I messaged them on YouTube and got this reply:


 * Hi Thailog,


 * Thanks for taking the time to write in to us. We wanted to get this out to you before we launched.


 * So let me start by addressing your concerns about the meeting with WB. First, our pitch was for an entire new season and we really believe there is potential to fund an entire new season. One thing that they told us was that they afraid that the campaign fail and will bring negative publicity to the show while they are trying to sell it internationally.


 * We looked at the number and we believe it is possible. Young Justice average a little bit over 2 million viewers last season and was one of the most downloaded animated series. If we only look at Nielsen viewing population and the average pledge on Kickstarter and Indigogo we need less than 5% of the viewers to pledge.


 * Of course we also looks, at the petition but I was a fan of Stargate universe and that is what gave me the idea of SMGO. I loved the show and I admired the passion of all the fans that started a campaign but I knew it was doomed since the beginning. Executives are used to those campaign and they're becoming white noise for them. SMGO and your push already made WB moved and we believe you can do more with "money/pledge" in hand.


 * Also, we created those super cool packages. I have to admit that they are only the fruit of our imagination since we did not get approval from WB but one thing that we will do is to tie the money transfer to the studio to our ability to fulfill those rewards. I believe that there are some Young Justice collectors out there (I am a Batman collector myself) that will help raise the average pledge amount. Luckily though, we do not need 50,000 people like me to make this campaign successful. We need only a limited number of collectors, and mostly people willing to contribute between 20 and 100 to feasibly reach the goal.


 * For those collectors, we have this really cool limited edition (15000 unit) DVD/Blueray box set shapped like the watchtower that we priced at $350 and also we are going to create some truly collectible limited-run/custom action figures from the entire young justice that we priced at $1000. You will get 10 statues/action figures and this packages is limited to $5000. If these two packages are entirely claimed we will already have the entire amount.


 * We did our best to make it feasible. I have seen TV show ended in a movie and what usually happen is that they rush the end and the writers could not entangled the complete story. We believe it is possible and we believe that the fans deserve better than half budget direct to DVD movie. One studio told us that doing it online will have to be dumbed down version of the show and we say no. You deserve better and all the fans too. But if we can't raise the full amount we're willing to help the fans achieve whatever they can - be it a shorter season, or a direct to video movie. But I think we should shoot for the best goal, show them how far we can go, and then see if they're willing to work with the fans.


 * If you anymore question do not hesitate to reach out again to me directly at chehin AT smgo.tv. Thank you.


 * Best regards,


 * Chehin
