Teen Titans Intro - PUFFY

[@11RIHAM]

Raven is really interesting, she has so much potential.

[@spicyalphacrocodle3432]

ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SpurgeonGeneral46]

I would kill for a movie about Raven

[@heinstein2811]

+Ethan G-E When is this happening man?

[@henrysyme3403]

and cyborg and bb

[@henrysyme3403]

afzano cool but i also want one about beast boy too

[@henrysyme3403]

***** whens that coming out

[@justinedwards2373]

Nicki-Minajravan

[@kanna231]

The girl who don't like raven because she's half-demon should really shut her mouth up and don't judge Raven the way she is.

[@sethtacular4668]

Yup true so true

[@briannasmith8976]

Zatanna?😂

[@Pyro-Blossom]

Raven and BB are my fave couple too :)

[@noorwathiq9860]

Yay bbrae forever and ever like their fans I love it tooooo

[@RhapsodyDusk]

Raven just can't catch a break, can she?

[@RhapsodyDusk]

akina norment I never said it was.

[@tjwhitley5284]

What comic book character can?

[@mobydick3769]

Raven's my favorite character of the Teen Titans comic too. And I love her and BB together.

[@worldwideshouldaa4688]

I love this! you tell such well detailed explanation of Raven's past and how she developed, people who aren't comic/dc fans don't know the meaning behind each character & quickly judge saying raven sucks she's a demon she's even. Love how you explain her personality and perspective. of how she is human/demon.

[@alysonrodrigues1492]

I love Raven. I wish I could read these comic books.

[@v.c.nguyen590]

Alyson Rodrigues You can!

[@alysonrodrigues1492]

V.C. Nguyễn I don't have them, unfortunately, and I imagine that some comics would be difficult to find. So, I really can't, right now.

[@v.c.nguyen590]

Alyson Rodrigues That's why you either buy them or you borrow them from the library. The library will most likely have the 2003-2011 series as well as the New 52 stuff. You can buy anything else. DC Comics literally just re-released _The New Teen Titans_ starting last year. That's where Raven debuted in the 1980s. The first two volumes are out and the third will be out this September. Look it up on Amazon. The prices aren't bad. I also highly recommend _Teen Titans: Earth One_. It's set in a different timeline and continuity, so you don't have to read anything else since anything you'll need to know is within that book. Raven is Native American Navajo in it. I think that Navajo Raven might be my favorite Raven so far. If you have some knowledge of DC Comics history, then you could pick up on the little clues and Easter eggs, but knowledge isn't important to have to enjoy the book. Only volume one is out so far. I cannot wait until volume two is out! Good luck getting these titles. I recommend starting with the library if money is an issue.

[@alysonrodrigues1492]

V.C. Nguyễn Thank you for the help, and for the suggestions! Navajo Raven sounds very interesting, and I'm sure I would understand at least some of the Easter eggs. I've always loved the Teen Titans. :)

[@night_opal2182]

me too

[@KellySmith555]

Lol- She's been possessed like 6 times.... I guess it really is super effective if they keep doing it.

[@emmamcconnell6151]

What was the secret that she learned about one of the Titans that made her leave?

[@minarenacida7250]

ikr!

[@emmamcconnell6151]

He never said! >.

[@samanthamclaughlin9651]

BEASTBOY AND RAVEN FOREVER!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for making these videos. I've learned so much. Teen Titans is my favorite thing in the world. I'm obsessed with it. Thank you so much!!!!!!

[@noorwathiq9860]

Yeah like what you say

[@VenezuelanChic96]

I SHIP IT raven

[@1CombustionMan]

Raven can easily become a top tier superhero in the comics. I'm still waiting for an arc where Trigon takes over apokolips. That would be so awesome.

[@jenniferweil7873]

first I was watching the lion king how the hell am I here

[@libertywhitehead7208]

Raven has had some tuff stuff happen, man. Seriously. She was my favorite character bedore, but now I'm just like "definitely the best character." Garfield and Raven forever!!!

[@MKUSecondGeneration2]

YESSS! Raven and Beast boy end up together! I'm so happy! :D

[@RazorRaven619]

Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed the history lesson of one of my favorite characters :) "After this, Raven's story goes through a bit of a weird phase." Dude, I think you just described the poor girl's entire life.

