Teen Titans
 

:lol: I just saw a commercial for this. Please tell me that's not the black cyborg dude that used to be on the Super Friends.

I think so... good gravy that show looks so amazingly bad :dead: :dead: :dead:

I don't recall much of Super-Friends... but the "black cyborg dude" (or Cyborg, as his character is called) is the same guy from the original 1980s Teen Titans comic series.

The show seems to want to try and be a more modern version of the 1980s Titans, which is why they have 80s characters like Cyborg and Raven in it.

i saw like a preview for this and it looks craptacular

first of all its american animators trying to jump on the bandwagon and make it a anime (the fountains when they cry or that sweatdrop)

and it just comes out really stupid

and it looks like it deserves to be on KidsWB cuz everything else on the saturday lineup is crap anyway (although jackie chan is cool) have you seen that megaman show on Wb? :dead:

the mega man show sucks, its like friggin pokemon! I almost fell off my chair when I saw it
its so stupid

I've been more or less following the titans. And yes this show may very well suck. I can't say for sure, but the villians are either made for the show or just really obscure. Some of the Eps sound OK, but most sound like a waste of time (off the top of my head the only good one will be with Cyborg going further machine). Don't look for batman to show up, or even be mentioned. SThe show seems to be Justice League lite mixed with a bit of Loony Toons.

And if you didn't know, the cast of the show is now the cast of the comic (I can't believe they got rid of Young Justice just so they could get Robin in the comic)

Yeah, it is the black dude. But one thing I don't get: Is Robin Tim Drake or Dick Grayson?

Shellfox, you just explained, without even trying, what pisses me off most about DC: DC is basically run entirely by Warner Brothers or whatever other cash-in is related to it at any given time.

Think about it:
Supergirl in the comic book is the Earth Angel of Fire attached to human host Linda Danvers. Supergirl in the Superman cartoon is not an Earth Angel, has significantly fewer powers than Superman, and wears a "costume" consisting of a t-shirt and a cape. So, of course, Supergirl in the comic is de-powered and given a costume identical to the one in the cartoon.

Aquaman is dead in the comics. Aquaman is scheduled to guest-star in an issue of the Justice League cartoon. So, of course, Aquaman is brought back from the dead and given ANOTHER crappy ongoing series. Because he guest-starred on Justice League.

And, the most recent scenario: DC has a poor-selling book in The Titans and a decent-selling book in Young Justice. DC signs a deal for a new Teen Titans cartoon show. DC cancels both Titans and Young Justice so Young Justice would become Teen Titans and The Titans would become The Outsiders. Why? So people who saw the cartoon show would be able to read a comic without getting "confused."

I'm pretty sure John Stewart becoming Green Lantern for a few months in GL last year was all about him being GL in the Justice League cartoon, too. I'm getting fed up with this "if it's on tv, it's in the comic" stuff. It's infringing upon the writers' abilities to tell... yknow... actual stories.

Yeah, me too. I'm tired of explaining to people that John Stewart is the crappiest GL. They come up to me and start talking 'comics' with me, but they think the cartoon is exactly like the comics. It's ********. John Stewart is crippled in the comics. If the toon was anything like the comics, Kyle would be the GL, Stewart would be in his wheelchair, and there would be a Young Justice instead of a Teen Titans toon.

They royally effed up continuity by having Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire, but no Kid Flash. The reason is obvious, The Flash in the JL toon is the same who was once Kid Flash. By that time Dick grayson would be Nightwing, and Tim Drake would be a part of Young Justice, and not the TT.

Leo it is scary how much we think alike. I've hated the fact that is a comic gets a movie or TV, the book is changed to reflect it. To make matter worse its not just DC thatsm doing it, Marvle has done it to a degree to. After teh movie Green Goblin went from green and purple to a suit reminisent of the movie. X-Men the movie comes out the guys go to black leather (I HATE THE NEW SUITS). Hell even Toad was changed to reflect his movie counter part in the core universe.
Hell DC can't even keep its continuum straight. In superman they introduced Green Lanturn as Kyle, now we have no mention of him. In batman, Demon was hidden in Blood, now its a punishment. And while I'm not sure in Superman I think Flash was introduece as the second one not the current version.
Not to metion Obsidian Age, I loved the idea of a new JLA team, and putting Hawkgirl in it as a temp was a good way to point to the show, but adding John Stuert sucked. I don't mind having him around with powers, but put him else where.
One final note
How can they be called the Teen Titans in the book? Half the team has got to be in their 20's and most have been around longer than I've been alive.

