Anyone a fan of Teen Titans?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a fan of Teen Titans. That was an understatement. Let's restart.

I'm obsessed with Teen Titans. Though I haven't read the original comic book, I've looked it up a bit on Wikipedia. Just a little. Mostly info on Raven.

So, is anyone a fan of Teen Titans? And if so, would you like to have a literate Teen Titans conversation? (I would like to talk about Raven with someone.)

I am a big fan of it.

Tim

...I like 'em . I buy the present-day version , altho' , in fact , I might be dropping it.........I do like the Titans , including the older , 60s-70s , ones .
I had the Showcase reprinting the first 20 or so 60s issues !
I have meant to try and talk about super-hero comics here .
There's a Titans East 1-shot coming out soon...I think I'll get that .
How much TTS have you read ?

...I guess you especially mean the cartoon show , which I've only seen some of , I do not have cable right now .
It's good , as well .
I've gotten the Teen Titans Go ! comic book based on that version , also .

I haven't had cartoon network for over a year now. I liked the show, but I didn't like how they had the characters turn into there tiny little figures with huge heads.
My favorite character is Raven, but she often pisses me off because, she is clearly incredibly powerful, but she fails to use her potential in most cases. For example: she once used her powers to restrain Robin. She just picked him up off the ground and held him in the air with her power. If she can just hold people like that, why is she picking up objects and throwing them? And there was that time Raven's fear dominated her but she wouldn't face it, and her powers pretty much consumed the tower and defeated the whole team. You never see her do that kinda stuff against an enemy.
Granted things may have changed in the year since I've watched the show.

TheMidnightJudge, have you ever seen this scene?

It's from Season Four's The Prophecy.

Oh man that was sexy!

I didn't see anything past season 2.

Only thing is, Slade wasn't allowed to fight back.

What's with all the runes?

Yes I quite like Teen Titans (Not sure why -- possibly because it's so random.)

My favourite characters are Raven and Beastboy.

It's strange how something based on Amekomi (word for American comics) can be so obviously Japanese. If it wasn't based on Amekomi it would probably count as Anime in our culture.

This question is for those in the U.S.

Has anyone noticed that when Teen Titans is aired on the Cartoon Network, sometimes they play the theme song in English, and sometimes it's in Japanese?

Tim

I'm not in the US, but...

It's sung by Japanese people (obviously) so that makes sense. They used to do the same with "Monkey Magic" in Australia.

The 'runes' are... hmm. Okay, long, drawn out spoiler time that basically describes two episodes. (Highlight it, please!)



Yeah. There's my uber wase of your time. Hope it helps anyways.

And to add to that, it always seems to use the Japanese version of the theme song for some of the more crazier episodes (Mad Mod, Employee of The Month, Fractured, ect.)

Anywho I really enjoyed the show, and it seemed to get better with each season, though I thought the final season was kind of weak. Regardless the characters were fun and a lot of the episodes were well written.

I think it is Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi that does the theme song.

Tim

Actually, its just Puffy AmiYumi. Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is the name of the show that came out shortly after Teen Titans.

But yeah, I've listened to a few of their songs. Good stuff.

when I catch it I watch it, love the caracters, a total change from the 80's characters!

I only watched that show because one of the characters voiced someone in Titan A.E. It kinda sucked when they cancled it and we never found out who Slade (who I would watch the show for) was.
