The YJ/Korra power hour was so mind-blowing I went out the other end of capslock. Mostly.

Young Justice: Invasion:

Bart’s with Jay- canon and appropriate.

Can we be done with Lagoon Boy? I mean, really.

TIM CURRY ladies and gentlemen. He makes Godfrey so delightfully skeezy. I lurv it.

Man, Conner- you just cannot get a superbreak.

Lagoon Boy, you BREATHE WATER. When Blue Beetle BREATHES WATER, he can be the water guy. Quit your psychic bitchin’.

Whoa. Okay. I knew the break up was bad, but. Damn. Yeah, that is break-uppable offense there. I can see it working too and still fair to the characters. M’gann’s desperate to keep everything positive and she’s got an ends-justifies-the-means attitude already and… Woof. Superdrama. Wrenches my gut, but it works.

I can see what she sees in Lagoon Boy- he’s got Conner’s RAAAH temper. He also doesn’t have his muscle, so, again- you annoy me.

Oh no he got captured and sigh, I don’t care.

Don’t buy it.

“I don’t hear her heart.” You don’t hear a lot of things. Don’t buy it.

They’re grieving. Okay. Maybe buying it. Wait till the funeral.

Hah. Called it.

Super conspiracy? HELL. YES.

I never would have thought Young Justice would satisfy my espionage itch and superhero itch as well as quality drama. *plaudits*

Legend of Korra:

Tarrlokk, let’s talk about your bizarrely convenient kink chamber there. Because seriously dude. WHAT.

TOPH IS DA CHIEF AND SHE STILL CALLS AANG TWINKLE TOES AND I CAN’T EVEN.

Congrats, you got in touch with your inner Airbender, Korra. Now let’s make with the glowing eyes of Angry Avatar already.

Meelo is best answering machine.

Ugh, this. Can someone get Sherlock here? Perhaps Dupin or Milhone or I don’t know someone who can go- Yeah, Tarrlokk’s full of BS because of EVIDENCE.

Ooo, Lin is satisfying my beat-up PI wishes and HOLY CRAP SHE’S IN AN UNDERSHIRT AND NOW SHE IS ARMORING UP AND I AM IN A SPECIAL PLACE.

That’s right you get Asami first.

Bolin, you remain perfect as always. And your poor zipper.

Well, obviously Tarrlokk’s been super honest and on our side, so yeah, let’s go beat up some Equalists. GUH. You all are TERRIBLE DETECTIVES.

More of Lin. Bein’ a badass. Yiss.

And Asami knows about the kiss and will dump Mako and get with Bolin because really, he’s better and Korra will say, yeah, get with Bolin too and they’ll all have magical, rainbow-filled threesomes forever and Mako can sit in the cold with his scarf because REALLY I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PRECIOUS CANON SHIPS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY NERDY LIFE.

This is actually a pretty slick operation for the bad guys. I’m diggin’ it.

Oh surprise she’s not there and Tarrlokk lied. TERRIBLE DETECTIVES.

And now we’re confronting him. *facepalm* Dramatic irony will be my undoing this episode.

Hey. That witness- she’s awesome. Go clerk lady for standing up to your d-bag eeeevil boss.

Flashback- Bloodbending as illegal makes a lot of sense to me. It’s the only bending that’s only purpose is to harm and subjugate another person. Good fantasy law there.

Flashback still- Sokka, I love that you remain in love with your boomerang even at fifty-something.

Flashback- Clancy Brown you CHEW THE STUFFING OUT OF THAT SCENERY. Good Yakone evil there.

Flashback- This is why you don’t bloodbend a fully realized Avatar- he or she will Avatar State you into the next county.

Flashback- Ah, anti-bending again. I like how when Amon does it he’s like- unf yeah, I blocked your chi and I win loser, but Aang’s all- This is the worst ability ever and I hate doing it so I hope you’re happy mister because there are no winners today.

Tarlokk, taking a hostage only works short term. You are clearly not- WHAT IS AMON DOING HERE?!

AMON HOW ARE YOU NOT BLOODBENT WHAT ARE THESE SHENANIGANS?!

No more bending for Tarrlokk. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer d-bag.

Go Korra Prisonbreak!

And double go for- SCREW YOU AMON I AM OUTTA HERE!

Yay everyone’s safe and AGAIN WITH THE MAKORRA. UGH. Okay, Bryke, I get it- this is the ship. I can live with it. I just feel like I’ve seen it before a ho-jillion times so I’m not impressed. Still, rest of the show rocks socks, so we’ll just leave off interpersonal drama as one of your writing strengths.

AUGH. No new ep next week? Buuuuummer! What am I- HOLY SNAP HOUR SPECIAL FINALE ON THE 23RD?! DANCE TIME IN REPUBLIC CITY KIDS!

In which our brave writing heroine explodes the capslock because Young Justice: Invasion and Legend of Korra dropped a whole lotta bombs.

fyeahlilbitoeverything replied to your post: YJ review!

