Teen Titans Go!

Want a good DC Story? This ain't one.

Want a fun show that you can enjoy with family and has a simple yet good premise that knows what its doing?

Teen Titans Go may or may not be for you. Me though? It's whatever, it's okay and it's simple like Uncle Grandpa. 6/10

Look, this show is NOT the same as Teen Titans (2003). This reminds me of when people got really upset about Batman: The Brave and the Bold because it was campy, retro, and in general more of a Silver Age variety and not dark and gritty like the Nolanverse. BTBATB was a great show because it got people to think about comics and DC heroes in a different way than has been done since the advent of uber-realistic hero films/programming.

I'm a big DCU fan,and I have been for a long time. I also have a young son, and I really enjoy watching this show with him. He's a bit young for me to feel super positive about letting watch some of the darker DC shows (There are some pretty dark ones), but this one, I feel is fine. It's just a bit of fun. I like that he is able to have a show that he enjoys and learns about characters that I grew up reading. The characters share the spirit that the characters have always had, it's just a different interpretation of how to present the characters. It's not for everyone, but what is? Is it ridiculous? Yes. Is it bizarre? Yes. But you know what? Not all DCU shows can (or should even try) to be edgy, boundary pushing explorations of what a hero is. Sometimes it's okay to just have a good time for no reason.

Teen Titans Go! is a reaction to all those dark and gritty reboots coming up in the superhero genre.

Obviously if you are looking for the dark and gritty Teen Titans, this isn't the show for you.

But if you're into seeing the characters in a fresh light, I say do give it a go.

This show amplifies their personalities and story lines, adapting them in a comical way: like, Robin admiring Batman from afar and being overly-ecstatic and ambitious as a leader trying to get his unconvinced team on board with his absurd plans. It delivers sly and clever digs packaged in a friendly style.

It doesn't take itself seriously. It likes to have fun.

I know that many fans of the original series may be disappointed that this show is not as dark, action-packed or plot-filled as the original. But for those that are seeking a fun and adventurous show like "Adventure Time" instead of a children's version of "Sherlock Holmes", then this is the show for you.

In fact, I was a fan of the original series and enjoyed every episode in this series. It's simply a new twist on the great show that it's predecessor was. It's different, is all, and that's no reason to completely despise it.

Although this show still has it's faults. This new series does not have as much character development or crime-fighting that made the original loved by all ages. In other words, there isn't much action or plot to this show, it's instead focused on comedy and adventure (which is the opposite of what the original was). And that's why it may become dull and pointless for some after a couple of episodes. Some will like that and some will hate that. But hey, it's a show meant for Cartoon Network. What else would you expect?

In conclusion, this is a well animated and cheerfully written show meant for all ages and families, like shows on Cartoon Network should be. However, it's not what most DCU's work is famous for, so fans of DCU may be disappointed.

Teen Titans Go is a decent comedy that receives way too much hate. People are comparing it to Teen Titans, which is the problem. Once you accept that these are two different cartoons, the more acceptable the show becomes. If the creators hadn't slapped the 'Teen Titans' in the name of the show, then this would have a better average rating. For a complete cartoon comedy, this show is pretty decent. Sure, the comedy is pretty low-brow at times, but it does have a few clever moments, with acceptable animation. Comparing this to Teen Titans is like comparing Dora the Explorer to the spin-off aimed at a higher demographic; you just can't. Essentially, this is a children's comedy with expectable children's comedy, with the inclusion of a few clever jokes. I would recommend it to children who want to kill ten minutes every once and a while.
