did you know a very decent amount of the views on the show come from the haters who just want to watch it to make fun of it online? if everyone who hates the show stopped watching it a very decent chunk of viewers would be missing and that would in turn cause CN to air it less. if you want it to air less stop watching it.

Teen Titans was also a show for kids, but it was able to do so much more than Teen Titans Go. It didn't speak down to its audience and it was able to handle heavy topics and make it understandable for kids. It talked about friends drifting apart, abusive relationships, and even handled racism in an episode and to see such a great show become THIS just breaks my heart.

Teen Titans was a story. It dealt with complex issues with well written characters and an intriguing narrative Teen Titans Go is jingling keys in front of your kids face I understand it's a kids show (hell, so was the OG Teen Titans), but it ticks me off because it shows the attitude studios have towards kids. Avatar was a kid's show too, and it still treated kids like they were smarter than farts and meta humor. I honestly dig the idea of "what do superheros do in their time not superheroing", but to take beloved characters from a franchise so adored and turn them into idiots, you could've just created new characters to put in this show and had the same thing.

I definitely agree with the ultimate conclusion: Teen Titans Go wouldn't be NEARLY as bad if it was its own show with its own characters and NOT a "remake" of an older show with a different genre and more nuanced storytelling. If its characters were unique to it, it would be fine. Because they're not, it feels like it's shitting all over the original.

[@Doc-Holliday1851]

As a fan of the original, Teen Titans GO seemed like a cash grab. They took characters that already had a loyal fan base and used that fact to market a brand new show that wasn't just unlike the original but spat in the face of the fans. It seems to be the MO for studios now. Take a well known IP, use the existing fan base to build it up, distort the IP until it is unrecognizable, then blame the fans when the new version gets rightfully lampooned.

TTG didn't ruin my childhood, because thankfully I have memories of how amazing the original Teen Titans was. I just feel bad for the little kids who grew up thinking TTG was an accurate representation of the comics; especially nowadays when comic book movies are trending more toward darker or at least more complex storylines. Imagine going from "tee hee, WAFFLES!!" to "Jason Todd took a crowbar to the dome , Batman's parents were shot in front of him, Iron Man was an alcoholic/is dying/died to save humanity, and Superman is an orphan whose planet blew up." At least WE had TT to ease us into the harsh stuff. Kids who grew up on TTG were thrown into the deep end without a floatie.

Here's something almost nobody brings up. Original _Teen Titans_ : *TV-Y7* _Teen Titans Go_ : *TV-PG* So, by that logic, and definition, TTG should have been more mature (right on par with _Adventure Time_ and _Steven Universe_ ). It's kind of ironic how the original show (made for 7-year-olds) is much more adult compared to the current show (made for a slightly older audience).

[@g.b.f9859]

You are conflating "failing at maturity" with "not trying to be mature." By which I could then argue, the original Teen Titans is terrible because it was too mature for its intended audience,. Each show was aiming for a different tone and as Doug said, a different ratio of serious/silly.

[@MyAbridged]

One of the biggest problems with this video is that it entirely ignores one of the biggest issues with TTG, which is how the network treats it. TTG is pretty much the single most promoted show they've done in years. This would be annoying if it was just merchandise and idents and such, but it'd be something that could be easily ignored. But with TTG there's literally cases of it being practically the only show on for days at a time. I'm not trying to exaggerate here, TVTropes has it's own page for TTG in the 'Adored by the Network' trope, which lists examples of this, with up to fourteen straight hours of TTG, and cases of up to six straight hours of the same single episode. Now, I haven't been watching for a while, but admittedly it does seem better than it was (TVTropes talks about it being more like five hour blocks now, which is still a lot, but not as bad as nine hour blocks), but that kind of thing cannot help but have an impact. Especially in the beginning where beloved shows like Young Justice were being bumped off for something as vapid as TTG. Combine this with a lot of the meta humour mentioned in the video being very meanspirited early on in the show's run and it's hardly a surprise that people would end up absolutely loathing this, since it comes across as a big middle finger from both the network and showrunners.

