Why did Miss Martian have long hair in the Torch Song comic when she still had short hair at the end of season 2? Why did M'gann have long hair again? Did she bring it back to get Conner's attention or was that just an error?

Hi Greg, I hope you're well! I have a few questions related to the everyday life of the Manhattan clan.

1. When they lived in the Clocktower, how did they get food? Did Elisa simply buy them groceries? Did they ... take what they needed... from nearby supermarkets? Something else?

2. In the clocktower, did they take turns doing chores to maintain the place, like cleaning/dusting, washing dishes, etc.? If so, did they have a schedule or just did things as needed?

3. Did Broadway do all or most of the cooking, or did the others also cook sometimes?

Thank you!

Since Conner works from out of his home as a motorcycle mechanic does this mean he is his own boss and doesn't work under anyone. In short, does Conner have his own motorcycle business?

I'm confused about Em'ree. She was the only one of M'gann's siblings who was willing to attend her and Conner's wedding, but at the same time, she also showed she wasn't entirely supportive from their argument in episode 3. In short did Em'ree really support or approve of relationship?

Also did her views really changed when Conner died and she saw how heartbroken M'gann was over his death?

In regards to the mention of Superman mistaking Captain Marvel as being a Kryptonian in "Agenda", I figured it's (mostly) referring to some of the surface similarities between the two.

Was that by chance also a reference to Supes believing Power Girl to be Kryptonian, but she really wasn't at least following "Crisis On Infinite Earths"?

If Season 2 had 26 episodes instead of 20, would one of those 6 additional episodes had feature Miss Martian and Superboy getting back together on the show instead of in the comics? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the comics and again THANK You for reunting Supermartian in them, but sometimes I wonder what would it be like to actually hear the actors voice the lines and to actually hear the song play. Also what is the official name of the song that M'gann sang in the Torch song comic where she expressed her sorrow and regret/her love for Conner.

Hi, Greg.

There is a part of me that feels badly for levelling any criticism against you or Young Justice because I'm just glad we got a season 3 and a season 4 and, hopefully, a season 5. But, I'm going to do it anyways.

The still-scenes really bug me. It seems to me that there were a lot of them in Phantoms part 1. If they are there to lighten the workload for the beleaguered animators then why not give them a few more months to work on the show? Yes, I would like more Young Justice as soon as possible, but I'm also prepared to be patient and wait for higher quality work. I'm sure there are other fans who feel the same way.

Or, is it not that simple?

When did Troia become Wonder Woman's sidekick?

When I was checking out some info about the characters of Young Justice in TV Tropes I found this on La'gaan/Lagoon Boy (Shown Below).

"The Friend Nobody Likes: He’s constantly berated for being whiny, constantly ruining the mission, and he can be found unbearable. Even those who he usually doesn’t interact with have clear implications that they dislike him for some reason (Take Beast Boy who's a Shipper on Deck for M'gann and Superboy). Aqualad is probably the only one who likes him."

I know that La'gaan sort of had a bad attitude and not completely a friendly guy (Nor completely bad either), but did all of members of the Team really hated him completely and that Kaldur might be the only one who likes him? I know that Superboy and Beast Boy didn't really like him, but I did think everyone one else hated him that much.

Hello Mr.Weisman
I have a question about miss martian Telepathy
,ms.martian can easily brain Blast people that will cause great pain and may leave them Unconscious (as seen in Se1 Ep21 when Megan brain Blast conner,dick and wally so they can't find out her true form) so why doesn't Ms. Martian use this more? She could have ended lots of fights in the first place with this ability and I think her reluctance to use this ability has nothing to do with her fear of hurting people because conner,dick and wally woke up unharmed and only with a headache.
I know you are very busy but I hope you can answer my question
Thank you

