Still Hope For YOUNG JUSTICE?

[frick] CN

Let it end.

It started to decline after the awesome premiere but went down after season one when the team dynamic just radically shifted.

Time jumps to the future, a bunch of new characters a lot of which were either just window dressing or had one line (Did Wonder or Bat Girl even need to be there?), tons of unresolved/dangling plot threads (that had a speedy resolution in the finale with the "we knew, you knew, that we knew" garbage), and a silly drawn out 'Reach' arc that wasn't interesting and highly predictable.

It was just kind of all over the place and then quickly closed up with exposition at the end.

Was the artwork slick and were the fights cool? Was it awesome to see these characters in an animated series?

Yes.

However since most of the characters were seen not heard, it really made no difference. It lost focus and it needed to end.

Just my opinion.

@omnivium, I'ts not rocket science, but it is business. I work as a designer in the animation industry and let me tell you, it's not easy at all. The amount of time and money it takes to make something as high quality as YJ is incredible and when you blow a production budget on making something visually that good, merch sometimes is an after thought, but still a need to make money.

Toys aren't as cool as they were in the 90s because the market has changed and kids don't care about action figures like we did. But still, they have to sell things to continue making more. If I like a show, even if I don't care for the merch, I try to contribute because as a production worker, I know what goes into it and if I want to see the production continue, money has to come in or else the studio will cut it.

Remember, the studios aren't run by artists anymore, they are run by suits who care about the bottom line. Investors want their money back, that's what they care about. If they don't see the return, they will shut the project down.

No matter what, if we want shows like these to say on, we HAVE to support them. Another things is the fact that people stream them and not watch them live so they get less ratings in via TV than they should. If I stream a show that I love, I buy the season on DVD so that I've done my part. You gotta support the shows you love, or else they'll get shut down.

if it means getting the show back, i'll buy the game.it bridges the gap anyhow.

i'd personally bring it back on a different channel. CN clearly didn't appreciate it's value to an older buying market.

ya this needs to come back i WAS fine with seeing it go while watching the last episode then mogul took the war world to dark seid and i was throught the roof!! please one more season to wrap it up n GL pickd up quite a bit but it had closuire ended well

I want a Superman cartoon.

I Prefer only YJ, Green lanturn was Meh!!!
Id Prefer a GL Cartoon by The same Artist from YJ.

Even with the time shift the show was still great because they continued to have great stories for all the episodes. But YJ needs an hour each episode because all of their characters are great and all need to shine just like the Justice League Unlimited.

I was planning to buy the Young Justice video game anyway.

@ Indigobolt956,

In a weird, round about way they did if you consider the DC Multiverse. DC Comics actually designed Young Justice as Earth 16 and the DCAU as Earth 12. Of course, this was pre-Flashpoint. The entire history of the universe was rewritten by Pandora so that the DCU, the DC Vertigo characters, Wildstorm, etc. all had a shared history rather than existed as parallel realities.

As such, I'm pretty sure the old post-Infinite Crisis 52 Earth multiverse as it stood before Flashpoint might be out. Seeing as James Robinson's Earth 2 doesn't resemble the "new" Earth 2 depicted in JSA after Infinite Crisis, I think it's pretty much a done deal.

It's kind of sad actually, as Kingdom Come, The Dark Knight Returns, Gotham By Gaslight and various other Elseworlds actually had a place in the expanded DCU and weren't just hypothetical.

But I can understand what he means and it'd be kind of counterproductive, as a Post-"Animated" Flashpoint reboot of YJ would mean the pre-Flashpoint YJ never happened and wouldn't serve a new show anyhow.

Yeah I was at that panel and it was very interesting to hear the whole story more or less. Especially the whole reality and reasons as to why the show was cancelled. I still remain optimistic, but at this rate it does seem rather grim unfortunately when it comes to the shows future. It was funny booing Khary Payton though about the whole Teen Titans Go show :D hahaha!

@TruthNoFodder, the target goal is $10 million for one season of Young Justice. It is explained in a letter that was written to by the folks at SMGO.tv and is posted on their website.

Furthermore, I call BS on your claim that the producers said to buy the paraphernalia to bring the show back. If that were the case, then that stuff should have been ready before the show started (I seriously doubt that they make $10 million on the tie-in comic books either). Television Networks like Cartoon Network make their money primarily through contracts with distribution affiliates who offer the programing to subscribers and through the sale of advertising. If a show does not get good ratings then advertisers will not pay the asking price to advertise in that time slot and, hence the show will get canceled and replaced by one that will. It is ludicrous to say that they do not care if no one watches the show since advertisers would obviously shy away from the network due to poor ratings and heads at the network would roll.

Personally I'd like to see it back, this teen titan go is the biggest bunch of crap out there! This merchandise excuse is just that! Do they honestly think someone will buy that crap! So no that's not the issue. It all comes down to dollars; more to pay all the animators that did YJ instead of paying some high school kid who is doing the animation for TTG which is a steamy pile of S H I T!!!

I'd like to see Green Lantern return. I could care less about Young Justice, especially after it unofficially became The Jaime Reyes Show.

If this works...I'm willing to buy that god-awful game...nah I'm joking, I'm not spending my money on that piece of shit, but Ido want the show back.

I mourn the loss of YJ and GLAS every time I go through the shows on my DVR.

Sounds like Wolverine and the X-Men all over again.

Young Justice Unlimited -- make it so! https://www.facebook.com/notes/jeremy-couch/young-justice-unlimited/562836140408313