OK final final note, if titans does suck X-Men Evolotion has an interesing idea

is it me or does she look like magma?

Actually I don't think John Stewart's been crippled for quite a while. I think he got over that a while ago thanks to Parallax/Hal Jordan. He recently took over for Kyle as GL of Earth when Kyle got fed up with the human race and left Earth after his gay assistant was beaten into a coma by some hate-mongers.

Personally, I never liked John Stewart. Not because he was black, not because he wasn't Hal... but because he just FURTHER PROVES how DC has conspired against Guy Gardner since DAY ONE to keep that damn title of "One, TRUE Green Lantern" ever out of his grasp! ARRRGH! He was supposed to be GL! Abin Sur just crashed closer to Jordan! When Hal couldn't be GL of Earth, it should have automatically gone to Guy, John Stewart need never have even existed! Guy oughta be in the Justice League cartoon, too! He has more Justice League miles on him than ANY GL!!! :evil:

But yeah, see it doesn't really bug me when Marvel does stuff like change costumes and stuff (mostly cuz I don't read Marvel, heheh)... but when DC cancels two books just so they can restart a new one that can loosely resemble a cartoon show that will likely not last past the first season, that's just lame. They should've just done another animated series book and called it Teen Titans Adventures like they do with all their other cartoons.

On a side note, I finally picked up all four parts of "The Judas Contract" storyline in the old Teen Titans book. Never really got into Titans, figure I wanna see what all the fuss is about. :)

I got called a racist for saying John Stewart sucks. I just think he sucks because he's not the GL I was first introduced to and actually thought was cool. I hate Stewart because he's too "Perfect." I can relate to Rayner, the comic junk, etc.

It's just like how I like Tim Drake as Robin over Dick Grayson, (Nightwing is better for ol' Dick anyways).

Bah. Guy Gardner has always been the one, TRUE Green Lantern.

Though he was cooler with Sinestro's yellow ring. Speaking of which, didn't Parallax destroy it? How come one of Kyle's recent villains had a yellow Sinestro ring? I don't read GL religiously, how'd they explain that? That's GUY'S RING dammit! They need to get rid of those retarded "Warrior" powers and give him back his ring!

....of course, in my "Legacy of the Ring" fic I did just that, but... I'm sure DC could do it in a way less-complicated way. They owe it to poor ol' Guy. He gets no love. :cry:

I know the guy your talking about, not well mind you, but I don't think the guy had a ring. If I remember right he was directly tied to the power kinda like kyle was at the time.

And as a Lanturn I don't think Johns bad, he just seems redundant at the time. We already have Kyle, Sentinal, and the green chick. Granted only one is a lanturne at the moment but they all had the title at some point and they all have very similar powers. Between them john just seems redundant, if they played up him military past, then he could be salvagable. And the toon version just plain sucks, bring back the Kyle version.

And Leo face facts there are chacters that are made to be abused, Guy is one of them, so is Metamorphs, they have great potential, they just never can catch a break

Yeah, I know... Guy's a doormat... that's kinda why he worked so well... :(

But at least when he had Sinestro's ring he was a doormat with his own book. Now he's a half-alien doormat with no book and creepy morphing powers. I don't like Guy dressed up like Ultimate Warrior on crack. :(

And I know there was a new yellow ring, I saw it on a cover, I'm 99% sure. Now if it does exist, and if I were Guy, I'd want it back. Or else I'd storm the DC offices, like he did in Justice League America #50, or the final issue of his own book. That was great stuff. Editors a-flyin'. :lol:

Cyborg is the dumbest looking super hero. And Teen Titans looks like it was drawn by a ten year old with no arms.

