I am not overly impressed by either but Go reminds me of Dexter's Lab in it's art and humor. It's very self aware and it's entertaining. I have no idea why it's so hated.

[@Shadows_Inc]

I don't think that was an issue at all. Teen Titans was canceled for YEARS before Teen Titans Go came out. The release of Go had absolutely no effect on whether Teen Titans was going to be renewed, if anything it helped people remember it and petition to get more of it, and the people behind Go were trying to make it happen as well. Teen Titans ended in 2006, and Teen Titans Go came out in 2013. Several shows had come and gone within that time frame, so to say that Go stopped the original from continuing, it's just factually inaccurate.

[@ethan_exists398]

I think the only reason why it was so hated was for 2 things. 1, mostly from nostalgia-blind people who hate the slightest change 2, This show came out during a time where the animation community thought “If this show is an episodic series, it is automatically the worst thing in history.” Combining it with a previous story-driven series and it was sure to be despised by everybody. Not even giving it a chance

[@Rosebud076]

@@ethan_exists398 Ah, yes, unfortunately people tend to let one thing ruin anything for them. Like, example, I was skiing with a friend and we were on the lift. I had music on, and it was Black Paper Moon from Soul Eater, but it was an English version (mind you, this friend of mine doesn’t like anime at all though he’s never watched it). My friend comments on the song saying he thinks it sounds cool. I said “yeah I like it too. It’s from my favorite anime Soul Eater.” As soon I said that, he had a complete turn-around and went “oh… never mind” just because it was from an anime and not because he didn’t like the song.

That is only one of the many, many many many MANY MANY MANY MANY other not at all simple factors that make this show terrible

[@InfiniteAnvil]

I have a friend, H, who was an animator on TTG. One Thanksgiving probably 8-9 years ago, I learned that it was my then 8-year-old niece's favorite show. I told H about it, and let my niece use my Discord account to chat. The same day the staff took a group pic to send to her, as well as sending lineart of her favorite character (Raven) making reference to what she had talked about in the Discord chat. I was surprised at the whole office sending stuff in response to one fan chat, and told H so. She explained that given how much hate the show got, sometimes it was hard for them to remember that the target demographic really did love the show - they were just too young to be on social media yet. So hearing from even one fan brightened the mood of the whole studio. (The studio was (is?) in Canada, if you're wondering why they were at work on American Thanksgiving.)

Does H still work for TTG or did they quit?

[@InfiniteAnvil]

@@ikathiibean She definitely hasn't worked on TTG for a few years, but I couldn't swear to the circumstances.

Based on how the episode was written and what I learned from the internet, it makes me think that yes, the episode could have been thought of as a final lesson to the audience, but also a potential set up for the future and a plea to get a sixth season greenlit. Also, TT was indeed cancelled. If the show staff want to continue the series and the network or studio says “no”. That’s cancellation.

I asked him if she said anything about season 6 being expected or unexpected and he said that according to Ashley Johnson, the crew was indeed expecting a season 6 renewal. They weren’t guaranteed, but they thought it was a safe bet. I also found miscellaneous information from many fans in random parts of the internet saying stuff like glen murakami mentioned in an interview that Things Change was an attempt to get season 6 green lit and the crew and VA’s mentioned that they were prepping a new storyline where Terra II showed up. Note that for the last two pieces of information, I unfortunately couldn’t find the sources for them considering that they were on titanstower.com and that site is broken now so that sucks, but I believe the fans who said that considering they have no reason to lie.

There will be one episode, where a character with Express distaste with something the others were doing then, in the next episode, they would be doing that thing.

As a child who never went on the internet, I never saw the hate or even the original Teen Titans show, when GO came out. It allowed me to go in and just enjoy the fun. However, as the show went on I found that the show had slowly transformed into a show that consistently made fart jokes and bullied Robin for some reason. Back in the first season even if it wasn't gold it felt fun and felt like it had effort put into it. Once I got to season 6 and watched the camping summer special, back when it was airing for the first time I realized what I had loved about the show in the first place, was completely gone, besides the movie and the crossover movie. I never hated the show at any point, but I don't know it got to the point where I just couldn't keep up with the series anymore and I put it to rest. May my found memories of nostalgia never be disturbed and Teen Titans Go never touch me again.

The episodes are honestly pretty funny, with jokes about mortgages, financial schemes, etc. I think my favourite is when they go to the Grand Canyon and Robin begins talking about the indigenous heritage of the area and it ends up being a stolen land joke.

