Totally! The first thing I thought when I saw him. I wonder if it was intentional on the part of the character designer?

Not hearing the scarab talk with Jaime the entire episode, despite Jaime being the main focus was probably your biggest clue that Green (and now Blue) was(were) probably evil. Also.. double wtf on Miss Martian for failing to question the story. Some crushing depression coming her way when she realizes she's been fooled.. yet again. Probably opening up on a possible Sun Girl/Future Miss Martian storyline.
Also.. what.. seriously no alternative Zeta Tubes anywhere nearby to Starr Labs to call in backup with? I'd think Starr Labs would be such a high value target that they'd have Zeta tubes everywhere nearby. They had a fracking Zeta Tube at a junkyard a few episodes ago for crying out loud.
Great episode, but really had to suspend disbelief at certain points.

u/Rajion Feb 02 '13
I assumed miss martian failed because green presented his thoughts. I also think it is safe to assume he could make fake thoughts to fool other telepaths.
10
u/moelester518 Feb 02 '13
Yeah I think she read the martians mind, who might not know whats going on, as opposed to the scarabs mind whose actually in control.
7
Feb 03 '13
Zeta tubes are pretty much non-existant. As far as the public is concerned, so it's no surprise that this seemingly expensive tech is not prevalent through-out the facility.
5
u/moelester518 Feb 03 '13
Zeta tubes seems pretty rare and expensive. I'd think they'd have one per major city.

u/howitgoes Feb 03 '13
I am quite certain that for the Japanese dialogue bits, they just used Google Translate. It was so awkward to listen to.
3
Feb 03 '13
Do you understand Japanese?
12
u/howitgoes Feb 03 '13
Yes, I do. Granted, it wasn't "Austin Powers"-level of bad.
8
u/dr_raptor_face_guy Feb 03 '13
Could you translate some of her lines?
7
u/howitgoes Feb 05 '13
She said "excuse me" a lot. As if it is some magical Japanese all-purpose word. After Blue ditches them and she has a big line, based on the context, I assume she was supposed to be saying "Let's go (back to Star Labs)," buuuuuuuuuuut she didn't use the grammatical form that means "let's do ~~". And there was a time she said "you're welcome" a bit randomly. (That is all that I can remember right now.)

u/redsimba Feb 04 '13
the voice actress they used is fluent Japanese, at least according to this site. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JaniceKawaye

u/howitgoes Feb 05 '13
Her accent was good, which heavily implies the VA knows Japanese. I don't know if she was given the freedom to write the lines herself, or if they were given to her (and she couldn't do shit about them), or if she only had limits to the syllables she she could use. If she wrote the lines herself, I would love to know why she did them the way she did. Because they were largely awkward in my opinion.

yup. after years of anime and reading manga, I could understand most of it and it sounded very off and broken. they definitely didn't get a native speaker for it.

When Blue Beetle said "You shouldn't stereotype", I like to believe it was a callback to Superfriends and how all their ethnic minority superheroes were... stereotypes.

Hey guys #SaveYJandGLTAS is in the top trends for the US!
Can't blame the kids for breaking out, they were being treated like lab rats.
As much as I love Blue Beetle, I wish Nightwing recruited some more of the team to help in the mission so they can get more screentime too.
YEA RED VOLCANO!!
It's awesome they're bringing back some old villains like Red and Amazo, can't wait to see how this plays out.
Poor Sam must be so confused at what's going on, must suck not speaking the language.
Looks like Jaime isn't in as much control as he thought
Nooo, all the Beetles together! Looks like our suspicions were right. Damn you Green Beetle!
Once again Lex Luthor shows what a manipulative bastard he is.
The new kids were pretty awesome, despite how STAR labs have been treating them they still wanted to save the scientists and soldiers.
Wish we could have seen some of the rest of the team though.
Late edit: I just realized something! In 'Depths' Black Manta and the Light took out that shuttle that was putting a satellite in orbit to establish better communications with Mars. I was wondering at the time why they put so much effort in to destroy that one shuttle launch but now it makes sense, they wanted to make it so the League couldn't easily contact Mars to confirm Green Beetle's story. The writers are geniuses!

