"Bad"

By macabre190788, Jun 07, 2011 Report Abuse

The only episode this season written by David Slack, and it's the origin of the Teen Titans team, their first mission. So, high expectations. What went wrong? Just about everything. Why wasn't the japanese Teen Titans song used in the intro? Beacuse this is comedy, bad comedy. Okay Mr. Slack just because you have Starfire and Robin kiss, Cyborg saying "Booyah" for the first time and a cool Batman reference, you expect me to give this a pass? Sorry, not gonna happen. That's right, this is all fanservice in search of coherence, and it never finds it. It seems lazy. The show has gone against character for laughs and jokes previously, but this is just ridicilous. Starfire is aggresive and rude until the end, okay, I can understand, she is on a strange planet, she doesn't know if the humans are friendly, so she starts punching stuff to get her "handcuffs" off, despite endangering them. She destroys much of the city, but it's okay because she's hot, and hot chicks can do whatever they want without consequences, right? Sorry about that brief moment of lame sarcasm.

The kiss everybody seemingly has been waiting for, is not only unsatisfying, ludicrous and out of nowhere, it's an obvious moment where the writer just adds it and imagines the fans being overjoyed, just beacuse they kiss. No, "Trouble in Tokyo" got it right, with build up and the right mood and music. You mean to tell me they kiss the first time they meet and never talk about, or even mention it until "Trouble in Tokyo"? Of course it's just a way for Starfire to learn a foreign language, but it's not explained here. Wonder who Blackfire kissed to learn english?

Raven was completely out of character, she joins the Titans, despite feeling insecure and saying she's dangerous. Then at the end she goes "get away from my friends", what? "Friends"? Since when, just by hanging around them for a little while. Even worse she calls Beast Boy funny in the end, of course she does this and laughs at a comment that clearly wasn't funny in the slightest.

The episode is just so unbelievably boring, save for the fight between Starfire and Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy. I'm shocked frankly, and I know this is a popular episode amongst most TT fans, I don't get it. I didn't like it, it's one of the worst episodes in the series, and I know if you're reading this, chances are you disagree completely, but you know, that's fine, I respect your opinion completely. I on the other hand disliked this episode. Really disliked.moreless

"Perfect"

By TitanFan1, Jan 02, 2011 Report Abuse

The episode starts with the Gordanians in a spaceship and an ailen named Starfire is held captive. She escapes and overthrows the Gordanians. She flies to Earth and meanwhile, in Jump City, a crook is running before the cops could get him and Robin comes and stops him. Robin gets the attention of Starfire in the sky and then ties the crook up. He then goes and by the pizza shop, Starfire has landed on Earth. She then starts attacking the city and Robin stops her. They fight while Raven is watching and a green kid called Beast Boy comes and helps Robin stop her. They fight and a guy named Cyborg comes and helps them. They decide to fight but a big black shield comes up and blocks their attack. Then, a teenage goth girl named Raven comes and says fighting is no the answer. Robin helps Starfire get the cuffs off and Starfire is pleased. Then, Starfire kisses Robin and she starts speaking English. Robin thanks the teens for helping him and they decide to leave. Beast Boy wants leave with each of them but ends up following Cyborg. He takes his hood off and reveals his face. Beast Boy thinks it is cool and then Cyborg leaves. But all four Titans discover ailens are after Starfire. They team up and Raven is left behind. Robin wonders why and she says if they knew what she really was, they wouldn't want her around. Robin says he heard enough and she smiles back to him. They try to find her and they finally discover where she is. They find her eating candy bars and she discovers that the other teenagers are her friends. The Gordanians come and the Titans go into battle. Cyborg's suit is destroyed and it reveals Cyborg's true self. Raven stops them and they all decide to flee. Beast Boy says Cyborg is cool and Cyborg tells him that he is taking advice from a kid with a goofy mask. Beast Boy says it is cool and he asks Raven for her opinion and she said it is not cool. He takes it off and Beast Boy is like this for the rest of the series except in "Homecoming (Pt. 2)". Starfire says thanks and Trogarr gives a message to Earth that their city would be destoryed. The team gets into a fight and Raven breaks it up be screaming quiet. They look at her and she waves her hand and says hi. They go into the ailen's spaceship and Raven has transported them into there. Beast Boy thinks it is creepy and Robin says they have to get to the controls and Raven is again left behind. Cyborg talks to her and she said she is different. He says Beast Boy is green, Starfire is an ailen, and he is half metal and he says Raven fits in just fine. Robin apolgizes to Starfire and he tells her that Earth is different. Beast Boy tells them that they know they are there and they go into battle. Meanwhile, Trogarr is about to prepare the attack on their city and he said five heroes can't stop him. Robin says that they are one team. They go into battle and Trogarr is about to attack the Titans until Raven ays get away from my friends. She then chants Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. It knocks out all of the Gordanians out except for Trogarr and he is about to attack Raven and Beast Boy but Cyborg shoots his new sonic cannon at Trogarr and knocks him out. The Titans are standing on the island and Raven says it is quite a view. Beast Boy makes a joke and Raven laughs. he says he knows some jokes and Raven doesn't really like the fact that he knows jokes. Starfire comes with a new costume and she reveals her name to the Titans which is Starfire. Robin welcomes her to Earth and she is happy. Robin says Cyborg and him designed the communicators that he gives them. Then, Robin says when there's trouble, you know who to call. Overall, one of the best episodes of the whole series.moreless

"Poor"

By frosty666silver, Jan 02, 2011 Report Abuse

I was very disappointed with this episode. I think there is just not enough story in it.

