Saturday Morning Superheroics - 3/24

So, new eps of Young Justice, Green Lantern and Thundercats this morning.

Thundercats was awesome, as usual. Panthro's new arms seem a little silly with their stretching gimmick, though.

Superboy Clone #2 seems almost Bizzaro-like in his crazy rage, down to the backwards S on his chest (ouch, by the way, burning that on with his heat vision. Also, we now know why Superboy can't fly or use heat vision himself, but he at least has a limited fix for that.

I'm still struggling to warm up to the new GL series.

Green Lantern was a bit mundane. I'm just not getting interested in the exploration of turning a Red Lantern into a good guy arc.

Young Justice was also just so so. I don't really care about Cadmus or another super clone. I'm betting he is going to become Bizarro though. I actually found the discussion about potential new members more entertaining than the main plot, and that's a sad thing. The last episode was great though so I'm not too upset at one being slightly off.

Ben 10 was pretty good. I'm looking forward to part 2. Most the time I just let B10 run in the background while I'm doing other stuff and I occasionally glance over. This time I watched it completely while ignoring other stuff. I don't know if it was a repeat or not but I know I hadn't seen it yet.

I like the new Jackalman. I like Panthro's robot arms, but not the fact that they stretch.

Ben 10:UA - 1st of a 2 part episode of the group fighting Cthulhu like being.

Thundercats - Panthro's first set of robot arms, high comedy. Also hate the Plastic-Man type arms. New enemies are OK and the whole brother betrayed side story is going to be annoying to some degree.

Green Lantern - Great, now they have a part hot girl robot - part hot girl construct AI as a fourth member. Next week Hal plays Kirk.

Young Justice - More reveals, more graying up members of the team. Obvious lead in to who's new in the JL and who joins the rookie league.

Oh and for those who miss them, all four repeat on Sunday in the same 9-11am EDT time slot on CN.

Did Artemis get put on a bus or something? She's basically been absent the last couple of episodes, though she did have like one line in telling Wally about Megan.

Also, Clark needs to pull the stick out. The more he ignores Connor, the better chance he has of going all dark smashy. Clark's basically making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Feel kinda bad for Dubillex now.

I thought Cheetara giving up so easily seemed really really off.

The new Thundertank has a bridge. Tanks do not have bridges; that thing is halfway to a Thunder-Bolo.

They had Lion-o's rival hostage, so his judgement is clouded. She simply clarified it.

As for the Thundertank, I think the original still exists as part of this new model, tucked underneath and between the paws of this hulked up version.

In case you do miss them on saturday morning they show them again on sunday morning same time.
