"CYBORG'S THERE TOO!" He sure is.
How Eric feels about this season is how I felt about season 2. This season was a return to form for me overall. I’m not sure how they will like how the season wraps up, but if they decide to stick with the show for another season I hope season 4 draws them back in like season 3 did for me. The principles vs pragmatism idea was a good one to me that I felt the show hadn’t explored to its fullest. I was surprised by that especially since Batman usually working behind other heroes backs for pragmatism has come back to create more problems than they solve in other forms of media. The show having the balls to have Batman and other likeminded heroes staging false flag operations, and using more and more villainous tactics doesn’t really go anywhere and I think that makes Jefferson and Wonder Woman’s arguments have less weight to them. I understand it is a gray issue and it shouldn’t be Batman is completely wrong just because he stooped to the bad guys level, but I feel it didn’t really show the strengthens of heroes holding on to principles is also important. It comes off as Jefferson or Superboy’s arguments as lacking since nothing Anti-Light did really cost them anything major.
Season 3 is definitely a much better, more diverse and more well written Season 2. I think your enjoyment of it, however, has to come from being a DC nut. Yeah, they are getting most of the plot down (despite not remembering stuff from Season 1 and 2), but there's a lot in this season that solely DEPENDS on the viewer at the very least breathing the bare minimum of DC lore. Seeing the Source Wall for them was like a "what?" moment, but watch a reaction of the same moment from DC fans that are more initiated. It's an entirely different experience. Not saying it's their fault, of course, but Season 3 is so unapologetically a love letter to the DC Universe as well as setting up its own continuity that you can't help but love it.
I am not surprised Eric and Aaron thought Ralph was a Meta. One of their biggest introductions to the character was CW's Flash where he is a Meta. It's also why they call Virgil Static Shock and not Static. It's the influence of other shows. Their lack of knowledge or misunderstanding character histories might annoy others but it can't be helped and I try not to hold it against them. Here's hoping they watch the original animated series and Justice League (and Teen Titans.)
To be fair YJ has made it so everyone with powers is a meta or has tech(the rings) so Ralph not being one really comes from nowhere.
Elongated man got his powers like Barry Allen, Science misshap.
Elongated Man isn't a meta. His powers come from a drink that he drinks.
Man these end credit <3
