Being an impulse fan is like walking the edge of a knife sometimes

Rant about cartoon impulse that morphs into complaints about the young justice show itself.

Please scroll I just needed to complain a little

cuz on one hand that’s my boy. My complicated driven and violent creature who sometimes doesn’t understand that danger is realTM… and to see him animated is a dream but the only place he’s really animated is in a half anime half cartoon low effort art style series that sorta got him right in the season they introduced him in but then when the show got rebooted they turned his cringe dial allllll the way up and it’s kind of painful to rewatch because they didn’t hold onto a single bit of his story in the reboot after season 2 and if you thought they hated writing him in the newer comics well they also hate to do it in animation (as said previously they just never know what to do with the flashes hence why Wally barely appeared in Justice league unlimited). Season 2 impulse was okay, I was happy with what I got. Season 3 kid flash was unbearable. Season 4 kid flash was better but not as good as season 2 and they brushed over his involvement like nothing.

It just sucks so much because an impulse series is never going to happen. The TV Industry is too far into other genres like Harley Quinn and kiteman to even attempt spending money on adapting the impulse comics even if it would find a small audience, the fandom is just too divided between the multiple interpretations that were created for Bart Allen over the years. From aging him down when he shouldn’t have been to making him more adult and then never using him or killing him off to make him young again.

And it SUCKS so much because was keeping his comic personality in the young Justice show too much to ask for? Could the writers really not find any use for him past season 2? Could they not be bothered to read up on his lore? Not even from the wiki?

I keep thinking of what it would be like if the show directors had just a little more wiggle room to work with. Like if they didn’t HAVE to keep a central plot involving 30 different characters to wrap up a 24 episode season with a big battle at the end only to remember in hindsight that they A. forgot some characters still had holes in their plots and B. no one got character development that was substantial enough to matter. We had up to nearly a decade between season 2 and season 3 and it was a miracle in itself that it even got this chance in the first place. Even I admit I was too excited to care at the time but now it’s kind of painful to find all the faults in it when it’s been left again on the back burner of a greedy studio. From the time skips to introducing SO MANY new characters all in one season,,, the show practically dug itself in a hole and I will die on this hill. I understand the time constraints, the money issues, the audience reacting to a new season years after the last one when we’ve turned the internet into a harsher judgement zone. They wanted to include every character DC ever created, if only to please that one DC fan who even knew about Halo or dolphins existence and then add in real world issues on top of that to make it relatable.

IMO they bit off more then they could chew. Despite what redditers will tell you, the time skips were a cheap way to avoid certain parts of the characters development and they hindered more then they helped. Not only did we not get to grow with our original team of hero’s, we had to accept that we wouldn’t get to see 7 years of their growth (not even in flashbacks). And it just kept happening in a lesser volume with each season. Add on top of that we had the 20 new people they’d introduce who’d get the same no development treatment. Season 4, of course, tried to course correct and made little arcs for the original characters to get developed. Almost 9 years within the story later and with one of the original dead for no reason.

I just keep wondering if they hadn’t done any of that, what it would be like. Even the big rolling up hill plot of 24 episodes that crests 14 minutes into the last 20 minute episode with the remaining 6 minutes being the down time. If we had it more like the original Justice league cartoon with part 1-2 episodes focusing on one major plot or issue with all or most team members showing up. Or if we had kept it like season 1 with the monster of the week style of episodes (see supernatural season 1 to know monster of the week better) would we have gotten better character development? Would it have paced out the big bad reveal at the end more efficiently? Would it have forced the writers to actually read up on the characters they were adapting past their surface level personality? We’ll never know.

I can’t even hate the young justice plot that much either because it’s not terrible, it just the way they play dolls with the characters that hurts because I want to love it. My fav has been animated and I can see them move past their still comic pages and hear them actually talk on screen, that alone should be enough but it’s not.

Not when I can’t rewatch any of it without the high chance of getting second hand embarrassment if I don’t pay attention to when I have to skip ahead. An issue that wouldn’t even be a thing if the writers had JUST ORGANIZED THEMSELVES A LITTLE BETTER AND READ THE DAMN CHARACTERS COMICS A LITTLE.

I can’t even talk about the outfits or art style or the battle animations or the relationships or the specific character based plot holes or the change of priority the reboot brought or idk maybe Wally’s death??

Branching off of this (Im in delulu land) could it be that the reason we only saw Rin and Shima in the future pheles saw was because it was in fact not THEIR future but an alternate future depicting the opposite outcome of what actually happens? My only evidence are the death flags in both Shima and Rin that we’re seeing and the fact we saw none of the others so if it were an opposite future that actually happens that means something happens to Rin and Shima in the battle while everyone else makes it out alive?