If we're talking about the guy that fought Kyle from the ION origin story line, I don't recall ever seeing a ring on him. There may have been, but I don't recall ever seeing one with him

I'll have to pick up a few back issues when I get paid. As it is I just spend 30 bucks on this "Judas Contract" story.

I think you mean the GL story "New Journey-Old Path." The bad guy who had the ring is Alex Nero, AKA Nero. He got the yellow ring, Sinistro's.

Sounds familiar, but how? Parallax destroyed it. Did the Qwardians build another one? They said in Guy Gardner Reborn that they could never duplicate it, but they could have been lying.

Any idea where this "new" Sinestro ring came from?

And seriously, no joke... Guy still pops up in GL now and then, he oughta try and get it back. He was so damn pissed that he lost it in the first place...

Basic happenings in the storyline:

Kyle gets the job at a magazine company, but then gets kidnapped and dragged into space, and they take his ring. Kyle destroys the space station, goes home, yada-yada, Fatality shows up with a yellow ring. Her arm blows up when she takes off the ring, looks xactly like Sinistro's. The Qwards made the ring, and make another for a mental patient, who draws demonic pictures. They give him the ring and he escapes and brings hell on earth. The Sentinel gets the hell beat out of him, Kyle comes, figures out whats happening and calls in the JLA.

A trio of reviews of the show

bets passage of 3
Which is not to say that Teen Titans has the complexity of Justice League (which I personally believe is WBA's most mediocre program on the network). Meanwhile, if you've come for epic two-part stories, watch Justice League. If you've come looking for shot-for-shot duplications of comic book material, watch Justice League. If you've come looking for another Batman: The Animated Series, stop watching TV and just put a bullet through your head.

Well, I haven't seen it, but from reading that at least it looks like they're gonna loosely follow the comic book a little bit since Slade (Deathstroke) and H.I.V.E. are in it. Maybe they'll introduce Terra at some point this season and have her betray the Titans to Slade and H.I.V.E. in the second season if there is one.

You think Terra will be sleeping with Slade in the toon? :lol:

Well if they really go anime in the us-wise, it'll look to most people like she is, but they'll say something else completely (like Urinas and Neptune in Saloir Moon). But I guess putting that much thought into a US series would be ro much to be expected.

And up till the those reviews I had no idea Slade was Deathstroke, makes sence they couldn't use hie real name

Bwaaaa-ha-ha-ha-haaa... now that'd be interesting.

But no chance in hell. I can barely imagine how they got away with a storyline involving a grown man sleeping with a barely 16-year old girl in the comic to begin with, even if it WAS the 80s. No way they'd even touch on that part of it in the cartoon.

OK I'm 7 minutes into the first ep, and I'm desperatly tring to resist the 'throw TV through window' impulse.

and the the theme song SUCKS

oh man just saw the show...................... :sleep: what a piece of crap
talk about crap
I hope this show crash and burns

OK the show got better as it went on, for now I'm reserving full judgement for at least 1 more ep.

But beastboys T-Rex was fun to watch, and I can see Cyborg as a possible saving grace. But I really want some one to slit Starfires throught. Don't have any real oppinoins on Raven and Robin.

for those who missed it eh first time around it'll be on agin today before X-Men Evolution, but if you check the TV guide chanel they say the eps both Gardation Day and Sisters, but I'm betting its graduation day again

why they didn't give an origin ep for this show is beyond me, or did I miss it?

The theme song was actually performed by Puffy, a Japanese Pop group...
So the Anime connection just gets stronger, and stronger...

*sai*....another Anime-type cartoon..... :|
I don't know how to react....

this has to be the worse cartoon I have seen in years!!!!!!!!
I use to like robin now hes.....like a preipe! hes so stupid and whats with that pryro girl.....she scares me :o

LOL! :lol: You guys can bash this show all you want, but I think it rocks! It's frickin' hilarious!

I would like the show a lot more to if i wasent called teen titions and didnt have any thing to do with the teen titions and wasent on tv and was never ever thought of

than it would be a good show :P

It isn't called Teen titions, major pain :lol:
I don't know, it was kinda all right. I like Puffy, so the theme song didn't seem so bad to me.

:sick: i need to learn how to spell better

but really what was up with that pyro girl was she like that in the comic?!