[@molamola542]

I mean... I don't think how the network treats the show should affect the comparison between the two

[@dawk7]

I think he's talking about the part where Doug finds it odd that the old fans still seem to even care about said show- because it's true, if you dislike something, just ignore it completely. The issue is, if you still have a certain love for cartoons and continue to keep track with them, TTGo isn't really something you can avoid, when one of the big networks is absolutely shoving it onto people's faces. It's a matter of The-Elephant-In-The-Room, it's not just some new show-up to be quietly disappointed on until it fades. Honestly... what can be said? TTGo is an okay show, with good writing. It's simple for sure, but kids don't care about the depth of a show until they start to grow up along with it. No, the thing is that for this case, and simply by the design they have chosen, TTGo is going to inevitably disrespect the source material it's taking as inspiration. With extra "merit" given to the _very_ mean-spirited meta humor used in the beginning of its run-time, in the end... the burn from that way they have treated the old love fans had, it ends up going quite deep. Mix those two paragraphs together, and you have this kind of situation.

[@NinjaGidget]

I'll tell ya what could be worse: if the original show ended without resolving a major plot point that was not only an engaging mystery, but an emotional pillar of the final season. Good thing that sort of travesty never occurred... twice...

it is irrelevant how CN treats it. that doesn't effect the shows quality itself. and they obviously do it because its making them money, did you know a very decent amount of the views on the show come from the haters who just want to watch it to make fun of it online? if everyone who hates the show stopped watching it a very decent chunk of viewers would be missing and that would in turn cause CN to air it less. if you want it to air less stop watching it.

[@thomasmurrell9832]

Super Isaiah "Shut. The fuck. Up." ~Penn This is a bullshit fallacy and it never works. "if you don't like it, don't see it" can be used on just about EVERYTHING. EV. ER. Y. THING. Oh, don't like Star Wars The Last Jedi? Then don't go seeing it. And yes, the way a network treats a show can greatly affect its quality. The show itself is OK and it is occasionally funny for real reasons other than fetish fuels and stupid jokes, but let's take this into another example. I love crab legs. I absolutely do. However, if I spent every day, every hour, every waking moment eating nothing but crab legs, I'll eventually get sick and tired of crab legs and hate them. With how much CN has been pushing the show (literally, there have been times it was the ONLY show running for full days at a time; no shit), it easily fatigues the content and it gets extremely tiring. Wanna know why it's making money? Just look at what I said: they're literally making it become (almost) the ONLY show that airs, except for the occasional movie and/or new episode for a show (and even then, they RARELY advertise them). So no, just because it's bad doesn't mean I should avoid it. That fallacy shit is why shit quality shit is getting shat out by the day (Star Wars, video games, books, and politics, need I go on?). STOP it with that argument. Seriously.

To answer your question Critic, for a while Teen Titans Go was ALL Cartoon Network was showing--you could hardly, if ever, tune in to Cartoon Network without them showing TTG, or promoting the hell out of it.

I really do not like Teen Titans Go! but I think the main reason for the hatred towards the series is because of the really bad decisions of Cartoon Network in recent years. First they canceled Young Justice and Green Lantern, besides they stopped doing the animated shorts of DC Nation. Sure, then we had Justice League Action, but many fans of comics and action cartoons were really disappointed. So, Cartoon Network started making cartoons with the same base, like the remakes of Powerpuff Girls and Ben 10. One can argue that these new series are actually worse than Teen Titans Go! because they were made to follow a trend, not because of a desicion of their creatives who wanted to do something different. Again, many fans were angry at what we saw as a lack of respect for those characters. Finally, Cartoon Network has the bad habit of giving Teen Titans Go! all the damn time. If they use a more organized schedule that would give better series more often, people would not be so fucked up. But instead, they give 4 hours of Teen Titans Go! per day and marathons of 3 days in a row.

Young justice was cancelled because was to expensive, even if the ttgo didnt exist yj was going to be cancelled

[@uchihas1995]

The show is a simple humor parody thats why the animation its simple

[@toatahu2003]

The reason for the hate: Warner Bros LIED. When the show was announced, the fans were told that the show would be the Teen Titans characters, but in more down to earth, comedic situations. There were even previews that the fans overall really liked. Everyone was SUPER hyped for this new show. And then... We didn't get the Teen Titans. Like Doug said, we got... The same character. Worse than that, each Titan is a mockery of their original. Robin is an overattached psychopath, Raven is and emo putting on a front, if she even bothers pretending, Cyborg and Beast Boy are the exact same person, with zero serious qualities, and Starfire is the most 2-dimensional of them all... This WASN'T the Teen Titans. We were lied to. We were promised steak, and we bit into a chocolate cake... I can appreciate the show for what it is. It CAN be clever at times, and it is somewhat funny. I can also fully understand the abject HATRED old fans of the show have for TTG.

