YJ redraw of barry’s terrible influence on bart. his (grand)dad jokes precede him <3
VIDEO ID: The Flashfam are seeing Bart off as he returns to the future. Barry lets go of his hand on Bart’s shoulder as he walks away, waving back at them. He laughs and says, “Told you. Anyway, it’s been crash. But the future awaits. I gotta run. Ha-ha!” Barry smiles while Jay brings a hand to his hat in exasperation, and Wally slumps, looking at the camera unimpressed. Bart continues to say, “See what I did there? With the ‘run’?” Barry, still smiling, walks towards Bart as he’s about to enter the time machine, saying, “That was for you, Gramps.”
Young Jedi Adventures could have been set pretty much at any point over literal centuries but lucasfilm picked the era immediately preceding several years full of some of the most tragic star wars events. multiple mass casualty terrorist attacks, galaxy-wide infestation of huge telepathic carnivorous plants, protracted open war, refugee crises, famine, whole worlds occupied and held hostage, jedi dying all over the place, creatures that inflict a fate worse than death on force-sensitives. why? because they knew the heroes needed to be relatable to 2020s preschoolers. in this essay i will-
Young Justice S1, first half of the season: "oh look at these fun teen heroes! let's show them on weekly black ops missions while sprinkling in some high school drama shenanigans and occasionally insinuating that a serious ongoing subplot is happening under the surface!"
i have so many feelings about young justice (animated) MOSTLY POSITIVE but then there's fucking M'gann and i feel fucking crazy. like i fucking need to rewatch the show and take notes this time because WHAT?
i'll be so fucking honest. she's interesting as hell. you're definitely not bored when she's on screen. you're busy being HORRIFIED? what do you mean she based her entire identity off of a character in a sitcom from the 80s
what do you mean she named her crush after that character's boyfriend?
what do you mean she made people catatonic?
what do you mean she and her crush had their first kiss dressed as twins?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE SHAPESHIFTED INTO THEIR TEACHER AND MADE OUT WITH HIM THE NEXT EPISODE?
and then she married him. what the fuck. what WAS THAT. WHY. theres so much other shit about them i could get into like OH MY GOD? CONNER DID YOU NOT GET FUCKING ANY INFORMATION PREPROGRAMMED INTO YOU ABOUT ABUSE OR TOXICITY OR. OR ANYTHING??
made this whilst procrastinating on all my fics and responsibilities 😭 thought it might be useful cause i keep seeing different posts where ppl just don’t know the characters ages lol
also since i made similar posts on this before, thought it would be nice/helpful to group all these heroes together side by side because, why not
so here’s an age ranking of all the younger generation heroes from young justice animated
it goes from oldest to youngest
fyi jaime and tye r listed in their wikis as born 1999 but i put them in 2000 because that seems to be the general consensus and what the show suggests
bart is technically born 2043 but he’s the equivalent of born in 2003
original roy harper was physiologically 15 when he was found in 2016 so i put him as the equivalent of 2001 even though he’s born 1992
violet is technically listed as born 2018 because of their fusion with mother box but i referred to their host body’s physiological age too.
