I just saw the episode. I didn't see the problem. I mean the clothes Wonder Woman wears are far more revealing anyhow. I actually just walk around my house in boxers and a shirt often.

Was a great episode though. I was surprised by his desire to still find speedy. I figured his desire to find speedy was what caused him to steal money from the dude he saved, but I didn't think so many years later that desire was still the fuel for him.I guess at first I figured maybe being a clone was just the first of many bad things that happened to him over the years to make me come out the way he is. I'm real curious about Wally too now. I hope we get to see more of him. I was kind of surprised to see he had a daughter too.

J29 - My wife is generally most comfortable in just a shirt and underwear around the house, at least during warm months. I understand your point, however, although I don't personally agree that such a tame suggestion of sexuality is inappropriate for either the audience or the character. Remember this is the Artemis who said "I feel naked, and not in the fun way" when she was 16 or whatever! ;)

I do take your point, though. People in this thread were talking about the (sucky) Red Hood and the Outlaws comic (which sucks), which hypersexualises Starfire to the point of nonsensical offensiveness, and tries to excuse turning her into a mindless sex-doll because of her original healthy "free love" characterisation back in the day.

So clearly heroines are often over-sexualised . . . but in this specific case, I don't think it went too far.

Hi. Just wanted to say that my intent was to dicuss a scene I found problematic (again, I, me, myself-not saying that anyone else's standards are or should be the same as mine) in a show that I otherwise love. I figured if nothing else there could be some interesting discourse about it, even if people disagreed with what I had to say. If I'd known the tone the conversation would end up taking I would never have brought it up.

So apologies to Greg Weisman and the mods. I truly didn't mean to stir up so much drama.

[SPOILER] Actually I really liked the scene too. The dialogue, the body language was great. And I don't think the message of the scene would have been altered if she'd been wearing some pajama shorts or yoga pants, etc. But someone, likely several someones, deliberately made a decision to have the scene as it was.

TBH I personally didn't need to know Artemis goes commando. And if I had a kid in the 7-10 range that this show is geared for, I don't know that I'd need them to know that either.

Especially when Superheroines suffer from a ton of objectification, sexualizaton, and marginalization in general anyway. YJ as a series has actually avoided a great deal of that, minus the initial marketing and the kids meal debacle (which the cast and crew had no control over.) And the characterization of female heroes in YJ has overall been excellent. To me, what I saw as inserting fan-service kind of felt like a step back. (And, no we haven't seen anything comparatively sexual for the boys. Not with that kind of context and the way it was shot.) [/SPOILER]

[SPOILER] The shirt Artemis is wearing does indeed have fairly high slits, but she could also be wearing high-cut panties. Or maybe she's wearing Artemis-colored leggings. *snrk*

Personally I choose to believe she's not wearing anything under there, but it doesn't really bother me. People wear, or DON'T wear, all sorts of things in their own home. You should see what *I* don't wear. If this were a real-world scenario and Artemis had been the one to go talk to Roy and Wally had stayed home, it wouldn't surprise me if she came home and found him wearing nothing but boxers or briefs, not the least bit self-conscious of himself. Unfortunately if it had played that way in the show, it would have added an unneeded humorous element to a serious/romantic scene, because for some reason scantily-clad male bodies are often funny and scantily-clad female bodies usually aren't. *shrug* But it's not like Greg Weisman is the one who decided that male bodies are funnier than female bodies.

But either way, for obvious reasons Wally was the one who had to go talk to Roy, because he (not Artemis) was the one who was close friends with Roy. And from a narrative perspective it made sense for the one who went to talk to Roy to come home and find the other wearing less clothing than they would normally wear when company is over to make the nature of their relationship explicitly clear. The dialogue makes it obvious that these two people love each other, but Artemis' attire makes it obvious that these two people fuck each other and are completely comfortable around one another.