What I really like about your Videos is your lack of "Hate" You are True Neutral and it helps seeing things into perspective, thanks

[@JadoDog]

The main reason it was originally hated is going to be forgotten over time: The hype before Teen Titans Go really piggybacked off of the Teen Titans fanbase. They were constantly promoting how "Teen Titans is coming back!" And "The original voice actors are coming back!" All the other reasons it was hated really was partially reinforced because of the momentum from the disappointment after the hype they built (There wouldnt be nearly as much hate if, for example, the original Teen Titans never existed). And when you add that to the fact that Teen Titans ended in the oddest way possible with a less-than-satisfying conclusion (before Trouble in Tokyo came along), people were hungry for it. Then when you get a goofy show with caricatures of the characters you grew up with? It made fans salty and in response to the backlash, the creators kept making episodes making fun of the fans.

[@jacksonteller3973]

I don't think so, this show is plenty terrible on it's own merits for it's lame humor that treats kids like idiots and the numerous episodes immaturely dedicate to attacking fans of the original show.

[@JadoDog]

@jacksonteller3973 Oh I'm not saying that the reasons it's hated NOW aren't warranted. I'm just saying the original reason it got such a huge amount of hate will be forgotten. So as time goes on, people who are fans now will continually ask why it's so hated when the content of the show can be seen by the fans as a different of opinion. And the answer is the creators were antagonizing Teen Titans fans every step of the way.

I was a teen titans go hater... and I still am lol. The original teen titans cartoon was groundbreaking for me as a baby artist and storyteller. It felt like one of the only shows that really took its audience seriously at the time, who were interested in portraying complex linear character development and interactions, alongside telling a cohesive story. I will always cite the original teen titans as my first and major inspiration that made me get excited about sharing and telling stories in the future, when I grew up. To see such a foundational, essential cornerstone of my childhood that helped shape me into the man I am today, made an absolute mockery of? It stings. I don't think it'll ever not sting.

[@wormsquirms112]

this ^^^ 😔 the fact that they warped the definition of the characters so far just to attract an audience that was familiar with it, without even giving the original 2003-2006 teen titans a proper goodbye or anything, AS WELL as cutting the 5th season in half (it was supposed to be much longer, with slade coming back and taking over the brain's whole thing, check the TT wiki) is honestly really insulting to the artists, writers, VAs, and fans of the show. sure, not having a 6th season sucks (i'll be honest, i am still devasted lol), as that got cancelled as well, but they weren't even given the opportunity to properly finish the 5th one or create it how they originally wanted to. if they really wanted to make something like ttg, they should have come up with some unused side characters or different heros, or at least given the original closure. instead it's left with a cut season 5, cancelled 6th season, and cliffhangers, and then writers who admitted to never seeing the original teen titans are given the greenlight for ttg. it's honestly so insulting to all types of artists that came together to create the original teen titans. sure, there is effort put into ttg, but it just completely disrespects the original it takes everything from. even the directors, when asked about rebooting the original, have their writers script in jokes in-show in ttg about the original teen titans being cancelled and if the 6th season will ever be made. there was one whole episode dedicated to making fun of it. just completely disregarding how much they owe the original tt for ttg's success in characters and storylines. it's just so insulting to the original and tt's team of artists and writers along with the fans who just want closure :/ as an artist and writer it really boils my blood with how disrespectful it is (obviously not everyone in ttg's team but it's just so wrong for them to mock the original and its fans like that for them being the core success of their show. smh)

[@harveydangerfield]

@@wormsquirms112 dude you GET IT. from the standpoint of an artist and a writer myself, it KILLS ME to see how far these characters have fallen. they were so layered and had so much depth in the original series. robin's whole red X arc, cyborg's identity crises and imposter syndrome and the episode where he has nightmares about being turned into a full robot, raven basically being mentally ill and it being surprisingly good representation even if they didn't mean for it to be, beast boy's constant struggle for respect and validity, starfire being torn this way and that between friendship and duty... the stories were so complex and narratively rich in a way that nothing else marketed towards kids really was during that time. it made me want to become a better writer just so that i could make something some day that would make another little kid feel the same way that teen titans made me feel. and then to see it reduced to flanderized fart jokes? ill never get over it. its truly unforgivable.

