User blog comment:SonicFan/Your Least Favorite YJ Episodes/@comment-130.18.120.183-20121015154301

since 5 seems to be the magic number here, I disliked (in no particular order)

"Welcome to Happy Harbor" [gah. MM set up to be my least favorite character of the whole series, has not disappointed, after Before The Dawn, like her even less than Lagoon Boy]

"Happy New Year" [timeskip suckerpunch-ow]

"Performance" [too much epicness used as throwaway plot devices to pacify whiny fanbase]

"Depths" [ending was just too duh-huh when they showed Artemis' "corpse"]

"Image" [MM centric, only good thing was introducing Beast Boy (who is not nearly as funny as he was in Teen Titans), and over all this episode just served to make me like MM even less than I did]

Some explanation for the MM hatred: She has the most epic powers, but she is the lamest character. A shapeshifting, telepathic, telekinetic, with flight should not be quite so dim and whiny. She's like Starfire on Teen Titans but with green skin, less amusing, and less excuse. On Starfire, "slightly dim because she's a bit of an airhead from a different planet" was cute. On M'gann, it's just downright annoying. She's a telepath from MARS, not some planet halfway across the galaxy, with no knowledge of Earth. And the "learned about Earth from an outdated sitcom" excuse really cut no ice with me. The telepathic communication with her uncle and teammates combined with all the information she would have access to in the cave should have more than accounted for the difference. You don't just go to a place which is radically different from what you were told it would be go "Oh, well this is nothing at all like that show! I should just continue to act like it is and keep mannerisms which my teammates who are from this place obviously find strange and unusual." And she's a freaking telepath, she should be able to figure out that Earth society doesn't work like an outdated sitcom pretty doggone quick. I doubt the martians in their universe are all that different from us.
