Sportsmaster is literally some olympic level athlete that is really good at every sport created and turned his life to crime after he got banned from competing, that's basically his background
It was because he rigged multiple tournaments for assuring he'd still win, or makes money off it, no? I remember he's the farthest from the word "fairplay"
So fun fact Wally West is the flash family member most proficient in hand to hand combat he actually took the time to train proper and eventually develop the infinite mass punch where at light speed his fist hit with the force of a small sun exploding. That's Kid Flash a few years out from this but still. Love Wally so much
I am very happy you guys instantly realized Garfield might be or become Beast Boy, few reactors Ive seen have done so. Its such a cool appearance if you know.
For the question on Beast Boy's origin, I believe the usual way it goes is his parents were rather neglectful zoologists on expedition in africa and Garfield got infected with a rare disease, and they had to make a serum from dna of a rare monkey or something to cure him. Though I think the doctor who was curing him was also a mad scientist that experimented on Garfield and himself, using the serum to give them both the Beast Boy powers
His father was a doctor researching how to reverse evolution so that he could revive extinct species to study. However his father was also neglectful telling his wife and son not to visit him at work prioritising his research over his family. When his father finally was successful he rushed to tell them the good news only to find out Garfield had contracted Sakutia a deadly disease that only the rare green monkey can survive. His father then uses his research to turn Garfield into a Green Monkey for 24 hours in order for the disease to pass safely. The procedure leaves Garfield’s skin green and gives him to ability to change into any animal he thinks of. When the rainy season hits all three are washed away on a small raft and Garfield’s father tells him to turn into a bird and fly away to save himself. Garfield is then forced to watch as his parents die going over a waterfall
2:19:32 Captain Marvel is his original name & name for his comics but because of Marvel Comics back in the 60s or 70s the comic name was changed to SHAZAM! but he still went by Captain Marvel in the comic obviously because if he called out his name he would transform back to normal. Young Justice and the Mortal Kombat vs DC game were the last times he used the Captain Marvel name because of Marvel comics winning the rights to the name in the 2010s charging Ms. Marvel's name going forward.
I love the Aquaman apologetics from this era. First Aquaman was the most outrageous part of the main cast in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. (Because surprise! Having super strength is useful in every context, not just in the ocean.) Then Aqualad being the leader and arguably the coolest member of the team in season 1 of Young Justice.
@@bthsr7113 i think most of the aquaman jokes come from people who grew up with the super best friends show from like the 60s or whatever in which i think aquaman was kind of a joke and other people just copy those jokes without context
@@666FallenShadowthat’s exactly what is is. Super Friends nuked the character of AquaMan….he almost didn’t recover from it. He barely recovered from it…the Justice League cartoon could only do so much and Jason Momoa is seen as well himself so yeah…there is still work on needed to be done
That moment at 3:57:47 is by far my favourite Batman moment across pretty much everything. Just a simple interaction that outlines everything between Batman and Robin. Robin might not have wanted Batman to hear him say “I don’t want to be THE Batman anymore”, but I think that’s exactly the conclusion Bruce wanted him to reach.
The subtitles saying foreign language every time Zatanna casts a spell is hilarious. But Zatanna's spells are very simple English. It's just backwards. You can play it in rewind to hear it
@@sortastupid if while watching season 2, you feel like you missed something it's because insteed of a direct secound season, they made a game (wich from what I've heard wasn't great) and then followed with season two so the story between the seasons is pretty much only in the game.
4:28:19 its the order in which they join or get added to the system. The Team is under the B series designations and trusted civilians are A, then Robin sets up G series in season 3 too
You probably already know this by now but captain marvel was shazams first name, but when Marvels captain marvel started becoming popular they had to change it.
