I was surprised we didn't have a thread for Teen Titans, so I made one. We can discuss the 2003 cartoon, Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, and the comic continuation series Teen Titans Go!(not to be confused with the tv show of the same name).

I need to check to see if I ever actually finished the first season!

I really need to get around to reading the comics. They seem like the closest thing to a sequel/new season fans will get.

Yeah, I remember before the show started, I tried all the online activities just to figure out what the heck it was all about, like the Flash fighting game. It could be pretty good but pretty crazy too!

I remember that flash game. Was not good at it at all.

I remember the Battle Blitz game too.

I'd play it every week until the show debuted.

What were some of the other things on there? I remember Raven did a thing where she would pretend to read your mind to remove one of five playing cards you selected, only I had heard of this trick before and my memory was too good so I noticed that she simply replaced five cards with four completely different cards.

I remember their being a chibi game where you'd play Micro-game like minigames.

[up]I think I played that one. That was way back when the show first started.

Ah, good, I need something get my mind off that horrible new series they made.

Just out of curiosity, how was the comic book continuation? Never could get my hand on more than one of two scans.

@qt: He means the comic based on the 2003 show called Teen Titans Go that was before the new series, which hued closer in tone to the actual show (and even sorta functioned as what the new show wasn't: another season).

Unless you're calling that series garbage. I wouldn't know how good it was, due to barely seeing it.

Like a lot of DC's animation tie-in comics, the tie-in series averaged at about average and sometimes managed to be a lot better than the show it was based off of.

I read a few scattered issues of the comic. Was kinda loose in its continuity (and also jumped around the timeline—I remember reading one story with Terra and thinking, "But isn't she supposed to be dead?") and at times Denser and Wackier than even the wackiest episodes of the show (e.g. an entire issue devoted to their chibi caricatures taking on a life of their own and them interacting with them), but it was decent enough, worth a read if you've got nothing better to do.

Also I TOTALLY REMEMBER THAT FLASH GAME, I actually played it a lot when the show first came out.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I got the trade first two trade paperbacks, which I believe collected the first ten issues. I wasn't impressed. I thought the artwork was subpar, and it felt like it was written for grade schoolers. In fairness, that was long before the series started delving into the characters backstories, as well as using characters the show hadn't, and I'm pretty sure that's what people think about when they're praising the series.

I do enjoy the original Teen Titans, and the Trouble in Tokyo TV Movie, but I actually ended up getting a kick out of Teen Titans Go(you can kill me now)

Okay? No one has a problem with you liking Teen Titans Go the cartoon, but maybe you'll have a better chance to discuss it with fellow fans in the Teen Titans Go thread.

Now, now. We shouldn't have it such that people can't even mention Teen Titans Go.

Were did I say that? No one is going to stop anyone from discussing it here, I just don't think it was necessary to assume we'd have an issue with it.

I also don't see how suggesting he visit the second Teen Titans Go thread is the same as saying to never speak about it here.

It's not an unreasonable assumption, given the immediate response to "I like Teen Titans Go" being "that's nice. Go to the Teen Titans Go thread."

That's indeed a fair assumption to make, just understand that wasn't my intention.
