So Young Justice season 4 has started and now it's exclusive to HBO Max (whoda' guessed? Everyone.) My quick rundown of the seasons:
Season 1: absolutely fantastic. Peak DC Animated media. 10/10
Season 2: very good. Not quite up there with season 1 primarily because of the new characters but it's still very good. 9/10
Season 3: it starts off well but the problem, again, are the new characters and this time they're deeply unlikable or pandering. This one forces Cyborg into the storyline and we go through the motions with his bullshit yet again for the umpteenth time. The instant Cyborg is introduced the entire season just goes to shit. Plus there's Tara from Teen Titans, and yes, we go through that storyline where she double crosses everyone yet again. Then there's the Muslim character and she's really not very interesting. Her story is the same as any other young superhero learning how to deal with their shit which we've done multiple times in this show by now. Only difference is that she's immortal so they technically kill her off in extremely graphic ways. There's one episode where Lobo returns and he fires his hook weapon right into her fucking face and she's fine later. Only new character I liked was Forager. The returning characters don't have a lot to do mid way through the season. I couldn't finish the season because I just did not care. 5/10
The first two episodes for the new season are out and I'm going to give it a 2nd chance:

And the first episode is about racism. Martian racism but still... Oh boy.
I got through the two episodes and it really didn't feel like much happened aside from establishing a new villain. Looks like I'm skipping and just going to pretend the show ended at season 2.
