Not sure if anyone else mentioned but Megan isn’t albino. It was mentioned much earlier in the season but Green Martians are the majority and White Martians are the minority. It’s just plain old racism/colorism.

If you want to see the dangerous effects of using venom for a long time you can find out what happened to Bane in Batman Beyond. Sure it may be old but it is one of the darkest Batman series out there that takes place after Bruce has retired so you will also get to see the fate of some of the villains from back in his day.

So long story short the creators planned the series to run 5 seasons and had this big long story arc planned, with each season set to build on the previous one culminating in the final season which would payoff everything. Unfortunately the show couldn’t get a toy license, but because it still had a large viewership so they were given 1 more season to wrap it up. Rather than leave fans on a cliffhanger that would never be resolved the creators opted to time skip to what was supposed to be the season 5 storyline and the finale for the series. This left fans divided between those that would have preferred seeing the original season 2 and those that were glad to see how the show was meant to end

As someone who has been a fan of this series since the OG days, a lot of the hate or criticism towards season 3 and 4 are largely overblown and hated for things that have frankly always been an aspect of this show
People generally talk about season 1 and 2 as the series peak nowadays, but old heads like me will remember back in the day season 2 was actually very divisive for some of its choices, much of which are the same complaints thrown at season 3 and 4.
I’ve watched a lot of react channels react to this show and pretty much all of them had a good time with season 3 and 4 overall, I think as long as you’re willing to have a good time and take what the series is trying to do you’ll enjoy it, if you want more of the same as previous seasons you’ll be in a bad time

I still remember having to switch to watching season 1 online because they stopped airing the new episodes at one point. I was a big fan and even the changes I wasn’t a huge fan of like not being able to take off the helmet of fate and Red Tornado being just a robot were par for the course with other animated shows and movies.
I was really excited for season 2 until they announced the time skip due to the series only getting 1 more season. I understand that they had to make a judgment call, either make season 2 according to what they had planned and leave the series on a cliffhanger, or jump ahead to what they planned for season 5 so fans could see what the final season was supposed to be. However I thought that was the wrong decision then and I think it was definitely the wrong decision a decade later.
They really needed those 3 seasons worth of story they skipped to pay off the Invasion storyline in a meaningful and satisfying way. It also backfired a second time with seasons 3 and 4 because the invasion storyline was supposed to be the end of the series.
When fans brought back the show the creators had no story, no well thought out 5 season plan like they did before. Instead you got 2 seasons that just felt like extras trying to extend the payoff of what was supposed to be the end of the series, because the creators didn’t want to plan out more than 1 season after what happened last time.
Had the creators made season 2 as planned instead of jumping ahead they would’ve been able to make Season 3 and 4 as planned when the series got brought back leading to an even bigger outcry of support for one more final 5th season to wrap up the story they had planned out. Then they could have done the invasion storyline without needing to recap all the major plot points they skipped over

Without spoiling, I'll say each season is pretty different from the last, for better or worse, so it was probably jarring for some. After rewatching, I think season 1 was my favorite, but still enjoyed how much the new seasons expanded on this "universe". Most of what I know about DC came from watching this show, and its a lot, especially when you look up all the characters/references in here. Love the way they brought so many ideas, characters and concepts from the DC universe in one show.

It’s not really willing when you don’t have much of a choice. The creators planned the show to run for 5 seasons but the shows inconsistent renewal lead them to turn season 5 into season 2 and then when the show was brought back they didn’t want to plan more than 1 season in advance so they basically did judas contract, and then a bunch of mini arcs focusing on the different members of original team

Loved rewatching S1 with some new faces. Reminded me of how enjoyable this series was.
So, one elephant to address though. I won't put it here due to spoilers, but if I remember right S2 starts a bit oddly because they tried to tie the story together with a YJ video game. I remember being pretty lost at first until I looked into it. I don't remember how important those details were, so I'm just going to warn that there was a weird gap in the story between S1 and S2 (it also might have been between S2 and S3, it's be so long since I've watched this series).

You have it backwards. The game was meant to cover part of what was supposed to be the season 4 storyline. The creators planned the show to run for 5 seasons, but when they found out they were only getting one more they had to make a call. Either make season 2 as planned and leave fans on a cliff hanger, or jump ahead to what was supposed to be season 5 and the finale of the series. They did the latter and had to spend time recapping the major plot points they skipped which is why season 2 was so weird, it was missing 3 seasons worth of storylines and set up that would have made it a sad buy satisfying conclusion to the series

The prayers were answer and we got a s3 then a little bit longer for s4 and they broke that season up to like a whole year for release then part 2 of s4 came out weekly so I was watching that live as it came out on max. Praying we get a season 5. Thankful yall are watching and I’m really enjoying the show all over again.

They knew they had a second season cause Season 2 aired one week after this finale
The series when it aired on Cartoon Network would usually get about 7-8 episodes and then go on hiatus for 2-3 months and then come back with a new batch. Not unusual for cartoons even serialized ones
But it’s also important that when Season 3 came back it wasn’t on Max or even HBO Max, it was on the DC Universe App. That streaming service that brought us a bad Titans show, a pretty alright Harley Quinn animated series, a Swamp Thing show so good that it killed itself in its excellence, and the revival of Young Justice.
The app couldn’t sustain itself so it got shunted over to Max for season 4 and it seems like that’s where it’ll end its life. Be nice to get a season 5 but I’m not holding my breath

Re: Earth Lanterns
Generally (GENERALLY, as with all comics things it's only consistent to a degree):
Hal - "The man with no fear." Fear being the greatest weakness of the Lanterns, Hal is the lantern you can count on to not lose power in the face of terror.
Guy - Strongest will of them all. Not the bottomless font that Hal is, but his constructs hit harder and take a beating better when he's feeling good about himself.
John - Sturdiest constructs. His history in architecture means that, unlike most lanterns, he actually builds out his constructs when he makes them. When he wants a shield his construct is made of the actual parts that go into building a shield, not just a green wall in a shield's shape. His military efficiency also leads to a lot of beams and bubbles when he doesn't HAVE to be creative to solve a situation.
Kyle - The most creative lantern. His constructs are difficult to face because he can draw on his limitless creativity to come up with solutions for most any problem.
Jessica Crus - The Lantern who can overcome great fear. Theoretically all lanterns can do this, but like Guy is the most willful and Hal is the most fearless, Jessica's entire character arc was her dealing with the fact that she's a lantern fighting anxiety and still functioning as a lantern to the point that, while she might be afraid, she can still function unlike most lanterns.
Simon Baz - ... He had a gun for a while. They gave him future sight at some point.
