Young Justice is an American superhero animated television series developed by Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman for Cartoon Network. Despite its title, it is not a direct adaptation of Peter David, Todd Dezago and Todd Nauck's Young Justice comic series, but rather an original story set in the DC Universe with a focus on teenage and young adult superheroes

Fun fact: Lor Zodd, enemy of the Legion of Superheroes, is voiced by Phil Morris who also voiced Imperiex, antagonist in the Legion of Superheroes tv series season 2. He is back. This is epic.

When Lor-Zod starts to bring up the inspiration behind the Legion of Superheroes and knowing how things have played out in this season, also taking into account of what happened on Mars. I couldn’t help but smile when he says "And this Legion. Who do you think inspired it’s very existence?". Knowing full well on Conner’s current predicament right know. I still couldn’t help getting satisfaction from Lor-Zod’s anger towards Superboy, seeing as how he’s also a member of the family El and inspired the Legion.

I really wish they called out Zod’s actions causing Krypton’s destruction in The first place

[@MorokLeviathan]

Different universe. This Zod attempted a coup attempt before anyone knew that Krypton was going to get destroyed (sun exploding). The episode after this, after Zod found out how Krypton was destroyed (which he first presumed to have been by an invasion by other Galactic Powers, like New Genesis and the Green Lantern Corps, interestingly), he even called out the irony that despite Jor El finding out that the sun was going to explode, that he was only able to save his son Kal El because no one on Krypton believed him, which is what basically happened to Zod's coup attempt to 'save' Krypton as well.

[@pn2294]

@@MorokLeviathan it seems that Zod’s coup had nothing to do with Krypton’s destruction. It was just an excuse to wage war with New Genesis.

[@MorokLeviathan]

@@pn2294 I don't think Zod wanted war with New Genesis, Phantom Girl strictly said that Zod wanted to have different kind of relations with New Genesis. But yes, the motives for why he committed the coup are lacking at best. Still, (military) dictators in our world show basically the same line of thinking as Zod. Think of Hitler who thought invading other nations would save Germany as example.

[@MiguelGonzalez-du8de]

I'm glad they didn't follow that route, I always hated how some media tried to tie Zod into Krpton's destruction, when in reality it should be a cautionary tale about climatic change, exploitation of resources and how nature will destroy everything if the society is not aware of the damage they're doing to the planet, no matter how technologically advanced they are or how much they think of themselves as gods

Say what you will about moments like this, but to me, they're my favorite parts in the series, the action isn't bad, don't get me wrong, however I love world building aspects in series, it builds a deeper connection and bond to said world, look at One Piece for example, most of the fights are really great, however to me, the past of it's world is so intruiging to me, it helps to understand how the world works and how the inhabitants think and why that is, lets pick an example here that has yet to be explained: 900 years ago prior to the events we see started a century that became known as the Void Century, it's a period in history shrouded in mystery as there are no records of what happened in those 100 years... or is there? There are indestructable stones that have information about that period, nobody can read them and yet the World Government has prohibited the research of that period in time, who knows what they're really hiding from the world with that ban on the study of that era, to me it's more interesting than the upcoming fights as we will yet again get a deeper understanding of that world and I'm all for it

Despite learning of his biological parents he chose to stay and be with Lois and Clark and would eventually go by the name Nightwing, which was the name of a god in the Book of Rao.
