What went so right?

The porn.
The porn of TT is way better than the show ever was, an insipid & dull take on a irrelevant comic property, a pretty blatant attempt at cashing in on the massive success several japanese animes were having in the states.

TT never came close to B:TAS, Batman Beyond, JL or JL: Unlimited

Solid writing.

When this show came out, most of us comic fans thought it was okay. Not as good as the DCAU, but enjoyable. Now I see people online saying it's one of the greatest cartoons ever. What happened?

>>94422924
People started realizing how overrated the DCAU is, especially in comparison.

>>94422940
>overrated
>DCAU

And what's better?

Good characters, great style, lousy competition.

If you ignore the over-the-top anime-imitating that has aged like milk, the original Teen Titans show had a lot of style and some compelling characters. Especially for young teens watching the show who wouldn't be tired of the not-particularly-inspired personality archetypes portrayed. Not that I'm trying to undermine it; it was a fun show at the very least.

>>94422924
The people who watched it as little babbies are old enough to post on 4chan now

>>94422980
>the not-particularly-inspired personality archetypes portrayed
Can't say I agree with this. The personalities of the major characters in the show were quite readily identifiable, if not completely unique.

>>94422962
the TT cartoon adaptation.

How many TT episodes involve an overarching narrative?

Is it most?

>>94423479
More than half.

That weaboo shit?

C'mon /co/, i didn't know that you had such a bad taste

>>94423525
If you're telling the truth then that's good. I mostly saw episodes out of sequence when I was younger but I enjoyed what I saw and nowadays I like shows with episodes that are meaningfully connected to one another. So I'm going to give it a shot.

Its a neat ship but I never took it seriously

>>94422819

Kids had bad enough taste to like it and now they're old enough to shitpost about how great it was

Great characters, great team chemistry, fresh animation style, CHARACTER ORIENTED PLOT.

Also most of the public really felt connected with them. They are the TEEN Titans after all.

Anti-TTG shitposting didn't exist before Teen Titans Go started.
Remember that posts against it are actually posts against its fans.

The movie is actually set between season 4 and 5.

>Glen: It’s a longer story and we have more time to spend with it. We developed it between seasons four and five, so in some ways, it fits in between those seasons. But I don’t think that really matters much.

>>94422819
great team dynamics

>>94424711
That doesn't make sense. There's literally zero indication of a relationship upgrade in season 5.

>>94422819
It was weeb shit.

I don't think it's wrong to say Raven and Starfire being some of the sexiest cartoon characters ever drawn was a big part of this show's success. Gorgeous women is like 70% of why the New Teen Titans comics were successful in the first place.

My favorite episode was the one where Cyborg was kidnapped by that creepy dude who tried to turn him almost completely into a machine.

>>94424711
Wait there was an old TT movie?

>>94422819
No matter how many times I see this art, I always think Starfire has a shrunken foot

I always liked how the core team of five were organically slotted into classic high school archetypes.

Robin - the class president
Starfire - the exchange student
Cyborg - the jock
Raven - the goth
Beast Boy - the class clown

And using those archetypes as a base, slowly started to build each character's personality over the course of the show.

>>94423030
This. I was surprised upon rewatching it how relatively rounded the characters were. There were tropes as always but every one of them had multiple layers that were unique to them. I can't think of other characters who are exactly like any of them or fill the exact same role in a series.

>>94425958
It probably helps that the cast was so few

It wasn't just them, there were plenty of other attractive females like Terra, Jinx, Blackfire, etc.

>>94422819
It respected it's source material and found a way to work around it's limits (given it was a kids cartoon) and adapted the comics most iconic storylines in a dignified manner.... kinda like 90s X-Men in a way.

Completely the opposite of GO.

Speaking of Teen Titans, how did you guys feel when the early 2000s culture and shows faded away?

really miss extreme culture though.

The only thing that's real about TTG is the shame of it not being cancelled yet.

No, they're not. They don't even look the same, let alone act like it.

>>94433615
They look pretty similar dude

>>94433663
No, they don't! I suppose you think the similarly named characters from the comics are also the same ones?

>>94433681
Stop being a faggot, they're literally simplified designs of the 2003 cartoon

>>94433767
You're the faggot here, thinking a shitty spinoff is a continuation of the brilliant original series in any way, shape, or form.

>>94422819
It created the shitty beast boy/raven ship cancer that still plagues the characters

>>94433779
TTG is at least funny. The original TT is a piss-poor attempt at making a dark anime. Get off the nostalgiawagon

>>94433779
wow dude, this is extremely pathetic. The original doesn't jerk themselves over the show this hard

>>94433811
>he thinks drama means dark
>>94433845
The original what?

Teen Titans was a mediocre cartoon that seemed great when it was around because its competition was ass. Watching the show without the rose tinted glasses and the flaws stand out more, like the terrible animation and fight scenes

Judging from what I see here and on tumblr, shipbait for girls and fapbait for boys.

Vortexx was the last to do that and that was a couple of years ago.

The first few episodes of season 1 aren't the greatest. I suggest finishing that season and then deciding if you like the show or not, the season finale really kicks things into high gear.

>>94436147

The official 2007 release was largely a formality, millions were using it even during the beta period. (Which was when it got much of its bad rep.)

>>94433964
Have you seen the backgrounds in most of the episodes? They're washed out and static and the background characters are flat. Most of the effort went into the main characters and even their animation could be stiff at times?

Technically Saturday morning cartoons continued until 2014 when Vortexx ended, but for most intents and purposes, they basically died in 2006, when Kids' WB ended and ABC Kids lost all their cartoons and replaced them with shit like Hannah Montana. Satam cartoons had already been declining since the late 90s, but 2006 was the final nail in the coffin.

>>94427700

Nah. It was more of a Young Justice cartoon than a Teen Titans show, while the actual Young Justice cartoon was more of a Teen Titans one.
