Yeah this wasn't actually good but it was better than part 1 but that's not hard to do. The animation is still an odd choice. With all the amazing animation in DC animations history and this is what they went with to tell their Arguably largest story arc. Or was it simply down to budget.

The worst part is the actress who is voicing Wonder Woman. I can't be sure but I think she was trying to copy Gal Gadot's accent but she comes across far more Russian than Israeli. I mean did she record her part and send it in? I can't imagine that production heard her take on Wonder Woman and thought it was good. Then again they chose the animators so clearly some people shouldn't have creative control.

The only thing this movie is doing is making wish I'd just watched Arrowverse Crisis crossover. It may not be perfect but compared to this it's the Citizen freaking Kane of comic book adaptations.

The story and alterations from source I don't take issue with as I don't want to know everything that happens before if happens however I get the desire for it to simply be the much loved (and rightfully so) source material in this a comic book event just be those comics but animated staying 100% true to the original. When done well I'm okay with either. This film however has an animation style I'm not a fan of. So much so that I only managed to finish this film by not actually watching it. I worked on an art project while the movies played behind me and I was in love with it but it was good. However I doubt I'll watch the other 2 parts. I can't see spending money again for something I can only enjoy if I can't see it. If I can only listen it needs to cost considerably less for me to consider.

This episode reminded me a lot of the episodes of Arrow when the newer team members of team arrow were crying about not being consulted and kept in the dark by Oliver and Diggle. Tonight we have Yolanda & Rick first attacking Cindy refusing to hear a word she says and then despite their own hypocrisies on the subject or their own transgressions they lay into Courtney for not consulting them once she learned Icicle Jr inherited his father's cryo-kinesis. You know because why wouldn't she tell them? They don't let their emotions guide them and they've clearly shown they don't judge people or hold them to a standard they don't meet themselves as I'm sure Cindy could attest to. Beth is the only one who had a legit reason to be hurt by Courtney's silence. Yolanda is especially infuriating breaking & entering aren't exactly the actions of a superhero. Did I miss something does the wild cat suit has Ted Grants muscle memory cause I get why Cindy can fight being raised by a sociopathic mad scientist super villain would probably result in having skills most your age wouldn't but how is it that Yolanda was able to hold her own against Cindy alone.? To be fair I don't like the character anymore and haven't since last season so it's possible I'm not giving her enough credit. My issue isn't with the actress she's playing the role written for her really well I just don't like who the characters become. Rick too is another who should think twice before throwing stones at Courtney in his glass house.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but Joel McHale was the PERFECT choice to play Sylvester/Starman. I didn't know he was this talented. I've always enjoyed his humor but prior to this role I would've passed on him being in anything serious but now I'd happily watch anything he does.
