[SPOILER] Just some rambling thoughts of mine about Revelation.
I think my favorite moments in the latest episode of Young Justice have to be Artemis' "I feel naked. And not in a fun way," line, and Robin's understated "Timber" line when the bombs on the vine control center are detonated.
I liked this episode but for me it seemed like one of the weaker ones so far. I might have enjoyed it more if I was a DC fangirl and could fully appreciate all the cameos, but since I didn't know who a lot of these characters were, I wasn't exactly having fangasms like a lot of people who might be more familiar with DC's characters. I'm not really crazy about this interpretation of the Joker, nor his voice acting, nor a lot of his dialogue, although I did like his "Wonderboy, you are mine" line, mocking Dr. Fate. I also wasn't really all that impressed with the voice acting for Poison Ivy, and I didn't really like how Miss Martian's bioship suddenly seems like a member of the team. Not that I would mind having a thinking, feeling ship who can communicate with Miss Martian as a team member, but it seems like the extent of their relationship could have been established a bit more firmly in prior episodes. Wasn't crazy about the bioship being dragged underwater and Miss Martian saying, "She's in shock; she'll need time to recover," when what I was seeing on the screen seemed totally inconsistent with that statement--it looked like the bioship was done for. Obviously that line was needed to establish that the bioship would be coming back to save the day later in the episode when she busted them out of Wotan's cage, but still, meh. Also, normally I don't mind "Hello Megan" all that much but in this episode I didn't like how it was used. Why does Miss Martian even need anyone else to tell her that a hatch needs to be opened?
I enjoyed Dr. Fate. He takes himself so seriously that it's almost funny to me. I chuckled at his "FATE HAS INTERVENED" line.
I enjoyed seeing Red Arrow and Green Arrow putting their differences aside temporarily to fight the plant creatures.
Loved how Captain Marvel was still trying to hang around with the Young Justice team even after his baby-sitting gig was over. Now that I know his secret identity it totally makes sense. Of course a 10 year old kid is going to want to hang around with the teenagers rather than the adults.
Liked seeing that feelings might be growing between Wally and Artemis. After Kent Nelson's advice to Wally that he "find his own little spitfire" it seemed obvious that these two are intended for each other, and I loved seeing how they (initially) acted towards one another in Bereft when they had no memories of each other, but they were quickly back at each other's throats. But now, it's like they're starting to grow on each other, albeit begrudgingly. Towards the beginning of Revelation, we see them walking together towards Robin and Aqualad, and later Artemis gives Wally one of her breathe-underwater things. Then we see Wally trying to be protective of Artemis and Artemis making a sling for Wally's arm. I also liked early in the episode when she kept hitting him in the arm during the meeting with Batman. Spitfire, indeed.
I hope Wolf sticks around for a while, and I hope we get to learn more about his "character" so to speak. I don't know how his intelligence compares to a human's, but we know his brain was enhanced so I think it might be interesting if he got his own character episode at some point. Also, now that I view the bioship as an actual character, I suppose I hope we get to learn a little more about her. While I'm not crazy about the fact that her "character-hood" was established in such a sudden way (to me at least), I hope it's not something that just gets shelved away and never talked about.
