@Cari1994 i understand exactly watch you mean. i, more or less, feel exactly the same way. i personally don't mind the invasion storyline, i just would have rathered there have been about three seasons before it. then we could have watched the characters from the first season grow up and learn and have other adventures, and then in season 5 it would be like, 'whoa, so thats what they were doing for the 16 hours in the first season.' and i figure through all of the seasons leading up to Invasion, there could have been little hints about what was coming in season 5, like the aliens slowly integrating into earths culture, all without the superheroes knowing about it. thats what i would have rathered happened, cause i wanted to see robin grow into nightwing, see more of rocket and her personality, delve into kaldur finding out that black manta is his father, see the causes of superboy and miss martian breaking up, and see where does artemis and kid flash's relationship end up; also how did the new members join the team, what were the reactions of bumblebee and mal finding out their friends were superheroes.

but i guess i can deal with the time skip. i just feel that there was so much more story to tell before we had to get into the invasion storyline.
