Weisman never does that with his shows. In his eyes, keeping a "never the end" feel to his shows means putting in some fascinating new development in the last twenty seconds of the finale episode (like Osborn surviving his apparent death in SSM, and the last-minute Darkseid reveal in YJ), which, depending on what the twist is and how it's done, can be just as fun as or far more disappointing than something like this (<-- I consider that the best way to do it... twist endings become, funnily enough, predictable when they're constantly done as Weisman feels compelled to do).

It's possible Netflix may direct him and Vietti to not do a last-minute twist, since if a fourth season were to never happen it might make Netflix look sort of bad. They might fear a "you revived a show but weren't going to finish it?" kind of response.

That's why I don't like Greg Weisman. He always tries to leave things unfinished in hopes that years later he can go back to it, but that never happens and thus the fans suffer with unresolved storylines.

Eat my ass cubed.

*CyberCubed* · 04-03-2016, 10:49 PM

Its because of Weisman, that the fans suffer with unresolved plotlines. He needs to stop thinking he's going to get 5+ years to work on a single show.

It's from Reddit, but I think it's legitimate.
Some guy met Peter David, one of the YJ writers (and got an autograph) and David had this to say:

Quote:

•Young Justice was in fact canceled due to poor toy sales even though very few toys were produced not because lack of views or quality
•Bloodlines is his favorite episode while the 1st draft copy he signed and gave me contains scenes cut from the final product
•After seeing the large increase of views on Netflix, Netflix approached him for a 3rd season not long ago, he's hoping for even more seasons after that
•He's not a fan of Teen Titans Go
•He also wrote episodes for the popular show Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien Force

I wouldn't get too excited or hopeful yet, but if this is true then it could be very promising.

Meh, there's no reason to get excited until anythings confirmed.

Given that new Justice League Action cartoon airing on CN in a few months, I think DC will see that as their new standard action superhero show and won't feel a need to bother with Young Justice.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 08-21-2016, 02:09 PM

Well, one will be airing on television and the other would be for online streaming. You can't really compare them that way since they're different mediums.

*CyberCubed* · 08-21-2016, 02:18 PM

Yeah, but DC still has to give it the go-ahead to netflix either way.

I don't know, I've completely lost interest. I loved Young Justice, I'll rewatch the show in the future, but at this point I don't really care much if it gets more episodes or not. Its only one DC show after all, they'll be dozens of new DC cartoons over the next 20-30+ years.

Its not like this is one specific franchise like Futurama that has no other iterations, voice actors, or writers. We'll see dozens of other versions of DC superheroes for the rest of time.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 08-21-2016, 02:25 PM

The problem is that Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network seem to think that cartoons that treat the audience like they aren't morons don't sell merchandise.
I bought the CD. I bought the Blu-rays. I even bought that ****** game. That's the problem with tying the life force of the show to the merchandise: anything that wasn't the soundtrack or the DVDs sucked balls. The toys sucked. The video game sucked, even after a delay of like 18 months. I think that was all the merchandise the show got in the first place.

I like TTG as much as the next guy, and I'm sure the new "Action" show will be all right, but I think it's important for the companies - even Marvel as well - to recognize that there IS an audience today for cartoons with intelligent, mature writing.
If YJ doesn't get renewed, then I hope at least in the near future SOMETHING happens with superheroes in animation that isn't in the vein of Ultimate Spider-Man or Teen Titans Go.

I feel bad for the fans whose strings are pulled thinking there's hope.

Then again with all the Nicktoon revivals and even Teen Titans returning (even if on a different form) I guess anything can happen but set your expectations accordingly.

A lot of those shows ended years ago though. Teen Titans ended in 2006, got a comedy revival a decade later.

Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, etc. all ended over a decade ago in the early 2000's...got revivals.

Young Justice ended back in...2013, I think? Its really only 3 years ago.

*drgon78* · 08-22-2016, 06:32 AM

Yes, it ended in 2013, but at least it got a second season that is more the Thundercats(2011) got and really liked that one.

At least there is hope it will get new life on Netflix now if only other series could get revived like Thundercats(2011), W.i.t.c.h., Green Lantern, He-Man(2002), Swat Kats, Pirates of Darkwater, etc. Basically every good cartoon that got only 1-2 seasons.

Peter David: "Yeah, that's a total misquote. Meetings are just wishful thinking at this point."

Oh well.

[Hey-Zeus], it's been six freaking months since Season 2 was added, and it trended for most of those months.

What more does Netflix need?!

Yeah, its dead Jim. I think its best for everyone to move on, they have a new DC Justice League show airing on CN soon.

You made a Star Trek joke!

+5 points for Hufflepuff!

Let's be real, CyberCubed would be in Gryffindor. It takes a certain amount of courage to post the nonsense that he does.

... I hadn't thought of it that way! A less educated, more awkward Ron Weasley? You're on to something, Cure.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 08-22-2016, 02:15 PM

I agree. CyberCubed would either be in Gryffindor, or the Sorting Hat would say that he possesses no qualities of any kind and he would be sent home.
