Dude! Jackson's story is the best plot for Aquaman 2!

[@joshua2764]

True

[@rwayne1991]

Yaaassss!

[@andrewquick4176]

Too soon.

[@beastmode7935]

Young justice would be a awesome movie🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@alexauclair1]

Seriously

[@tayo2810]

The comics made kalduran look old. Dudes looks 46 with kids and a 9 to 5

[@Phoenix-pb4sm]

Aqualad is the most underrated sidekick Honestly I like him more than Aquaman

[@joshua2764]

Me too

[@Tyler_W]

I still like Aquaman more, but I much prefer Aqualad to Tempest, except his Rebirth origin is kinda weak. They vastly overcomplicated it when Young Justice already established a solid framework.

[@YoungYahtz94]

[@yeb0i]

Why did you need gpto add those empty lines?

[@dakotatrue12]

@@Tyler_W Tempest IS aqualad, at least he was, but no Garth is far superior to Kaldur. Edit: after more thing on this, I feel Kaldur and Garth are equally cool. Also I dont like Kaldur being bisexual, but it doesnt bother me too much.

[@moopstergeek3807]

Can you make a video on captain atom's origin story, he's so damn underrated.

[@Cornyboa]

Yes he is and he’s very powerful too

[@gonk4509]

Both the Charlton and DC Origin.

[@ashyroachking3211]

@@Cornyboa i see you protect your Asp

[@saudabosultan1180]

Airbreaker64 yes he is multiversal in power he created a universe of his own and he resurrected lifes and healed people from fatal injuries he is basically like a god in dc

[@sphere7158]

Damien may be a jerk, but at least he helped Aqualad

[@wildresin6292]

Damien may be a jerk but he and jason todd had the most balls as robins. Greyson was a scout boy i dont know why they dont make him gay and Tim drake was so... uninteresting tgat hes portraited by nothing. I mean ive seen red hood and night wing on animations but no red hood. Still Damian and Jason just rock

[@joestriker8518]

J you sound ignorant as hell. Damian is the most complex and flawed Robin. You probably like Tim Drake who’s the most bland, uninteresting Robin with no personality traits or flaws besides being the “smart Robin”.

[@rottingzombzzz2502]

True

[@dakotatrue12]

@@joestriker8518 uh sorry buddy, comparing complexity and flaws, that definitely goes to Jason.

[@JahRandom]

Lmao.. I had a pretty nice lol at "scout boy"...hah

[@haroldwhite945]

I've always loved Garth. Especially as tempest. Artemis Crock would be a wonderful choice to do.

[@alphaant362]

So Tempest is like the NightWing of Aquaman.....neat

[@greyworld6242]

Do a history of Artemis. This is a good origin story. Also please do a history of Donna Troy.

[@JeromeProductions]

Grey World hmm

[@dyafox7921]

Donna Troy would be a good one for sure! or just a history of Wondergirl in general would be cool

[@jmk0822]

Artemis doesn’t have a long origin story considering she was created just for Young Justice, I’m pretty sure Green Arrow recruited her cause she was already so well trained by Sportsmaster after Roy quit in the pilot of the series

[@whatitdowhatitdo5606]

Yooo can we please get one for doctor voodoo / brother voodoo from marvel

[@charlestawiah6019]

He’s underrated, don’t mind the others

[@z0b0und49]

He had to be gay

[@whatitdowhatitdo5606]

charles tawiah Lmaoo they clearly don’t know he was one of the strongest sorcerer supremes but that’s them ig

[@EVENINGWOLF666]

Point of history...in the original origin of Garth, he was banished because Purple eyes usually meant that the Atlantean born with them was unable to stay under water for more than 30 hours. In his case that did not apply as he was able to remain under water like any other Atlantean. HOWEVER, he had an unreasonable fear of fish and thus was unable to remain in the city and was sent to the surface where he was found by Aquaman. Aquaman helped him overcome his fear of fish and took him back to Atlantis. Garth, however would rather stay with Aquaman so only pretended to enter the city (putting his spare clothing on a fish and using his aquatic telepathy to instruct the fish to enter the city. Later, as Aquaman was musing about missing the boy, he presented himself to Aquaman and said that he was going to stay with him.