[@madalynnhilyard7867]

I know right! I used to watch these shows but they got rid of them and made a new one!

[@Gill0991]

My love for Raven just leveled up. Awesome vid!

[@SeeMyEvil]

i love beastboy and Raven. thay are so cute togather

[@KennyWins100]

That super effective it's pissing me off

[@rhondamackey2714]

i know

[@TimGetTheMoney]

why oh i thought you were talking about him yeah that super effective its pissing me off

[@jasanicole1024]

I know right

[@arty3090]

I love how well Teen Titans Go captures Raven's character perfectly. *pause* BWAHAHAHAHA!

[@Starlight-Tale]

We do not speak of that show. It is so unfaithful to the show and the original comics that it's embarrassing.

[@arty3090]

You know what would be cool? Cartoon Network had a kiddy-cartoon morning, a cartoon session for teens in the afternoon, and adult swim at night. What if some channel started with a kiddy show (like cartoon network did), got a bit more serious, (like cartoon network did) and then got mature (*ahem* Uncle Grandpa *ahem*) to match the generation matching it? They could pull-in so many people, and it GROWS with the audience. . .

[@Starlight-Tale]

Artemis Martyn That sounds awesome

[@arty3090]

Inferna Blossom And impossible, because nobody in a T.V. studio would ever go for it.

[@Starlight-Tale]

***** Are you being sarcastic too?

[@segar1234]

I always thought Raven was rather cute and a beauty of her own.

[@14omoon]

My head hurts Raven is too complicated...!

[@sharifahmad11]

Same she has gone through a lot of problems

[@dontwatchthat869]

At 8:30 what was the "deep dark" secret Raven found out about one of the team members ?

[@v.c.nguyen590]

jaesirens They have no genitals!

[@sammielee7863]

+jaesirens That one of the new members was a traitor and was working for Deathstroke

[@Starlight-Tale]

Wow, Raven's history is truly fascinating. Also, now that I know how much it's supported in the comics, I ship Raven and Beast Boy harder than ever.

[@noorwathiq9860]

Me tooooooooo and I will go crazy in this romantic and cute couple

[@_korepsyche_]

This video made me fall completely in love with her when I watched it 5 years ago , I grew up watching the show and being drawn to her. I'm just like her in terms of personality and how her life was and I learned a lot from her. Thank you for making this video 🖤🖤🖤

[@ebaronwilliams6051]

More Raven focused videos please!!! Girl needs more love, and you're the absolutely best person to do it. You are epic, keep it up.

[@spiggs6938]

I know you all might hate Teen Titans go, but remember her spell azarath metrion zinthos(or possibly xinthos)? I looked it up Azarath=her home Metrion=Raven's real name(possibly) Zinthos (or Xinthos)= Raven's pet raven's name (possibly) This may not be real, but, just saying

[@ItsSuperEffective]

Azarath Metrion Zinthos was never in the comics, and this show is about comics, not cartoons.

[@spiggs6938]

Sorry, sheesh

[@starlight6196]

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos": Azarath is where Raven came from. Metrion and Zinthos were used because the creators liked the sound of it.

[@martinmolina8259]

+ItsSuperAffective the comics are old those ones is there new ones or do you talk about old ones.

[@amber2372]

***** I remember that spell from the original cartoons. Not Go.

[@isabellec.55]

OMG! Raven is my favorite character and my favorite couple is Beast Boy and Raven!

[@hshi8085]

I loved the episode but dude...seriously the hair..

[@Animationlover17]

I really love Beast Boy and Raven as well, and I really hope they will get together in the New52 and Teen Titans Go and will stay together

[@noorwathiq9860]

The same

[@michiru95]

Yeah, wtf is up with 52. I'm pissed raven and bb aren't together in 52. I'm never gonna read it unless they get together. >:[

[@cuttlefishn.w.2705]

Voldemort went to Raven to learn how to use horcruxes.

[@fs-hr3ei]

Bb and raven are cute together

[@bloodmoonvampire6632]

Can you do a history on Terra the earth girl who betrayed the titans? (Btw I love beast boy and raven together too.)

[@SuperPet221]

Ok you people that don't like the hair need to pipe down you can't take control over how he wants to make his videos.

