I generally agree about the voice and animation, but I really can't stand what they did with Joker.

Yeah, I hope we don't see much more of him.

Ditto. I had a "look" on my face for the Joker's part. But I like the show anyway, so shup.

As hard as I am on some aspects of the show, I like it, too. ^__^

I can be nearly as cantankerous as you, but I find that its easier to lure in my victims make friends if I pretend to like everything. Maybe when I'm as old as you I'll be more discerning... ;D

Of course we get a “the heroes are playing into our hands” scene every episode. This series is made by the same guy who created Gargoyles. It’s expected.

Really? Because I loved Gargoyles. YJ, not so much. Admittedly, a huge portion of my dislike comes from their portrayal of Robin, which I wouldn't hate nearly so much if were one of the worthless Robin downgrades rather than Dick.

Maybe Gargoyles would have been more annoying for you, too, if it was an adaptation that made some flagrant changes the way Young Justice has?

Gargoyles was great but Xanotos LIVED for this kind of thing*. It was part of his charm. I feel like you dislike those kinds of scenes in YJ because you’re already predisposed to dislike YJ.

I don't feel like I'm pre-disposed to disliking YJ. I dislike YJ because the story-telling is terrible.
I don't automatically dislike everything with an alternate take on something else. I loved Teen Titans, which was as "alternate" as it gets, and have frequently argued that the DCAU is far and away better than the DC comics have ever been.
The only thing I'm predisposed toward is hating crap, and the writing on YJ is crap.

I freely admit that there are things about YJ that I dislike (“Hello Megan”) but I feel like you’re singling out things that you wouldn’t mind in any other series.
(And you are so wrong about the Robins that it hurts. Sure Jason sucked and Tim and Steph are acquired tastes but Tim is FAR better as Robin than Dick ever was.)