Particularly DC stopped using Captain Marvel for a while, which is why Marvel could get away with theirs. But when DC brought Captain Marvel back they had to change the name
Actually what happen was that dc sued the publisher of Shazam which stopped his comics from being printed, when that happen marvel quickly took the opportunity to use the name since it wasn’t being used, since then, marvel has always held the rights stoping dc from using the name in the title
It's complicated. As I understand in the 1953 DC claimed Captain Marvel violated their copyright to Superman (after Captain Marvel started outselling Superman) and maliciously used litigation to force Fawcett to cease publication of Captain Marvel comics(I think as a settlement). Thus the trademark "Captain Marvel" lapsed leading to Marvel creating their own Captain Marvel in the 1967. (This character's name was Mar-Vell, Alias Walter Lawson) The character of Carol Danvers appearing for the first time later in the 60's DC then licensed the rights to the character Captain Marvel from Fawcett and relaunched the comic in 1972 but since Marvel now held the trademark for Captain Marvel they called the series Shazam but continued to call the character Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers then becomes Ms. Marvel in 1977 as a spin-off of Captain Marvel. The original Captain Marvel then dies in 1982. Then Carol Danvers becomes Binary in 1982, then Warbird in 1998, and then becomes Captain Marvel in 2012 around the same time DC officially renamed the mainline character to Shazam in 2011. Though DC still has the rights to the character and as such can refer to them as Captain Marvel whensoever they want.
Lol..the reason .. it because..marvel claimed the trading name.. dc can use Cap Marvel name as they want, but they can make comics titles in the name of cap marvel....cap marvel (shazam) is more popular and he was in comics for a long time alomst from the beginning of suprman..not because cap marvel is more papular 🤓🤓

Ypung Justice Season 1 truly is PEAK DC media and such a tightly fit excellent start to a great show and although later seasons are not as good as Season 1, its still great watching people appreciate the series more and more.
@@bthsr7113I'd argue both had opposite problems. I think the first season of JL was finding it's footing and ends on a high note. I don't think the characterisation or story was especially ground breaking to start off and powers were inconsistent. Young justice starts off amazing with great characterisation and an intriguing story that every episode helps progress in someway near enough. With the exception of Wally, everyone's powers are consistent and their abilities are well developed. Speedster get the short end of the stick but whatever. Then YJ falls off considerably after season 2.
@@bthsr7113 as much as i love those shows, i think YJ is better simply for the fact that it has an overarching story which makes it more compelling and captivating to watch. there is so many little details and foreshadowing moments that you might not notice on a first watch which makes it so satisfying to rewatch as well
1:48:10 Ra's al Ghul is voiced by actor Oded Fehr from both Deuce Bigalow movies, The Mummy 1 & 2, and Resident Evil movies, he also voiced Doctor Fate in the Justice League animated series & Justice League Unlimited animated series, Equinox in the Batman: Brave and the Bold animated series, and Mr. Freeze in the Batman Unlimited series & animated movie.
No lie, this version of Vandal Savage is hands down my favorite DC villain of all time. With just a few well placed moves he not only defeated the entire league, he brought them under his control. AND THAT WAS JUST PHASE ONE!
2:23:16 check out the Milestone Comics run where DC supported minority focused stories. Birthplace of characters Static, Rocket, Icon, and others. Also helmed by the great Dwayne Mcduffie who wrote many of the DC shows you react to
I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the DC content. Young Justice is a pillar of what good storytelling can do. Looking forward to more. Excellent content. CHEERS!
The control panel for Superboy's original pod was snapped clean off during the initial fight when they freed him, but the Shields were in the rebuilt one that was placed there after his liberation, meaning Luthor predicted Superboy would be coming back for the clone.
Funny thing is, we see Dick with no glasses on when he realizes they're at his school. It cuts to a photo of Dick holding a trophy in the case before it's destroyed. Also, that IS Shazam. Marvel and DC have been fighting over the patent over "Captain Marvel" for YEARS. So in the cartoons, they both use Captain Marvel, but Marvel got the live action patent, so Warner Bros had to call him Shazam.
Shazam was originally called Captain Marvel before Marvel Comics started a very long lawsuit. After the dust settled, Faucet Comics (and later DC Comics post acquisition) began to use his transformation command "Shazam" as his actual hero name
Damn, thought they take it slow but okay? I blame the assholes on Patreon and here. anyways glad you guys enjoyed I do recommend Justice League/Unlimited not as good but still th best.
Nah no one on patreon or here influenced this decision. This is one that was too far ahead so we pushed this out since the regular episodes were not hitting the channel average
Its the other way around imo Justice League/ JLU is overall better than YJ. YJ was great the ffirst few seasons but JLU was consistent all the way through
3:17:53 Abel’s House of Secrets is a reference to an old old anthology series DC used to publish, similar to “Detective Comics” or “Amazing Fantasy” before Batman and Spider-Man took over those books. Its companion book was House of Mystery, hosted by Cain.