@@harveydangerfield MY DUDE 🤝YOU UNDERSTAND there was so much depth and love put into the original teen titans 2003 show, with pretty much perfect character chemistry and accurate and respectful depictions of all kinds of mental illness, the entire terra arc from start to finish was about manipulation and fighting back against your abusers!! and as someone who's been through the same thing, to see her just turned into an inexplicably angry character in ttg that hates beast boy for no reason... 😭 i could seriously go on forever about so many different things teen titans 2003 did right, each season was planned to be about each character and treated them all with so much respect, love, and care... and then we were robbed of starfire's whole arc in season 6 that was supposed to be made, where we would have gotten more about her life on tamaran and her brother wildfire, as well as the gordanians having their own tie-in with star's arc, etc. it's just so... sad :(

Honestly before the writers started leaning harder on the trolling against DC fans in the actual content of the episodes themselves the plots were so random and whacky that they could have been done with character designs that were original characters and it wouldn't have made a difference. I remember thinking that they should have just made an original show, but realised that then they wouldn't have gotten anywhere near as much attention and started to think that they actually WANTED to upset fans of the original from the start in order to make their show stand out among comedy cartoons premiering on Cartoon Network

I'm not saying that Teen Titans Go became as beloved as Wind Waker is now, but it's a similar story.

[@MusiciansRule07]

I loved the original Teen Titans and was indifferent to Teen Titans GO until one of my baby sisters got sick with terminal brain cancer mid 2015. She loved the show before she got sick and it cheered her up since it was always on while we were at the children's hospital. I was her day to day Caregiver and I was with her overnight a lot so it eventually became a comfort show for the both of us. It also added to my love of Khary Payton who I discovered through his role on The Walking Dead during that same period. I haven't watched TTG since her passing in late 2016 but I still have good memories surrounding it and some of the running gags. I definitely understand where the hate came from but I can honestly say that it wasn't nearly as much of an atrocity as the overwhelming majority viewed and still view it as today. You touched on all the reasons why in the video. I'm glad you came around and shared your new opinions with us.

I was in the target demographic age range, but I think I had a more nuanced opionion even back then. A lot of the episodes or some scenes that were very cringe, but some that were actually really funny. Maybe part of it is the fact that I've always been able to seperate TTG from TT, and could recognise that the intention was entirely different and that TTG was not meant to be taken seriously at all. I still wish that we did get a proper final season for the original Teen Titans, as everyone thought. I would give anything to see that.

And like you said, the whole schedule domination thing was because of Cartoon Network execs. Besides, you didn't HAVE to watch the channel ALL DAY, so if you were mad at that, blame the execs. Overall, it's a fun, witty show, and I don't see myself hating it any time soon. Now VELMA... oh yeah, that deserves ALL of the hate in the world. No, galaxy. NO, universe. NOOO, MULTIVERSE.

As someone who watched Teen Titans Go first and watched the original years later, I never really hated the show. I thought it took a bit too far in some episodes, fart jokes are fart jokes, and it was far from my favorite show on the network, but I overall found the show genuinely funny and creative with its approach and ways of doing things compared to other shows at the time. I never saw it as the show most dc fans wanted it to be, I always saw it as what the show wanted itself to be. A laid back, fun and chaotic show that relaxes your brain. While the show has its moments here and there, the show never tries to be anything it isn't. The crew knew what the show was, and planned to keep it that way. Even to this day, the show still retains those feelings, but it definitely leans more on its chaotic and creative sides as more seasons come. Despite being seen as and named the Teen Titans, they are nothing like the original teen titans at all. Heck, they don't fall into any formula that any superhero movie or show has dared take a dip into. You'd expect them to run out of ideas at this point, but one of the strongest points to this show is that you can do ANYTHING with it. An episode where Robin is mad that he didn't get a free birthday ice cream and so mauls the Titans with wolves, that's an episode. An episode where the titans transform into cars and fight an evil military doctor, that exists too. An episode where Robin gets an intelligent and sentient message chair that relaxes the titans and the retire world to death, what do you think? That's the beauty of this show to me, the chaos. You never expect what they'll do next, and they have no limit to their creativity. The show isn't some grand masterpiece by any means, but it's such a unique show is so many regards, having it stand out so much in comparison to most other shows. Fans of dc ragged on it relentlessly, and Teen Titans Go in some ways used that as a strength. They were aware of its hatred and they did not care, they did what they wanted and it is absolutely commemorable. I still enjoy this show to this day. Not in the same way as I enjoy shows with more focused plots, story, characters, and writing, but I see it as an excellent means to just let go. Have fun and just absorb the absurdity.

