Why could'nt DC just use the Teen Titans to go against Guardians

why are Elric of Melniboné and a bunch of clones of him cosplaying the NTT?

>>92281612
You mean the same way Batman, Superman and WW competed with Iron Man, Cap and Bucky?

Making an inferior movie, getting slaughtered by critics and making less at the BO?

>>92281612
Teen Titans really don't hit the same notes that Guardians of the Galaxy does though

>>92281612
>teenagers with superpowers
>in DCU
you know its just gonna be like twilight except a little bit sexier because of starfire

>>92281612
Popularity/renown in comics circles has absolutely nothing to do with making a good movie OR how much the general populace knows about the characters.
>>92282234
You mean sexier because of Dick, right?

>>92282217
Not OP, but Guardians of the Galaxy didn't hit the Guardians of the Galaxy's notes either; they reworked the entire team and all of their personalities and even origins.

This isn't anything special or new (even the newer cosmic Marvel comics did a lot of gently ignoring whatever came before them), but that shows that you don't really need to pay attention to shit to please most audiences.

Did the teen titans just have one really good story in their entire existance?

>>92282273
They don't have ANY good stories

>>92282273
They haven't had any.

>>92281612
I wish they would just scrap this toon titans and make YJ a thing again. Beastboy and Raven need to grow the fuck up. It's one of the worst cases of tv synergy.

>>92282273
They have had a good RUN, not a good story. Judas Contract is praised, but it's like the Dark Phoenix storyline; take it out of context and remove all the issues in between Terra's first appearance and the storyline and it looses about 100% of it's affect.

Comics weren't written with trade paperbacks in mind in the 1980's, but some younger readers fail to grasp this.

>>92282377
I remember Chris Claremont once outright said that the main reason every other Dark Phoenix adaptation is so shit is because "the bang at the end only worked due to the slow burn leading up to it", and having read the entire run I have to agree with him.

DC felt Suicide Squad was more marketable. So that became DC's #2 team. The Titans will always be hampered because they are sidekicks and knockoff JLs and why they would rather take characters off the team, like Cyborg or villains like Deathstroke, and put them on a team or in a movie they feel they can push or market more.

Also Guardians have a very unique look and feel they worked into the movie that wasn't really in the comics. Despite the Titans hitting their peak in the 80s if DC ever does make a movie about them it won't have any 80s feel to it and use modern music and visuals because the actors will be "modern" young adults.

Teen titans is not about space adventures with a white guy

>>92282345
They are making a third season of YJ.

>>92281612
They can compete and BTFO the xmen franchise

>>92282684
>DC felt Suicide Squad was more marketable

They were right

>>92282708
Aside from that time Dick went off into space to get his orange alien princess girlfriend back.

>>92281612
Because the Teen Titans are much better than LE EBIN DANCE OFF X-DDDD

Besides, if you want LELSORANDUMB you already have the TTG cartoon.

>>92282755
This. Suicide Squad made a ton of money and that was without being released in China.

Adam Warren's one-shot

>>92282770
thats stretching it too much

>>92281612
Teen titans is all about teenage problems and struggles and finding their own identity beyond being a sidekick

with massive hints of sexual awakening
done in a very deep serious yet somewhat humorous way that teens can still enjoy

its not about LE EBIN DANCE OFF X-DDDD

>>92282894
I always thought it was about child murder. Go figure.

>>92282972
That is part of the teenage problems and struggles.

>>92281612
At least they're smartening up with a new TV series and Nightwing (and Starfire, too, according to rumours) in the DCEU.