[@Bag2218]

Brilliant as always. But for future reference: Jericho is pronounced Jare-i-ko, not Ja-reecho and Inertia is ee-ner-sha not Iner-tia

[@davidbice3154]

OMG! Thank you so much for actually knowing something about Raven. I try to talk to people about comic books, and they are all like :Oh, yeah Superman," or "Batman". If I mention the Teen Titans the first thing they remember is Robin, and they barely know anything about Raven!

[@ArenJohnson]

At one point the Titans had to have wondered how many times do they have to kill her for Raven to stay dead. Not saying anything bad about her Raven is one of my favorites. And for Zatara hctib retteb hctaw flesreh

[@JessFromMead]

Love the use of "IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE" to explain "Comic book logic"

[@Tiffany_speaks]

Thanks for the Raven history she's one of my favorite DC ladies.

[@noorwathiq9860]

Me tooooooooo

[@hopingforu2comebac27]

Thanks so much for the video :), Raven is one of my favorite characters in the world! I've only ever watched the Teen Titans show but now i'm very interested in reading the comics since that is where everything started.

[@truepureblue]

Thank you for taking the time to tell the story of Raven. You did a very good job!

[@sutyerator]

I don't exactly know why but BBRae just makes so much sense and I love them.

[@DocMahk]

Your hair makes me sad...

[@robertcraddock4469]

Why? It's a wig! He's a hod carrier by day....

[@TorqueBacklash]

The New 52 is full if hits and misses like most content. While some characters are written out or not touched on, I'm happy Static is still around. I only wish he was around more.

[@amyisaway7800]

I love how she's been through so so much, yet she's still so awesome and sarcastic XD

[@soarspirit5943]

I remember watching this as a child

[@antwonrucker810]

You said the names Jericho and Inertia wrong

[@DanteSolablood]

Thanks a lot for the history lesson, I've liked the character for a while but haven't had much access to the comics. By the way, I noticed the Scott Pilgrim in the background, are those the only 2 you have or do you have the full set? I love Scott Pilgrim!

[@Shewas-kathybates]

Wow I didn't expect the history of raven to be so long. Her story is crazy

[@liciadenovellis6823]

OMG YOU LOVE BBRAE TOO?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and she is ur fav character?!!!!!!!!!!!! we r the same person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@juliagoop6087]

Cool

[@jemdemonbelle2097]

wow, I'd seen your videos floating around the youtubes for months now, but Raven was my favorite titan so i decided to give it a watch. I'm not disappointed. XD subscribing!

[@TheAlCapwner]

It's pronounced "Jehr-ih-koh", not "Jeh-rii-cho".

[@magsbaked960]

Rae BB

[@samueljones621]

Say it ... you KNOW you wanna say it ... 52 is gay ....

[@WolframiteWraith]

Amazing hair dude. That must've taken ages, and how does it not fall out from all the peroxide and such?

[@ItsSuperEffective]

My hair was actually a wig in this video xD I wore it for a lot of my early videos because my hair was so damaged from over using peroxide that a lot of it fell out.

[@WolframiteWraith]

I can't even wear wigs properly. I'd probably need to cut my hair quite a bit. That one looks awesome. Is that blue, purple red thing you've got going on there also a wig or what?

[@ItsSuperEffective]

No, that's my natural hair now. I just grew all of my hair out again so it was all virgin hair, and now I'm more careful with peroxide as I dye it. It's honestly the healthiest it's been in about 6 years.

[@WolframiteWraith]

ItsSuperEffective Did you get it done professionally then? How can you dye your hair like that and keep it healthy? Do you also use anything like gel to shape it? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just curious about it all for myself.

[@ItsSuperEffective]

xD it's cool So to bleach it, I only bleach my roots once every six weeks. That gives it enough time to sort of recover and relax from the previous bleaching. Then the red and the blue is done by using a vegetable dye, which conditions my hair while it's on. Then for the shape I use Gatsby wax from japan, and Got2B hairspray.

[@photonproton5000]

I honestly stayed at the end of the video just to sing the Teen Titans theme song

[@Rhyz-1]

raven so needs her own show

[@covertlyfreud]

This was great! Thanks for making it!

