The last four or so episodes were good. And, who would have thought, those were the episodes where the original cast was together and moving the plot forward. What a concept!
The rest of the season was absolutely miserable. Beast Boys depression and Superboy wandering the Phantom Zone were dragged out with absolutely no development for episodes on end. We had two incredibly bizarre episodes dedicated to how amazing Christianity and Islam are, respectively, and the shows writing was absolutely not up to the philosophical task of making this work. The show has absolutely lost the plot with regards to The Light, Vandal Savage, and Darkseid, with these characters largely just standing around and never doing anything. To top it all off, the shoestring budget was constantly on display with still frames and choppy animation.
Greg Weisman is extremely talented, but I think he fundamentally misunderstands the appeal of his own show. Its like he wants this to be DC Universe: The Show but without a core cast of characters to latch onto theres no reason to care. Were bombarded with time skips and new teams and shitty new characters like Fred Bugg with two Gs, and it just robs us of the time we should be spending with the characters we fell in love with in S1. S4 paid lip service to the idea of focusing on those characters, but saddled them all with dull go-nowhere solo plots for 90% of the season, and still found plenty of time to focus on an ever growing roster of forgettable characters that just dilute the show.
The cracks in the formula showed even back in S2, with the time skip and new team being quite off putting at first, but everything did come together nicely in the end. Unfortunately, the writers werent able to pull the same trick again, with S3 and S4 being colossal steps down. The revival didnt live up to the hype, and now theres zero Young Justice hype left. I dont see a season five happening.
I really didn't understand what the whole islam stuff was about lol, it couldn't have been for our benefit I was cringing too hard and straight up skipped khalids prayer chanting part. It just made me wonder if they noticed they had a large middle east fanbase and were trying to cater to us or something XD
