Teen Titans: Your thoughts and mine...

Alas, I was not very fond of the episode. Then again, I am not necessarily part of their target audience.

I did not like the obviously anime-influenced animation sytle. That was a big turn off for me. I also did not like Cyborg's character in general (it just sounded like too much effort to use the high-tech slang words, both by him and those attacking him). Also, aside from beastboy and robin, the limits of their powers seemed unlimited (how much and different types of things could the others do? Every scene they seemed to be able to do more above and beyond than before)...

Again, though, I suppose I was not their target auidence. I was really hoping to like it though as it otherwise seemed like something I would be into. :(

It's the same voice actor, Scott Menville. He was also the voice for Johnny Quest (80s version).
 

Well, I missed it again.

Oh well. It's probably for the best. I'm one of those old bastards who collected comics in the 80's-90's and got tired of "alive-dead-alive-dead-alive" issue that comics tend to suffer although I do remember Starfire and Robin's first kiss in the comics so that she could absorb language. Funny stuff and George Perez's art was outstanding.
 

The show reminds me of the old Super Friends shows, and Robin had to say that one line that reminded me of the Super friends, "Listen up, Teen Titans!".
 

What station is this show on? I'd like to catch it.

BTW, I saw in TV Guide (gee -- should have checked the station then...) that each character was influenced by a character in The Breakfast Club.

I saw it. I thought it was worse then Superman, Justice League, and Batman.

Its obviously intended for a younger audience than me.

I didn't care for the anime stuff.

I didn't have any problems with the slade part.

Its just that it all seemed so "juvenile", although, to be truthful, some of the Titans (in particular Changling) were juvenile.

We need some more Teen Titans though ... are Terra, Speedy, and Kid Flash going to join the team?
 

Well got to see the newest one...it was interesting...but I still feel like I'm missing some of the elements key in Justice League and Batman. But otherwise it's decent fare. I do think though I can see the appeal Starfire can have...and after reading more of the comics I'm down with Raven's goth feel.

Justice League shows seem to be following the same pattern every episode. First, everyone has to show they can handle Superman, or it's Game Over right away! So yeah, they pretty much have to stick to high-power stuff.

Teen Titans is still feeling its way around, apparently "going through the list". I wouldn't be surprised if something about Raven's father isn't introduced within the next 3 episodes. The anime influence doesn't bother me, nor does it particularly thrill me. Anime has its advantages and disadvantages. I keep thinking Beastboy should turn into a chicken and see if he does as well as Samurai Jack did when he was a chicken!