3:50:00 No, Megan was still lying to them. She is the white "monster" we saw. She is a white Martian, and Martian Manhunter is a green Martian. On Mars, Green Martians hold the most power and influence, essentially dominating Martian society. White Martians make up a minority group, frequently subjected to discrimination from the Green Martians. The Red Martians, though smaller in number, are the ruling class. Despite all Martians sharing abilities like telepathy, shapeshifting, and flight, deep societal divisions persist, largely fueled by ingrained biases.
the League deals with heavy-duty shit on a regular basis, it makes sense to prepare the team to deal with failure and catastrophe now that they've decided they don't want to just be sidekicks on low-stakes adventures where they punch some guy with a cold gun. there's always gonna be real stakes and they need to learn what that feels like, it would've been fine if M'gann wasn't such a powerful telepath
In case it hasn't already been mentioned, Marvin and Wendy (from the school) were sidekicks to the Justice League (or "Superfriends") in the original Superfriends cartoon. The teacher who likes to snap his fingers is based on "Snapper" Carr, a sidekick/mascot to the Justice League in the comics. The "House of Secrets" was a horror anthology comic.
Fun fact, while it is true the Yellowstone is a supervolcano, it's probably never going to erupt. It's relieving enough pressure at a gradual rate to avoid it. However, it is still technically capable of it's cataclysmic eruption if it has some... outside help.
Damn. That was good. Thank you for holding my attention for a couple days. This was great to watch at work. Can't wait to see what y'all think of season 2
the show is officially set in Earth-16 of the DC 52 Multiverse. so take a shot every time you hear the number sixteen used in the show. Then be sure to livestream your liver transplants.

Not sure if anyone knows this but there is a young justice game that I think is cannon because it takes place between seasons 1 and 2 so just heads up.
Yea it is. But i think comics of young justice take place right after the game. And then there’s season 2. But I’m still mad about the time skip because we missed so many good arcs like Jason Todd, Cheshire rescuing red arrow, doom patrol and Barbra becoming batgirl
Wow did I forget how much I love Captain Marvel and Red Tornado. Superboy bringing in strays and leading the New Genesis group, Wally serving as a delivery boy, and Captain Marvel being a bridge between two worlds, those episodes and moments were the best. This was a fun 4+ hours.
If I remember right, Shazam was once named Captain Marvel but some name copyright shenanigans allowed them and Marvel to both use the name before DC changed it
Yeah, Captain Marvel was actually a really old comic hero, just 1 year younger than Superman. I believe it was due to the rise of Marvel movies and their connected comics that ended having DC decide to go with Shazam instead since they wanted to revitalize him and didn't want conflicting marketing.
He used to be owned by a company called Fausit Comics. The company was forced to stop printing Captain Marvel by DC because he used to be a Superman knockoff. Their trademark expired and other companies started using the name until the 70's when Marvel paid the then current trademark owners to not print books with the name and bought that trademark from them. DC could still call him Captain Marvel but his books were sold under the Shazam title until 2011 when they started calling him Shazam in comics as well
This show is the first DC media I ever saw when it first aired (2012 in Cartoon Network), so THIS is my Justice Leage, this is are my "sidekicks", and this are my villians... I was very sad when the show got canceled after S2 with that cliffthanger (you'll see) so the fact that fans were able to save the show and came back with 2 more seasons and more mature themes is something I'll always be proud of. Btw, little fun fact: Aqualad was created for THIS show, every other variant/version of him is post YJ... and the comics in between seasons are pretty well written imo! 😊
Ruff, some comics that I think you should check out is Static Season One and Shadows of Dakota; but may be a little biased towards those, Teen Titans series by Kami Garcia, and the Nightwing volume “Leaping into the Light”, and maybe Teen Titans and Titans Rebirth you may like 2:23:16
Fun fact: Martians aren't really weak to fire, they just have pyrophobia. Because Martians have so much control of their bodies and minds to macrolevel, when they believe fire can hurt them, then it does. PS: It is canon Oreos are heavily addictive to them.
@@sortastupid you should have. Apokalips is the name of the supposed First Mutant an omega level threat capable of destroying and creating entire worlds. He was the villain of the last X-Men movie. The story goes. He is essentially a cross of Vandel Savage (DC), Mr. Sinister (Marvel), and Thanos.
