Also, at the end of season 4, Black Canary is talking about how they need a place where their people can go to recover and take a break from the life. A place where they can get away. I feel like if the show gets a season 5 🤞 that it might end up being Danny.

I like how in Young Justice season 3, the paramedics that come for Beast Boy and get pushed aside by Miss Martian are Sam Reynolds and Casey Brinke. Especially with the Doom Patrol Go! bit earlier in the episode, it's a nice little detail.

110

Though, honestly it would be cool to have that be in season 6 and to do another large timeskip like the one between seasons 1 and 2, so the little kids like John Kent, Flash's twins and Damian Wayne could grow up.

110

Despite this relatively minor flaw, Young Justice is still peak and you should watch it. Especially because that's probably the most effective way to get a season 5, which will almost certainly be a full season Apokolips War plot.

100

Combine that with his objective skill at making and executing long term plans over years, decades, centuries and millennia, and it actually doesn't make sense that he hasn't succeeded yet. The entire planet really *should* have been under his control AGES ago.

100

So, we've got an immortal. One of the first humans. Been alive for over 50,000 years. Has had the singular goal of dominating the planet for most of that time (add dominating the galaxy for the last 800 or so after meeting Darkseid.)

100

As Lex Luthor says in the finale, The Light always planned to betray the Reach, and the main goal of getting the Reach to invade was to kickstart the evolution of humanity by creating more metas. That objective succeeded.

100

Most of the time the heroes stop a Light plan, The Light still gets their most important objectives accomplished. Even in season 2, Aqualad disrupting the summit and breaking up the alliance between the Reach and The Light only accelerated their plans.

100

Almost all of his plans go pretty smoothly, except for when Aqualad and The Team break up his summit with the Reach at the end of season 2. We know he's behind almost everything with any member of The Light through the whole show.

You know, I really like Vandal Savage as a character, especially in Young Justice, but I feel like he is somehow both too effective and not effective enough. The way he plotted to get the War World in season 2, for example, was really cool, but it went too smoothly for him, I think.

Please don't bring that purist behaviour here on bsky, that might've worked on Twitter, but you have no power to do that here. Bluesky's block and mute feature works way better, so please make use of it and leave people be.

It's definitely not as unquestionably solid as "sacrificing 25 million people is wrong," but I feel like it'd have been a lot more interesting to have them have to work through that dilemma and decide that they can't abide forcing their mindset on 100 million people.

010

Immediately, the heroes decided that would be too steep a cost, and got back into the fight. Which, I guess is still an "ends don't justify the means" thing, but it didn't feel necessary. I think "brainwashing is wrong" is a strong enough moral position for them to stand on.

100

However, just as they were starting to question whether they were really on the right side of it, they found out 25% of people would resist the brainwashing so hard it would kill them. So, to achieve that progressive vision, 25 million people would be sacrificed.

100

So, all the heroes are like "Are we sure we're on the right side of this?" Which could have led to a very interesting conversation about forcing your beliefs on others, and how brainwashing is still unethical. Like, they could have done an "ends don't justify the means" thing.

100

As the heroes were fighting against this, they discovered the "New Constitution" which was the plan for what they wanted to brainwash everyone with, and it was all positive, progressive policies. Green, renewable energy, an end to discrimination, and universal healthcare were all mentioned.

100

So, the villains' plot, which they called "Project New America" was to brainwash and take over half the country, completely reprogramming the minds of 100 million people. They did this by hooking up a powerful telepath to a machine that amplified his power.

I watched Stargirl on Max recently and I thought it was pretty good, but they introduced what I thought was a pretty interesting ethical dilemma at the end of season one, then kind of immediately sidestepped it. Spoiler warning for season one of Stargirl.

Are you using Firefox on iOS?

Just finished the first volume of Mushoku Tensei: Redundant Reincarnation. It was alright. I really enjoyed the third chapter of the first story, and the fourth story. The second and third stories weren't as good, but I think the second one set up something important for the next series.

I'm talking about links *to* Bluesky in my browser not opening the Bluesky app (or giving me the choice to) It does in Safari, but Firefox is my default.

I don't think you understood the problem.

Alan 📚 @alanb-writer.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

Bluesky links don't create an "open in the app" button in Firefox on iOS. It's a little annoying. Anyone else had this problem?

Why post a link to the twitter post that's a link to the YouTube video instead of just a link to the YouTube video?

So it isn’t perfect and there really weren’t any stencils for me to use so I looked off stickers and other people’s pumpkin carvings and carved my Art the Clown pumpkin! #RieBreadRambles #PumpkinCarving #ArttheClown #Terrifier #Halloween2024

A pumpkin with Art the Clown from Terrifier carved into it. He has a grimacing face and a creepy smile. The pumpkin is being lit by a flashlight that I’m holding above the hole.

Is there a way to see what lists someone has been added to? I keep seeing people mention lists but they don't seem to show up for me. Whatever, I'll figure it out

Alan 📚 @alanb-writer.bsky.social · 30/10/2024

I'm curious about this too. I've seen quite a few of them linked, but idk how to see what lists someone is on, or what lists they made.

Alan lore; I have seen Weird Al, Aerosmith and Mayday Parade live 3 times each. (Mayday Parade 4 if you count back to back shows on the same tour as separate times.) I've seen a few other artists once each, but the only other artist I've seen more than once is *NSYNC who I saw twice.
