Feeling very violent rn so here's a very controversial opinion:

Everything after season one of Young Justice sucked.

Look, I know I'm obsessed with the show but that doesn't mean it's good, it means that I'm too deep into it at this point to get out. There are good moments within the other seasons but in general? They were not good.

I'm sorry. I understand that they wanted to be creative and have a neat narrative and deep lore and all that. And they do! The narrative and lore is extremely deep.

But the plot? The characters??

Season one was an actual functional show that balanced character development, plot and dialogue with world building, lore and messaging.

The other seasons do not do that.

Season two bounced back and forth between like 16 characters. We got some development for some characters but even that was minimal compared to the character development in S1. And this isn't me complaining that the og group wasn't in S2 enough. That's not my issue. I would've loved to focus on a new group and I think that Jaime, Bart, Ed and Gar would've been super cool to focus on. I loved what character development they did have and I craved more.

But the problem? The problem is when you have 16 fucking characters that you are trying to develop and shove into a coherent plot and have actual meaningful scenes. There just wasn't enough focus on S2. Imo, S2 was meh because the characters got left by the wayside. The plot, dialogue, world building, lore and messaging was fine, there just seemed to be a lack of heart/warmth in the show because of the characters. It's hard to get invested.

Then holy shit. S3 introduced more characters. And the plot got more contrived and 'big picture' to the point that it started to abstract. It felt like nothing mattered. There were no stakes, you were just watching things happen. There was 50 fucking things happening an episode and 80% of it was lore/world building. It felt like I was studying for a fictional history exam.

I'm pretty sure the main character in S3 was earth 16. Just the entire universe. Because goddamn. We checked in on almost every living being and EVERYTHING was a plot point. Most of it wasn't even relevant to anything happening in the season. Man it was.... it was bad.

And at that point it just wasn't enjoyable at all to watch. I probably should've stopped watching but at that point the sunk cost fallacy had already kicked in. I knew it could be good. Maybe it could be good again. And people were constantly praising it as cinematic genius so I was like 'okay well maybe I'm missing the point? Maybe you aren't supposed to enjoy shows? Maybe this is fine?'

But season four broke me.

The creators heard that people were frustrated by the lack of character focus and the episodes following 72 characters and the episodes switching between 50 different subplots every episode and their solution? Their solution was to take allllllll the different unconnected plots and, instead of evenly spreading them throughout the season, jam them all into 'arcs'. So you had a bunch of mini seasons consisting of 3-5 episodes dedicated to a cast of ~5-8 characters (some of them new). And each of these episodes had unconnected a plots, b plots and c plots.

THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION

Holy shit that is not a solution.

Not to mention the overarching plot of the season, in which we had no fucking clue what was happening until the final episodes where everything became a speedrun to wrap everything up. We literally had no idea what the main plot was until it was ending.

Good god it was bad. It's bad writing!

I know people liked it and good for them. You should like what you like and you don't have to justify it. But for me it was insanity. I'm sorry I actually don't want a season long subplot where Beast Boy is depressed and sleeps all day. I would be cool with it if it had anything to do with the larger story but, surprisingly, spending five minutes watching Beast Boy sleep every episode didn't make for compelling storytelling.

I'm still not over how we didn't even know who the main villain was until the end of the season. And then all of a sudden he does a villain monologue to tell everyone his evil plan and his motives. Super cool actually. I love it when I have no idea what the stakes are for the majority of a show. It's incredibly good storytelling when you leave the audience in the dark about a major player in the plot for all of the plot. And then doing an info dump evil monologue in the final episodes to rush through the explanation??? Fucking fantastic and not a sign of terrible pacing at all.

I'm just so frustrated. The show isn't about being a show anymore. The show is an entire cinematic universe shoved into 20 something episodes. It's desperate to tell every single story at once, audience, pacing and good writing be damned.

I'm so tired of the constant praising of Greg. His whole 'i don't write endings because life doesn't have endings' and 'i don't write cliffhangers, I just leave things open ended' thing is pretentious bullshit. I'm tired of pretending it's not. A good story has an ending. Stories are not life! Some of the best shows I've ever watched had planned endings. And oh my god. The cliffhanger thing... that's just semantics my guy. Greg you write cliffhangers. You can insist they aren't but I'm going to call a spade a spade.

