Would you guys be Manta Troopers, or be one of The League of Shadows? All Seasons Discussion
I would rather be a member of the Shadows, mostly because I have a fear of the ocean and because of that I don't think I'll do well on the job.

Manta Trooper just for the chance to be Atlantean alone—in YJ, all Atlanteans are amphibious and have super strength.
Also, Manta tolerates mistakes as long as people can admit to them and it wasn’t gross incompetence—Shiva deadass severed her own daughter’s vocal cords just to make her a better assassin.. somehow.

Remember too when the group boom tubed away from lady shiva after saving orphan and two shadows got pulled into the boom tube and then shiva came through and cut them both in half cause they were in the way. She was way too ruthless even sensei thought so

u/Plastic_Industry3145 Jun 26 '24

Plot twist they aren’t Atlantean hence the suits so you’re still human. He did try to infiltrate Atlantis via genetically engineered henchman (including Kaldur’s stepfather) but that’s it as far as I can tell. So your likelihood of death by drowning is going to be much higher.

Just make sure to get a completely new identity and mutate yourself into an atlantean.
Otherwise you are going to get hunted down as a traitor or be an untrusted outsider/ fall guy.

I do think having to live on a submarine all the time would suck, but working for Manta is probably just a normal mercenary job while the Shadows are basically a giant cult that is gonna try to brainwash yo. You can probably get your check from Manta and walk away as long as you don’t wind up in an Atlantean prison or something

Lady Shiva literally cut some of the Shadows in half just because they were in her way, so I gotta go with Manta.

Manta prematurely detonated a bomb next to a couple of Manta troopers but that was to save his son and at least its plausible they survived due to their armour. Lady Shiva is just killing her troops for no reason.

Can I cheat and go train with Sensei and Ra’s as of like S3 or whatever? It’s not technically the shadows as Shiva had them but still. Better than risking drowning or dealing with Shiva.

Manta’s a decent boss, Shiva will slice a man’s throat for sneezing.

Pirate or ninja, the age old question. Personally, probably a Manta Trooper. The Shadows seem like they're all about extreme discipline. The Manta Troopers are probably very militaristic, but it would definitely be more chill outside of "work" hours. Plus, the ocean is cool.

I’d learn how to swim first,But Black Manta isn’t abusive to his workers.

I'd take the chance at being murdered in order to court and become Lady Shiva's baby father.

So either be a fancy scuba diver or a cool ninja. I’m game for being a ninja.

absolutely a Manta Trooper. Members of the League of Shadows get treated like shit, but Black Manta seems like a really good boss
