      I also really enjoyed Klarion in *"Justice League: Action"* ...
      He appears in 2 of my favorite episodes, _"Trick or Threat"_ and _"Supernatural Adventures in Babysitting"_ , voiced by Noel Fisher
      (aka Brainiac 5 from "Justice League vs Fatal 5" and Gogo Shoto in "Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem")
      JL:A (2016-2018) is such a great show, it's a shame that no one ever talks about it.
      It's one of Kevin Conroy's last "big" roles as Batman, and since he's in half the episodes it would be a shame to miss that performance.

    Klarion is exactly what a selfish child with godlike powers should be like. Despite being potentially centuries old, he never stopped being a brat, his emotional maturity tied to his physical. To quote a line from the webcomic The Fancy Adventures of Jack Cannon: "Kids with godpowers. Children playing with nuclear bombs. You should be terrified."

      @@SerumLake I think it's more the difference between "liking Klarian as a character" and "liking Klarian" as a concept as well. Hehe you were unusually dismissive of him because "his story didn't have an impact" but in this day where kids get internet access and act unusually spoiled and dangerous... it's arguably one of the most impactful fears any parent has, that thier kid would end up being like him when they take out thier phone.
      Similarly as I noted in another video, The writers of BTAS seem to have it out against anthropomorphic characters (or "Furry" if you will) as they always depict them as evil or the antithesis of what a good person should be, even in the most sympathetic cases (like Justice League's Cheetah who was ashamed of her feline form until Batman convinced her not to be hard on herself, ONLY to ultimately kill her off as a traitor because she kissed Batman, and the whole "Splicers" episode of Batman Beyond effectively making it sound like Furries were terrible people who couldn't be trusted cause they're practially drug addicts. ironically judging a book by it's cover, something the otherwise very left leaning WB is normally against. Kind of a shame they keep going that route in this series.... It took until Caped Crusader to finally decide "Maybe Killer Croc shouldn't automatically be evil just because he's a scaley..... as that seemed to be the only reason they made him evil originally, despite being a victim of bullying, he was "just evil cause he's a monster". and I'm sure Klarian is a case of "DOn't think because he's an 8 year old boy means he isn't wicked and unhinged.... At least the cat survives, but I do wish Batman used the mark on her forehead to help her no longer be a tool for evil instead of just making a "Hah, I told a woman to sit cause she's a cat" joke.....

      I low-key disagree. YJ take on both Order and Chaos is extremely limited. Chaos bad, Order isn't good either. Fate is made into an absolute monster, domineering his host with no breaks and denying him any free will whatsoever. To my knowledge best Fate story is one where he learns that his resistance to flexibility taxes him more than he can bear. And Klarion is devoid of his absurdist stance from Morrison's run, his best iteration. So yeah. Flashy, but I don't think there's much meat on that bone. And they had Inza dead, she's the best part of Fate lore.

  • @Holly-khore-levina

    One point regarding Teekl and their willingness to be grabbed, handled, and so on with Klarion is that it implies a degree of closeness. That even outside the arrangement of being a familiar Teekl views Klarion as their favorite person.
    And honestly the way Young Justice and especially Phantoms went on to apply that is lovely. Showing that despite being a chaotic little shit with little regard for anyone else he adores his familiar like any good pet owner.

    Well, some redeeming quality: In a weird crossover with DC Comics and Loony Tunes which pitted Catwoman against Black Canary, alongside Sylvester and Tweety, Klarion ends up being a contributor for good winning out. Basically in a gathering of witches and other magic oriented DC characters a version of Witch Hazel enacts a wager of cosmic-level stakes between cat-kind and bird-kind: That Sylvester and Tweety must battle it out, and whichever wins everything cat or bird related in the universe will cease to be, be it biological, magical or thematic, hence Catwoman and Black Canary. At the height pretty much every cat and bird themed superhero and villain is conjured to duke it out, but Klarion ends up being one of the individuals who calls for this silly wager to end, namely because he didn't want to lose Teekl, even if he himself would not be affected by the wager.

      It also reminds me of a theory I heard; the 'anchor' to keep an all powerful being in this level of reality for the order lord we know (Dr Fate) is a different person every time (a bit of chaos to balance the order) who becomes an avatar for the helm.
      The anchor for the well know chaos lord in the show, Klarion, is seemingly the same cat name and all. The one bit of 'order' in Klarion's existence

    It's interesting how insular the supernatural things remained in a way. It would have been interesting to see how the New Batman Adventures rogues gallery would have acted or what they would have done if even for a single episode they were clued in on sorcery/sorcerers being a reality. Outside of Poison Ivy, who already is a meta human with powers. I can already hear Mark Hamill reciting some form of pixie dust joke line in my head writing this. And no, I don't mean Emperor Joker grade stuff. More like just the clown getting his hands on some minor magical doodads to throw into the ring at a moment when it amuses him. And the Joker and JL style snarky Etrigan being in the same room bantering as all heck breaks loose would have been very amusing, plus provide a good set up for quite a many gags. Not to mention how other rogues gallery members would react to and behave in the presence of Etrigan.