It's also.... I'm fine with explaining things, in fact I love it because it's an excuse to talk about the stuff I love, and I have a fairly decent knowledge of comic book lore. So, I could not only understand what was happening in the show but I was also super enthusiastic about explaining it to people. But hey Greg? Hey buddy? If 90% of your audience doesn't know what the fuck is going on and needs to be familiar with super specific obscure comic characters from the 70's then you might have a problem.

I think I realized halfway through s4 that the most enjoyment I got from an episode was when an obscure comic character would cameo in it. But then I realized that a) they generally weren't explained at all and b) 50% of the time they weren't just hanging out in the background and they were vital to the plot. So to understand who the fuck they were and what the fuck was happening you had to be familiar with... well all of DC comics actually.

Anyway this rant is getting long and unhinged and I don't think there's a point so I'm going to cut myself off even though I have so much more to say on the topic. I think my general point is just that I didn't enjoy watching the later seasons and it's chill if you did and we should all respect each other's opinions ✌️

#rant #oh also the messaging sucked #the messages itself were fine. like 'you should go to therapy if you are depressed' and 'respect people's religions' and #'figuring out your gender/sexual identity is chill af' #those are great messages. the content is great and i don't disagree #BUT HOLY FUCK #yo Zatara ranting about his religion to Fate for 15 minutes is not how you get a message across #messages are supposed to be like themes and subtle points of the narrative #it's not supposed to be a fucking psa where the characters just talk for half the episode and say the message verbatim to the audience #itd be like if in season one M'gann stood up and spent ten minutes talking about the damaging psychological effects of body image issues #and everyone else just sat there and nothing happened and M'gann just kinda spoke about it #or if Artemis was just like 'im going to do a presentation on why child abuse is bad' #its just. thats not. thats not how messages in a plot work #but they didn't develop the characters enough. so instead of s1 where the messages were blatantly obvious #we just had side character zatara who we know nothing about talk about religion like he was doing a PSA for kindergartners #because we don't know his character and he had zero focus so that was literally the only way to get the message across #and im sorry but that's bad writing. if you are sacrificing character plot and narrative for a message then maybe scrap the message #or you know actually have a developed character do the message. like write the message through a developed character so it doesn't #need to be spoonfed to the audience like we're five year olds learning different shapes from a teacher

its so fucking disheartening realising that no one actually sees me as a guy, they just pretend to - and yeah its great being called theo but its less great being lumped in as one of the girls in the same breath

#i dont mind being the only non-girl invited to something (like my sisters hens for example) bc that just feels like a Gay thing yknow #but when the invite is 'hey girls' its kind of hard to consider that you see me as anything else #and i think the worst part - and this is probably the part of me that lacks self respect - is that i get it. #i have long hair i dress 'fem' and the only steps ive managed to take in my transition are wearing a binder and going by a different name. #so sure. but its still gutting and makes me feel fucking /gross/ makes my stomach hurt and my skin crawl #because like. theyll call me theo and a brother and an uncle and a son but?? do they even mean it?? #do they actually believe what theyre saying or is everyone just going along with it because they dont want to look like assholes? #i almost prefer my uncle whos at least UPFRONT about not understanding it #like at least hes honest at least when he calls me a girl i expect it #i just wanna curl up w my nephew and read bc at least he doesnt even understand gender yet #to him i AM just his uncle and thats all he cares about #captain speaks

[ithoughtiwasthegayone]

just bc a trans person does something bad doesn't mean you get to misgender them

#not defending bad ppl it set a precedent that someones being is conditional #you don't do that to cis people #its not about respect #its effects the rest of the community that someone does something bad you can misgendered them #that if someones mad at me they misgender me when im not there #trans man #trans rights #trans #dont let one person fuck over everyone else #i don't have preferred pronouns they are my pronouns you don't get to choose when you use them

thinking about how all the rest of blackbeards crew had left by the time stede found the revenge

thinking about how ed was laid out in such a respectful way, like he was someone wanted to mourn

thinking about even after all he said, after mutinying on him, izzy could never really leave ed

thinking about how after all he did for them, all he lost, our crew couldn't leave him either