Personally I LOVED that scene. In Season 1 I really enjoyed watching their relationship slowly and organically bloom, and then finally they kissed in the Season Finale. I would have been really pissed if the creative team spent all that time building the pairing up and then went "LOL TIMESKIP" and separated them in Season 2 (or worse, had one of them die during the 5 year skip). Superboy and M'Gann being separated doesn't bother me because we actually got to seem them being officially "together" for over half of Season 1, so it's not as if viewers who care a lot about romance were teased and then blue-balled. I'm sure there are those who would have like to see more of Superboy/M'Gann being together, but I don't think anyone can legitimately say that we NEEDED more. [/SPOILER]

@Richard

You're totally right. I will say though, viewing the clip again-the cut of the shirts is different (no slits at all on Ivy's and much smaller more half-mooned things on Harley's, so at least you can choose to believe that they have underwear on), the shots where you see them full-body are much briefer, and the atmosphere is also less explicitly romantic/sexual. They never touch at all, and for most of the scene they're sitting down on opposite sides of the table. I would say the choice to clothe them that way was also unnecessary but because of those things, to me it's ultimately milder than the scene in YJ and because of that I don't react to it *as* strongly.

@Greg B. do you have anything to contribute as to why you feel my complaint was 'stupid'?

Right but clothing damage in a fight has a narrative purpose. It illustrates the seriousness of the battle. Did the oversized t-shirt have a purpose? would the scene have read all the much differently (minus the heightened sexualization) if she'd had on a pair of shorts or yoga bottoms under the shirt? Would we still have gotten that she and [SPOILER] Wally [/SPOILER] were a couple? I think that we would have, so to me at falls under the heading of 'unnecessary'. Again YMMV.

What would Artemis wear inside her house? Whatever the heck she wants. There's no reason why that shouldn't be an oversized shirt, but there's no reason why it needs to be one, either. That said, given how equal opportunity the show has been when it comes to fan service--hello, shredded-shirt Superboy--and that it doesn't contradict Artemis' established personality, I wouldn't rush to call it problematic without additional data.

That said, it's worth noting that sex is a valid topic in shows rated TV-PG--that's the same rating Gilmore Girls got.

On another note, if I ever write a Greg Weisman biography, it's totally going to get called "Shakespeare and Staple Guns".

[SPOILER] Pants? [/SPOILER] And the context of the scene was [SPOILER] to my eyes, fairly implicit that Wally and Artemis were going to shortly thereafter be having sex and that the t-shirt was all she was wearing. And that surprised me and made me slightly uncomfortable, not because sex is a bad thing, but given the demographic of the audience, and the time of day it was airing, it was unexpected. And if you want to debate cultural standards of what is generally viewed as acceptable to be shown to children, whether it be sex or violence and if the disparity is merited [/SPOILER] I am happy to have an intelligent discussion as to that.

I'm not really sure what I said that merited that much venom. I had a reaction to a scene within a TV show. I was curious as to whether anybody felt the same way. I wasn't rude or vulgar. I didn't cast aspersions on Greg or the rest of the cat and crew or say that there should be some outpouring of moral outrage. Last I checked I was allowed to have feelings and opinions.

Anonymous: I am an enormous fan of "Young Justice," in point of fact.

As for spoiler requests, until very recently, there was no specific guideline outright banning them; only Greg's continued pleas for people to stop asking, which he hoped would be enough. Thus I had no choice but to approve them until this week, when the new guidelines kicked in.

Since then I have been taking a zero-tolerance approach to spoiler requests, and have already deleted over a hundred of them. Yes, there are still quite a few sitting in the queue and yes, I will be deleting them when I have the time.

But I don't have unlimited time to devote to AskGreg, and the queue's presently at a size where I cannot clean it all up in one sitting. But the next 200 or so questions that will reach Greg are all clean, and I'll be reducing the queue even further when I have some free time.

Until then, be patient. Trust me, the issue is not a lack of familiarity with the show on my part.

Of course, all this raises another question: Is immortality really what Xanatos would've wished for? Sure, it seems like the obvious thing, but who knows. And since we can't know for sure what Xanatos would've wished, it makes it all the more difficult to know how Puck would've responded.

Cartoon Network (and other networks) have in the past released partial season sets (to generate mid-season revenue from merchandise as well as to gauge interest). If the partial season releases do well (i.e. making it worth the effort and expense) they usually have released full season sets. Of course, that's historically speaking and there is no guarantee that such a pattern would continue/be used in this particular instance.

But it ends up being a little bit of a catch-22. If consumers wait for the full season release and not get the partial season volumes, then they don't do the full season release thinking it isn't worth the effort. But if everyone buys it as volumes then fewer people would buy the full season sets...

