Episodes like this help to break the whole idea that "DC heroes can't be relatable like Marvel heroes. They are gods among men, models to be inspire". DC heroes can be all idealistic heroes and still have flaws to overcome (ex: Superman needs to become so overworking and learn that his allies are able to handle the problems without him, Batman needs to stop being so isolate, Wonder Woman needs to learn to not be so quick to judge Man's World). Both DC and Marvel can have their heroes having personal arcs and flaws to overcome.
Wonder Woman teaching men to not judge women so quickly via reverse psychology cuz otherwise it's "too woke" hahaha I love your comment cuz most the lessons are lost on DC fans thru their toxic masculinity lens. But it's there. John even had to learn how to be more compassionate and human. They all had their lil arcs. Animated DC > live action
Funny because marvel "heroes" outside of Spiderman, Daredevil, God butcher Thor story and to a degree, the X-Men don't feel like heroes to me as time goes on and comparing the dynamics and stories.
This is what made Justice League/Unlimited so great. It tackled more serious and somber topics, but it also wasn't afraid to be silly and kind of dumb.
I don't know if it was intentional, but I love how in the beginning you say "... There is also a story about the Justice League finally realizing [cue music] *something, something, something changing your mind" and then you cut back to the essay
Season 2 is when these characters seem allowed to develop, change and interact differently/better than we've seen them anywhere else, yet still be in character.
The secret society two-parter is definitely a test on the justice league's teamwork as they very nearly lose because of their very real differences lead to personal resentment towards each other, but their bonds with each other helps the justice league to overcome very real issues to win the day. Also, Giganta is a highlight of the secret society two-parter for me.
Navigating friendships and personalities can be an almost impossible task, and odds are if you threw a bunch of people with the League's personality together in a room they probably wouldn't end up friends at all. In a way along with their superpowers they are also super friends, able to maintain relationships that most people would simply let fall apart.
As much as they prepare and practice to be an efficient crime fighting team, sometimes it’s really just pure dumb luck that gives them an edge in battle.
I think it could be interesting to see you explore things with some properties you haven't yet. For example, The Phantom. The Phantom, created by Lee Falk and first airing as a comic strip in February of 1937 (making him one of the oldest masked heroes there is) is a bit obscure in the US, despite his stories coming from an American author, and aspects of his design and character can be seen and felt in some of the more well-known masked superheroes today; The Phantom was the first hero to have pure white on his mask where the eyes were, a design sensibility Batman has followed suit on ever since his first publication, and you'll have noticed the date I gave even makes the Phantom genuinely older than Batman, but the Phantom also has a code that includes the avoidance of killing, which is something that more modern iterations of Batman also tend to follow through on as well. And now the Phantom is Popular in India, some parts of Africa, and even Australia, but he really hasn't had much of an audience since the rise in popularity of what we consider the mainstays of Marvel and DC really took off for the first time. But here is the thing about the Phantom is that he's just an ordinary guy that has trained himself to the peak of what a human is fully capable of, and has been passing down how it is done to the next generation; the Phantom's stories, in a sense, are about Legacy, Duty, and Responsibilities (especially familial responsibilities); there were some times in the history of DC and Marvel where each was actually publishing the Phantom's comics for a short time; one of those, Phantom 2040, was published back in the 1990s by Marvel and got turned int an animated series before the decade was up, and took a dystopian look at what our future could look like, with the new Phantom basically have to learn about his family's legacy because he's been kept in the dark about it because his sole known surviving relative wants him to live some semblance of a normal life, but the thing about Duties as a hero, especially when it's the family business, is that sometimes the call will force a response in a very loud way. The Phantom also got a live-action movie back around 1994 with Billy Zane in the title role, and the movie does a decent job of showing all the points I mentioned in a cinematic format.

