User blog comment:William Rane/Creators Should Change Their Target Audience/@comment-72.192.1.229-20111121021400

First of all, let me just say that I'm 17, so I'm not entirely sure where I stand in this debate. Secondly, you are absolutely right, William, when you say Young Justice should target older and more mature audiences. The only problem with that is that it kind of already does. Sure, technically this show is aimed largely at 9-14 year-olds, but a just as large part of its demographic is for older, more mature audiences, though still mostly teenagers. Does anyone here know what the Battle of Waterloo is? For those who do, did you know it before Alpha Male? I didn't. In Alpha Male, the Brain said, "No, Mallah, this will not be our Waterloo." He was referencing the Battle of Waterloo, which marked the end of Napoleon Bonaparte's historical reign. And he didn't do so so that the show could educate kids about history, he did so as an astute allusion to a prominent historical figure. Young Justice often makes extremely intelligent references like this one, something that no "kid" show could or would ever do.
