Thoughts On S4 So Far? + Mine

Thoughts on S4 so Far? + Mine

I have this weird relationship with S4. The writing has improved and I’m glad that the original characters are getting attention, but this season still feels somewhat off to me.

I guess I’m still apprehensive about how the show is handling the characters. More of them are being added like M’gann’s sister and Onyxx when we already have so many more characters that were added on the previous two seasons. The show still feels congested.

Another thing that might be bothering me is Greg Weissman saying that there can be 3 more seasons for the show and that the characters’ stories never end. I really like Young Justice but I don’t think it needs 3 more seasons. The story, plot twists, and characters will get bland at some point like the ‘find the traitor’ plot point. I’m glad the writers didn’t keep this idea going on for the whole season but the trope is kind of stale right now since it’s been used so many times.

Maybe I’m nervous to love this season because of the underlying issues still being around.

Feel free to mention your thoughts.

I’m Iffy on Zatanna’s Morally Gray Idea

I mostly have a problem with the execution of this plot line more than anything. I like heroes to be morally gray sometimes but for me to really gel with the idea, I would have to see the character struggle resorting to that risky decision.

I think seeing Zatanna constantly finding other ways to save her dad but them failing would’ve helped me feel more sympathetic towards Zatanna, and understand how desperate she is to find a solution.

Also, I would’ve done the reveal totally different(honestly I would’ve done her arc differently). Zatanna and her protégés would visit Nabu quicker than in canon, and he somehow lets her plan slip out in front of her students. They get mad but Zatanna tells them that it was not the time and the discussion will happen later.

Then, in the end, Zatanna realizes how effed her plan is and tells her students that they have a choice to say no. Zatanna would tell Mary she’s not ready while Traci and Khalid accept the deal.

Thoughts on Zatanna’s Arc

Not going to lie, Zatanna’s arc is my least favorite so far. The pacing feels slow and the character focus is disjointed. 

I wish Traci and Mary were cut out. They don’t add anything and they take away screen time from more important characters like Zatanna, Doctor Fate, Klarion, and Child. Khalid is the most interesting but mostly because I did some research on who he is in the comics. 

I’m close to wanting Phantom Stranger and Jason Blood/Etrigan, though they could work as smaller note characters. 

Zatanna, Doctor Fate, Klarion, Child, and Vandal should be the core cast of this arc. 

I’m going to be optimistic and hope that this arc will have a great or even good ending, yet my hope is slowly dwindling with each episode coming out.