All episodes explaining how a series starts are and should be very special, and in this case, when five heroes unite, logical and interesting reasoning would be especially needed and yet most of the episode is pure bashing. Sure, Starfire has a story, but the rest of the Titans just happen to be around and even though most of them - except Beast boy - are not really likely to team up with anyone - they just seem to join forces like "why the heck not?" The worst was how they decided to build the tower in the end. I felt that could be it's own parody.

The episode of how the Teen Titans were formed would be a great possibility to show more of the heroes' personal story, yet all we get are some hidden references. This story should be something much larger, lasting through more episodes even, but I think the writers just wanted to do it easy.moreless

What was that all about???

"None"

By WWE14, Apr 20, 2010 Report Abuse

There are few good points in this episode and way to many bad things.

What was suposed to be an orgin episode was a bunch of crap. Let's see..

Beastboy- already knew he was from Doom Patrool

Robin- sucked. Was suposed to find out new things, all we found out was that he was Batman's sidekick. Wait just a second... didn't we allready know that???

Cyborg- didn't find out anything.

Raven- you'd think they would at least remind us that she was from Atherath, but once again, they didn't say that or anything new.

Starfire- FINILLY!!!We find out something new. One of the good points in this episode, so at least they tell us where she came from.

As you can see, telling us that it was an orgin episode was BS.

Also, way to short of an episode. If they really wanted to put effort into that episode, they should of made it a three part episode.

I'm assuming that Raven didn't have many friends. So, 5 minutes after She meets them, she names them her friends. Her judgement sucks, as far as she knows, they could have helped Starfire and then killed her. She was WAY out of character.

And finially, If you look at most of the reviews, you will see that they all have the same best part, Starfire and Robin kissed. BIG DEAL, they kissed, I guess world peace will have to be declared now. I'm sure that whenever I go into a forum, all I'm going to hear is that they kissed. Well people, let me ask you a question, was that before or after she tried to kicked the car at Robin?!?! Not very romantic. Also, don't you think that they should have save that for something like the last episode? Anyway's, I'm tired of Robin and Starfire episodes. The R/S fans are getting to the writers mind, and that's bad

Overall, the episode sucked. I had very high expections for this episode before I saw it, then through the whole episode, I was asking myself WTF was going on. It had to be one of the worst episode ever, and that is comming from a big Teen Titans fan. This one was a downfall for the Teen Titans show.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- After Starfire launches a city bus at Robin during their initial fight, he comments, "Hmm. Stronger than she looks." This is similar to what Starfire says of herself to Cinderblock in the first episode, "Divide and Conquer."
  Edit
- After Robin says "Come on, we've got a city to save," and the scene moves to the Gordanian ship, when you see some flashing green and red piping listen closely. There are two soundbytes of the Whale Probe from the fourth Star Trek movie "The Voyage Home." Edit
- After kissing Robin, you can see Starfire smiling a little while flying away. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Robin's voice is deeper. Edit
- According to Teen Titans Go #46: Starfire is slave to the Gordanians because Blackfire turned her over as a peace treaty. In exchange, Tamaran was safe from the invasion. Edit
- According to Teen Titans Go #45: The reason Cyborg was on his own was due to resentment towards his parents (They applied the cybernetic attachments towards him for his survival). The panel of the issue led up to Cyborg's first scene in the episode. Edit

- Starfire: I thank you all for your bravery and help and I would like to ask to stay here, where the people are strange but also most kind. (Talking about Earth) Edit
- (Cyborg blasts Trogaar) Cyborg: I'm only gonna say this once: Boo-yah! Edit
- Starfire: Nice... we do not have this word on my planet. Closest is "rutha." Weak. Cyborg: Well, around here, "nice" means "nice." And if you want us to keep being nice, you better tell us why the lizard king took you prisoner. Starfire: Not "prisoner." I am "prize." The Gordanians deliver me to the Citadel to be their servant. Raven: The Citadel... they are... Starfire: Not nice. Edit

- Raven: If you knew who I am... When Raven is asked whether she is going with the group, she replies that if they knew who she was, they wouldn't want her to be near them. This is a reference to the season 4 story arc. Edit
- Robin: (Ambushing the criminal by swinging through a swarm of bats) Definite reference to Batman. Edit
- Cyborg: All right, I'm only gonna say this once: "Boo-yah." This would become Cyborg's regular victory cry. Edit