3:46:00 Many immigrants find television to be a great way to learn language and culture in a way that's natural. Only, she can shapeshift lol. Makes sense that she would do this.
Kid flash is my favorite character in this show and his birthday episode aired on my birthday. Because of that the episode always held a special place in my heart (pun intended). Such a sweet episode.
Please continue on to season two! The first season is probably the best, it's certainly the most well executed and planned out, but the others certainly have great moments as well. At one point in the video you guys mentioned comic recommendations which haven't been adapted into other mediums. Some of my favorites from DC that meet those criteria include Infinite Crisis and 52. Infinite Crisis leads right into 52 and, it's worth noting that Infinite Crisis benefits from reading Geoff Johns' run on Teen Titans first. That's the comic run which most heavily informed the team composition that we see in this Young Justice series.
Its really too bad this didnt perform as well - i love this shoe and your reactions! Its also great to see you guys loving it too Cant wait to see season 2!
Also in terms of dc reaction suggestions, I'd recommend: - Batman The Brave and The Bold, a fun and campy batman show where he teams up with various heroes, including Plastic Man as a regular recurring character, alongside other characters like Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. It's a great show that gives you a crash course on DC as a whole, and fits your comedy style - Batman vs Dracula, a movie that is exactly what it sounds like, and if you like that movie you can check out the show it ties into - Justice League crisis on two earths: My personal favorite DC movie, features Justice League vs a world where they are the evil ones
Between that line about why he trained Robin, and the basketball Downtime scene, we already have one of the best "Bruce by measure of fatherhood" Batman versions. Those scenes show he cares for his adopted son, and not just in a distant way.
Captain marvel and Shazam are the same character in the DC universe. There was a lawsuit that was drawn up by marvel a long time ago trying to get them to change his name. They lost that lawsuit because you cannot trade mark words.
Sportsmaster is literally some olympic level athlete that is really good at every sport created and turned his life to crime after he got banned from competing, that's basically his background

3:10:57 The costume mal is wearing "Superman done right" is actually Superboy's costume from the comics.

Specifically his original and sometimes current costume. In the early 2000s he rocked the t shirt and jeans that Connor normally wears in this show.
I love that it's also included in the episode with Secret, who was part of the Young Justice team in the late 90's comic^.^

@@sortastupid damn what a shame I love this show and the recations to it, well all your dc stuff. Surprised it doesn’t get the views :(
@@sortastupid oh, sorry for talking like an asshole than. Still glad you all enjoyed cause this show gets better and better every season!
Its the other way around imo Justice League/ JLU is overall better than YJ. YJ was great the ffirst few seasons but JLU was consistent all the way through
3:49:39 glad you noticed Garfield's eye color changed after his blood transfusion not many reactors noticed.
I love, love, love Young Justice!! It is in my Top 3 favorite DC shows of all time. Do Season 2 ASAP!!
Welp, time to binge a binge of one of my Top 10 favorite DC Shows that I have watched countless times and somehow never get bored of seeing.
3:17:53 Abel’s House of Secrets is a reference to an old old anthology series DC used to publish, similar to “Detective Comics” or “Amazing Fantasy” before Batman and Spider-Man took over those books. Its companion book was House of Mystery, hosted by Cain.
3:40:59 Batman gaslighting with the “you need to keep watching”💀
Such a good show, and S2 only gets better.
Bro young justice used to be my favorite show when i was younger, I lowkey completely forgot abt it until now tho
3:50:00 No, Megan was still lying to them. She is the white "monster" we saw. She is a white Martian, and Martian Manhunter is a green Martian. On Mars, Green Martians hold the most power and influence, essentially dominating Martian society. White Martians make up a minority group, frequently subjected to discrimination from the Green Martians. The Red Martians, though smaller in number, are the ruling class. Despite all Martians sharing abilities like telepathy, shapeshifting, and flight, deep societal divisions persist, largely fueled by ingrained biases.
The No Win scenario was scarring as hell. Why the League thought that was a good idea I'll never know
the League deals with heavy-duty shit on a regular basis, it makes sense to prepare the team to deal with failure and catastrophe now that they've decided they don't want to just be sidekicks on low-stakes adventures where they punch some guy with a cold gun. there's always gonna be real stakes and they need to learn what that feels like, it would've been fine if M'gann wasn't such a powerful telepath
Waiting for season 2!
