dude that did Gargoyles... so while there was an overall arc going on, it was plotted out to like 7 seasons and the dude's been all "I can't tell you what was going to happen WHAT IF IT GETS RENEWED IT WOULD SPOIL EVERYTHING"

"So who wants to admit their big secret next?" "I guess I will." "I swear I was joking." Personally I'd rate it "worse than BTAS, but that's an awfully high bar." It had stuff I liked and stuff I didn't. S2 time skip aside, I thought the Cabal pulled off one of the better "even if we lose we win" schemes I've seen from shows that have tried it.

I genuinely liked YJ, even though it wasn't perfect. There are definitely plenty of people on SA that seemed to really dislike it, mostly for its writing. I think he most common complaint was the constant "everything is going according to plan" from the villains after like every episode. And I guess people didn't like the relationship problems between characters? S1 the big complaint was also the catch phrases. I'd take all of those flaws over the DTV stuff we have now. Also, YJ had better animation than the DTV stuff does. Some of the fight scenes were really well animated.

Bruceski posted:Personally I'd rate it "worse than BTAS, but that's an awfully high bar." Yeah, that's where I'm at with it. Putting animated shows up against the DCAU seems unfair to me entirely. I liked YJ a fair bit though. Upon you guys mentioning it I can see how the villain thing would be annoying. That was one of my chief complaints with the newest season of Orange is the New Black, actually. I thought the catchphrases were endearing, but I find that I'm more forgiving of cartoons than others. I'll admit full flush that a lot of my memories of loving YJ are from Season 1. It had one of my favorite season finales. And a lot of the singular episodes had some beats that I'm just not used to seeing in cartoons like the episode where Canary gave the entire team a psych eval. Seeing Superman be so unequipped for a situation that he can't help but to just run away from it every time he encounters it. The Season 2 timeskip was a poor choice, but I'm also a person who gets super excited to see Wonder Girl be a thing in cartoons. And Actual Best Character (TM) Nightwing and Impulse and Static. The beats in Season 2 weren't as good. But one season up and one season in the middle (if not down) to me would call for a 3rd. I would've liked to have seen where it went. I can't get passed it though. I'd really like to ask the creator why he made that choice. Like in Naruto a timeskip made sense because it was totally within reason to offscreen Naruto preparing to fight a villainous team of S-Class ninja. But in YJ Rocket and Zatana had only been on the team for like 3 episodes. Post timeskip they're on the official League and we don't really ever see them again. At least not in the same capacity.

ToastyPotato posted:So the official synopsis of AoS S4 says SHIELD will be a fully public agency again (thought the general public, who did not really know of Coulson, thinks he is still dead for some reason, hence the new director) I guess that will be the final nail in the coffin for the cross continuity if SHIELD doesn't start popping up in the movies again. It's also funny because you'd think the Avengers, and Cap and Widow specifically, would have something to say about SHIELD starting up again after Fury disbanded it. RIP "it's all connected." They have like 2 years before any movies would reference SHIELD again because the next 3 (Dr Strange, GotG2 and Thor) have pretty much nothing to do with that stuff.

True. I guess Spider-Man would technically be the next up that would mention them in any capacity. Also damning will probably be how the Netflix shows will continue to ignore everything about AoS as well though. You could argue that most of this season will probably be West Coast based sine Ghost Rider is in LA. I suppose. Isn't The Defenders slated to air around the time Spider-Man releases more or less? That's funny too.

Daredevil has had some minor SHIELD references. Matt and Daisy lived at the same orphanage (for some time anyway, not known if together). And Crusher Creel has made several appearances on-screen appearances in AOS and had off-screen appearances and mentions in Daredevil Season 1. But considering that the movies themselves, or at least the Whedon Avengers movies, do their best to ignore solo films, I don't see why people think this is an insult when TV shows don't get mentioned when it is pretty rare that the movies get meaningful mentions within other movies.

With the possible exception of IM3, pretty much all of the movies have been directly related in some way, whether sharing characters or carrying over plot points. And even IM3 referenced Avengers.

So stuff like this, along with producers saying "they are thematically linked" is a pretty big admission and a change in the status quo.