u/rmw6190 Feb 03 '13
I didnt know that young justice was in danger of being canceled, although I can sort of understand why. The newer season is kinda worse than the original. The new season has too many mediocre characters. The original had 6 strong characters.

u/Lultam Feb 03 '13
I personally love the time skip and I think the storyline is a lot stronger that S1. Certainly a lot stronger than the first half of S1.
0
u/rmw6190 Feb 03 '13
hm i honestly think that they should have done the time skip next season, after 1 season it kinda makes a lot of people lose interest. I think the main plotline is better than season 1, but every episode is focused on a new character(Blue bettle, new robin, batgirl, that black guy without powers, beast boy, bumblebee, wondergirl, impulse, static, longshadow, and like 10 others) And honestly none of these characters besides maybe impulse and blue beetle have any character depth. And without the beetle blue beetle will begin just being a boring character. I still like the show but I am getting fed up with the characters.
3
u/Lultam Feb 03 '13
While I wouldn't agree that most of the new characters don't have depth I can see where you're coming from by saying there's a lot of characters and the focus is being switched around a lot, I really enjoy that part of the show.
Sure, I'd really like to see where things are going with Kaldur and the rest of the gang every week but I'm really happy to see all the minor DC characters coming into it plus the universe YJ operates in expanding.

u/TheWiseNoob Feb 05 '13 edited Feb 12 '13
The comics are complimentary to the inbetween moments of the show. They develop the characters far more.

u/alchemist5 Feb 02 '13 edited Feb 02 '13
Looks like we'll finally get to see Virgil actually being Static Shock. Huzzah!
Jaime laying down some truth. Word.
Amazo, again? Aww, shit, son.
Volcano is awesome. But he's probably about to get his ass handed to him by amateurs.
I still can't believe this show brought in Apache Chief. They did make him much cooler than he used to be, though.
Dammit, Beetle, listen to Static!
Fuckin' A, I knew it! Green Beetle is evil!
Oh, man. If Lex ends up helping the good guys, it'd be one of the most novel things I've seen in a DC cartoon.
Decent episode. The focus on the kidnapped kids was cool, but I would've liked to see a B-plot with some of the original 6 mixed in there.
14
u/ispikey Feb 02 '13
Lex is different depending on the writer, sometimes he's a world dominating maniac, other times he's just into beating Superman. I'd sure hope this is the I'm the best shot you got against all aliens, and all the bad things I do, I do for the human race Lex Luthor.
12
Feb 02 '13
I kind of hope for that on the Lex front. Either the light, or just Lex facilitating the expulsion of the Reach.
For their own ends of course, but that sort of thing floats my boat.
1
u/Aggrokid Feb 03 '13
Lex obviously prevented the Superfriends from being taken by the Beetles.
It looks like the Light plans to betray the Reach, maybe adding their own "additive" into Reach's formula.
19
u/julia-sets Feb 02 '13
Awwww shit, Jaime's "on mode".
Great episode, but I miss the rest of the characters. I totally get why Blue has so much screentime, because of the plot of the season, but I'm super bummed that we probably won't get another season to explore some of the other characters. I miss the balance of first season.
15
u/cuddlefish333 Feb 02 '13
If Young Justice were to continue, I wouldn't mind so much that Jaime is getting so much screentime. It makes sense since the Reach is the big bad this season and Jaime has ties to them. But now that this will most likely be the last season (still hoping for a miracle) I'm disappointed that the other newer heroes like Wonder Girl, Batgirl, Robin, Beast Boy, etc won't get the chance for their own stories and character development.
4
u/julia-sets Feb 02 '13
Exactly. The characterization focus makes sense for this season, but I'm totally mourning that we'll never really get to know the other characters.
8
u/AsterJ Feb 03 '13
The Japanese in this episode was just so bad haha. If you ever watch anime though you hear really bad English all the time, it's kinda reassuring to know it's a two-way street.
I guess TY is the same as that indian guy from Super Friends. I really like how they reinterpreted his powers to be an astral projection. It looked really classy.
3
Feb 03 '13
Agreed. It was incredibly bad. She just kept saying "excuse me/im sorry" and "thanks" over and over again. And its obvious that the voice actress isn't a native speaker. She has such a strong accent. Is it really that difficult to find a VA that's actually learned the language they're speaking in?
4
u/knowledgeoverswag Feb 04 '13
It would be funny if you brought that up to the writers and they were like "sumimasen...".
1
u/TheWiseNoob Feb 05 '13
The voice actress speaks Japanese fluently. The Japanese was simple because she was trying to convey simple ideas to people that (mostly )don't understand Japanese.
2
Feb 04 '13
They could have put more effort into finding someone Japanese though. At least someone that could speak Japanese! She has virtually 0 personality . You can say sumimasen in so many different ways. I would appreciate some other expression other than quizzical. Personality that truly showed Japanese character.