One thing I dislike about this one is that at the end everyone is like ''it is what it is'' instead of actually sitting down and talking about their issues like adults, almost ceirtanly ensuring this will happen again
The fighting was the result of Grodd lowering the League’s inhibitions, causing them to say and do things they’d been holding back. While the emotions were real, the behavior was influenced by Grodd’s psychic powers.
Even though this episode had problems, i liked how the characters are a team and had their flaws. We really saw how much Bruce cared about Wally and knew his quirks and how he talks. Seeing Clark and Bruce's relationship is always a plus in my belt. Honestly Gorilla Grodd, Killer Frost, Parasite and Shade are really underrated in the DCAU
Great video! The principles you discussed about teamwork for the League somehow reminded me of the dynamic between Tony, Rhodey and Pepper from the Iron Man Armored Adventures 3d animated series. All three of them work as a very interestingly versatile (although not always super effective) unit in most episodes of the series. If you ever have the time, I highly recommend that you check out that show! Its pretty fun!
I love how you can get so much out of Justice League, which is a great show, while others get similar mileage out of High Guardian Spice, which is an atrocity of a show.
Justice league unlimited is the greatest superhero show to me because these animated characters feel so human and actually are friends. I always tear up when I watch the final scene of the show.
--No dad a girl and Green Lantern can't be on your team, one of them has to be on mine. -Why is that son? --Hawk girl was on an undercover mission to infiltrate and betray the Justice League and while doing so see lead Jon Stewart on for over 2 years although the league was able to forgive her John's heart wasn't. -What the hell have you been watching?
@@spaceace9103 is mostly a tour around our universe, The The Heroes, The villain and many things that never been seen before Where you been planning on turning the book into a comic making it, into its own universe 😁
@@darkalicornkingdoom3572 Yes, for both of those things. It'll be our first time with his the first heroes have powers while Some of them won't. The heroes and villains will be put into generations, generation 1 is where we start.
This really should've been a season 1 episode. I feel late s2 feels really random to suddenly bring this conflict up even if it was partially gorilla grodd fault
"Yea that's Femshep" LMAOOO i always get excited whenever Commander Shepard appears in other media, she's in literally everything undercover acting like even if you can fight can like a Krogan or run like a leopard her enemies can possibly defeat Commander Shepard
This is the one episode out of the entire JL\JLU series that I simply do not like. The entire premise is a childish, overdone trope of "hey, it's a show about a team, so let's have them bicker and fight until they break up, until at the end of the episode they make up and become friends again. yay!" What's worst is rhat it's never addressed again. By the following episode, their relationship has simply reset to what it was before any of it ever happened. instead of using those events as an opportunity for character development, the series simply acts as if they never happened. I simply do not like this episode.
You know I thought of a new and improved version of the Injustice league that is more dangerous than ever that would take after this episode and Lex’s pardon that version consist of Penguin (leader) Riddler Metallo Golden Glider Evil Star Shadow thief Silver Swan(Helen Alexandros) and this time they would attack them on a personal level by going after their love ones and they know their secrets and they had help by a group of individuals to be their surrogates of sorts.
He said who she is, she is a voice actor: "Jennifer Hale is a Canadian-born American voice actress. She is best known for her work in video game franchises such as Baldur's Gate, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, BioShock Infinite, Metroid Prime, Overwatch, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic."
@@Zthewise Don’t even bother explaining, I don’t think he bothered to pay attention to the vid at all. If he was really THAT concerned he would’ve either looked her up/ or payed attention to the vid..
Interestingly, this was one of the first episodes where green lantern actually makes constructs with his ring instead of just lasers and bubbles. Season 1 he literally never makes a construct which seemed weird to me as I rewatched it
"Every hit I take is a hit someone else doesn't have to" might be one of the most 'Superman' things I've ever heard.
He was so real for that.
Superman showing us all that he is in fact, a super man.
Dude got a point but Hawkgirl was mad? Bruh remember Darkseid
Right? It was a real dark moment in my opinion- it's a Superman that thinks of himself as above us
@@zyaicob I don't think it's that he saw himself as "above" us. Just that his place is to be between us, and harm. Our shield, not our overlord.
“I survived the loss of one family, And I’ll survive this one too.” That line is PAINFUL.
That is great character writing
"Donkey Kong secret society" caught me so off-guard that it wook like five seconds for me to process it.
Dude, I'm only in the comments right because I heard hearing this line! I'm still laughing!

