Decided to catch up on Young Justice. I left off about halfway through the first season and stopped when I missed an episode and was to lazy to go watch it online.

It has to get better later or something because right now it is boring.

Though the first thing I noticed that made me worried is that they changed the gender of one of the super heros probably because they were too sexual or something (Or, maybe something good... like that hero at that time in the comics was male).

So. I'm trying out Gargoyles. I've been told I should skip the third season, since the creator left at that point and it went downhill.

Anyone here seen it and have an opinion on that?

Season 3 really went downhill. Haven't watched ALL of them, but they are seriously lacking quality. The animation looks like something from the 80s, the themes are rather childish. I think one episode focused entirely on the gargoyle dog getting lost having silly Lassie-style adventures.

There might be one or two gems hidden in all that crap but I wouldn't count on it. The series is best followed by the comic books sequel.

Zatanna is in their and she is female.  You probably saw an episode with her father, Zattara or something.

I can't comment on season 3 in particular, but as a whole I enjoyed Gargoyles immensely.  I'd highly recommend it.

Of course, as things typically go, I'd watch season 3 anyway, just so I knew what happened and could appreciate how much better the earlier seasons were, if so.  I'm kind of reminded of season 4 of Reboot, which was all kinds of strange compared to 1-3.

You know I realised two things about Captain Planet

1) The villains would be a lot more effective if they stuck to legal ways of destroying the planet
and
2) The heros would be a lot more effective if they shared their high-efficiency ecofriendly technology with the world. They never EVER explain why they don't just teach the world how to make Ecofliers or Ecosubs inspite of the fact that they would solve the entire reason why we don't use ecofriendly energy.

Dear goodness the sheer amount of episodes that are sustained on stupid amazes me. I just heard "Note to self: call the police" in captain planet... in which my response was "You didn't call the police!?!"

Are you saying their building refrigerators just to break them open and leak out chemicals destroy the ozone is unrealistic?

What about the polution monster made of smog?

Also unrealistic parts is fine. I don't mean sustained on stupid as in "This is stupid" I mean as in the characters are acting stupid.

Well yeah if you want to look at the series in a serious manner, the villains doing utterly stupid things is a weakness of the premise. They do it solely to try to send a green message to viewers and the writers did nothing to cover up that fact.

But this sort of thing tends to be one of those nitpicks most people look over; even in a (slightly) more "serious" setting like Superman, Lex Luthor would make a hell of a lot more money if he stuck to legal methods. Maybe the villains are actually truly nuts, or maybe they're just bad because they want to be bad. Or maybe it's just bad writing.


Makes me wonder if a captain planet revival that took a deconstructive view at the universe would fly. It'd be interesting, to say the least.

Lex now adays does actually run a perfectly legitimate buisness. He just does a lot of illegal stuff on the side.

Hmmm of the Captain Planet villains:
-Dr. Blight: Possibly insane. She has a backstory that is never actually touched upon but it hints that she may have once been a good person. She started off as a pretty big threat (one of the only villains who could legitimately give Captain Planet trouble)
-Hoggish Greedly: Wants to be bad and is pathologically greedy (so insane too)
-Scuum: Insane, possibly from his mutations. He started off legitimately threatening.
-Lutin and Plunder: Just Greedy.
-The Garbage man (forgot name): Greedy. He likes to slash costs by pouring garbage everywhere.
-Duke Nukem: Power hungry. He is legitimately empowered by radiation, he just doesn't care who he hurts doing so.
--These arn't all the villains

Of the most effective villains... they are Dr. Blight, Scuum, and Lutin.

I don't know... Captain Planet is already so absolutely absurdly awsome as it is.

Though to admit... I could easily see Captain Planet being legitimately good. I mean five teens who are given elemental rings fighting super villains with the ability to summon up an even greater hero? Plus with greek gods thrown in (Captain Planet is technically a greek god, same with Captain polution)

Ok here is a scene

Wheeler is lying on the grass drenched head to toe in his swimming trunks. Ma-Ti standing over him. Gaia calls and goes "I don't want to know"

What do you think?
