Young Justice isn’t getting a third season. This is immensely disappointing, because
the show hasn’t been around that long. There’s still a lot of momentum to the
story, and I haven’t had my fill of the amazing characters. There are thousands
of comic stories the series could draw on.
But that’s the thing. The DC Universe
has so many stories, subplots, and characters to draw from that it would be
impossible to fit them all into one show. Yes, Young Justice ending is sad. I would love for the series to last
longer and develop the characters more. However, you can rest easy knowing that
this isn’t the last time we’ll see these characters and their stories animated.

In a way, Young Justice ending now is better than the show dragging on longer
than the creators planned. They have a story they want to tell, and after they
tell it, what’s the point in continuing? Just look at Teen Titans. That show was amazing, and everyone was disappointed
when it ended. Fan interest remained high. And what do you know, they actually
have plans to bring it back. As a sketch comedy. Yay.

I won’t judge Teen Titans Go! before I see it, but part of what made the
original Teen Titans awesome was that
each of the characters had their own arcs; they developed independently and as
a team. Their stories have already been told. That’s probably the reason this
new incarnation is going to stay away from continuity or character development.
All good things must come to an end. After
a while, a cartoon loses its drive, or the main creative team loses passion, or
whatever. Look at shows like Spongebob,
Fairly Oddparents, and a wealth of others that continued past their
expiration date. Young Justice ending
only means that there is room for a new creative team with a different vision
to tell a tale starring teenage try-hards. Yes, there is no guarantee that the
next incarnation will be good. But there wasn’t that guarantee when Teen Titans ended. If the producers had
decided to continue that show forever, we would have never gotten Young Justice. Who knows what good shows
are just a few years away? Small condolences, I know, but endings are only as
sad as you make them.