[@malmasterson3890]

I got an answer for you, Doug. We end up watching it because its always on! The schedule has calmed down with the constant spamming of TTG reruns that we put up with a short time ago but it still takes over the channel.

I loved the original series, and am kind of sad the reboot is such a disappointment, but that's about it.

Maybe they could've made an episode aluding to the kids condition and how he can live with it (was kidneys' related as far as i remember), or about aceptance of the diferences or... ANYTHING rather than utilizing him for wash their image... for me that episode ws pathetic and rather manipulative... And you know what's the worst part? i LIKE teen titans go! and find it a silly TT parody and it makes me chuckle here and there because it's 4-wall/parody/ironic tone, but i consider that the lowest the series has done; hell! i dislike TT fans and their stupid zealot attitude towards TTG, (despite i LOVING the original TT, like, bros... it's just a cartoon, get over it nsotalgiafags) but that episode wasn't bad... it was WRONG.

[@MmeCShadow]

I think part of the issue is that it's not just 'it's own thing', it's Teen Titans. It's the same voice actors and the same character designs (art style notwithstanding) and the same environment, turned into something that the original never was and using the Teen Titans television brand to ride the original's coattails. If this were just another wacky comedy with a different set of characters -- even parodies of the television Titans, or at least *different designs* -- it wouldn't be such an issue, it would at least be justified as being its own thing. But it's not. It's explicitly Teen Titans. It's taking advantage of a pre-established fanbase. There's no reason it *had* to be Teen Titans if it going to go off in such a different direction, but it made a very intentional decision to do so. It's absurd to think that it just wanted to do its own thing or it would have been its own IP. Compare to Ducktales 2017: it's different than the original run, it has a much more modern style, its beats and humor and characterization are done completely differently, but it works because it has the same heart and it respects its history. Or going back a little more, TMNT 2012: it's more modern in its style and references and was met with some trepidation when it was first teased, but it's clear that its creators have a real love of the franchise and not only got the *feel* of the Turtles right, but paid homage to the many different Turtles histories and universes and it's a beloved series. Hell, look at My Little Pony; it's not strictly a reboot, but it was another unexpected franchise revival that was made by people who loved and wanted to do right by the original series. These reboots felt like they happened because there was something to add to their franchises, because there were stories to tell and they wanted to be told, like somebody had a real idea for a revival and pitched that first (and even if it was a more cynical marketing decision, they still wanted to make something *good*). Things like Teen Titans Go!, meanwhile, feel like an executive was flipping through their IPs and said "Hey, nostalgia! We can make money off this!" The cynicism is palpable. The fact that TTG! is itself so cynical (using entire episodes to misrepresent legitimate complaints and their detractors, their audience, and the original show) just drives the point home. That, I think, is why people hate TTG! It's not just because the original Teen Titans was given the shaft and its replacement is of such reduced quality, it's that it exists as it does solely to take advantage of its name brand. ...that and Cartoon Network's programming is, like, 87% TTG! by volume and that's really obnoxious I don't care what program you're showing.

The biggest problem with Teen Titans Go is that it's at its best when using reference humor. If it's actually good at that then why is it a weakness? Well you see the show obsesses over pointing out that it's for kids. In reference comedy the audience has to know the reference to enjoy otherwise they'll just be confused and wonder what happened. Kids, being younger, have less experience and are the most likely demographic to not get reference humor. Their strength is literally being used in the worst way possible. Add that to a creator who says kids don't need good shows and you have the hallmarks of a poorly ran show. If the thing wasn't played half the day I doubt it would make money.

