It was great to see a story in the JL/JLU style. It brought back a lot of memories.
The attraction for me was the old-school Legion and the always scary Fatal Five. I loved seeing Star Boy getting some screen time. Yeah, I'm an old guy. Kids these days, they don't understand...

The problem is that Americans don't know when they're being pandered to.
This show shows that in spades. To make the show "light-hearted", the characters all start acting like US college freshmen. Same humor, same slang. Especially annoying when the characters aren't American, but African, Asgardian, Russian, space aliens etc. It got worse throughout the season, culminating in the complete farce that was Episode 9, but many Americans just lap it up and don't see a problem. The animation on the faces, with exaggerated mugging, makes it reminiscent of Scooby Do, not the Marvel heroes I have loved for over 50 years
Drunken Thor (the worst example) is an OK concept, but would a 1000-year old Asgardian, with all that experience, act and sound like like a foolish, feckless 18 year old US college freshman? I don't think so.
I love America, and American culture, but sometimes it's just inappropriate to the material.
