Discussion DethroningMoment / TeenTitansGo

I feel Spidey Terry's entry is a little factually wrong. They linked Batman TAS, Superman TAS and Justice League as "cartoons aimed at kids that knew when to be serious", even though those shows were more serious than Teen Titans, which was always aimed at a younger audience.

• libergal101: I hated

I'll move this here in case the user in question wishes to complete her entry. I actually look forward to seeing the whole thing.

• Wkenneth334: I'm changing my entry again from Some of their parts to "Two Partner. The episode is, as you can guess, a two-parter. The first part has Robin obnoxiously stating that this episode is going to be "special" as if we couldn't figure that out for ourselves. The plot just has them borrowing the Hall of Justice's pool because Cyborg accidentally broke theirs, then Cyborg reveals that he always wanted to be a member. In response, the other Titans leave Cyborg at the door and play Ding Dong Ditch. The League isn't home, so they go inside and after a bit of filler, end up donning superhero costumes to fool a guard robot. The second part has them getting ready to face Darkseid, who's taken the Justice League hostage. After even MORE filler, they get to Apokolips, and they find out that Darkseid not only sounds gravelly due to a cold, but his real voice is Weird Al Yankovic. Before you could even question how the hell they got Weird Al in this show, Cyborg beats him after an (as usual) underwhelming fight scene, thus giving Weird Al only a few minutes of actual dialogue, and none of his singing. In fact, they just reference the fact that he does. Then they fail to keep Martian Manhunter from dying, and Cyborg suddenly figures he has the power to reverse Apokolips' rotation like Superman and turn back time, so they decide to try and use that opportunity to save the Justice League, but instead treat them to some "hilarious" filler where the Justice League keeps on dying. After numerous attempts, they just leave the Justice League on Apokolips for later. Some of the worst cases of Designated Hero i've ever seen.

This is literally just my old entry for "Two Parter" with Wkenneth334's last sentence from his original entry for "Some of Their Parts" thrown in. I don't know how I should feel about this; on one hand, I'm glad someone agrees? And I'm happy Two Parter got another entry. On the other hand, I was kinda hoping for an entry discussing THEIR opinion, not just mine.

Guys? I have a dilemma. I want to keep my entry for "Two-Parter" up, because I still find that to be a horrible waste of animation, but now I have a new hated episode in "Squash and Stretch". However, the rules prevent me from including a new entry. Should I keep my old entry and wait for someone else to post one for "Squash and Stretch", or replace mine and wait for someone else to include "Two-Parter"?

One moment per troper.

• Tropers/jmac9345: I think I might have to agree with TheMysteriousMrEnter here. I find it funny that the Teen Titans Go writers think that "smart comedy" isn't worth writing, and instead decide to write the most obnoxious songs ever written. What's even more strange is that the In-Universe characters think that this is annoying as fluff, so for the love of VeggieTales, why did they stoop so low if they know it's incredibly stupid. Plenty of kids shows have done plenty of hilarious and even sometimes clever things. I get that it's for kids, but give them something that'll last and they'll love for at least a while, not this junk food for the mind.

• jmac9345: To be honest, I actually don’t hate Teen Titans Go! I mean I dislike it, but there are some aspects I like about it. The art style, while not as stylized as the original, works for this kind of show, the voice acting is just as good as the original (even if the characters themselves are another story), and occasionally (but not regularly) the show can be kind of funny. I’m not a fan of the show, and every single show currently on Cartoon Network is better, but there can be much worse. But alas, there will be people defending at least season 1 of the show. But even the earlier episodes are not without flaws, and in my opinion “Pie Bros” is the biggest example of this. Before “Staring At The Future” ruined the original show's “How Long is Forever?”, we had this episode to show how Beast Boy and Cyborg have become the idotic jackasses we know and love. Not only that there’s Squick, implications of animal abuse and the ending. Beast Boy and Cyborg reunite after Beasty works his butt off trying to afford a gift for Cyborg, and the other three titans are implied to be baked into a pie. While it does try to be a Heartwarming Moment, what ruins it is how oblivious Beast Boy and Cyborg are to the other situation at hand. Still, to avoid Negative Continuity I guess (but really, when does Teen Titans Go! ever keep continuity going by episodes like “Let’s Get Serious”? Robin, Raven, and Starfire are not actually cooked, just their hair and clothing but still.

• Redaka: Previously, I wouldn't have called myself the biggest fan of the original Teen Titans nor would I call myself the biggest hater of ''Teen Titans Go!" I didn't like it but I just thought of it as a spin off and nothing more. But when "Let's Get Serious" and even worse "The Return of Slade" came around, that's when I actively started to loathe this show because of the creators immature responses to criticism. "Let's Get Serious" was purposely designed to mock the people upset about Young Justice being canceled rather than actually prove a point and "Return of Slade" was a ratings trap just to piss off purist fans of the original show. Also, I find it funny how they have the nerve to make fun of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic in "Return of Slade" (though I hear they do it often) when that show is not only more popular and successful than theirs but is also enjoyed by a wide demographic, shattering their views that cartoons are only for kids