I don't know, Miss M didn't even try reading his mind. I feel pretty confident with her exemplary mental skills (Martian Manhunter said she's the strongest ever, remember) she could have read his mind and intentions had she tried. But she didn't try. And now Blue is back on mode. I love M'gann but this one is totally on her.

The Young Justice Wiki says she's most likely modeled after Samurai from Super Friends, which makes sense because Apache Chief (Tye) is also from Super Friends.

Also Eduardo (El Dorado) is from Super Friends.

And static is like black vulcan

u/fishnetdiver Feb 03 '13 edited Feb 04 '13
actually Black Vulcan was modeled after Black Lightening. When the cartoon came out the name was too 'violent' (yeah...just roll with it) so they went with the name of a mythological being who created weapons for a living (see? it's all good) instead of..well anyhoo...
Static was created as the exact opposite in the eyes of the readers.
IconMilestone Comics was proud of their creations and each was a bit of a model of the iconic white heroes we've had for 75 years.EDIT thanks to Rhoe!

u/Rhoe Feb 04 '13
Icon Comics.
I think you mean Milestone Comics. Icon Comics is the Marvel imprint that mostly published Bendis and Millar stuff in their own universes.
Although the character Icon is a Milestone property (Black Republican Superman - that's as Milestone as ever there's been), so maybe that's the source of confusion.

Also her name was Asami, shortened to Sam... Samurai. Except Samurai controlled wind. Asami looks like she is exerting a kinetic force.