[@idkidk-tr5ri]

i like when a legacy hero name is carried on by a good character from the start. sometimes it take some time to get people over the original but when the new hero that take the name is done so well its great

[@SM-rn8sq]

Please do history on other Young Justice characters and characters from Birds of Prey too. Thank you!!

[@blackphoenix77]

I'm glad that they're finally doing Aqualad justice: he kinda just disappeared after Brightest Day.

[@nathanaeljoly1371]

I wish Garth received more love

[@antoniosekope6868]

Nathanael Joly lets be honest the og titans are constantly being put on the back burner. They make Dick look weak, Wally death-prone, Roy a washed up dad and show no exposure to Garth and Donna.

[@craigharvey-gurr337]

I like Jackson Hyde. Both Young Justice and Rebirth.

[@srds2919]

I’ve been waiting for this one for a while

[@RequiemOvoid1314]

I can’t wait for Young Justice season 4

[@wolfgang6442]

Same

[@macbiegs9520]

ME TOO!! does anybody know when it will release? I am dying from boredom

[@andrewquick4176]

Season 3 was piss poor though

[@GarthMcMurray]

When I was kid in the '70s there was Garth aka Aqualad and Garth Ranzz aka Lightning Lad, so my friends used to joke "What kind of lad are you?"

[@cclintrich]

Jackson's story is the absolute best! More drama and actions to watch as the story unfolds.

[@harpnoah1493]

So basically Aquamans sidekicks are cooler than him

[@tyking33]

Lies

[@Tyler_W]

Spoken like a person who doesn't know Aquaman.

[@voidlooksback]

No

[@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr]

Harp Noah, it’s more like Kaldur and Mera are cooler than Aquaman in the Aquaman comics because if Black Manta were in any other DC comics that weren’t Aquaman then Aquaman would be a comic book character that’d already be in the public domain by now.

[@brandonmarrero3949]

@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr well of course, they can actually control water 😂

[@daniyalramooz3633]

Thank you I have been waiting for a history of aqualad for so long

[@sonicgen20]

So Jackson and Kaldur are essentually the same character, just with different names. And now I know why Kaldur has those hilt devices, he already has the power to manipulate water, the hilts just help him focus it less destructively.

[@enmanueldelgado1348]

Great video! Keep up the good work guys!

[@dlericx1876]

Cant wait for someone to make Aquabruh.

[@Rob_g988]

Great episode!

[@alterego480]

Please do an origins of Black Canary. Im a little confused as to what her name and origin are and I think Arris could clear that up. Keep up the great work.

[@renovasquez5589]

Yeah the Rebirth Origin is dumb asf. Young Justice/ brightest day origin stories are far better

[@Tyler_W]

Same.

[@dominic4414]

Rebirth: Aqualad is gay Tula: am I a joke to you?

[@arcausx7575]

Yea I'm definitely a bigger fan of the dreadheaded version

[@micah459]

Tbh I just don't understand why they made him gay and gave him an ugly blonde haircut

[@quentinbeck5725]

I’ve just never been a fan of the tattoos that he has in Rebirth and that Aquaman has in Justice League, I’d rather them just have a marking on his neck or wrist rather then tattoos all over his body

[@siniorbaiker]

You are ma favorite comics revealer

[@nothingbutpain.9457]

If we’re gonna talk about Atlanteans, can we talk about Namor from marvel?

[@everdream4200]

Excellent video as always. Been watching your channel for a while now. I am even trying to make one for myself right now just for fun. Please this trick you do with the images that don't fit the screen and have a blurred background can I ask how it's done and which software is used to achieve that effect?

Good timing, I've just started the young justice series and feel like there's a lot of different stories that happened before this series started, I've already watched all the dcamu movies from flashpoint to DAW, still it feels like the series doesn't fit in that timeline, is there any other show or movie that I should see before I continue with this show? Any help is appreciated

[@briandaleske5139]

I HAVE SOMETHING SEPARATE TO SAY INVOLVING CHARACTER HERO (AQUA-LAD) Now I have noticed that there is more than one type of (AquaLad) ComicBook story, and to add more that one type of Origin Story for each one different type of (AquaLad) about them all. From the first original version of (AQUA-LAD) to the other different stories versions that came after the first version, and that includes the new story version that is about a bisexual (AquaLad) hero.