I was pretty sure the point of the pirated DVDs was that Jaime had something to send him to jail on that was concrete since he had no proof he was beating his girlfriend, but obviously knew it was going on. Not actually “pirating is EVIL”.

I suppose, but it wasn’t incredibly clear. If Jaime had said “I can put him away for the pirated DVDs and no one will have to deal with him anymore” it would have come off less so. I think that was probably what they were going for too, but you’d think a guy like that would be into something a little more…dangerous? I guess the shows options were limited, since they couldn’t do drugs or other stuff. It was just sort of funny when Jaime was like “ALL OF THIS STUFF IS PIRATED” like omg how can you tell from one glance I guess the scarab has a thing for that.

I actually took that moment as Jaime going- “Uh. Pirated DVDs? Fighting world-conquering aliens has really skewed me because I was not prepared for this level of mediocre evil from a D-bag, abusive boyfriend.” In seeing that this guy’s “big crime” was hawking rips of games and movies, it underlined that not only was he a small-minded scumbag, but he was a LAME, small-minded scumbag.

hythe:

That was honestly one of my favorite episodes of Young Justice ever.
Oh my god girl-centric episode and and and they were so awesome and I just I can’t even because yes.

YJ: SPITFIIIIIIIIIRE IS CANON!!!!!!!!

KORRA: START THE ASAMI SEX RIOOOOOOOOT!!

fyeahlilbitoeverything:

I can’t help but smile at how they totally kept her as the world’s biggest WW fangirl.

Cassie is basically me here i’ll own that

The interactions between the mentors and proteges really kept this episode above water for me and this one in particular made me squeeeeeeee.

“A little less Fan Girl… A little more Wonder Girl.” LOVE. HER.

Sorry I haven’t been on the past few days guys.

I was practically blinded because a piece of glass flew in my eye & I had to have it removed. We got it out & now I’m alright to RP again!

Sorry again for the absence. Also, did anyone else see Aquabad in the new episode?

Talk about crazy…

Glass in the eye is a totally legit reason in my book. Also- OUCH.

I figured. It hurt like a mofo. Also, OMG I’M JUST NOW MEETING YOU. 

Nice to meet you, dearie.

Oh. You can call me Morgan. Or Artie. Artie is cool too.

Hiya! You can call me Ary. Digging the Aquabad fanname.

Saw the latest ep, Alienation, and while once again the show proves its salt as quality storytelling with special nods to fans and observant watchers, I’m beginning to wonder what I’m watching.

Read More

Woke up, rolled out of bed, ran the internet through my head.

Read up on Rocket from YJ for potential RP reasons, then ended up reading W.E.B. DuBois’s Souls of Black Folk as a result. Posthumous thanks Mr. McDuffie- you expanded my mind and that’s always cool in my book.

Rocked Young Justice: Invasion and new favorite character? Adam “AND I SHALL QUOTE THE JABBERWOCK AT MY ENEMIES AND STEAL THEIR NOSES LIKE A BOSS” Strange.

That said, those five years must have been something fierce (I’m looking at you Miss Martian; unless you started using Tara Chase as a new role model, I want to know where this attitude is coming from).

Next was Legend of Korra. I have now calmed myself enough to deal with the weekly providing of SUPERB. Though it started off proving my grouchy points from the previous episodes, the show went on to give the best one so far. Good balance of action and emotional turmoil as well as more insight into everyone’s characters. We’ve been doing a lot of introduction and groundlaying going on, so this felt like the first chance the audience had opportunity to KNOW the characters.

And we love you Brolin.

Now. Better shower ‘cause I’m off to see Avengers later on tonight!

And to continue geeking out Saturday, just watched the latest Young Justice.

WOW.

I want to give serious plaudits to Cartoon Network for backing such a bold maneuver. Second season with almost entirely new team after a time jump? Never saw it coming- completely was ready for just a few changes and was blown away. I love it when I’m surprised.

I love it even more when I’m pleasantly surprised.

Characters I’m completely unfamiliar with (Bumblebee, Mal Duncan, Lagoon Boy) paired with some familiar, yet fresh faces (Tim!Robin, Jaime!Blue Beetle, Babs!Batgirl, Cassie!Wonder Girl and Beast Boy)- this was just one big geek squeal. Especially when Jaime, Tim and La’gaan took the story lead.

And this was just (some of) the geek stuff.

Kept were the quality storytelling, engaging season arc and character designs I’ve come to expect from YJ. When the boxed sets start flying for this show, they’ve my money.

Moves like this make me hopeful I could see my fave girls in the mix, but with Babs just getting her cowl time, I don’t want to rush it. Plus, I have ALL THE GEEKY QUESTIONS and am quite excited to see how and if they play out.

It’s so interesting to have this show and Korra as both shows get me going, but in completely different ways.

Definitely feeling the Aster.