Like it was a RIP in space time as pheles described below so it makes sense it wouldn’t be something linear that he saw. but then pheles says of course not in terms of that being the future because the future is always changing… The only thing I can’t explain is Paku’s pov… but again delulu

/!\ BLUE EXORCIST 152 SPOILERS/THEORY /!\

im sorry to say this because hes my favorite character but i think renzou is exhibiting some SERIOUS death flags...

like look at this dialogue... i really dont like this...😭😭😭😭 hes already exhibited some weird foreshadowing and dialogue earlier on in the story but for him to not play a huge role (so far) in the final battle despite his highly important place as a spy is very!!!! odd!!

second thing in this chapter that worries me is this interaction. i know it can be taken as dramatic irony (audience is aware all exwires have decided to fight, while the myoda are not), but i take it as something that can possibly turn tragic when looking back. we get shown a rare example of renzous family showing visible care/worry about him, as opposed to nagging, pressuring, or full-on annoying him, and its the one time he isnt there. in fact, its the one time hes in VERY REAL DANGER!!

ugh.. i really want him to be alright. id love the idea of him continuing to work as a spy for mephisto/the order post-canon 🤞

THEY DID ITTT

The one thing I need them to continue in S3 is the tradition of jaskier sleeping through big moments and waking up miffed

We were all so blinded by the wigs that we didn’t even question how jaskier got his lute back

[mochi-kitty]

okay who in the witcher PR team is holding the trailer vid file hostage cause we’re 30 days away now and have not been given anything??

[mochi-kitty]

Yep sapiosexual.. at the end of this article they mention it again. Originally I think it was written more on the “jaskiers hot girl summer” article. I had to look up what it meant and it’s basically an attraction to intelligence rather than any of other quality of feature.

I hope so! What you said sounds the best for a course of action. And besides we can celebrate jaskier being confirmed bi so focusing on the positives will have to keep our heads afloat before we see what they did

i get side eyeing twn for choosing radovid as the love interest but being preemptively mad about it and bringing up game radovid is a bit silly since game radovid and book radovid are two different characters and i bet show radovid is gonna be an entirely different character too. the show already made changes to his character by aging him up, prince radovid is a kid who was partly raised by philippa in the books and then gets like three mentions in lady of the lady that’s like “he would go down in history as radovid the stern” and that’s IT. everything else about his character is made up by CDPR and the show is once again not adapting the games so being mad at them for using a book character is just very ??

[mochi-kitty]

Right! That actually makes the most sense considering Ciri’s plot line too. Literally everyone and their mothers is after her… I think they also mentioned Jaskier’s falling in love but I can totally see it like one sided. Radovid plays with jaskiers raw feelings after S2’s fiasco and pretends it’s real so that he can trick jaskier into getting closer to ciri. Jaskier sees through it, confirming the sapiosexual part (attracted to intelligence?) and plays along because he’s a spy but can’t help being drawn to it in this pseudo toxic situation ship? Then again, last time I theorized how it could go down, I got curveballed so

Understandable! TWN watchers can be very intense when it comes to every new tidbit of information posted. I think the issue lies in that most fans who are against radovid being the choice they chose is that it’s hard to see him past the mad asshole he was in the game. I know, they aren’t adapting the games and it seems not the books either. There are moments in the show where you can see some stuff implemented from all the genres though. I guess you could call them Easter eggs?

Anyway- like you said, the books didn’t really mention much about him and all we know is the stuff from the games. I think it’s hard for fans to accept that we’ll have to follow another new story point when radovid was already done in a way that made sense in the games, if that makes sense? I mean obviously we hated the character but the writing of his character was at least done well and his decisions actually made waves in the game storyline that depended on what you chose to do with him. Again I don’t know if this makes sense, it’s hard to explain. With how confusing TWN’s plot line is, it just adds to the list of new things we’ll have to remember and it’s obvious fans are just tired at this point.

It’s also a little strange considering jaskiers sandpiper storyline cause radovid as we knew in the games was completely against non humans so much so that he went crazy, so the complete 180 turn from that is hard to imagine. Or maybe jaskier is the one who will change his tune! It’s really up in the air if this is a good decision or not. Best not to get hopes up considering the writers room past offenses though… what do you think?

We got what we wanted (queer jaskier) but at what cost (radovid)

[mochi-kitty]

Yj new episode spoiler*

Bart really started the episode unconscious then ended the episode unconscious huh

[mochi-kitty]

Seeing some people not liking the characters of the fandom ships, for example, jaskier with geraskier because it’s not true to the source material especially with the new season coming out, meanwhile I’m just sitting here like.. BRUH WHAT GERASKIER?? Did we watch the same show? Do i need to get my binoculars? All I saw was the “Trials and tribulations of Geralt’s fatherhood adventures” and “The yennskier buddy cop sitcom” and I fucking loved it
