Young Justice: Quiet Conversations (2019)
A fitting conclusion to some plotlines and a great set-up for the finale
Continuing with it's multi-threaded, slice-of-life styled story this episode featured everything from cool action with Superboy, Forager, Black Lightning and Superman to body horror elements with Cyborgs transformation by the fatherbox and deeply emotional scenes with both violet visiting Gabrielle's family and Harper coming through to talking about her abusive father. Each of these plotlines is executed beautifully. Woven in between is Kaldur (now Aquaman) introducing the new water-bound Metateen from a few episodes back to Atlantis and being confronted with the shadow of his involvement with the 'anti-light'.
The general theme is taking care of those close to you, be it agreeing to be your clone brother's best man, finally breaking through to your son, finding people you can trust, helping the grieving or concidering how your actions reflect on those around you. Therefore it is only fitting that this episode also revealed that Kaldur has a new love, Wyynde, a background character who had a role in a tie-in comic book, after his first crush Tula died between seasons 1 and 2, confirming that he is the bisexual character Greg Weismann talked about being in the show since 2013.
All in all this episode reaps what the previous episodes established and takes full advantage of this seasons style of story telling. It also doesn't forget that there is a big finale ahead, with Metrons warnings and Superman confirming that Granny Goodness now has all the materials to complete her machine. -9/10-
Bonus Point for the strong message about abuse with an end card with hotlines for victims.
Young Justice: First Impression (2019)
Interesting new concept
What happens when the forces that have sworn to protect us are not able to do anything because the governments of the world have them in their grasp?
Beast Boy wants to rise up and make a difference! #WeAreAllOutsiders
This episode comes with some nice ideas about a team of young heroes deciding to act as a vigilante force for good, a callback to where it all started, using social media as a part of their campaign and they are making a good first impression. ;)
With cool fight scenes and a new-old foe this entry comes along as a bit too round on some edges, but hits all the right marks to introduce this new entity to the world of the show, finally validating this seasons sub-title.
+8,5/10+