Hi Greg ! Hope you're fine !
1)What use is Belle Reve prison if anybody can enter and escape by boom-tubing in and out, like Vertigo at the end of season 3 ?
2) Don't you think it's a little too simple to suppress anybody's powers with a simple collar ?
3) Megan in season 2 didn't have any powers except telepathy in the submarine, so how come she hadn't been forced to take her true martian form ? 'cause the collar should have suppressed her transforming power too at that point.
4)Could there be a collar for Darkseid ? If they work on martians and kryptonians and so on, why not on him ? :)
5)Don't you find it a little nonsensical that Vandal (a human being) had to remind to the lords of chaos and order (immortal beings that are essential to the universe) their ONLY JOB (keeping the balance in the universe), which btw they do since 16 billions years ? I mean, what else are they supposed to do then !? I gotta admit I thought they were dummies at this moment ^^
But, to your credit, that gives a nice feeling of mythological poetry (full of nonsense but great to tell).
Vandal is probably the most interesting character on the show, that's impressive how you guys managed to make him so well !!! So clever, so mysterious, so powerful... And he's neither all bad or all good, he represents the human race, like a dark guardian angel taking care of the Earth !
Thanks for this show, that's a real gem I could watch a hundred times !

Hey Greg! This definitely isn’t meant to be hostile and I hope it doesn’t come across that way, but I’m curious why you don’t answer questions about character’s sexuality on the basis of no spoilers, but you will answer questions about, say, Bruce or Artemis’ eye colors, or Traci’s ethnicity. Why is a character’s sexuality a bigger spoiler to reveal than any other surface level descriptor of them? Obviously asking something like “is Tim going to end up dating Bernard” is a spoiler request, but asking “is Tim Drake bisexual” doesn’t feel like one, at least to me. Generally the rule for spoilers on here is that you don’t want to tell a story here, but why is clarifying someone’s sexuality a story whereas clarifying other surface details not?

In the past, you said at the end of Young Justice season 1, there were 179 name DC characters and at the end of Young Justice Invasion, the total increased to 241.

2. What is/was the total number of name DC characters at the end of Young Justice: Phantoms?

3. In December 2021, you said there were 759 name DC characters in an Ask Greg reply. That appears to factor in characters that were only mentioned. That seems like a very big jump from 241 at the end of Invasion to the end of Phantoms. Did the previous totals you cited for season 1 and season 2 ignore characters that were only mentioned?

4. Regarding your totals per season, I would like to ask for clarification on how you factor in the name DC characters that appear in the comic books and in the Legacy video game. Like for example, for Issue #0 to Issue #19 and the first Free Comic Day comic, were those added to the season 1 count of 179, were those in Issue #20 to #25 and from Legacy added to the Invasion count of 241, and the Torch Song digital comic included in the Outsiders count?

Not too long ago or at least as of 2020 up to now, I got around to articles on Gargwiki of properties referenced in Gargoyles, made a reference to it or both. Basically from DuckTales (both 1987 & 2017) to Kim Possible to Amphibia.

Aladdin of course being among them, and relating to that...

1. So while Puck's mentioning of Aladdin's lamp was made to reference the Disney show from the same time, as I noted was more in line with the original telling. In which the Lamp Genie had no real limits for the most part. And for those reading this post, there were indeed two genies in some versions of the story, including the Ring Genie.

So did Owen ever watch the Disney film Aladdin, or is his knowledge based on the previous versions?

2. On that note, you ever watch any of those other animated takes on Aladdin? I actually did see the version myself from Bevanfield as a babysitter of mine had kids who owned it on VHS.

3. Now the Aladdin article was something I did initially cause of The Mirror along with the comic making references to the Disney version, but one bit of tidbit that came to my attention.

Well I wasn't unaware of the time, The Animal Kingdom from Aladdin was pretty similar to The New Olympians episode. Mainly Aladdin being in the place of Elisa. Only difference being that TAK is a one off which ends with more of a feeling that the residents of the village might be able to trust more humans in the future.

The thing catching my notice more recently was both episodes besides their shared story is Michael Dorn voicing a character reluctant to trust either Elisa or Aladdin.

Any chance that TNO inspired the Aladdin episode, especially since the spinoff/series was in planning before Gargoyles?

