I love that (though I believe that they only did it to avoid censors) he is just called “Slade” instead of “Deathstroke”. Rather than some over the top villain from the cartoon, he realistically felt like another adult. As a kid, you will naturally have some adults you feel is oppressing you in some way like a teacher or parent. “Slade” taps into that fear in all the best ways to make him a compelling villain.

[@theotherjared9824]

The reason why deathstroke waged war on the teen titans in the comics was that his son joined their team and was later killed in battle. He blamed the team for his son's own decision and vowed to make them pay. The show changed his origin to being a random psychopath that just wanted to torment the team, which is scarier since he has no real motive and therefore can't be understood or related to.

[@2097Pyros]

IIRC, Deathstroke got involved with the Titans because his older son, the first Ravager, failed to kill the Titans. But yeah, Jericho being killed in the line of duty REALLY made the beef personal. Moreso because he's the one that had to kill Jericho, after the boy had been possessed.

[@joekerr1607]

That's the thing, from his first appearance we are shown Slade is fully capable of killing all the titans. But he doesn't. And you have to wonder why. There's the robin thing sure but I think he was trying to groom all of them through robin to control the future of the superhero world

[@endearinglyconfused3589]

Not even to mention the fact that (due to parental guidelines and network "child friendly" ratings) he goes the entire series *bare handed*. No swords, guns, nothing other than his hands. And it works. If anything it makes him scarier. It's honestly deeply disturbing to imagine Slade in a scene letting out a sigh and then pulling out a sword, because you *know* he's done holding back now

[@radiantduality8366]

I just noticed something about the PTSD episode! In the beginning, when Robin first sees PTSD Slade, the rain isn’t touching him but it’s pouring on Robin. Because he’s not real.

[@2097Pyros]

The animators/writers had everything down to a science, even their ability to hide which Robin they were using. Even the things that would be the most blatant towards it being Dick Grayson, specifically using Nightwing and the circus scene, get muddled when you add in important context. Nightwing only shows up in an episode that's not just about time travel, but screwing destiny. While Robin thinks that "Nightwing" is pretty cool, there's no guarantee that he takes that up. The latter's one that avid readers would notice....the perspective of the scene of the Graysons falling to their death is from the floor. While Dick might have been on the ground when that happened, So was Tim Drake, who was in the audience that night.

[@TheCursedProsecutor]

The confrontation between Beast Boy and Slade over Terra the first time had some unsettling implications from his dialogue. BB - "What did you do to her!" Slade - "Nothing she didn't want me to". Little reference for people who knew other versions of Deathstroke. Also that one animation on newgrounds where they take straight cuts from the show change the outcome of that scene with no changes to the dialogue. You know the one.

This show made Deathstroke my favorite DC character of all time. I mean what's cooler than a martial-arts trained, super-soldier, tactician, assassin, and criminal mastermind with an eyepatch who single-handedly beats and psychologically scars an entire team of super-heroes.

[@Jamieandbalto]

Fun fact: the entire terra arc, robin's psychological torment, and slade working with trigon is foreshadowed in Robin's nightmare, in the nightmare when Robin begins attacking and slade dodges to the side his eye glows orange and drags a fire trail for a moment, the stone faces and robin destroying everything is foreshadowing for terra causing the titans to collapse in on themselves and it's technically Robin's fault for telling her he could tell she couldn't control her powers, if he hadn't said that she wouldn't have run off to slade, and finally robin taking off slade's mask foreshadows the mask episode and robin seeing his own face behind the mask represents how in the mask episode it was all in his head

[@jordyplaysgamesAUTISMYEET]

Rebelling against trigon is a reference to slade, in the comics called Deathstroke, was revived with the Lazarus pit. In this canon he trains under the league of assassin's, whoch is definitely post crisis era content for sure as before that he never met RAs al'goul. The thing about Deathstroke in the comics is he does the titans and teen Titans dirty a few times, for example he uses the white Wally west from the original timeline, who yes did survive crisis on infinite earths without getting retconned, just like green lantern killowog, and Darkseid. Deathstroke stole Wally's speedforce power for a bit, and during the event he even quits. If your wondering Slade's son dies and the Titans were involved, that's the comic books angle on things for Deathstroke

[@jordyplaysgamesAUTISMYEET]

Fun fact, predator could possibly take Slade out. My reasoning for this is that batman fought a predator once (the comic won the comic book version of a Grammy) and it nearly took him out. In fact it's weapons were described as faster than Batman's beyond the speed of sound batarangs throws, while being silent, and said predator was also seen breaking thru steel walls, a feat which bane sometimes is depicted not being able to do

Where Nux is basically trolling people in ways that makes people (friends included) scared of him, where Slade basically does it in a way that it brings, PURE, bone-chilling fear into EVERYONE that meets him. Slade is basically everything Nux WISHES he could be. (Just not in a murderous way...)

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

Did you know that apparently they had plans to have Slade waltz into the Brotherhood of Evil and take over their whole operation to show how it's really done since they were going to have a string of losses. You know, before Season 5 got cut in half. That is insane. You take the most professional and seasoned group of villains from the entire show, and metaphorically dunk on the lot of them. So he can really traumatize Beast Boy, like the stuff with Terra was an appetizer. Then they were going to have Slade take shots at both Starfire and Cyborg in the following seasons.

[@mrpandasian8871]

Ayo cj is actually just hilarious man 🤣🤣

[@yogsothoth915]