[@meowhisd4546]

I love backstory vids like this. It's very unfortunate that people have weird priorities pertaining with dissing your hair... I'm sorry but otherwise you got a subscriber

[@v.c.nguyen590]

Chelsea Meeker They're not just posting negative things about his hair but about his orientation, too. They're disgusting people.

[@laughinghyena001]

Jericho...he pronounces it "jeh-REE-cho"...I thought it was pronounced "JER-eh-ko" (after the biblical era fortress)

[@Samiam9D3]

Raven is also my favorite! I love her and Beast Boy as a couple, too.

[@HOV2131]

It seems the titans have some of the more convoluted lore cycles.

[@FlamingoKicker]

Isn't the problem that DC (not to mention Marvel) up and erases and reboots their own histories rather often so you can't be sure what "history" is real or what is no longer relevant. Then you have the multiverse concept where you have shows like Young Justice taking place on entirely different versions of "reality" and then Teen Titans Go which seems to be taking place on DC Earth-Kiddies

[@ItsSuperEffective]

Not really ^^;; DC have only rebooted their continuity once, which was for Flashpoint in 2011, they have had events which clean it up, like crisis on infinite earths, but its generally easy to put the pieces together after a crisis event. To give you a frame of reference, crisis on infinite earths happened in 1985, flashpoint was in 2011. That is not often what so ever. Character history, when your focusing on the mainstream DC universe, which is what I do in this show, is easy in terms of following continuity.

[@FlamingoKicker]

But now they have Cyborg being a founding member of the Justice League so how could he have been in Teen Titans all those years?

[@ItsSuperEffective]

That happened after flashpoint though. Just consider Pre-Flashpoint and Post-Flashpoint two different things and it all becomes a lot easier. Before Flashpoint New Earth was the mainstream DC universe, which is what this video largely focuses on, then after Flashpoint Prime-Earth became the main DC universe, in which a number of characters got all new origins. It's honestly not that hard to follow.

[@insane2201]

Well New 52 screwed everything up.

[@lizzunknoen7014]

I love raven and Beast boy! Raven is the best hero ever, I love her story

[@MaggieOAT]

It really proves how nerdy I am when I get excited over Faust being a BB/Rae shipper.

[@pablogouveia3720]

Okay.. Some fans may have asked you remove a wig... If that is your wish to do so, then so be it. Maybe in the other sitiuation these same people remember the fact that it is your show, and then in fact, your rules.... I happen to like your style, so this is just a notice to all the complainers out there!!! More Love!!! .. And up the Irons!!!

[@Hate_Silvia]

could not have said it any better myself

[@laynegreuel2265]

Yea I agree with pablo

[@markwhitney6448]

Well said.

[@YoungJusticeUK]

Thanks for the video! I love raven so much and beast not!

[@YoungJusticeUK]

I meant 'and beast boy!' oops.

[@baeneth]

Hey man loved the vid Raven has always been one of my favorite characters as well and it was nice to learn some history about her. keep on doin what you do

[@nikz200]

thanks for the info, iive been dying to hear about ravens history for a long time

[@abbycarvide723]

But Raven HATES beastboy in the new/old series(but no one watchs it) She had a crush on a goth boy

[@minarenacida7250]

which is disappointing yet understandable since theyre younger

[@abbycarvide723]

Both!!

[@darkangel64593]

I'm not so sure about that. There were a lot of signs that pointed that she did care about him, even if they weren't a cannon couple. I think if the show had gone another season or two, they would have ended up together, just as beast boy dated Terra first in the comics, so too would he date her first in the show before realizing how crazy he is about her.

[@minarenacida7250]

And that makes me even sadder about the fact that it was cancelled so soon! I agree with you.

[@ericgrayson4085]

I always got the impression in the cartoon that she begrudgingly developed a crush on him over time. They never actually realized their feelings, but the fan reception was enough to convince the writers that it should be a thing. It hadn't occured to them before as Raven was too old, matronly, reserved, and Gar was a champion skirt chaser... "champion" here not meaning "successful."

[@tianaduhart19]

these are some cool facts

[@kimmasarah191]

Raven is my favorite of the Teen Titans! Loved her from the beginning! That's cute that she and Beast Boy like each other lol Cause she treats him like an annoying little brother in the show lol She reminds me of me!