Oooo jeez, now we need season 2 react!!!
Episode 20 is by far my favorite character dive episode this season
Its an amazong series, sad DC stuff is not getting enough viee but happy you're enjoying the series so much. Beem a pleasure rewatch, waiting for S2
I'm so excited. This series just gets better and better every season.
In case it hasn't already been mentioned, Marvin and Wendy (from the school) were sidekicks to the Justice League (or "Superfriends") in the original Superfriends cartoon. The teacher who likes to snap his fingers is based on "Snapper" Carr, a sidekick/mascot to the Justice League in the comics. The "House of Secrets" was a horror anthology comic.
Fun fact, while it is true the Yellowstone is a supervolcano, it's probably never going to erupt. It's relieving enough pressure at a gradual rate to avoid it. However, it is still technically capable of it's cataclysmic eruption if it has some... outside help.
Damn. That was good. Thank you for holding my attention for a couple days. This was great to watch at work. Can't wait to see what y'all think of season 2
the show is officially set in Earth-16 of the DC 52 Multiverse. so take a shot every time you hear the number sixteen used in the show. Then be sure to livestream your liver transplants.
When there's trouble , you know who to call: Young Justice
The scientist reporting to the Light. His VA is the late Rene Auberjonois, who was also a guest VA for the Justice league series & of course the actor for Odo on star Trek: deep space nine. Rip
3:42:03 The USA tried to take Canada. From memory, the last time America tried the White House got burned.
There's a channel (several actually) that create a sort of Visual novel style video of comics.
Comicstorian is the channel
Not sure if anyone knows this but there is a young justice game that I think is cannon because it takes place between seasons 1 and 2 so just heads up.
Yea it is. But i think comics of young justice take place right after the game. And then there’s season 2. But I’m still mad about the time skip because we missed so many good arcs like Jason Todd, Cheshire rescuing red arrow, doom patrol and Barbra becoming batgirl
Wow did I forget how much I love Captain Marvel and Red Tornado. Superboy bringing in strays and leading the New Genesis group, Wally serving as a delivery boy, and Captain Marvel being a bridge between two worlds, those episodes and moments were the best. This was a fun 4+ hours.
4:42:13 The first robin? Can't tell if this was just a joke but Dick is the first Robin. Damian, Tim, and Jason have become Robin yet.
When Superboy says he hates monkeys for no apparent reason the reason is in the young justice comic
Really glad you enjoyed this one in the end!
love the question of who will e leader and love how the show makes that a point of conversation
If I remember right, Shazam was once named Captain Marvel but some name copyright shenanigans allowed them and Marvel to both use the name before DC changed it
Yeah, Captain Marvel was actually a really old comic hero, just 1 year younger than Superman. I believe it was due to the rise of Marvel movies and their connected comics that ended having DC decide to go with Shazam instead since they wanted to revitalize him and didn't want conflicting marketing.
He used to be owned by a company called Fausit Comics. The company was forced to stop printing Captain Marvel by DC because he used to be a Superman knockoff. Their trademark expired and other companies started using the name until the 70's when Marvel paid the then current trademark owners to not print books with the name and bought that trademark from them. DC could still call him Captain Marvel but his books were sold under the Shazam title until 2011 when they started calling him Shazam in comics as well
The school bus! What about the children!!😂
This show is the first DC media I ever saw when it first aired (2012 in Cartoon Network), so THIS is my Justice Leage, this is are my "sidekicks", and this are my villians... I was very sad when the show got canceled after S2 with that cliffthanger (you'll see) so the fact that fans were able to save the show and came back with 2 more seasons and more mature themes is something I'll always be proud of. Btw, little fun fact: Aqualad was created for THIS show, every other variant/version of him is post YJ... and the comics in between seasons are pretty well written imo! 😊
Ruff, some comics that I think you should check out is Static Season One and Shadows of Dakota; but may be a little biased towards those, Teen Titans series by Kami Garcia, and the Nightwing volume “Leaping into the Light”, and maybe Teen Titans and Titans Rebirth you may like 2:23:16
Ooooh, yeah! The whole season at once, that's what I was needed
The fact they didn’t react to Jesse McCartney (yes that one) voicing Robin/Dick Grayson is so sad to me 😭
Fun fact: Martians aren't really weak to fire, they just have pyrophobia. Because Martians have so much control of their bodies and minds to macrolevel, when they believe fire can hurt them, then it does. PS: It is canon Oreos are heavily addictive to them.
i am going to have to watch this one over a couple of days love it btw
The training episode reminded me HEAVILY of Halo Reach
Jonah Hex stuff is pretty awesome and lowkey. Plus DC did a whole bunch of animated comic shorts that are here on youtube.