#thinking about how they would have had the opportunity to leave when everyone else did #and that izzy might have even encouraged them to #but that realising he was going to stay- essentially condemning himself to death- they couldnt leave him #would have fought him on it if he had put up a fuss (i imagine he would) #'we aren't leaving you boss' 'yeah no fucking way viejito' #because theyve claimed him now. hes their family. they arent going to leave him to certain death for any reason #and certainly not as a self imposed punishment for 'killing' ed #they arent going to leave him to rot on that ship with the corpse of the man who put them there in the first place #so they stay. they stay and they lay ed out properly under izzys watch. they stay and they plan a respectful funeral #rather than just throwing him into the sea like perhaps they would like to; because thats what izzy needs #he needs a proper send off for ed in the end and they understand that #they stay and the food runs out. they stay and they eat seagulls #they stay #they stay for izzy- because izzy cant leave; so neither can they #and maybe theyll die here #but theyve been living second to second for a while now #its actually kind of nice to have a deadline #its not so bad really; drifting through the ocean aimlessly. its a nice break after everything #its the quiet up to the end #nyxtalks #ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #izzy hands #israel hands #archie ofmd #frenchie ofmd #fang ofmd #jim jimenez #edward teach

okay. i need to rewatch the episode probably but i think my current feeling is that i like most of it a lot (rome, ken, the siblings not getting ceo, etc), think the tom ceo makes sense from a logical/character perspective but not sure how i feel about it from a broader more thematic lens (altho i'm leaning towards fine with it), and am very mixed on shiv's ending because i think it's well-conceived and meaningful from a broader thematic lens (shiv becomes her mother, the cycle always repeats, etc) but doesn't quite make sense to me from a logical/character one -- it could've worked, it could've worked brilliantly, but it was far too rushed and forced. it makes sense as an ending for shiv, but not her next step. i'm largely talking about her decision to return to tom, not her decision to vote against kendall (which i think should've been executed better and given more space but can understand given her character, mostly). i'm fine with it as an ending for shiv, but what i'm struggling to stomach is the way it played out -- it didn't feel like a choice the shiv we know would've made. it's an ending that makes sense thematically and for her character arc, but not a decision that makes sense for her character at present. that's kinda where i'm at right now

#long shiv post talking ab this upcoming lol #bc so far i haven't seen like any shiv takes i've actually agreed with #it's either entirely anti ending or pro ending #whereas like. to me the ending works as an ending for the character. it's tragic dark devastating but it works and works well #but shiv making that choice does not make sense for where she is right now. it was rushed writing that forced an ending on her #that would be a satisfying ending but not a satisfying character choice and thus NOT a super satisfying ending #could've been EXTREMELY satisfying. but shiv wasn't there yet. her fatal flaw is blowing up good situations when she feels she's being #disrespected -- she's respect > power when it comes down to it #even tho she thinks she wants power more she NEEDS respect and is unable to stay quiet or make the smart choice in the face of disrespect #or men thinking they're superior etcetcetc. so her making a choice that allots her power (wife of CEO) but is the singular least respecting #outcome imaginable (meekly returning to your husband who betrayed you and stole the job you've been fighting for your entire life right out #of your grasp alongside your closest ally/flirt guyfriend who tapped him to do it explicitly to fuck you over because you're a pregnant #woman and thus inferior to the man who inseminated you -- and EVERYONE KNOWS ALL OF THIS! everyone knows you're the daughter of #the previous CEO and on two separate instances were meant to be CEO and now the weak man you married publicly betrayed you TWICE #but you still meekly return to him and place your hand in his and have his baby like the good pawn you are...) #that does not make sense for shiv. if we saw some development on the power > respect front or had a few more scenes or episodes developing #shiv as someone who would choose to become her mother (powerful and rich yet a disrespected pawn) over literally anything else #given her fundamental fear of being disrespected than maybe this would've made sense. it could be a great meaningful devastating ending #but it's one that just does not track for shiv as we know her right now. #ok tags got long as always sorry LOL i'm gonna write a longer thing explaining my hashtag thoughts bc i haven't seen much i agreed w on thi #front yet oops. ok bye 4 now tee hee #succession #succession spoilers #casey shut the fuck up about shiv roy

