    Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated

    Hello all,

    Just got an email from Brony Soprano concerning my health (given that my last blog was about me getting Covid, I understand that some might be a bit jittery). Rest assured, I overcame Covid and am in good health lately (probably better health because I've started working out some).

    And this is why I play Tzeentch

    Well, after nearly two years of dodging and playing it safe, I've finally been "blessed" by Grandfather Nurgle's plague. I tested positive for Covid this afternoon.

    Big news!

    I'm gonna be an uncle come July!

    Rest assured the kid will be raised as a proper servant of the Emperor if I have anything to say about it.

    Merry Christmas to you all :pinkiehappy:

This title made me panic. Let's see how this goes.

Remember that in fanfiction land the sexuality of a character is flexible... except for male characters who are always gay for some reason *bangs head against desk* and there is a reason why I don't do much in Naruto or Harry Potter anymore.

But yeah that sounds pretty bad, not as bad as the others though. Honestly she would have good potential as a OC if the CCs weren't butchered. Also, hell yeah I would clone the girl that make explosions with her mind.

Now I am reminded of another DC fic with a Sue... which was the whole point and to show that a Sue can be fixed of her Sueness

I like YJ. However, my fics for that series are limited to the sequel fics Young justice: Darkness Falls and Young Justice: Titans. Continuations of the show, where the author slightly transitions the show into more Teen Titans Territory, but with more clever works. Continuing the story, and adding new spins on old characters. (I found his YJ version of Doomsday to be my favorite revamp) This just depresses me.

2368232 That fic sounds interesting... I must find it

And while cloning the girl who can create explosions would be cool, given the options she kind of loses out... at least in my mind. Might have to rethink that

And I probably will stumble across one of those "Every guy is gay" stories, and My Immortal doesn't exactly count

Ok, that wasn't as abad as I thought. It was really unnecessary, but comic books have so many obscure characters in them that I've seen ones just as uninteresting. And it barely impacted the canon at all. It was still bad, but at least it was mercifully harmless.
Also, I do think Boom-Boom is a good name. But an X-Man already used it.

2368266
Trouble with Sues, it's an interesting read and I would check out the writers other stories. One of the few people that can redeem Hans from Frozen in a believable fashion.

Then you aren't looking hard enough. Though it only seems like that given my frustrations with those two fandoms and that I can't really search by my favorite ships anymore on FFN. UST the most evil and vile acronym in fanfiction, the excuse give to any and every hero/villain ship in the universe.

2368277 In the end, it is rather harmless. My biggest gripe is about the whole "not telling Gordon when you had the chance" bit

I am a Young Justice and YJ Abridged fan. I don't read these reviews though. I'll keep 2368258 's in mind though.

Does anyone know how that alleged return to television and third season are coming along?

2368357 Is that really happening? because I haven't heard anything about it

2368381
Good grief, no, I haven't any clue that it's 'really' happening. That was just speculation I heard awhile back. I seriously doubt it. I haven't thought about Young Justice in a long time until you made this blog...

Actually, that's not entirely true. Whenever I watch Attack on Titan, I think about a crossover with Long Shadow involved.

As someone who is a HUGE fan of Young Justice... Let me prepare for this...

Let's move on with the review...

You are now humming Linkara's theme song

... Welcome to Atop the 4th Wall, where bad comics burn.. Linkara's gonna teach you all... Gosh, dang it! Now it's in my head!

Start placing your bets for how long it takes for them to die.

Oh, you don't know that. Just because Spider-Man, and Daredevil, Superman, Batman, Wolverine, Storm, Black Panther, Professor X, Robin and Hulk lost a parent doesn't mean that... No, you're right, they're toast. 5 minutes.

Mary Sue button, why haven’t you shown up yet?

It got tired of waiting for us to get the message, so it rented itself out.

Actually, these characters are drifting slowly towards OOC, so I’m just going to jump the gun and start calling Batman and Robin Crazy Steve and Boy Moron (with regards to Linkara for Crazy Steve).

People write fanfiction about Crazy Steve?!... It's official... I'm in hell... I have sinned in my life... and this is my punishment...

I can’t say that I’ve met a lot of abuse victims, but I’m sure they don’t just chat up people like they haven’t got a care in the world.

I have and normally, they don't. There are rare exceptions, but with the amount of trauma going here, it's completely unrealistic how she is behaving.

And you made it harder on yourself by NOT TELLING THE COMMISSIONER, WHO YOU HAD ON SPEED DIAL, WHAT WAS GOING ON!

There shouldn't even be a choice. She should be forced to stay someplace where she can get help, for her safety as well as everyone else's. With all the physical and mental trauma she's gone through, she would most likely be a liability rather than a benefit.

Meanwhile, Zatanna cries in a corner.

Who's the asshole that made Zatanna cry?! I'll kill them! I'll kill them all! :flutterrage:

She asks if they want to play video games.

Wow... not even in my wildest nightmares did I ever see that one coming... From Teen Titans maybe... But not Young Justice... (I'm not dissing Teen Titans, it would just fit better there)

BLACK CANARY IS NOT A LESBIAN!

She's not a prostitute either, but that didn't stop Frank Miller.

“Actually, there is one I would like to see. The one they call Boom-Boom. I would like to asses her, maybe make a clone.”

OH, MY GOD! They turned Vandal Savage, one of the most bad ass villains in the Young Justice series into a pervert! Everybody, run for your lives! Escape this tragic fate! End it before it has a chance to begin!

Can I get a fic that doesn’t have terrible fight scenes?

Well, what about... No, wait... Um... how about... No, that one sucked too... Or maybe... No, that one sucked... I've got nothing. But here's a good fight scene.

... This fan fic... Sucks... I'm sorry you had to poison your eyes with that garbage. Don't know if you're a Ninja Turtles fan or not, but since the new movie came out, here's another fight scene...

2368465 Based on the information I've heard, the show is gone. Which is upsetting because it had so much potential and it all went to waste.

2368284 Unfortunately, it's not the first time someone's flubbed the Gordon character. Heck, he was essentially useless under most writers until Frank Miller's "Year One."

2368798

Oh, you don't know that. Just because Spider-Man, and Daredevil, Superman, Batman, Wolverine, Storm, Black Panther, Professor X, Robin and Hulk lost a parent doesn't mean that... No, you're right, they're toast. 5 minutes.

And Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, the Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Falcon, Star-Lord, Gamora, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Speedy, Blade, Iron Fist, Elektra, Cyclops, Shazam, Green Arrow....

I loved that show. I still think TV execs(especially the Cartoon Network ones) should be first against the wall when the revolution comes. As for the fic, to be quite honest, it sounds more annoyingly bad than entertainingly bad.

2369513
No, the ones at Nickelodeon! I blame them for how Korra season 2 went, and forcing a love triangle!
