“Come on, Raven. What stings the most? That I tricked you? That I nearly wiped out your team? That everyone liked me better than you?”

“Stop it.”

“Or is it that deep down inside, you really believed I was your friend?”

“I TRUSTED YOU!”

The fact that I have to go out of my way to define what is and what isn’t legitimate criticism to people is sad.

Okay, and let ME explain

There are two groups of people who are upset here. There are the hardcore fans crying over the loss of a proper sequel who, really, need to get over it because even if they did get it they’d probably be disappointed with that too quite frankly

Then there’s the people like me

I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT IS A COMEDY OR BECAUSE IT’S SHORTS OR WHATEVER. NO, THAT’S -FINE- IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER.

The animation is fluid, the voice acting is SPOT ON, and some of the writing is pretty ok. The show isn’t the problem.

The problem is taking characters and mushing them into a situation to make a joke but in doing so EFFECTIVELY LOSING THE CHARACTERS. Let me further explain:

Starfire’s original character trait, above all, was being someone who was playful and kind. She loved trying new things and attempting to introduce her friends to her culture because it made her feel closer with them.

What is Starfire’s defining trait in the reboot? She’s lovesick. What did they focus on in the commercials? Her tendancy to overreact to something happening to her appearance. They took the depth out of her and DIDN’T EVEN KEEP TRUE TO HER CHARACTER TRAITS.

The same can be said for Beast Boy; he’s a trickster and a goof but he’s sincerely a good guy who cares a lot about others. What is his main character trait? Idiocy. They made him more stupid so they can play that as a joke too.

And it goes on.

Robin is bossy and annoying, Cyborg is so lazy FIGHTING CRIME IS A CHORE TO HIM, and RAVEN?

DO I REALLY NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY DID TO RAVEN?

I don’t mind having a comedic spin off. The idea is GREAT.

I mind having three dimensional characters twisted and warped until they’re so flat they barely seem human JUST FOR A PUNCHLINE. What makes the Teen Titans series great is being able to address issues and relate you to the cast EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN YOU. Racism was addressed, self esteem was addressed, abusive family was adressed

I GET THAT THESE THINGS WOULD NEVER BE IN A SHOW LIKE THIS

I just wished they did the cast more justice.

Who is a better role model for your kid, the Starfire who depends solely on a crush to seem relevant or the Starfire that teaches you no matter how different you are, your friends will love and accept you?

The Cyborg that struggled to accept himself or the Cyborg that would rather sleep all day than lend a hand?

Just some food for thought.

^ ^ ^ Basically my thoughts on this.

I know it may sound lame, since I was a lot older at the time, but when the original Teen Titans was airing I really needed the role models and life lessons they taught.

What makes me disappointed with the sequal is NOT the animation, NOT the style (I like the style, sorry haters to the back), NOT the humor or the references.

Its that these are really one dimensional characters, and everything that was great about who they were is gone.

And I feel without that, the whole world of Teen Titans feels lost to me. It’s uncompelling and uninteresting and just.

….Well, it reminds me of the Mad cartoon shorts.

Probably because it’s done by the same few people (I think, right?)

It’s just…… just…..

idk.

flat. boring, uninspired. 

in-lovino-veritas:

Maybe you haven’t noticed, but my emotions are dangerous. I can’t afford to feel anything. You may have my body, but you know nothing about me.

THIS is how the Teen Titans are supposed to be.

Raven is a great example of the depth to which the writers took the character development.

Remember how Teen Titans had a lesson about Racism without blatantly bringing Cyborg’s Race into it?

The most Powerful scene of the whole series.

This scene is so beautiful to me because it’s one of those things the writers put in for the older viewers despite the overwhelming younger demographic, but instead of some kind of sexual joke, it’s an actually powerful wake-up call.

Just because someone is of the same blood as you, doesn’t mean you automatically have to love them. Your family needs to earn your love and respect, not mandate it due to the presence of mutual genes. And I think that’s something a lot of us don’t realize until we’re older, and it’s a bit too late.
