Young Justice: Invasion (Season 2) (DVD-R)

I will start similarly to my season 1 review by saying I like animation and am always looking for new animated series. I am not a “superhero” fan or a DC/Marvel guy, but 90s superhero shows shows like Batman TAS, Spider-Man TAS, and X-men TAS are three of my favorites because they are just really good animated series. I watched season 1 due to a lot of hype behind it and after hearing Greg Weisman was involved and Gargoyles being one of my favorite series due to such a great story. I was pretty underwhelmed and a little disappointed by season 1 and thought the story was not really that great and it seemed a little dumb honestly. Well season 2 was much better and I found myself enjoying it a lot more even if the story still had issues. The larger cast of characters and the core group being more experienced helped because in season 1 it seemed like every episode was “the rookie team is sent on a mission that was supposedly a nothing mission because they weren’t ready for the big mission, only to be faced against a super villain who has some earth threatening scheme” and it just seemed stupid that it happened every time. This season was a little more coherent with the story and due to more teams it didn’t seem as dumb when they had a serious run in. Also I get double agent missions should be kept close to the vest but Nightwing keeps everyone in the dark except Artemis and Kid Flash… really… the two that have taken a leave of absence from the team and are intending to retire and essentially shouldn’t even be allowed access to that info are included but Megan and Superboy aren’t told… Batman wasn’t included in the scheme… Aquaman had no say so I’m Aqualad taking the mission. Then you don’t tell everyone after Artemis “death” and allow them to grieve like that… then you put multiple team members lives at risk and have your base of operation destroyed. I don’t buy it, but whatever I really didn’t let it bother me as much as I let on but there are some huge flaws and issues with the story. Also Greg Weisman obviously pulled some David Xanatos into his Lex Luther character, I found myself visualizing Xanatos just about everytime I saw Lex. I really liked Nightwings character but he suffered from lack of usage, Sportsmaster was very enjoyable this season as well Cheshire as always. If the ending surprise holds true and they don’t pull something to reverse what it appears happens that was very shocking end. I actually am much more excited about continuing to season 3 than I was about starting season 2 at this point. UPDATE: Yeah... just stop at season 2. Season 3 is some of the worst excuse for a superhero show I've ever seen.

My collection of Young Justice is finally complete from Season 1 to 2. This continues Season Two of Young Justice. The disks are two. The first one is dark blue and the second one is red. Both consist of five episodes each. Compared to the previous disks of Young Justice, the menu is different and simple. The main menu is the cover of the DVD disk. The rest of the screens once you go through them are just red. There are subtitles, and audio changes. There are three special episodes available and they are from Static Shock. It makes sense to add these episodes since Static Shock is a character introduced to the Young Justice world. His biography of his powers have changed. There wasn't enough time to really see Static Shock in Young Justice. From the episodes seen, Virgil is characterized as someone in my opinion: loyal, brave, and a teen who is okay with his powers and idolizes the heros at some moments. Besides Virgil, I really enjoyed seeing new characters such as Asami, Tye, and Ed. Then I saw the original Roy Harper become Arsenal. Everything came together. I saw a lot of characters in the spotlight and I wanted to see more moments from certain characters. I saw Zatanna and Rocket be totally awesome. I saw relationships develop. There was sisterly love between Jade and Artemis. There was a problem with Mal and Karen that started from the begining to the end. It showed the issue of growth. I didn't really understand Wonder Girl and Robin because it was so sudden. It was like whoa. Compared to the first season where all the relationships developed had a few hints here and there. That one was surprising. I really wanted to see Jaime reunite with Tye as himself. The season wrapped up pretty nicely done since there were only ten episodes. We learn more about Blue Beetle, the scarabs, the Reach, the War world and the characterization with a lot of characters. We see it all wrap up and show the madness to going undercover and solving the Blue Beetle. I really didn't expect the last episode since it closed the door and opened up a few more doors. I've seen a possible season three plot occur if the show does pick up again. It has been said that there is a possible resurrection of Young Justice if more products are bought concerning Young Justice such as the upcoming video game. No season three was ordered due to the lack of sales from action figures. Yes, action figures. It takes more to run the show with all the money it takes. if you have questions, you can look it up and see all the possible reasons why there is no season three. I bought the series since I buying it to view just online or on Itunes is more expensive and useless since I prefer using my DVD player or computer to view it. Overall i enjoyed the series and I would recommend anyone who just wants to watch it. If you prefer it itunes or amazon then go for it.

As with most characters literary or otherwise, every few years a new iteration of a property is derived to present the most contemporary depiction of their universe. While some are memorable (Batman: The animated Series, Superman: The animated Series, Justice League, Teen Titans, Batman Beyond), many often fall short of the mark (Legion of superheroes, Zeta Project, Static Shock (Sucks), The Batman (Uuugggh), or at best simply fail to live up to the success of past interpretations. Young Justice chronicles the adventures of the younger counterparts of the DC universe's more familiar ensemble of heroes as they adjust to venturing out on their own and forming a a team to combat threats the Justice League cannot otherwise address. And unlike many of the other disappointing depictions of some of DC's most beloved icons, this is one of the better DC animated series available. The story lines in provide the viewer with just the right amount of insight into each of the jr leagues cast of characters, without focusing on one or two. There are enough cameos from the greater DC universe to appease even the most die-hard fans. And the occasional appearance of Bruce greenwood as batman is always welcome. The animation is stellar, and there never feels like there is a throwaway episode in terms of the animation. Similarly the artists have done a remarkable job of creating modern versions of the characters, that are true to there origins, but appealing to a younger audience. As a guy who is pushing 30, no children, very active, a firefighter, martial arts instructor, who is super handsome, I very much looked forward to each Saturday afternoon and finding this recording on my dvr.

Great TV series. Thankful that I have it on DVD now.

Young Justice: Invasion is a great animated production using classic and modern DC hero characters with some top notch storytelling. Worth a shot for any fan of the DC Universe....at anytime. I was so glad for the prestine condition it arrived in too. Very pleased with this product.

日本語字幕はありません。北米版でしたが、ブルーレイのリージョンはアメリカと日本は共通でしたので普通にパソコンやテレビで見る事ができました！！！ 内容は、5年後のヤングジャスティスから始まります。 ヤングジャスティスよりはややシリアスかも。。 英語はやや難しめですが、英語字幕をつけてみればわかりやすいと思います。

One of the best cartoons I have seen in a long time. It has relatable characters and an engaging storyline, and it's not afraid to tackle some darker themes. But beware: once the obsession starts, it won't go away again. ;)

Arrived a little before expected which was amazing. Good image quality and in perfect conditions. It’s region 1, so if you don’t have a region free Blu Ray it would be difficult to watch.

Attention dvd américains et pas italiens donc mauvaise zone