[@bashbro1able]

THANK YOU. My number one problem with TTG is that they are all the exact same character. It's always more funny to watch personalities collide and clash, but if they're all the same and give similar reactions to everything, it just gets old and boring. If they kept the comedy while keeping characters at least a little true to their original selves, I think it'd be a much better show. I wouldn't say the hate TTG gets is unjustified. I think there's a few reasons for it. Like you said, the timing was bad. The biggest insult is that they got ALL of the original voice actors and instead of getting a revival of the original show, their talent is being wasted on this. Imagine if Batman the Animated Series got cancelled in 1995 and in 2000, you got something like Batman: The Brave and the Bold with ALL of the original VAs returning to voice their characters in a childish comedic show of overly meta satire. Maybe if this show came out twenty years later or something, it wouldn't be as big of a deal. But when the possibility of a continuation of something you love is dangled in front of you like a carrot, but out of reach in favor of something clearly lessened in quality, it's frustrating. That being said, I don't hate Teen Titans Go and while I think it's dumb, it can be fun sometimes and there's actually some interesting ideas in there. But I get the hate. I agree that ignoring a show is the best way to hurt it where it matters, but that's only if you want it dead and forgotten and never spoken of again. That's not the case with TTG. People hate on it mostly because they want the return of the original, in which case, you very much do need to make your criticism and complaints loud and clear in order for those in authority to get the memo. It's not just that people hate it. They hate it, but they also WANT something else. So, I wouldn't say it's as simple as "just ignore it." I believe the outcry is what resulted in the potential revival of the original show that now seems like a possibility. So I think there's still SOME merit to expressing discontentment and dissatisfaction depending on the context.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

DON'T WATCH THE SHOW!!

[@bashbro1able]

Manuel Alberto Romero But... did you read my actual comment? I quite clearly said I don't hate TTG, but I was just trying to explain why I believe it gets as much hate as it does and why I think, in some contexts, it's a little justified.

[@bashbro1able]

Ur Waifu is Shit Well normally, I might agree if this were a random kids show with no connection or ties to a previous franchise that brings our current age of young adults a lot of nostalgia, but this is a case where I think it's more understandable. To have all of the original VAs back from a childhood favorite show only to not get a continuation after a cancellation is understandably frustrating. I'd argue that the adults who complained are what resulted in the potential revival of the original show. If you want to make the argument that "BUT IT'S FOR KIDS", so was the original Teen Titans.

[@bashbro1able]

I never said one is better than the other. If you read my comment, that was not the argument I was trying to make at all. And yes, there's always been dumb kids shows, but just because that's the case, I don't think that's a good excuse. I think people should always push for better quality, no matter what the demographic. Kids deserve better than just shoving anything down their throat and surmising it up to "well it's a kids show, kids r dumb." And like I said, TTG isn't really just any old kids show. Let's imagine that these were all original characters that had absolutely no connection to the original - I get the feeling people wouldn't give a shit or bat an eye. The problem is that they're taking essentially the same characters from a childhood favorite show and making a 180 out of them. They didn't even really redesign them. For example, replace the characters of Spongebob with characters from Avatar the Last Airbender with all of the original voice actors in a brand new animated series instead of making a follow-up to the unresolved (excluding the comic) plot thread of Zuko's missing mother and people MIGHT have more of a problem. If this was the type of show they wanted to make, they could have at least done their own thing, created their own original superhero characters, and not take advantage of the popularity of something that was once beloved by so many. But for the record, I don't mind that TTG is a comedy with no character development or drama, I just hate that the characters are all self-centered assholes who make the same jokes. They can't really bounce off each other, unlike the Looney Tunes, which had extremely clever writing where every character is still unique to themselves.

The main problem I have with TTGO it that it was entirely unnecessary... everyone uses the excuse that CN is targeting a certain demographic but that would assume that the demographic they are targeting wouldn't like something along the lines of the original TT... which is BS. It's just another instance of TV networks not having respect for young viewers... the same kids that enjoy TTGO would also enjoy the original it's not like the show was too complex for them... it shows that CN is completely out of touch and don't understand that alot of the past generation of kids(90's kids) never grew out of liking animated entertainment like the generation before them did.... and they are ignoring a huge portion of potential viewers...