When Outsiders first aired on DC’s defunct streaming service, from what I saw, a significant portion of the fandom did not like Halo as Muslim representation, non binary representation, or as a character in general. I’m not sure how much of this you saw at the time since from what I remember, ask Greg was closed for a long time and the viewership was smaller than on HBO Max. I think the people who felt most strongly against it simply stopped watching and interacting in online spaces. And that’s why you don’t see as much criticism about it. Though from what I’ve seen, the opinion does persist in certain parts of the fandom, but people love the show so much they look past it. The fact that MPAC is so supportive of Halo goes to show that they *are* out of touch with a significant number of fans. I don’t know much about them, but perhaps they’re not as familiar with issues in comic books compared to film media? Maybe they didn’t see the backlash since it was restricted to certain places like Tumblr, Reddit, and YouTube? I don’t know, but the fact is that there is a good amount of people who disagree with them, not just one or two, and they seemingly missed it and didn’t warn you. Same goes for Halo as non binary representation, you seemed caught off guard that some people didn’t like it, so maybe you need to diversify your sources. Saying that is not “insulting” the people who work at these places. I am entitled to my own opinion and my whole point was, YOU do not have the right to tell me that I’m wrong to feel the way I do because someone who works at MPAC or GLAAD feels differently. People disagree about whether characters are good or bad representation all the time, just because one person likes it does not mean everyone will. Ideally, you’d be open to multiple sources of feedback instead of one. But you do not have to listen to me or anyone else, I would just like if you would stop using these institutions to shoot down anyone else who has a different opinion. My whole point was, stop responding like that and just let people feel the way they feel, let people have debates and critically analyze the media they consume freely, stop getting so defensive. I literally never said I had a problem with Khalid using magic, I never told you that you can’t create diverse characters as a white man - I said you as a white man don’t have the right to tell someone else that their opinion is wrong because you don’t know where they’re coming from, I never expressed a desire to “drive you off Twitter.” I actually used to think young justice had some of the best diversity, I just think you missed the mark with Halo. The ramble you posted had nothing to do with what I was trying to say, you falsely assumed I was only referring to Khalid (I don’t feel strongly about him one way or another, but he at least was an improvement). Maybe I could’ve been clearer, but maybe you also shouldn’t have made such a big assumption and responded while you were angry.
Bye Greg.

I actually rounded up some examples of you using MPAC and GLAAD to dismiss criticism, since I know you'll try to pretend you've never done that even though the evidence is right here on your own blog:
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=24804
Right here you say -We've been working with MPAC (the Muslim Public Affairs Council), GLAAD and OUT on these plotlines. They are aware of our long term plans for Halo and have been extremely supportive. This suggests to me that the response you speak of isn't monolithic. So I'll admit it has been hard for me to apologize for things, which I believe, in the long term, will be appreciated by the Muslim and LGBTQ+ communities.-
Do you SERIOUSLY NOT SEE how you're using these organizations' support to dismiss what the asker was bringing up??? You think that because those organizations liked it, all of your fans that were unhappy with the choices you made were wrong and would come around once they understood your vision. Do you not see how you're basically saying the opinions of MPAC and GLAAD are more valid than your fans? And this was not one person, this was MULTIPLE people. If a significant portion of your fans are reaching out to you about something and your response is -well MPAC/GLAAD said its fine- then you are invalidating what they are saying.
You also say -It sincerely makes me feel awful that I've "hurt my fans in the LGBT+ community". I AM truly sorry about that. But I know for a fact that I didn't hurt ALL my fans in that community. Because I've talked to a bunch of them. Not on Twitter or on ASK GREG but in real life.-
First of all, of course you didnt hurt ALL your LGBT fans because not everyone has the same opinion, that doesnt change the fact that you did upset some; but you used the fact that some people werent upset as if it cancels out the people who were upset. Secondly, did you ever consider the fact that the people in your real life may pull their punches because they know you? Or did you ever consider that you may have a limited scope of the LGBT community through the people you know and maybe you should try to get a variety of perspectives before dismissing something?

Your response was better here, but you still felt the need to bring up that MPAC likes your long term plans and suggest the asker simply didnt understand your vision and would eventually like it. Just because MPAC likes your longterm plans doesnt mean this asker, or every Muslim fan, will too.