4:45 Facts I rewatched Teen Titans 2003 on Max earlier this year and honestly stopping an episode short of the Very last Terra ep and then going to the Tokyo one actually made the series feel satisfying. It had a solid number of seasons, a good amount of episodes where its not too much but not cut short too early like spectacular spider-man and Honestly I was perfectly fine with not seeing Red X's face or what was in Robin's brief case. So whenever I rewatch the full series I always stop an ep short even though I know they said the last ep is about letting go lol

I hated Go for awhile because I was bitter about the old show getting cancelled but when my kids started watching it and I realized that it wasn't all fart jokes and it kept doing episodes like Oregon Trail that my kids didn't even get I really came around in it. I'll never be okay with how the original ended but I learned to appreciate Go. Even my mom loves Go and would watch it by herself haha! So we had 3 generations watching it. (She loved the references to 80s pop culture)

I mainly moved on from it. It was clearly not for me so I felt that there was no point in getting mad over it. I felt that I would rather spend my time on things that I actually enjoy rather than just focusing on the things that I dislike.

i think the major issue with TTG was the promos and how awful the scheduling was for CN. I look back at it and get a giggle at some of the older episodes and jokes even if they were childish. I think we WERE too hard on the show, mainly because CN shoved it down our throats instead of other shows that deserved more of the spotlight instead of some childish giggles. TLDR, Show ain't as bad as we remembered, CN just really sucked showing it 24/7 to where we hated it because of CN.

This show's crew is great! The fact that they can keep pushing it forward in an age where a lot of animated projects are getting cancel (and I can easily point to a great animated series that died too early in each streaming service), show us how talented this people are. Besides, the humor is pretty good, it can be silly and childsh sometimes, but can genuinely funny and smart and, the icing on the cake, the episodes of the night begins to shine are art in its purest form, is truly a audiovisual masterpiece.

[@Razorstolemycar]

I mean the show has it's moments. Like, I like how the show is self aware on how it's nowhere near as a good as the original. Like there was one episode where they watch clips of the og series, and they are blown away by how good it is! Then there was another episode were they straight up abridged the first episode, by doing a goofy voice over on the more serious parts! Also the night begins to shine episodes are peak!

[@starsiadraws]

YES!! Those "Night Begins to Shine" episodes were legit so cool and I genuinely loved the designs of the Teen Titans in those episodes. Starfire literally had a side-shave and it looked SO good on her.

[@ericquiabazza2608]

Indeed, girst 3 season have gems here and there amobg the mhe comedy it characterize the serie. Then, episode like this give a toxic aura to me, like the crew was not just self ware anymore but sick of hearing it, bringing more and more slies to fans of the OG. So i drop it. I am sincerily coguse the kind of people who still watches this or even cartoon network at all.

@@ericquiabazza2608 I have to agree with you on the crew eventually just making a miockery of the original fans.

That energy got tiresome and honelstly came off as insecure-toxicity.

[@MilleniumKage]

In my opinion the original Teen Titans had a pretty perfect finale. It wasn’t intended to be this grandiose end, as said we pretty much got that with the episode beforehand. So to wrap up the season and series as a whole, As Khary Payton puts it “What is the biggest lesson a teen takes?” It’s moving on. That we don’t always get the resolutions and answers we want, things change and live is always going forward so it is unproductive to stay in the past

[@oakenshadow6763]

The 0roblem is, we watch media for the resolutions we don't get on real life. It gives up hope to find them IRL. And in a showcase story driven as Teen Titans, it really was sad for us to not get any sort of proper conclusion, yet enough of one to not be able to make our own. I just wish it hadn't been canceled.

I’m shocked there’s no mention of the Night Begins to Shine!

I know it plays repeatedly, but it grew on me against my will in the hospital. I think it’s a great show for what it is and the writing can be nonsensical, but does have its witty commentary.

Teen Titans Go is a show that will have a good joke every now and then via some sort of stroke of genius. They just overuse every other joke that keeps them going, like Robin's Ass or something to do with farts. Like, I'll admit, the idea of an episode 200 being about how they don't wanna keep making this shit, and just wanna see their family, cause they're underappreciated is such a mood man.

[@AnAnnoyingDrache]

[@Mooncakez69]

I used to LOVE this show when I was a toddler, but when I got a little older, I grew out of the fart jokes and humor, and I used to hate it so much, and the fact that it was on every SINGLE day for EVERY hour made me angry, so I couldn’t watch my favorite cartoons, and this was back when TTG was really taking over Cartoon Network, but now, I’ve learned to appreciate it for its humor and really go back in time by watching the old episodes I loved

[@jonathanshepherd5515]

It's nice that you got new perspective, but whenever I see GO, I remember what came before it. The original Teen Titans was a masterclass in storytelling, character writing and emotional impact. I honestly believe it to be in the top 5 shows ever aired on Cartoon Network. TTG was never really meant to replace the original Teen Titans. They're different shows. But I will always feel the heartache of what was taken from us.