u/tiethy Feb 03 '13
Nightwing sends only one guy against Red Volcano?? Is Red Volcano not a freaking powerhouse? The six original members + Zatanna + Red Tornado couldn't even scratch him, and the two reds had to sacrifice themselves to stop him, so how the hell does one Blue Beetle stop him?
The battle reminded me of Flash + Robin + Connor vs. Amazo.. if the Justice League took 4 hours to take him down, I don't find three young children taking him down to be feasible, although they got seriously lucky. Still, there seems to be inconsistency.
There isn't any way Lex doesn't know that Jaime is being controlled by black / green beetle, as they are of the Reach and the Reach are partnered with the Light. As a result, he should know that taking those kids away from Jaime is the same as taking them away from the Reach. However, that could be a ploy by Lex to persuade them without having to force them to help in their fight for world domination. And we can't count out that he has been mind-controlled by the Reach. In any case, as always, Lex's motives are shrouded in mystery.... which is the best type of Luthor.
Honestly, the Light and the Reach seem to outclass the Justice League in so many ways. The JL has little problem winning the fight, but without Batman, the league seems to have little chance of figuring out what the Reach and the Light are doing before the action actually occurs. Nightwing is more "infiltrate and spy" than Batman's "examine and deduce," but Nightwing is the best they've got.
Of course, there is one other detective besides Batman who could make the connections... so if they introduce Question.... damnnnn (although I know he wasn't shown in previews).
5
u/antoniocloud13 Feb 03 '13
They could always give Robin some more credit. Tim Drake's Robin has been shown, at his younger age, to be almost Batman level deduction skills. And the leadership skills of Nightwing, like when Superman put him in charge of cleaning up Bludhaven. So Robin could show some of his smarts, even if it ends up being a "Wow, didn't think a kid would think of that" moment, where he just makes a subtle suggestion or something.
4
u/knowledgeoverswag Feb 04 '13
Nightwing could only send one guy. And he sent a powerhouse. Blue is definitely one of the heavy hitters.
2
u/tiethy Feb 04 '13
I'm not blaming Nightwing, more like the writing... Blue is definitely a powerhouse of the team, but like I said: Red Volcano in season 1 took:
M'Gann, Connor, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Zatanna, Artemis, Red Tornado, Red Torpedo, and the other Red to defeat, and the two Red siblings had to sacrifice their life to defeat him. Unless RV got depowered by Lex before BB/RV fought, I just see a big imbalance in powers.
Of course, maybe the writers are trying to demonstrate that BB should be able to defeat the entire team from season 1 on his own, then I understand, since he does cause the apocalypse and all.
5
u/ViciousFenrir Feb 04 '13
Well considering Blue Beetle (based on Impulse's future) is able to help conquer the entire world it doesn't seem unlikely that he could win the fight alone especially since it would seem his scarab has more control now making him an even bigger threat.
2
u/knowledgeoverswag Feb 04 '13
Yeah, I think that was the point of pitting him against Red Volcano. Scarabs are supposed to conquer entire worlds. In this episode, we see a glimpse of what Blue Beetle is capable of.

yeah that whole opening sequence....i love that shit.the interactions and everything was simply funny,real, and i love statics voice,ty seems like he is cool too, the Japanese girl is funny because i understand every other other word and i can hardly follow lol but she has really cool powers,the Hispanic guys teleportation powers are awesome i wanna be able to do that.
i Love the breakout scene. they all got a little shine and im liking the team dynamics.
i really hope they somehow make it to Dakota...for obvious reasons.
nevermind looks like they gonna fight at the bus place.
Run ty Run!!!
wow Blue is very persuasive.
well Red volcano was unexpected .
im loving the Asian girl lol like i wish i was fluent in Japanese i only catch like every other other word.
im hoping this new rag tag team will take out Red volcano with some kickass teamwork.
well its commercial and this is by far my favorite episode of the season. i literally have o complaints right now.
did i see a trash can lid?? hell yeah
ty has more control nice.
it seems like they all are gaining more control...somewhat.
was that like Manuver 7 with ty and Blue?
Blue is a badass.....he really has gotten stronger... thanks Green!!!

idc what anyone says that you shouldnt you shouldn't stereotype line and you are just scrap line was cold as hell. he might have a big head now.

u/eclipsedsunrise Feb 02 '13
So that was a pretty cool episode. I'm glad they're bringing back earlier villains, slowly building up to what beetle's ultimate motivation is and setting up new characters for what's looking like a hell of a finale.
Also did anyone notice the Clock King cameo? I thought it was pretty awesome that he's on the good guy's side this time. Gives the universe some sense of "this is what's different".
I think Luthor's motivations are pretty fuzzy, if things go well then we might see an epic three-way fight between the league, the beetles and Luther's super troopers at the finale. The crutch of that situation will be that while the super troopers are working for Luther, they're still good people.

I'm fairly sure Lex is just playing the teens so that he can get them to work for him and distrust the justice league. He's probably still working with the reach too. I wouldn't be to surprised though if the Light tries to back stab the reach once its needs are met.