As for whether or not buying the dvds helps convince CN about a 3rd season, I would say yes. It's revenue generated by the property. That is exactly what it is that gets noticed. Some shows have gotten cancelled when their merchandise wasn't getting the types of sales figures that the network was looking for.

Of course, I say all this with ZERO inside knowledge, just making statements based on previous similar situations that I've observed

ANTHONY TINI - The local public library's had Volume Three of "Young Justice" on order for several weeks now, but still hasn't gotten it in. I hope there hasn't been a bureaucratic mix-up.

JOSE> Xanatos wants immortality but isn't desperate for it. He thought Owen's services were invaluable, and he figured he would have other opportunities to obtain immortality. He's practical that way.

I wonder though, Puck wasn't being coerced with Xanatos as he was with Demona. Puck OFFERED this wish to Xanatos. Would Puck really have tricked Xanatos in his wish? I don't know. We probably never will know.

So I was searching on Amazon.com and it appears that if a person would like to own Young Justice Season 1 in it's entirety on DVD, that person would need to buy "Young Justice: Season One - Volumes 1, 2 & 3" to see the first 12 episodes and then "Young Justice: Dangerous Secrets" to see the remaining 14.

1) Has anyone purchased "Young Justice: Season One - Volumes 1, 2 & 3" or plan on purchasing them soon?
2) Does anyone plan on buying "Young Justice: Dangerous Secrets" when it comes out on July 24, 2012?
3) a) Does anyone think there will be a complete Season 1 DVD box set release and/or b) a possibly a blu-ray release?
4) This may be a dumb question, but will buying these help convince Cartoon Network to renew Young Justice for a 3rd season?

You know, I always thought Xanatos made the right choice, but I always wondered why he did it considering his desire for immortality. It really does make so much more sense now realizing Puck would grant him immortality probably in a way similar to what the Cauldron woulda done.

BISHANSKY - Yes, seeing the way Puck grants people's wishes makes me think all the more that Xanatos showed excellent judgment in choosing the lifetime of service from Owen.

Brainiac> Heh, awesome. I noticed when Greg posted the "Happy New Year" credits that in season 2 all of the actors are now listed alphabetically, instead of putting the Team first and then everyone else. I wonder what led to that decision?

I intend to watch SFDebris' review when I have time.

Oh gods. That was exactly what I was thinking when Demona started clawing up Cleopatra's needle. Found myself thinking something along "Way to ruin one of the world's ancient treasures needlessly" or something like that.

It just makes me happy to see somebody else besides me notice that. Then again I don't talk about Gargoyles with friends to often, nobody I know is really as into it as me, so it's never really come up either.

On a separate yet somewhat related note:

Has anyone near New York been able to see Sleep No More?

It is a noir version of Macbeth where the audience can explore 4 stories of a hotel and follow various cast members as they silently bring this story to life.

I know this sounds like im advertising but Im not. I saw it a few weeks ago and am going back to see it. Was just wondering if anyone in the fandom has seen it as well, since many in the fandom are Shakespeare fans.

One of my favorite aspects of that review was when he talked about how Puck is a trickster, not a genie... and why they can't just ask him to "fix" things for them. It's something a lot of people in the fandom, even this CR, need to keep in mind.

Thanks for posting another great review.

This one was truly hilarious. His commentary on Demona's mercenaries succeeding where eveything else has failed was great. I especially loved his "three guys with a lead pipe" joke.

However, nothing had me laughing so hard as his statement from Goliath to Elisa: "I have come to see how beautiful you truly are and wanted you to know that when the time comes for you to lay your clutch of eggs, I would be honored to be one of the males to ejaculate on them."

That is freakin' hilarious. I laughed at that. Hard.

Looking forward to this guy's "Enter Macbeth" review. He continues to do fantastic reviews of the show with much humor, but also some great insights that even the denizens of this Comment Room have failed to discuss over the years. Kudos.

Another good review by Chuck, indeed!

I can absolutely see Demona screaming something that rhymes with Puck at the end of "The Mirror"! XD

Hey Supermorff, how 'bout that top vocal billing; as it should be, am I right?

I saw the latest YJ recently. I gotta say I really do like how much some of the characters have really changed over the years. What with M'gann and Caulder. Really kinda shows how a lot can happen over 5 years I suppose.
