the Teen Titans controversy

[Kyle Nuva]

i hope thats the correct word xD

anyways

Teen Titans was an amazing cartoon, sadly it had its flaws with plot holes and ROUGH character development, it had a long run but they screwed us and poor beast boy. beast boy tried his hardest to either win Raven or Terra's heart and what did they do? give him and us the middle finger, Terra was freed but her memory erased and told BB to F off. VERY RUDE AND INSULTING. Robin also struggled with star fire in the original series, movie and the insulting replacement of ttg. they went to space and both Robin and Star argued like morons and boy was that painful. so it ended with too many unanswered questions, it was said it was comming back and it never happened. ttg. hard to believe it got 200+ episodes and a movie and its extremely dumbed down with god awful and cringe gags. i swear that cartoons like that and back in the 90's they either had a massive budget or had no budget and made as many episodes as they could and not give a damn and that can be a problem due to: running out of ideas, episodes not getting finished, filler, plots end, to many recycled ideas and more. a Major loss for us. They seriously without a doubt gave us the ultimate FU

I take that you are talking about the original 2000s animated serie, not the reboot. While the serie had a serious core, it was filled with humor and slapstick because, well, it was in cartoon network, and otherwise it would not be approved for children. Also, like many series of that time, I think it wasn't intended to have a progression, that happened because of its popularity, so they tried things like the Terra story, the Raven Story, the Starfire story, and so on, ending with the movie. Anyway, I think you are trying to see things from a perspective too mature.

I can't believe they didn't end the teletubbies properly at all; what a cliffhanger.

Terra wasn't true to her original evil character that was in love with slade. Because such a thing is not okay. So after her arc ended, what material would they continue from?

Writing her out was the easy way out.

Teen Titans Go is awesome.

I'm more worried about the fact that the Power Rangers evidently didn't have any parents. Either that or very neglectful parents.

Seriously, wouldn't you notice that your kid was wearing a giant silver watch, and every time it lit up he/she vanished for hours at a time. And are you telling me they wouldn't have any bruises, sprains, or other marks when they got back home?

How is Teen Titans controversial? The original isn't but Teen Titans Go can die in a fire i guess.

I thought you were talking about something else...

Oh boy. I should really do some cleaning in my noggin. Stuff like that probably shouldn't stay in there for more than a decade I think.

Yeah, but the censoring was always there, Slade couldn't be called Deathstroke, the starfire outfit was heavily changed. Actually, they reall thought some smart ways of passing the censors.

One generation’s humor is the next’s cringe.

Beastboy is the single most popular and likeable character so they figured he didn’t need any more screntime.

Power rangers was about delinquents in the 80s since japan was having a social crisis centered around them.

Last one I watched was about scions and heirs and middle class families. Mostly the family unit.

After being alienated an discriminated against as an immigrant would you become an intelligence agent for your home country?

The US lives in perpetual fear of this, and also had to actively discriminate against immigrants in order to maintain a predictable electorate which fits into current campaign schema.

Because it’s dependent on immigrant labor.

Japan gets away with acting friendly while actively opposing immigration because it doesn’t use immigrant labor.

Part of the reason it’s become such a social backwater.

Did you use a necronomicon because this thread is a year old dead one.

You're never going to see mature relationships in a American cartoon.

It's even rare to see it in anime, as the "clueless protagonist" is a meme that just sticks to animated works, even across entire genres.

There are very few where the protag does fall in love and the relationship progresses throughout the series.

Actually the one anime that stands out the most in this regard is Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World. The protag and his girl actually move forward in their relationship and the girl does fall in love with him, and they become intimate (as the title would suggest). It got terrible reviews but I found it refreshing to see a protagonist who wasn't clueless. That said, this series felt really rushed and the last episode in particular is a mess. They knew they weren't getting a second season.

Rising of the Shield Hero has some development between Naofumi and Raphtalia. In the light novel they plan to get married but they haven't progressed that far in the anime. I actually thought their relationship kind of stagnated in the anime at a kind of pseudo boyfriend-girlfriend stage but if there is another season they might progress further judging by the novels.
