We spent twice as much time being told that Martian society is full of shitty racists as we did actually seeing that. Now that I really think about it, this feels like a problem plaguing this entire season. Instead of seeing Amazing Man at work, battling the racism of his day along with, I don’t know, Per Degaton or something, we get to watch another two minute motion comic sequence of everyone going back to wherever they’re supposed to go to start the next episode. Instead of a Superman/Superboy flashback showing us Kal’s regrets, we’re treated to rehashed Arrowette story beats from season one. Which would be annoying but not a deal-breaker had the episode had more redeeming qualities to it. We get to be told them, and then move on. Onyx tells us how she drifted away from her grandfather, Amazing-Man, and into the arms of the League of Shadows.īut we don’t get to see either of these stories. The B-plot this week is seven minutes of Kal dancing around telling Jon that Conner is dead, and then telling Lois about all the regrets he had about their relationship that he can’t fix now that Conner’s gone.
Or at least they would have been interesting had we actually been shown them. This purported new direction for the League is obviously BS, but at least the mystery of where it might be going is still interesting.Īlso interesting: the stories that Superman and Onyx tell us about their pasts. He gets a little backup from Ra’s and a few glares from Talia and Damian. Once there, Sensei acts more like a therapist than a deadly martial artist, talking Onyx and Cheshire through their years of trauma and swearing to Artemis that the League’s new purpose is to help these kids they once betrayed. After the team escapes (with Orphan choosing not to kill Shiva), Jade breaks down when Artemis tries to get her to live a normal, hero-ish life, and flees back to Infinity Island to pick a fight with Sensei. We keep jumping from pairing to pairing in a well blocked, well choreographed action sequence. What follows is a really well done, disorienting, jumpy fight in total darkness. Oracle gives us one excuse for an infodump (Orphan needs more time to break out of her chains), so Tigress gets Shiva and Scandal to recap the last two episodes with a little more MWA-HA-HA villainy added to it before Oracle cuts the lights. The episode picks up more or less where the last left off – with a flashback to Artemis and Jade’s earlier days, and then a cut to Cheshire, Tigress, Onyx, Oracle’s invisible drone, and a still-shackled Orphan surrounded by Light goons.

And yet, here we are with Young Justice: Phantoms, where “I Know Why the Caged Cat Sings” spends most of its run time on infodumps that hint at a MUCH more interesting series of events and characters than the ones put on screen. Young Justice Season 4 Episode 8Ī series that once ended prematurely and was resurrected by fan passion should not spend so much time on maudlin navel gazing.
