  • Just saw the stills for the new Teen Titans Go

    So I just saw the stills for the new Teen Titans go looks like they made it using microsoft paint. In any case with Clone Wars ending, Why not make DC nation a 2 time block and keep Young Justice and GL, while also adding Batman and Teen Titans. Young Justice and GL are good shows. i like how GL is introducing characters that are currently in the comics.

    Not just a cute cartoon "for kids". The fans of this show are generally a bit older, mostly teenagers and adults. I still watch this show with my 7-year-old brother and he loves the show as wel. The writing is superb. It's a shame this show, along with Young Justice, don't get any advertisement from Cartoon Network besides a brief mentioning on their Facebook from time to time. It's a great show, with loveable relatable characters and you should watch it.moreless
  • Why Must the Good Die Young?

    Just when I was really getting into this series, is when I find out that it's being canceled. Sigh, I wish Cartoon Network would learn; didn't we go through something similar with the Teen Titans? Anyway, since it premiered I had actually been tuning in on most Saturdays to see each new episode - even though my understanding was a little confusing from missing several episodes, my interest grew and I just had to watch more, from the beginning (thank you internet): and then I was hooked.



    Personally, it seems like they are also trying to market this show not only to older audiences but also to females - as shown by all of the blossoming romance. It certainly helped me get into it. That's quite smart of them, there is much power in the fangirl population. ;)



    I also liked the plot design - it was simple, and yet kept you yearning for more and somehow always found a continuation. (Reminds me of Death Note in a way - the plot design that is - but less complicated) The problem with constantly twisting plots and stories is that (I have a short attention span, and a tendency to miss showings) it confuses me (unless I'm Very into it) and I lose interest; that's actually what happened to me with Young Justice. So I was actually grateful for this simple, yet exciting plot.



    It's such a shame to see this show go. The only hope I have is that Cartoon Network somehow sees that This is what the fans want and will bring it back. (I Hope You're Reading This Cartoon Network Fan-Information Gatherers!)



    But at the very least, I hope the show goes out with a Bang, a spectacular ending to a spectacular series (can't wait to get the dvd).moreless
  • Do not stop great art

    9.0
    The show is great. It goes beyond a simple cartoon. It has characters that take time to change, they don't have epiphanies that change their personality. Also, the show left little cookie crumbles that all glued together with the Red Lantern story arc. It was a nice touch and a sign that the show is for adults.

    I really believe that poor scheduling, putting them on Saturday mornings, is what led to this situation.

    People should save this show, because poor timing should not stand in the way of art.moreless
