Teen Titans: Your thoughts and mine...

[Nightfall]

Saw the show...not sure if I feel its on the same level as Justice League or Batman (take your pick on which animated one I'm referring to). But eh, was fun to watch. Just want to know more about Slade...and less teenage agnst. However since that what this show was geared for...I guess I'll just have to deal.

My first two comics I ever read on a regular basis, Teen Titans and The Legion of SuperHeroes.

Oh, I know all about Slade and it was a nice revision of Gizmo and Mammoth also. I do hope they plan to have the other Teen Titans at least guest star in some episodes. Also, I am curious how they will handle Raven's father on the show.

Could do without the "super deformed anime" aspects though. That is the one thing I don't like about Rurouni Kenshin as well, it destroys the illusion and makes it into just a cartoon.

It was great fun. I enjoyed it.

I liked it. I usually prefer more serious stuff, that's more true to modern super-hero comics, like Batman TAS and the 80's X-Men cartoon. This is clearly and intentionally done in a very different style, and that's fine with me. I don't want all super-hero cartoons to be the same.

Assuming there's no major decline in the show's quality, I'd rank Teen Titans higher than X-Men Evolution or Static Shock. For some reason, those two never fully clicked for me.

I will have to watch it somemore. I don't know about it quite yet. They couldn't use Slade's "real name" because it would scare the kiddies they figured. All in All it isn't bad but I hope it does get a little better. Too much out and out goofiness for me at this point.

Also, I am curious how they will handle Raven's father on the show.

Never read Teen Titans save for one issue, so what's the deal with Raven's father?

Anyway, I REALLY hated all the anime conventions they used. It's PRECISELY that crap that turns me off of anime, and it seems like they decided to shove every last annoying convention down our throats in the first 10 minutes, alone.

That having been said, once I got past all that annoying anime crap, I liked it. Would've liked it a lot better without all that anime garbage, but even with that it's good enough for me to watch on a regular basis. Still, the old Batman and Superman cartoons, along with X-Men: Evolution and Justice League, are vastly superior to what I've seen so far.

As for Slade, I don't get how the X-Men cartoon from the 90's was able to use the name "Lady Deathstrike" but Teen Titans can't use "Deathstroke". It's a difference of one letter! Oh well.

It was tons, miles better than Justice League (I can't understand what they're trying to do with that show; the plots are too ridiculously high-powered for me to care about the characters), and I'd also rank it above X-Men: Evolution, even though the feel of each of the two shows is very different. This one was fun and witty, and overall very entertaining to watch.

I'll admit, I love anime, and don't understand why some people dislike certain 'anime conventions' like sweat drops, forehead vein-bulges, split-panel screens, and super-deformed characters. They're great tools for conveying different tones and elements of the story, and I think they fit this show very well.

Sure, it can't hold a candle to the Jackie Chan Adventures, but Teen Titans is still pretty good. Plus, the theme music is adorable.

I finally got around to watching it this morning. For some reason this show just didn't work for me. It wasn't bad, but it was not great either. Not something I plan to go out of my way to watch.

Whats odd is I love Anime and all of the odd conventions of, but for me they just did not work well with this show. It felt too forced I guess.