#the 'they would not fucking do that' meme is starting to feel like yall just wanna make fun of people's headcanons #but tumblr is not ready for that conversation lmao #'they wouldn't start a family' okay maybe that's just not your trope. i get it. not mine either usually #but like. maybe they WOULD in that person's fic! maybe we can learn to like that trope more!!! #idk man my creative philosophy has always been 'have fun and let everyone else have fun too' #like. i get so sad when people make a point to disagree with headcanons #maybe it's a specific sore spot for me after Situations and Circumstances #but just. we can all coexist. we don't need to prop one thing up as ULTIMATE 'HE WOULD DO THAT AND NOTHING ELSE' #it comes back to how canon is more important to some people than others #but we all have to coexist in the fandom spaces anyways and find ways to get along #we can have different ideas all meshing and coexisting!!! i do it with my friends every single day!!!!! #like!!! palletshipping and oakshipping are holding hands and skipping off into the sunset in my friend group #same with contest and respect. vibing #we make it work. we vibe with other people and have fun #i promise you'll like fandom more if you focus on the happy parts of it and not the parts you hate

Some people really need a refresher course about levels of formality and forms of address in english and what kind of language is not okay to use for a non-mutual who you have never interacted with outside of tumblr. Also a refresher course on boundaries and questions which are inappropriate, rude and frankly ignorant.

Like, consider maybe before sending an ask, read it out loud and weigh whether you'd be comfortable yelling it across a table at a crowded meeting to someone you haven't actually been introduced to? That's essentially what you're doing here.

Maybe consider whether you're coming across as an obsessed entitled, almost bullying-adjacent person?

Oh it's only a joke? Well, it doesn't feel like all the participants are laughing. It feels creepy, invasive, entitled, stalker behavior and I would not want to know you IRL because your standards of behaviour online are throwing up warning signs.

Oh the person it's directed at is privileged? (Cis, white, rich etc). Doesn't change the fact that your behaviour is still incredibly rude, off-putting and self-centred. The problem here is you.

Consider behaving with the minimum of basic politeness towards someone who, I must stress again, is not your friend and whom you do not know.

This is not you being harmlessly weird. This is you being a creepy, entitled childish asshole.

#good omens #fandom problems #tumblr culture is very casual but there is a fucking line #and people have got way too comfortable crossing it #with people who are basically total strangers #please remember that the people who make the thing you allegedly like are real human people #entitled to a basic level of respect just like everyone else #tagging this good omens because I may as well put my money where my mouth is

another thing that’s really shitty about the recent uptick of people who call themselves allies still refusing to stop using “dude” and similar for trans women is that i thought we all agreed ages ago that we shouldn’t call people things they don’t want to be called even if it IS something you’d consider inoffensive to call a person under most circumstances. like seriously how hard is it to respond to “please don’t call me that” with “sorry, i won’t do it again” even and ESPECIALLY if you didn’t mean any harm when you first said it. if it’s a habit that’s hard to break just try your best and take a moment to apologize briefly when you fuck up, exactly like we’re always telling cis people to do with pronouns they’re not used to using. it’s really not that hard

#like i’m in circles where it’s common to use in a gender neutral way too but if you know someone is likely to be uncomfortable with it then #just say something else! for fucks sake. we all know a lot of trans women are uncomfortable w it bc they said so repeatedly #so just save it for people who are not trans women and/or trans women who told you they’re ok with it #similarly when i was growing up ‘young man’/‘young lady’ was considered a term of respect and/or formality for children. #like the children’s equivalent of calling an adult ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ #but these days it’s often used as a racist micro aggression so EVERYONE NEEDS TO TRY TO STOP WITH IT.