The thing about Teen Titans is that while it was a kids show it had great writing and good characters enough so that anyone could enjoy it, kids, teenagers and adults which is an example of "good kids show" because even though it knew what it was and the target demographic it never pandered to it or produced terrible work under the guise of "it's for kids" no matter how insulting it is to said kids because kid shows needs quality writing for it to have respect and be treated seriously which is something that is severely lacking with TTG because it has all the hall marks of a bad kids shows that people not only try to defend but attack those who criticize that show as "blind nostalgia haters" for no reason other than just because regardless if it makes sense. This is the problem i have with Cosmonaut's video on TTG because of how he defends that show despite it's terrible quality because it's "kids show" and disregards any legit criticism people has with that show just for the sake of being a contrarian and nothing more. Not helping is that he then disparages both original Teen Titans and Young Justice because "nobody watched them" which is not only untrue and frankly bullshit but he disrespects two great kids shows in favor of a terrible one because it's popular now and it pisses me of so much how Marcus disrespects great shows just for the senseless sake of defending an awful one just to be a contrarian.

That's not a comparison, that's not even a duel. That's just a very flamboyant execution. Edit: My main gripe with the new show is... Well, that it's Teen Titans specifically. They keep going on and on about how they're completely different but they're using the original character designs, plots, just dumbed down and cartoonised. It's not "It's own thing" It's a spinoff that fails at being a spinoff. They have a blank slate, they could've used different characters, like Blue Beetle, Firestorm, Jason Todd as Robin, Terra even, as a permanent member of the team. But nah, they chose to ride the tailcoat of something they don't even want to be

[@jadedjaws4952]

As someone who grew up with the original Teen Titans, I will stand up for Teen Titans GO!. Especially in the last season, this show does have some amazing serious moments that I wish Critic had mentioned. The animation and the backgrounds are so beautiful you wouldn't recognize it as TTGO!. It also has AMAZING guest stars (including Scooby and BEETLEJUICE, two more childhood favorites!) and has moments that get dark as hell. Things DIE. It has THAT kind of humor! There are also at least 2 scenes where you see a fucking URN in the background that says "Robin II" on it. It has so many funny in jokes both in dialogue and the backgrounds that it rewards you for sticking out the stupider episodes that can be hard to sit through. Honestly if you hate it without watching it, I feel sorry for you, because you're missing out.

Everything the Critic said about the Titans being unfit for a comedy genre is true. Taking these characters who worked hard to connect with one another and become strong heroes/individuals...and then throwing them into a world where they're nothing but selfish, inconsiderate pricks to not only the city but each other. That feels like a tremendous slap to the face. Before people decide to say I'm "not part of the target demographic; so, the show's not meant for you." Let me just say...you might be right. HOWEVER...I hate how networks are making shows strictly for one age group. That works for Disney Jr. and Nick Jr. because those blocks are meant to educate the wee ones. But when you use that business sense in making other programs, it just doesn't seem fair. People who grew up in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's saw shows that appealed to both kids AND older audiences. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Foster's, Billy & Mandy and Samurai Jack (just to name a few) are examples of how well this works when done the RIGHT way.

you're totally right... and it's weird how both CN and Disney have put some "childish looking" cartoons (Adventure Time, Gravity Falls) but instead of following the path of a smarth, funny and clever story cartoon, they go with "weird" because it's a trend, specially cartoon network... and i "blame" Adventure Time for it, AT did fine because the over the top comedy and weirdness also had a deep story, but now it's just lazy weirdness for the sake of being weird, and lazy designs for cheaper animation (Ben 10, Thundercats Roar, the new power puff girls)... i remember in some cartoons and live action shows, had like one weird character, Drake And Josh had Gavin, and Crazy Steve, every scene they were in they just delivered a nonesense line or did something crazy, but it didn't happen too often, like once per episode.... then all shows feature one weird character on their main cast, if not the entire cast is like that... I was like 20 when i first watched Gravity Falls, and that says a lot, it's not an adult show, it's a kid's one adults can enjoy... i also grew up watching re-runs of original Ducktales, and can totally watch the new reboot, becuase it's done in a smart way... on the other hand, i can't watch TT-Go, new PPGirls, Ben 10...

It’s super confusing, on one hand you’re for kids and on the other hand you’re clearly not responding to kids.