I think another reason why people (including me) hate TTG is because Tara Strong tweeted that if TTG to the Movies did well the original would come back but unfortunately it still never did and all we got was a crossover where the original Teen Titans looked... off, so it kind of made me feel like I just got conned for a movie I liked because it had comedy and action

[@dontwear_itout]

Actually, that was not regarding that movie, that was regarding the ttg vs tt movie, which did horribly. It failed because og fans boycotted it out of hatred for ttg. Because it did so poorly it appeared as though tt fans were not a large enough demographic to continue the show for

[@ericquiabazza2608]

The fact that OG action was enough to make the movie do bad tell you Ttg has no leg to stand on and the moment it stop airing people will forget about it andd see whatever the heck it was replaced with. Also comes in question what is in the rest of cartoon network catalog to make ttg their flag ship. Really apalling

It's nice seeing this, especially since just a week or so ago, I saw someone make a poll on this exact question. The overwhelming response was that TTG was always the worst thing to ever exist, and always will be. Wonder if a few of those people will have a new perspective after this video?

[@zixserro1]

On the original Teen Titans not having a "proper finale", I saw someone else's video about why "All Things Must Change" was the final episode, and it did a good job of defending it as an actual proper finale for the show. The message of that episode is that things change, new things will appear in your life, and questions about your life might go unanswered, but that's just part of growing up, and you have to learn to move on and go through your life without closure sometimes. It's a pretty powerful message, especially for a show like Teen Titans, and I think it was important for them to make that the final episode. If OG TT had gotten a proper final episode where everything wrapped up neatly, would it have actually been better off for it? Or is the way that it ended, an open book with a weird mystery introduced in its final episode with no resolution, just a metaphor for how in life, sometimes things just don't end in a satisfying way, but you have to keep moving on? I kind of really like the idea of that; I feel like, even if OG TT hadn't gotten its final season shaved in half and had gotten to tell the full story it wanted to tell with the villains and teen heroes all teaming up to fight each other, All Things Must Change would've still been the final episode of the season. Even with everything wrapping up "properly", we still would've gotten that weird final episode stinger that should've led into the next season, but ultimately wouldn't, because I'm pretty sure the crew knew that season was the last one they were going to get. It was planned to end that way, so I would say that it got a proper finale, even though that finale provided zero closure, because that was the point of it.

[@Ralathar44]

Unfortunately if it was not accepted by so many fans then it failed to be a proper finale even if it theoretically could be on paper when interpreted a certain way.

[@scratch2086]

Why does fans having no zero media literacy translate to it being a bad finale?

[@pieraldodiaz2868]

We werent to hard on it, if anything, we werent harsh enough

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

I will admit that it's kind of impressive how this show is still going strong. It's still on the air no matter what anyone says, and it's likely to join the ranks of The Simpsons and SpongeBob in terms of long-running animated shows. Now, I am not saying that everyone has to LIKE TTG now just because it's not cancelled. Quantity is not equal to quality. But maybe we should give this show a Teensy-Weensy bit of credit for not backing out despite all the endless backlash it received over the years.

[@yvaincallipso84]

One of the funniest things I've ever heard a showrunner say was when the creators where asked which Robin it was "Is this Robin Dick Grayson or Tim Drake" and a showrunner answered: "Do you really think we would make a character this insufferable and not take the opportunity to call him Dick?"

[@khanolval9848]

No *roll credits*

[@kampy19]

I'm glad people are giving it another shake, especially after the movie. It's worth noting though that GO had nothing to do with the cancellation of either Young Justice or the original Teen Titans. That was almost entirely due to poor toy sales. David Slack, producer on Titans, noted they were moving towards a Mattel toy distribution license, and Bandai held Titans. So, due to poor sales, it was decided not to renew. Mattel received the license in 2006, which was basically the nail in the coffin. Young Justice faced a similar issue. Greg Weisman revealed the reason for the show's cancellation on a podcast. The show's funding was based on a toy deal with Mattel. The toys were not selling enough so Mattel cancelled the toy line, pulling the funding for the show. With no sources of income large enough to replace the money from Mattel, the show was not picked up for a third season. So, while I get it's a popular rumor to blame GO for those series ending, it's pretty incorrect.