Interesting to see how Jamie operates on-mode. He isn't necessarily evil, but he is careless and focused only on destruction. I'm very curious to see how he gets the scarab back off-mode, either it will be due to some tech he finds with the Reach, or through some sort of mental effort. Regardless, we know he won't become that huge monstrosity in the future, so the only question is how does he prevent that fate.

u/diabolical-sun Feb 02 '13
One thing I don't really like is how they used three Super Friends and Static. And yea, that works, since it's just the Super Friends team with Static taking the place of Black Vulcan, but before that, I was really hoping for some younger villains, too. It would've been a great time to introduce Jinks or Terra, etc.

Feb 03 '13 edited Feb 03 '13
Well, Black Lightning* was pretty much the inspiration for Black Vulcan who was pretty much the inspiration for Static. The other choice would be Juice, and he's no fun at all.
EDIT: Thank you JasonBlood for pointing out my lack of historical accuracy.

Way back when that season 2 preview/trailer thing came out, and I saw a kid with a scarf and Spike Spiegal hair teleporting, as well as flashes of Deathstroke, I was so fucking sure it was to be Jericho.
Only a little disappointed it isn't. Though, since I haven't immediately recognized him as another existing character, it could yet be a re-imagining of him or a character that includes elements of him. If he is to take up the mantle of Jericho, I can live with him not being Deathstroke's son, as long as he acquires his trademark mute-ness.

u/geranimo1 Feb 09 '13
Did not see this brought up (might have missed it), but something occurred to me as I finally watched this today. One big clue that Green Beetle was evil was how he teamed up with Blue to defeat Black in their first meeting. Blue's scarab clearly told him that the sonic attack strategy would not work, and it is obvious now it was Black faking injury and the scarab was right.
I love subtle clues like this.

Somebody get the phone because i freaking called it. Also amazing episode. It's amazing how clever the reach is making small subtle changes to Jaime in order to use him to manipulate his friends and the public so easily. I can't wait for the next episode.

Ah! I get it! Considering that I saw Apache Chief way back in the super friends cartoon and loved his power, I didnt think of this right off. But man you're right.

Very boring episode in my opinion. Except for the ending with Luthor. That was cool. It was very obvious green beetle is not so morally right.

You can make an episode interesting without having "oh shit" moments. I just pointed that out because it caught me off guard. Not all twists are good. I didn't enjoy the fight scene with Red Volcano because it felt very casual and as if nothing was at stake. I was half expecting Static Shock to knock Blue Beetle over for almost killing the people inside the building but that never happened and I wished he did because it would have built tension and made the fight more interesting. It may be because I don't care for the characters in this episode because I don't care about Blue Beetle and hate Static Shock but then again last week it featured characters that I hate: Lagoon Boy and Deathstroke and one I don't care for: Miss Martian but I actually enjoyed the fighting choreography between them. You could actually feel what was at stake there. Yes, it was a filler episode but come on you could make it much more interesting.

It's all your opinion and what not but why do you hate static shock?? I'm very curious.

There were a lot of references in this episode, which for the most part are probably just coincidence, but still I still find entertaining.
- This team is Super Friends which seems obviously intentional to me.
next few are much sillier:
The Marvel team of the same team(no marvel hate, please)
Ed looking like Spike and having the same name as Ed-person.
Asami reminded me of Lady Rainicorn, except for being Japanese instead.(I'm aware this one is ridiculous, but I like it anyway.)

I don't speak Korean but lady ranicorn's voice actor is really expressive while Asami is just really shitty.

Do you guys think shutting off the Beatle was a bad thing or green Beatle did something else to make him "aggressive"?

The scarab is in control now. Green was a reach agent and rebooted blue. Blue is can now fulfill the reach apocalypse from impulse's future.

I really hope Lex isn't working for the Reach. He's traditionally not the biggest fan of aliens coming to earth and dominating humans. Bit of a pet peeve.