And because you took such offense to me suggesting that Hollywood orgs like MPAC/GLAAD can sometimes be out of touch with everyday people (btw, I am both Muslim and gay and I am speaking for myself. I feel they can be disconnected from what the youth are talking about. That is how I feel. No org is perfect or above criticism. Youre not a part of either community, so how would you even know what Im referring to? I mean, you couldve asked instead of flying off the handle, but we're past that). I would like to call attention to this issue with Halo:

Did no one at MPAC bring this issue to your attention and warn you that this could bring a negative response? This is literally one of the biggest issues female and POC characters face in comics and media in general. I think any young POC fan wouldve told you this. If they truly did not advise you against graphically killing Halo multiple times, then I think this goes to show that these institutions dont catch everything, this is why its important to listen to your fans along with them to get a full perspective. You seemed to suggest that I was insulting the org by me saying they don't represent everyone...all I was saying is that its only one perspective and you shouldnt only listen to them or use the fact that they like something to dismiss something a fan is saying.

Clearly, I touched a nerve and this caused you to misconstrue what I said and go off an a tangent about something i wasn't even talking about. Maybe because you were still upset about that tweet, which funnily enough, is the one criticism I personally don't agree with, I just noticed that you used MPAC as a shield yet again when I think it would've been better to ignore it and let that person have their own opinion. I noticed it's becoming a pattern with you and that's why I brought it up (notice I said increasingly, meaning I wasn't referring to one incident).

Truth is, you have created a bubble for yourself. The fandom on Twitter has become a place where you can't be critical of the show without getting flamed, so people don't discuss as much. Tumblr, where most of the fandom used to congregate, is pretty much dead; if it was still in its heyday, I think you would've seen a lot more backlash to Halo in particular. This forum is moderated before a question reaches you. I have seen some good discussion on Reddit, but I dont know how often you go there.

I never said you needed to leave Twitter, I suggested you maybe not respond defensively to everything. You dont need to do a poll for every decision as you sarcastically suggested, youre lucky enough to have a fanbase that gives you constructive feedback. It's impossible to please everyone, but you could use your fans as an additional resource to get a fuller perspective. But if you don't think our opinions are important enough to listen to, that's your choice.

Hello. I am the person who sent the question about you using MPAC and GLAAD to shield yourself from criticism and I see you responded in a ramble. Um..wow lol what a response.

You mistakenly thought I was only referring to that one tweet and threw a huge tantrum that I mischaracterized what you said and disrespected the Muslims who worked on the show, when you in fact mischaracterized what I was trying to say.

First of all, I was not referring to the one tweet only. I was mostly referring to how you responded to criticism of Halo. You used the fact that MPAC likes her to dismiss a lot of valid criticism about the character. And I have seen several of your answers on here when someone is critical of an LGBT character where you say GLAAD signed off on it so the criticism the person is bringing up “isnt a monolith”. You can search on here and find those yourself. That’s why I mentioned GLAAD, why would I randomly throw them under the bus as you suggested? Maybe you shouldve taken a moment to think about that and consider I wasn’t talking only about that tweet instead of flipping out while you were emotional.

THAT type of response is what I take issue with, not the characters you have created. In fact, I disagree with the tweet about not making a Muslim practice magic, I think that is more than fine. But not everyone agrees with me, there are some who believe it is haram and will take offense. Because as you say, we are not a monolith and it will be impossible to please everyone.

I just dont think you should make a habit of responding to these types of things using these institutions as a shield. And when I say that they can be out of touch…its just a simple truth that an institution cannot represent an entire demographic as a whole…I don’t know why you interpreted that as me disrespecting them. These institutions are based in America, which limits their scope, theyre adults, they’re naturally going to be out of touch with the youth, and they work in Hollywood, theyre not going to see the perspective of the working class. Not that their opinions aren’t valuable, but if you’ve got more than one fan reaching out to you on social media about something, you should value their perspective equally as much.

And as for your lovely sarcastic response asking if you should take a poll, actually lots of creators will pose general questions about representation on Twitter to gauge the response. It’s not unheard of. Or you can just read what people are saying and take it in without responding. Clearly you were being hyperbolic to make it seem like I was demanding something ridiculous. Real mature.

Finally, I LITERALLY NEVER SAID you can’t create diverse characters. Do you see me say that anywhere? Where did you get that? All I said was I don’t like how you were seemingly using these institutions to dismiss criticism and invalidate other people’s opinions. All I said was I think you should stop responding in that way and just accept not everyone will like what youre doing.