That kind of talk is from people who don't understand the characters of the DCU. Like Zack Snyder
Fr. When people compare them to gods they forget the Greeks literally wrote the gods to be relatable, to be funny. The gods had human emotions.
Wonder Woman teaching men to not judge women so quickly via reverse psychology cuz otherwise it's "too woke" hahaha I love your comment cuz most the lessons are lost on DC fans thru their toxic masculinity lens. But it's there.
John even had to learn how to be more compassionate and human. They all had their lil arcs. Animated DC > live action
They can be whatever the writers want, they have all the problems regular people have, just a lil bit more Super.
Funny because marvel "heroes" outside of Spiderman, Daredevil, God butcher Thor story and to a degree, the X-Men don't feel like heroes to me as time goes on and comparing the dynamics and stories.
Also Batman smiles in this episode. It’s very unnerving.
Haha even the villains thought so
MM with the "STOP IT" AT 3:34 right before Hawkgirl calls WW a bitch is pretty hilarious.
He sounds so desperate to cut it off ASAP
@@1000MilesAway It sounds like a sound bite to censor swear words haha
IIRC Hawkgirl had that happen the most of the league. The most willing to swear, but then consequently the most interrupted beforehand.
This is what made Justice League/Unlimited so great.
It tackled more serious and somber topics, but it also wasn't afraid to be silly and kind of dumb.

Btw your brother is a war criminal.
Please clap
his intros are always so clean
Season 2 is when these characters seem allowed to develop, change and interact differently/better than we've seen them anywhere else, yet still be in character.
So glad you’re using “Something That Was Changing Your Mind” again. It’s just so perfect for your videos

Justice League Unlimited is the series just Got It. Great stories, Great characters, Great voice actors. it literally had Everything
Yes it was perfect, so perfect just watching this video has sent me to binge it once again

Forget the teamwork the league would be finish if Killer frost actually hit the right shapeshifter. It was all luck
You're right, but "hitted" isn't a word. Hit is already past tense.
As much as they prepare and practice to be an efficient crime fighting team, sometimes it’s really just pure dumb luck that gives them an edge in battle.
8:46 I just noticed that Superman disappears right before the full fade to black. Then noticed Batman disappeared for him. Truly in character.
You calling Gorilla Grodd different famous gorillas names was kinda funny
Yeah I found that funny too

Despite the commotion of this episode, this clearly shows they didn’t always get along and they have to work together!

4:09 gets me every time
Batman was just mad about paying for robots for them to destroy
😂😭
RIP clayface. and black manta, and literally half the villians.
I love these videos and I think the academic stuff is my favorite part
Every time you upload a video on justice league and unlimited, i end up going on a binge of episodes for a few nights
Likewise anytime you see a clip of JLU you justify another binge
Even superheroes have a tough time getting along.
Love it 😂 when you call Gorilla Grodd Donkey Kong and King Kong.
That little "get em" cracked me up when I first watched it.
Been loving these videos
Even the chef… 🧑🍳 😂
That last battle at the football game is probably one of my favorite animated fights of all time. I get chills when they zoom in on “…get ‘em!”
“… the Justice League finally realising…” *intro begins* “something, something…” is sooo🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 chefs kiss
Justice league unlimited is the greatest superhero show to me because these animated characters feel so human and actually are friends. I always tear up when I watch the final scene of the show.
The cut to the intro was so smooth

Good job.
This show is the gold standard.
I like how you keep calling grod different names lol
I love your channel man. I just finished Justice League last night because I’ve been so excited to get to JLU. Keep up the content man
Intro and outro hits way too hard
one of your best, man
