Hello there. I just read this on tumblr by user throwawayuntilfurthernotice:
"Young Justice: The Problem With Halo.
I am not going to beat around the bush, I don’t like the character of Halo/Violet in Young Justice. They aren’t the worst character on the show, but the way they’re written is so goddam frustrating.
The writers wanted to have their cake and eat it too when it came to Halo, for you see, they weren’t just the first Muslim character that has been introduced into the show’s universe, but they’re also non binary.
Now this raises a lot of problems, as Halo’s faith never really comes into play during Season Three, they’re only Muslim in appearance only. It also doesn’t help that Halo even states that they’re not Muslim in the episode “Early Warning” but they still continue to wear a hijab because.....reasons.
To the writers’ credit, they do try to address this issue in Season Four, by giving Halo their own subplot in which they try to learn more about Islam, but like most things in Season Four, it never really goes anywhere. As Khalid pretty much takes over as the newest Muslim member of the team during Zatana’s arc and Halo is just kinda left with nothing to do.
That is until the most recent episode, in which the writers basically told everyone that rightful criticized Halo and Harper’s interaction in Season Three to go fuck themselves, because Halo and Harper is now the endgame.
I fucking hate Harper Row, she really is the perfect example of how not to properly portray a bisexual character in media. And the recent episode really made her come off as an entitled brat, which I don’t think was the intention because the writers clearly want the viewers to root for Halo and Violet getting together by the end of the episode.
But to make a long story short, I personally feel like Halo could have been written a lot better as a character had the writers had a clear idea of what they wanted them to be from the beginning. Instead of just mashing various ideas together and expecting to be praised for surface level representation."
I know Halo/Violet has has been a complicated character for many to become fond of since their introduction in season 3. And it seems nothing you write or do with them is making anyone happy with them. I'm just going with the flow and don't think too much of them. The latest episode Ego and Superego, I believe was a good Halo episode. And I actually cared or more like was interested in what was happening in the episode with them. I'm not a fan of Brion or Harper either but to me they were also pretty ok this episode. I didn't hate them.
I'd love to know what's your opinion on this opinion (the tumblr post), please. How does it make you feel the frustration people have with Halo?
Btw, their new costume looks awesome!
