Well I bet you never saw this coming and i'm going to let you know right now there will be somethings in this review that you will disagree with so here is my review of teen Titans Go! so lets get it started.
The basic premise of the show is what do the Teen Titans (Robin , Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg) do on there day of and I have to say that while the set up makes it sound funny it does come with a lot of problems and I think alot of them are due to the fact the show only has eleven minuets to tell a story and I don't think it needs saying but the show is episodic so you can watch the latest episode and still get a feeling of who the characters are.
Reprising their roles as the titans are Scott Menville , Hynden Walch , Khary Payton , Tara Strong and Greg Cipes. In all honesty the acting for me was very mixed especially early on in the series but as the series went on the acting did get better and that's not really a surprise since alot of these actors are legends and they played these roles in the original series.
One of the major issues I have with the series is the fact that alot of the stories just end a story is meant to have a beginning , a middle and an end here they have a beginning and an middle but no end and that really does hurt the show in my opinion I wouldn't mind in alot of the episodes were two parters but there not so there's no excuse for not ending a story.
For the purpose of this review I did watch the so called "Hater" episodes and I have to say that while I do see where the fans of the original series are coming from because alot of what they say does come across as mean spirited alot of the time it's also a harmless meta joke which sometimes I did find myself smiling at .
Now alot of people think that the show is made by Cartoon Network it's not it's made by Warner Bros animation and animation wise it's not that good i've seen TV adverts with better animation and for some reason they give the characters these really thick lines that to me is just distracting to look.
However on the flip side of the argument the simplistic designs I think really do work with the shows animation style they somehow make the characters look heroic and at the same time look goody and almost childlike.
This is where i'm most likely to get the most hate but I think the fans who grew up with the original series need to understand that this show isn't meant for them it's meant for little kids and to them this is a great show hence why it keeps on getting picked up and has over 200 episodes now again to flip that the makers of the show have to understand that if your making a show called Teen Titans and it features the same cast as the original show then there will be alot of hate.
Now again I might get some hate here but I found the show to be at times rather funny granted it didn't get a big laugh out of me nor was alot of the jokes funny but for me it was either Starfire or Raven that got the most laughs for some reason seeing Starfire angry is really funny to me and u'm not sure why and I love Raven's dry sense of humor.
I can't not review and not talk about the fact that it's on all the time which to me is both great scheduling and bad scheduling at the same time it's great because if you have a hit show it means you can get alot more viewers to your channel and thus more money can be made when it comes to advertising but it's bad because it also means alot of pretentiously great shows fall by the side because of the fact alot of the schedule is taken up by this one show.
Now the show does kinda include the theme song to the 2003 series and I say kinda because it's a remix of that theme and honestly I think it's one of the best things in this series it's fun and upbeat and to the point plus it does have a nice beat to it as well.
Overall while this is no doubt a bad show it does have some good qualities to it and those cannot be ignored and while I do still think the movie looks terrible I will still check it out just to see where they take these characters so the show gets a fair 5 out of 10.