But hey, thanks for willfully misinterpreting everything I said, responding in pure anger, and getting defensive. white male fragility at its finest.

Hey Greg - you have repeatedly said you do not think giving Dick tech skills was taking away from tim because you think a modern version of the character would have those skills. i would like to offer a counter argument: dick does exist already as a character in modern comics as nightwing, and while he does have tech skills, he is consistently shown not to enjoy it or be the best in the batfam at it. he often turns to barbara or tim when something requires a lot of tech work. also tim is supposed to be the Robin most skilled in this area, that and detective and strategy skills is what sets him apart from the others who are more naturally skilled in the physical things. but in the show you have seemingly made dicks tech skills better or equal to tim. therefore i do think giving dick tech skills was taking from tim and did a real disservice to the character once he came around - tim has nothing unique to bring to the table in the show

I thought I understood something but I just read an article that is making me doubt myself.

The writer describes Zatanna as more ruthless than Batman because she took on apprentices with sole aim of using them to free her dad from Nabu without ever caring about them at all. I thought this reading was extremely harsh and wrong.

My understanding is that Zatanna's plan to save Zatara did not occur to her until "Undo!" So, it's not as though all those years ago Zatanna made Thirteen her apprentice with the intention that she could someday be used as a pawn to free Zatara from being Dr. Fate.

Do I have that right?

when u made the choice to drive one plotline forward instead of exploring the world slowly did u ever consider the wasted potential? so many characters and storylines left behind by the time skips. kinda makes me sad tbh.

I havent been able to get into young justice since it returned which was disappointing since I was a huge fan of the first two seasons, I keep trying but I was so confused why the show wasnt about the team anymore, then I recently saw you say that the show was never about the team itself, its about the original team as individuals and thats why the team isnt a focus anymore. Im honestly baffled by that…I thought the show was called Young Justice because it focused on the young heroes, aka the team. I think it also kept the show more organized when that was the focus. The only arc I have enjoyed in the latest season was Artemis, and that just so happened to be the only one that featured the team, it was the only time since it came back that it reminded me of why I wanted this show back. I think this decision was a creative misstep and I know I am not the only one who feels that way. Its your show but sadly its not the show I fell in love with anymore.

Why was Black Lightning a lead in season 3? I love the guy but it made no sense in the context of the show. He was never a young hero or on the team with the others. The only reason I can think of is that you wanted to get brownie points for making a Black character made that grandstanding speech to the rest of the heroes. It would’ve been nice if you developed Virgil instead.

It was made clear that a lot of the martians did not approve of M'gann and Conner's relationship or the fact they were getting married, but what were the White Martian's views on the subject since one of their own was marrying an Earther?

Dear Mr Wiesman I have some Young justice questions for you 1. Besides Dubbilex and Super boy can any other non human clone Genomorph speak English or any other Language ? 2. Did all the Genomrophs at Cadmus make it to geranium city or did some decide to live else were disguised as humans like the genorophs in geranium city do? 3. Besides Mayor Tompkins Sheriff Maguire and the Girls does anyone else live in Brooklyn Maine ?

Did any other girls have a crush on Superboy when they joined the Team and if so who? (obviously aside from Miss Martian and Artemis)

1. How do M'gann's family feel about this current situation regarding M'comm, his role in Conner's death as well as trying to kill the entire martian race? Have they given hope on him? Have they disowned him for tried to do and especially what he did to Conner and M'gann?
2. When did the rest of the Team and Justice League finally find out the truth about the deep cover mission? (minus the ones who already knew). It always annoyed me a bit how we never got to see everyone altogether finally find out the truth. Also why did you decide not to include that?
3. Why did Troia leave the Team?
4. How difficult was it for Artemis to rebuild her life since she faked her death and how did she explain the situation to certain people who weren't aware of her hero life?

I just realized that we've never learned that last names of anyone from Atlantis. Aside from the mermaid character, Lori Lemaris, we don't know the last names of Kaldur, Tula, Garth or La'gaan which begs the question... What are their last names?!
