You're a stronger person than me when it comes to TTG. I stopped after "Pirates" and wanted to get back in then "Rocks and Water" happened. If you have any recs of eps to definitely see or avoid please let me know! I remember there was one ep that was pretty much an 80s punk anime music video &one where the girls team up which seemed like the one ep they were nice to Terra.

I’m not stronger, I’m just sturbborn. :P

Damn, let me see if I remember the eps well enough to suggest some. I’ll go from after Pirates.

The one right after Pirates, Money Grandma, I think I remember that being amusing. It’s Robin vs George Washington.

I can’t remember if Brian was good or not but they annoy Brain and the birdarang and paint bot and others save the Titans so it’s at least different.

Cool School was good. It was the first ep Rose was in.

Operation Tin Man is a CyJinx ep.

I can’t remember if The Hive Five is a good ep or not but it’s more about them than the Titans and I do like seeing more of them.

I think 40% 40% 20% might be the 80s thing you meant.

I don’t remember Grube's Fairytales but they do their own twist on fairytales so it could be good.

Two Parter had them dress up as the Justice League and fight Weird Al. That’s all I remember from it so I don’t recal if it’s good but it’s Weird Al so probably is.

I don’t really remember How Bout Some Effort? but it’s CyJinx ep.

Obinray has the team speaking Pig Latin so Robin won’t understand. i don’t remember it too well but the concept amused me.

I don’t remember if I liked Wally T. or not but it was made for someone from the Make A Wish foundation so I at least appreciate that it exists.

Operation Dude Rescue is the girls team up two parter so watch those.

History Lesson is the same as Grube’s Fairytales but obviously with history.

Oregon Trail basically has the Titans live out the game. So it’s good if you want to remember the game if you played it.

The Cape is funny. It dubs the 03 TT ep “Divide and Conquer”.

I think Booby Trap House was the ep that felt pretty CyStar like so it’s good.

That should catch you up. There’s probably more but I don’t remember them all.

ruhigknight replied to your post “Why do you think they changed Kori's starbolts to green in the Teen...”

yeah I think they mainly wanted to keep her secondary color scheme just secondary colors which works tbh. Why Blackfire got pink tho I'm not too sure other than it "pops" more with her black wardrobe &she was the painfully obvious "evil sibling" already so maybe they decided to switch it up & give her a "girly" starbolt color

“Blackfire needs to be the opposite of Starfire so let’s give her Starfire’s actual starbolt color because we’re Unimaginative”

that was mean but also I feel like that’s how it went and I am also a Bitter Old Lady at 20 years old

  Random thought on the Steven Universe Height...

In SU’s case a lot of rage is also overflow from other fandom discourses, the show being put on a pedestal, &creators just calling it “artistic” plus characters not being inconsistent and the plot’s pacing adds fuel to the fire. Like seriously I’ve seen SU stans seem to think being “On model” sucks away any creativity &bc Family Guy uses model sheets it must be awful.

Family Guy’s a pile of shit for a world of things, but model sheets isn’t one of them. On the other hand, like, the existence of model sheets isn’t the end of the world. The model sheets of Bugs Bunny and Tom the Cat have little in common with how Chuck Jones animated them other than cheek and foot size, but those big doe eyes and the wild expressions are exactly what makes Jones’ style his style. The original Avengers in the hands of current artists look literally nothing like how Kirby originally designed them aside from keeping their hair colors and general shapes straight (even their costumes change in the hands of the artists), and for awhile, you could even follow the art progression in those weird roll-call comics until the lineup of past and present Avengers got too huge.

So basically, both sides are right? And both sides are being shitheads? The individual directors and storyboarders have their own styles. So what? But if there’s a baseline for them to start from while keeping their style, that’s cool too!

ruhigknight replied to your post: @ruhigknight I agree with your tags but I’m going...

I wish you best of luck. Rebirth TT isn’t the worst TT book but between the confusing de-aging (esp Kory) &trying to be the cartoon characters….

yeah it’s not my favorite book and as soon as I thought it was getting better it tanks again :/

🔥 Pokémon?

I don’t even remember what’s unpopular. I guess preferring Orangeshipping over Pokeshipping?

I don't blame you at all like I wrote in the review there's a lot I enjoy about E1 Titans BUT WHY THIS AGAIN WITH JOEY HE WAS A BIG REASON I WAS SO PUMPED. Esp from a guy who supposedly likes him. I just hope v3 really does turn things around for him whenever it comes out. Also annoyed precious pacing and time was used to shoehorn in a Wally West who's probably less Wally than the Nu52 one & shoving other sidekicks at the expense of their mentors when we could use it to focus more on the rest

i definitely gathered there was a lot of good stuff going on with the other titans! i hope people took that from my last post; the rest of it seems fine and i’m literally only bitter about joey (and a couple of other little things) because he was the story element i was on board for. there are a million other places i can get good content of all the other characters (except kole of course, but she doesn’t get negative media either so she’s more balanced) so i’m just not interested in buying a book which shits on joey for the sake of them

i put this in the tags as well, but i’m really mad about wally west being in it! i love him as much as any other titan and he’s a very important element of TT history, but i thought the entire point of TTEO was to introduce a universe which wasn’t based on the mini justice league - in a world where adult heroes don’t exist - and give a lot of the more sidelined original young heroes a chance! the impulse identity is a perfect addition because it’s an element of the Flash family which flourished totally on its own, but for god’s sake, it belongs to bart!!! 

i’m so tired of wally west swallowing up every aspect of bart allen, from bart ditching his unique hero identity to become kid flash, to writers forgetting how to write him any different than “flirty teenage wally west”, to colourists making his eyes green (and often his hair ginger-brown instead of chocolaty) because they forget he’s not that kid flash, to wally west now outright stealing the identity which set bart apart from the rest of the flash family because someone thought (yet AGAIN) that bart wasn’t good enough. that role was written for bart, especially if cassie is also going to be the token wonder girl instead of donna, and i’m just... so disappointed that what made bart so special has been ripped off and stuck to someone else because they’re more popular. 

i know i said i was only in this run for joey and that’s true, but i’d buy the book in a heartbeat if impulse-bart was in it because he’s my second favourite comic book character (right up next to 90s kon and tim in that beautiful friendship triangle) - like, nice going, DC, that’s two chances for me to hurl my money at your face at 9000mph and you borked both of ‘em. i know it wasn’t written for me specifically to enjoy (it’s not like they’ll miss my money), but i’m really ticked off by how much this reeks of copping out of the “no mini justice league” thing because they want more popular characters for da views, and to get around the world they set up specifically to exclude the classic founding titans they’re throwing really cheap curveballs. 

idk, it just reminds me of how so many people at the start were saying “i don’t care about teen titans without dick grayson” - this was supposed to prove the titans could still work without their classic mini-JLA members, that other characters are just as interesting and have just as much to give as the, frankly, massively-overused-in-all-DC-media usual cast. TTEO feels like it’s done a total flip and is now trying to shoehorn in the characters it purposely excluded, and honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if the bat symbol’s associated character turns out to be dick grayson after all. 

like i said though, i’m going to wait and see how it goes, and if the next volume has anything more appealing to offer then i’ll certainly go back and buy this one! it might well be too early to see where they’re going with all this even if it seems obvious right now, but with so long between volumes and such poor pacing in the first place i think it’s understandable that i don’t want to throw money at this until i’m sure it’s not another Haha Look How Fucked Up Joey Wilson Is Can You Believe They Thought He Was Their Friend fiesta like every other goddamn piece of modern TT media in the known universe.