[@v.c.nguyen590]

Kimma Sarah "From the beginning"? You loved her since 1980? Wow. That's a long time.

[@kim-toonkhan5047]

raven's colors of her moods

[@ThatWEIRDasianGirl]

Wait.. So what was the dark secret about which member? Or did I miss it.. Never read the comics.. I should.

[@owlflame]

Well... I don't like your wig, but I like the rest of the show. Subscribed.

[@siosword]

see his heir later don't think it a wig

[@owlflame]

siosword I didn't understand any of that sentence.

[@edw2096]

owlflame Perhaps english isn't siosword's first language? I think he meant he saw Faust's hair later and he doesn't think it's a wig.

[@siosword]

ya yes but odd how the guy with troll face pic like to point out the flaw in everyone the Irany but thanks as all ways

[@professorpengu502]

not a wig

[@bandrocks4]

I'm doing a college project on Raven in my superheroes class, so this was super helpful to narrow down the story plot so I can get a good head start and a better understanding. Thank you so much for making this video!

Thank you for the lecture, Professor Faust. I even waited for the theme song to finish XD

[@uchihasaku404]

I honestly love all the background music in these videos amazing vids keep it up love your vids!

[@stevenmoosa9338]

Thanks for this thorough biographical story telling , I like Raven too and she is my favorite character too , I just think that the demise of Trigon is implausible . reviewing his powers he is basically all powerful so he shouldn't have been killed by anyone . Dude , you look cool and you're channel is cool so , subscribe (done) Like (done) , cheers pal

[@suzanneinglis3716]

how many times is raven going to die in this?

[@loveandpeace6903]

[@fireslam6962]

She is my favorite character in the show titans

[@Naddasleepy]

Love the music at the end. Nice touch. As always, you are charming. I do wish you would tell the whole story. I am a Marvel and I am not going to read any DC comic, you can not spoil me.

[@dignerds]

I love these vids as well...... I'm DC ..but I have to say, both dc and marvel have such rich stories and characters.....my marvel favs are..she- hulk...spidey....Thor..professor X....... love your profile pic.

[@enragedyeoomon268]

Dude you are awesome..or you have too much free time xD

[@ElvisDolinski]

first time on your channel, love it man keep it up

[@InkHeart17]

That's a lot to keep track of. Well done. Thanks for the info.

[@BankaiIchigo12345]

So in the Teen Titans TV cartoon, what part of Raven's history does that represent?

[@ItsSuperEffective]

It doesn't. The Cartoon is loosely base off the 1985 Teen Titans series, but at the end of the days its its own thing.

[@wolflesschild]

So what you're saying is that the cartoon isn't canon? Also, if it is, I'm assuming it'd have to be before the Titans had to kill her the first time.

[@ItsSuperEffective]

The Cartoon isnt canon at all, its an adaptation meaning while its similar, it largely does its own thing.

[@hwji0]

The cartoon is her history up to where Trigon comes to Earth through Raven and the teen titans defeat him. Raven also dies when Trigon enters Earth, but she gets reanimated ( i think that the right word?) through giving a piece of her powers to each teen titan member before she dies and when Robin (Nightwing) finds her she has a white robe instead of a blue robe. please correct me if i missed anything or i have got anything wrong, I am not a comic book reader.

[@UltimateDude10]

Daniel McDonald Well she just disappeared and was turned into a child

[@vanitasdarkness8795]

robin was the best character in the show for me at less.

[@Rikeilan]

me too ^^

[@vanitasdarkness8795]

he is so badass ^^

[@AnimeGameFan5]

Vanitas Darkness he? lol

[@Rikeilan]

Vanitas Darkness Ok, yea, no... He is just a kid that was trained by Batman... That is why he seem badass. And he might be when he has to. Other wise, no...

[@vanitasdarkness8795]

yea he is for one he beat all the other titian at the same time and he is a great detective and was able to beat slade by himself and may of the other villains and with out him the teen titian would always because he is the strategist of the team too, so over all he is a badass.

[@Ginta1996]

Through the whole Teen Titans Cartoon Network series, i knew that Raven & Beast Boy had some kind of unspoken love ;) or maybe it was more a hopeful thing :L

[@josephmejia2416]

i agree with abby bye raven is the best character and there should be a movie about her and her back round
