I personally trust her at this episode. But Jace is a bad person in another tv show. It's like how most people expected the Skrulls to be evil in Captain Marvel. Other media influencing your views.

I'm going to kindly and strongly call into doubt the whole it was always the plan. It's not Kadur love life was never touched upon. We saw his strong attraction on s1 as the reason he couldn't focus. And yes the episode makes it clear at the end when she ask her. And it's again a thing when people keep mentioning that Aquagirl was the love of his life. You could say they planned for him to be bi but I'm going with they changed it during the long break.

It has nothing to do with the comics, though. If you looked it up, you would see that it has always been the case, Cartoon Network simply wouldn't allow them to actually show it. The voice actor knew since the beginning, and the writers when asked always stated that there were members of the team who weren't straight. They just didn't say who in case they were able to show it on screen someday. And they were finally able to.

The first one

Are you talking about Shane getting annoyed at how the girls handled the gun and assumed it was gun owners are bad? Or the way they reacted to Violet and Harpe kissing?
Garrett Gee
Holy shit have they really been watching this 18 weeks already?

He hasn't "always been gay" in the comics... It was only introduced to the comics in DC Rebirth, 3 years ago... Which was already 6 years into this shows run, at that point the show had even already been cancelled. The show definitely wasn't heading in that direction in the first two seasons or even hinting at it because it hadn't even happened in the comics yet... In the shows context it IS a retcon to realign the show with something recent the comics introduced after the show was already running. For the record, I actually don't mind it, it was just a joke poking fun at Calvin's expectation/prediction.
cosmotron
That's fair. It felt more tongue-in-cheek to me, not like he was actually saying that was his motivation, and I don't think it was meant to be.
Lurkingposter
It felt highly unnatural to me. There is difference between saying a team needs more diversity and saying your reason for joining a team is so there can be a token black guy. It makes the character motivations feel very shallow and makes the whole thing feel it was written by committee. Garth's whole monologue felt stilted, heavy handed and forced. It felt like ad executives trying to explain social media marketing to someone's parents.
Gavin Mcfadden
Not a retcon. This version of Aqualad In the comics has Always been gay.
Davone Kissee
I feel it's heavy handed. Something regular happens and it's like immediately over to the news with this hot take from Lex Luthor or Black lighting. They're defeating this giant envy monster and one of the soldiers pulls out his freaking cell phone and goes live. It's just goofy IMO.
Davone Kissee
Because aquaman spoilers...
cosmotron
That line felt fine to me. He said the group needed a little color, and I’ve heard similar sentiments from people in real life. Idk, none of it felt unnatural to me, but I’m white so it’s definitely not my place to say.
cosmotron
How is it a retcon?
Lurkingposter
For me, It's less that it doesnt make sense and more that the voice acting and dialogue are hot garbage. When Static Shock said he joined the Outsiders so he could be the token black guy, I died a little inside. There is a line between representation and pandering and this episode pole vaulted that line. I'm black btw. Lol
Mten10th
If you say so

*Calls Blindwave insecure for no discernible reason.* *Is insecure himself so he doesnt elaborate on why.*
Mten10th
Will do

"Hey, a new love interest"... Lol, love interest? Not on my retcon.
RyanKlip
What secret messages, though? Only one I recall is she called someone asking for help when Violet had her issue, which led to this. And yeah, did the wrong thing for the right reasons. Like I said, I have no idea what happens later, it just seems odd to me that every time she’s done something they’re immediately suspicious lol
cosmotron
I’ve seen a few people mention that they aren’t into the social media aspect, and I’ll admit I don’t really get it? In our own world, social media is very tied to politics and world issues. Questions from twitter are used in presidential debates. Activists - which is kinda what The Outsiders are - use it a whole lot to bring attention to what they do, to inspire hope and being people together. Protesters use it to organize. Revolutions around the world use it for he same thing. And yeah, aspects of it can be cringy as they are in the real world, but idk the use of social media here feels very realistic to me. I agree that this episode has some pacing issues and it’s not my favorite, but the problem with the social media stuff that I’ve seen expressed from a few people just doesn’t make sense to me.
RyanKlip
Ok guy, keep vaguely complaining lmao
n p
She's been seen secretly messaging someone after volunteering to be the kids' guardian.. and was already previously willingly involved in the meta human experiments and trafficking in Markovia... It's not a stretch... even without the Black Lightning details.
Mten10th
Not dignifying that with an answer.
RyanKlip
Ahh, well that makes more sense haha.
RyanKlip
I did. They just talk about gun safety. What’s insecure about that? Do you think drunk teenagers should be handling loaded guns alone or something?
King Abydos
im pretty sure Brion said Mother of Gott not goat lol Gott is German for God
Fyre
Jace? It's probably because she's been a sorta villain in Black Lightning, so Eric and Aaron at least know something's probably up with her.
Cycl0n3
Yeah not a big fan of this part of the season
Mten10th
Go back and watch their discussion about the scene.
Conner Simpkins
Yeah, I wasn't feeling this portion of the season personally.
RyanKlip
Where are they insecure? I feel like I’m missing something.
Jjop017
Young Justice is really hit or miss I find. Personally I enjoyed this season more than season 2, but I enjoyed most of the new characters and felt they were fleshed our way better than in season 2, which mostly focused on Blue Beetle and Impulse/Kid Flash II and Light always winning started getting old really fast for me. But if you aren’t feeling the story you just aren’t feeling the story. I feel like the show can focus too much on one aspect that can hinder enjoyment. Season 1 had romance for some and this season feels like social media aspect is it for people.
Mten10th
The gun scene with Harper and Violet.
RyanKlip
About what?
Mten10th
How insecure are you guys?
RyanKlip
Damn, why are they SO suspicious of that woman?? Lol I feel like she’s done plenty to prove she didn’t have a choice in what she did and has been nothing but good since then. I haven’t finished the series so who knows, I’m just saying from what we know now it’s like every episode they question her lmao
