Hey guys, just something I wanted to get off my chest, I've seen people post left and right about how some people would want to have Teen Titans GO! Continue on if it gets to it's Sixth Season or just end it right where it stands or let the fifth season be the final season as it was for the OG Teen Titans, this is strictly my opinion, if you like Teen Titans GO! That's good, maybe we can get the old show back someday, but these are my feelings on the entire two shows.
1. Memories.
This is something I've thought about for a long time, the OG Teen Titans really keeps the memories flowing, making me go back to the original and rewatch the series all over again, it's that good, who could forget the episode where Robin goes on his journey while Starfire gets depressed because she misses Robin and BB convinces her to try on his (Robin's outfit.) Pretty soon Cyborg and Raven find out and joins in (Despite Raven not really being interested, till at the end.), or the time when there was a Kitten and Starfire Cat fight over Robin, because Starfire got jealous over Robin going out with Kitten when he didn't really want to (He even admits this to Star before talking to Killer Moth and Kitten.), And let's not forget the Judas Contract episode "Aftershock Parts 1 & 2." I have to admit that I felt for Beast Boy in that episode because it hurt to find out that Tara betrayed not only the titans, but himself as well, just to name a few episodes, and I'm sure there's more that I can remember.
For Teen Titans GO!, I have to admit that the show is funny, I already have just one DVD of the show, but in all honesty, I can't quite remember anything from the show anything that's remotely memorable, only thing I found memorable with Teen Titans GO! Was Rose Wilson's first appearance, where Robin would always say his battle cry only for the five to be stopped by Rose's retort. "Go? More like Titans GO! Away." Which confused the five members, I have to say that I'm pretty much disappointed with this series for a long run, you had me when you said that the original voice actors reprise their roles and I actually got excited for this thing, thinking that this would be based on the Comic's of the same time and same animation of the original Titans.
2. The Morals.
Now, this is a bigger reason why I like the original Teen Titans more than I like Teen Titans GO! I have to admit that I don't hate the show, however I do hate the messages that it gives to kids that can be viewed as Negative, first let's look at Teen Titans
Troq: I have to say that my relationship with this episode is really mixed, but it does give out a good message at the end and I'll explain why before people say. "So, you're saying that it's okay to call people names? Is that the moral you're talking about??" With this episode of Teen Titans, no, because in the episode, they meet an alien that see's Cyborg, Beast Boy, Robin and Raven as heroes and strong ones at that, hence why he actually respects them, but one look at STarfire and he gives her a name that she claims it means nothing.
"But Lucky, Cyborg called Starfire a Troq." Yes, he did, he did call StarFire that, but in his own words he didn't quite understand why Starfire would get upset if Troq didn't mean anything, the word Troq meant that she and her people were nothing, she explains that it was an insult her and her people that every planet deemed worthless or nothing, it was then that Cyborg felt bad for what he said, and they told Robin who respected Val Yor the name that he gave Star and his respect for Val Yor went down, cause he cared about StarFire.
The reason I like this episode's climax is that despite Val Yor's protests about Starfire, she was willing to show him that she's just as awesome as her team, and they all wanted him to show some respect for Starfire, there's tons of episodes with this kind of message, Raven facing off against her father can be viewed as a daughter who was abused as she states what a REAL father is to their child as she sends blasts at him.
With TTG, where can I begin? That is the question with this series, as stated above, I can imagine the scene I just talked about being in reverse, where the Titans would make fun of Starfire along with Val Yor, there's so many negative messages on the show that can warp a child's brain, Greed is good, it's okay to lie and get away with it, sharing isn't caring, the list goes on and on, with this series, especially the episodes where Robin and sometimes the other titans will shake their butts on the camera, I've seen videos on YouTube where kids imitate the dance.
And that's it for me, but please keep in mind that this is just my opinion.
