If you bring up TTG and your dislike of it, you’re either greeted with people who agree with you, or people who say ‘You’re living in the past’ or ‘It’s a KIDS show get over it’ or ‘This is different, it’s not meant to be taken seriously’
This is what people and Cartoon Network themselves fail to understand: We get that and pretty much fully accept this is not OUR Teen TItans
It’s not that we’re opposed to the idea of a comedic reboot of something we love at all, I mean it’s worked amazingly in the past! Sonic is really benefiting from it with the new cartoon series, and even something as serious as BATMAN turned into Batman Brave and the Bold, and a lot of people love that series!!
So it’s not the fact that they turned Teen Titans into a comedy: It’s the fact that they did it wrong on so many levels, and the fact that the show runners and the network itself act like literal children when it comes to criticism.
This is a pretty good explanation of why a lot of people can’t stand Teen Titans Go. The show probably means well and it might be even trying to get different messages across in the episodes mentioned here (I can’t say for sure, nobody can unless anyone working on the show confirms anything), but it’s executed so poorly that it comes off as mean.
Also, useing “it’s a kids show” is a poor excuse and it’s insulting to both kids and kid shows.
There were many shows for kids that were well written like batman TAS, steven unievrse, gravity falls and yes I will say it here, the original teen titans. They were shows directed for kids that never insulted the kids intelligence. They were smart shows which let a kid think and actually had characters with depth and story arcs.
Saying it’s writing is excused because it’s a kids show is an insult to kids.
