I watched Young Justice Outsiders eps 7,8 and 9. The show uses mature themes like gore, graphic deaths and nudity, I don't know what to think about the last.

I didn't like episode 7 having 3 storylines, changing scenes from one to another. It was confusing to me. Finally we saw Darkseid in action. Now we know, why Vandal made a deal with him. It's because D considers V as a worthy opponent. Vandal protected the Earth, but only because he wants to conquer it, so he can't let this planet be conquered or destroyed. I didn't expect the invaders to be controlled by Starro. At least one villain force destroyed another villains force. I was horrified, when Vandal snapped neck of his eldest daughter simply, becuase her mind got broken due to old age. His other daughter seems fully indoctrinated by him. This relationship reminds me Azula and Ozai. Training Foreger, Halo and Geoforce was a standard story, but I liked comedic side of it.

Episode 8 had quite complex story. I thought it also has 3 storylines, but I was wrong. Those were scenes shown in reverse chronological order. It explained whole story well. Mind control is one of the most disgusting crimes in my opinion, so I didn't feel bad for Stagg, when Shade appeared to kill him. Too bad the Mad Hatter escaped justice. Batman, Nightwing and Wonder Woman had an interesting argument that they became morally gray and slowly become as bad as the Light. Interesting observation and problematic question asked by WW and no answer, because nobody is certain what is right or wrong anymore.

Episode 9 showed Lobo with awesome design, he looked like a real threat. I found it strange that he was sent to kill Foreger, but then we learn it served simply to test the new team. I watched Superman in 90s, so it was obvious to me, who Granny Goodness is. I expected Foreger to survive, because Halo survived death 3 times. It was clever to him to use his old shell as a decoy.