I’m ready for season 2!
3:49:32
Oh look a bite from a money right after alien dnd was introduced into the blood stream 👀
I need season 2 asap lol
Ruff mixing dc apokalips with the marvel Apocalypse is killing me
I’m not because I didn’t even know marvel had an apocalypse
@@sortastupid you should have. Apokalips is the name of the supposed First Mutant an omega level threat capable of destroying and creating entire worlds. He was the villain of the last X-Men movie. The story goes. He is essentially a cross of Vandel Savage (DC), Mr. Sinister (Marvel), and Thanos.
@@sortastupidRemember that en Saba Nur guy at the end of X-Men 97 and the guy who had the playing card, that's apocalypse, same person
Ah interesting
Can’t wait for your reaction to season 2
3:46:00 Many immigrants find television to be a great way to learn language and culture in a way that's natural. Only, she can shapeshift lol. Makes sense that she would do this.
1:42:40 i love that it says speaks Latin when shes speaking backwards
such a perfect season 1 and season 2 is EVEN BETTER
"Quite possibly the worst Joker I have ever seen"
Someone has forgotten Jared Leto exists
"Do you think they nerfed Four Loko because it allowed you to respec all your stats into Strength?"
3:44:57 they actually changed his origin history on this one 3:45:51 the original one is quite different
Dick Grayson's Robin laugh (1:39:54) is just one of my favorite things about his Robin
A prison with Waller as the Warden and Hugo Strange has the head physician and shrink. Yep, NOTHING can go wrong here.
Kid flash is my favorite character in this show and his birthday episode aired on my birthday. Because of that the episode always held a special place in my heart (pun intended). Such a sweet episode.
Please continue on to season two! The first season is probably the best, it's certainly the most well executed and planned out, but the others certainly have great moments as well.
At one point in the video you guys mentioned comic recommendations which haven't been adapted into other mediums. Some of my favorites from DC that meet those criteria include Infinite Crisis and 52. Infinite Crisis leads right into 52 and, it's worth noting that Infinite Crisis benefits from reading Geoff Johns' run on Teen Titans first. That's the comic run which most heavily informed the team composition that we see in this Young Justice series.
Its really too bad this didnt perform as well - i love this shoe and your reactions! Its also great to see you guys loving it too
Cant wait to see season 2!
4:10:20 That sound immediately reminded me of the Shadowkeep OST, specifically the Salvation Track.
Also in terms of dc reaction suggestions, I'd recommend:
- Batman The Brave and The Bold, a fun and campy batman show where he teams up with various heroes, including Plastic Man as a regular recurring character, alongside other characters like Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. It's a great show that gives you a crash course on DC as a whole, and fits your comedy style
- Batman vs Dracula, a movie that is exactly what it sounds like, and if you like that movie you can check out the show it ties into
- Justice League crisis on two earths: My personal favorite DC movie, features Justice League vs a world where they are the evil ones
brave and the bold is so good introduced me to blue beetle as a kid too
Watching them beast for Artemis to appear is funny lol"WHO ARROW IS THAT?"
3:57:50 Batman’s hardest line.
Between that line about why he trained Robin, and the basketball Downtime scene, we already have one of the best "Bruce by measure of fatherhood" Batman versions. Those scenes show he cares for his adopted son, and not just in a distant way.
One series I continue to suggest to you guys is the DC series called Static Shock.
Let’s gooooo so happy you’ve got this out !
Please do the whole show 🙏
Captain marvel and Shazam are the same character in the DC universe. There was a lawsuit that was drawn up by marvel a long time ago trying to get them to change his name. They lost that lawsuit because you cannot trade mark words.
3:57:40 One of the best exchanges in all of cartoon history. Gives me chills every time.