    If they didn't want supernatural characters then they should have restricted what some of the characters they used can do. Ras was clearly using magic to extend his life, but some of the things Ivy did just defy science, and that's if we don't count Manbat and Clayface. If you let sci-fi go far enough, it just looks like magic.

    Godlike power and childlike immaturity are a deadly combination, but also a very entertaining one. See also: Majin Buu.
    Episode definitely felt like the Hand of Fate from the Superman animated series, with our hero forced to ask the aid of a sorcerer to handle a dangerous magical threat they're completely unversed in.

    Besides Klarion, there is Mordred, the son of Morgan La Fey, from Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. I love the JLU episode, " Kids Stuff", where Mordred steals a medallion and uses it's magic to banish all the adults to another dimension so that he will be the king of an adult free world! Also, he turned Etrigan into a baby demon!

    Klarion himself got a much more interesting update in later iterations, especially Young Justice. Which honestly improves this episode for me retroactively.

    True Story: Paul Dini pitched the Sandman story after nearly dying from being mugged and getting the crap beaten out of him after being friend zoned by this 3rd-rate actress. It was basically the first step in his recovery after dealing with all that (including nearly killing himself the year before by cutting himself with his Emmy after another actress zoned him)
    He talks about it in a cool comic about that time period in his life.

    I think the mystical villains were used as a vehicle to introduce Batman and Superman series’ fans to the mystical realm of DC as well bring in heroes like Fate and Etrigan to the audience. That’s why these villains have little depth and motivations compared to the main villains of the series.

    I love how almost everybody seems to agree that the Young Justice version of Klarion is the best iteration. And, personally, I wholeheartedly agree.
    The idea of taking him from a petulant child who uses his powers for the most basic things to an actual *Lord of Chaos* who serves as Doctor Fate's opposite was honestly genius.
    Especially since it makes Klarion even more threatening while punctuating *everything* that's alredy there for the character and it honestly just makes him *more fun*
    Klarion's antics are still childish and done for his own amusement, but also potentially disastrous on a worldwide scale and done with a degree of competence as now he's a being that can warp space, time & reality to an extent; while also having immense magical power.
    You really get the sense that literally the *only thing* holding him back is the fact that he is so disinterested in doing any real work. Otherwise he would have likely ended all life on Earth Milennias ago.
    Even more interesting is his relationship with Teekl. In a sense, they complete each other.
    Klarion is virtually invincible, but unfocused.
    Whereas Teekl is the voice of reason, but as his *anchor* to the physical world is both vulnerable and is his only *true* weakness.
    Which is fitting since Teekl is just about the only thing Klarion cares about more than himself & his own amusement. This, admittebly, adds an interesting level of relatability to him tbh. The idea that this supremely powerfull, inherently destructive, being of pure Chaos cares about his *cat* THAT much is weirdly wholesome.

    I loved this character, because while The Superman Adventures had that weird Cthulu episode to introduce Dr. Fate, this was the Batman episode that introduced Magic. And while Superman goes on to HATE magic (so so much because it's a weakness) Batman just KNOWS the spell to bond Entrigan and Blood back together. The man did his homework.

And then he never came back. TNBA was a confusing experience for us kids new to the Batman universe.

    I wouldn't call him a favorite, but as someone with a lot of power and little real-world experience, I thought they treated him as to be expected. Unlike Wil Riker, who learned a lesson when given Q powers, Klariin hadcyet to learn his. There is a potential redemption arc there, which I doubt they will ever get to.

  • @dohavename6775
    @dohavename6775 Місяць тому +1

    After having read 2005 version of Klarion, honestly, I'm down the rabbit hole. That was the definitive take on Klarion: debate of nihilism and absurdism, where Klarion represents the latter.
    On another note, YJ show (another prominent outing for the Witch-boy) can't handle neither Fate, nor Klarion. Their concepts of Order and Chaos are paper-thin, vapid, yet flashy. At least both have finally made an appearance against one another on the screen.

  • @seikoseikogirl2758

    I think Young Justice did a better take on the character, but when I first watched this episode for the first time, I was more intrigued than anything else as this episode was my introduction to Etrogen and Klarion and I would imagine many others that haven't read the comics previously.
    While Klarion maybe just a footnote in the villain's rouge's gallery, he was more a fun character that we were never supposed to be taken seriously. He was a child with magic powers with childish desires all because he was a child with magic powers.

    Like bro would be a absolute menace to society if he ever went down that route.
