Who likes Teen Titans?

Postby JediSonic » Fri Oct 17, 2003 5:20 am

I know it is a controversial issue whether it can be called "anime" or not, but I was wondering how many of you like it. I think it's awesome! Have you guys seen Apprentice Pt. II? That plot was quite deep considering how the show usually is!

On gamefaqs.com, there is WAAAYYYYY too many posts about how 'hot' Raven and Starfire are, and other sick things regarding those two, so maybe if there are Teen Titans fans here some intelligent conversation can take place ;-)

I do enjoy Teen Titans. I really don't want to get into the "anime" argument once again. Personally I haven't seen that episode, but I'd be up for some intelligent conversation. Who's your favorite character and why?

Starfire! LOL

You might even say she's the most christian-like of the group in her morals... and you've gotta love all the hilarious scenes that come from her innocence/ignorance too!

Not to mention, she is quite cute, plus her powers are very cool! :cool:

Personally, I'm curious about the alien race that she came from and why she ended up on earth. Of course, with your trusty book of super-hero cliches, it's not hard to guess : P

Teen Tians is one of my favorite shows. I like Beast boy that most. Personally anime and cartoons are the same to me. I think people use to two words to tell wich show came from Japan or the US

I like it okay. Not as much as my sister, but it's still good. My favorite charater is Beast Boy, he has a good personality and all. I also like Raven too, she became one of my favorites after that one episode where Cyborg and Beast Boy went into her mind...(One of my favorite episodes ^^)

The terrifying moldy bread incident! In elementary school, Yomi's leftover bread started rotting inside her desk! you can't imagine what happened! Not only that, but the mold had a will of its own, it was terrible! Barricading ourselves in the science prep room, we used spirit lamps and engaged in combat! Then I realized it!! If we only had the bottle of mildew remover from the bathroom, we could destroy them!!

I love Teen Titans. :jump: Can any of you tell me if the main theme is sung in Japanese or Korean? My favorite character is a toss-up between Starfire and Raven.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

The theme is a cross between Japanese and English.

I'm a Raven person myself. Unlike most, it seems, I really don't like ditzy characters. Raven is the most serious character by quite a long shot. The hooded costume and occasional glowing eyes helps too. All in all, though, I'd say she's my favorite character due to personality and rich backstory (at least, it will be rich if they follow the old comic series at all).

Anyone who detests Raven has to see "Nevermore." Great episode.

I haven't seen Nevermore, which is a bummer because everyone says how awesome it is! I also haven't seen "mad mod", so I'll keep checking in on Saturdays to see which one they're showing ;-) Tonight's rerun: "Divide and Conquer"

I can't wait until they put out more new ones!

Teen Titans is a pretty good show. My favorite character would be Cyborg:"I've got the sonic if you've got the boom."

I like this show quite a bit... Even though it has some corny humor, there is enough style and character interaction to keep me interested. TT is a fun show overall, but my favorite charactes would have to be the serious ones too.... like Raven. I also liked Terra :sweat: ... And you all know what happened with her...

I LOVE TEEN TITANS!!!!!! I try to watch it EVERYDAY!!!! It's sooooo cool!!! But..I can't choose who's my favorite character. I like them all. They all have good personalities and powers. ^^ I like Robin cuz he's friendly, yet fierce at the same time. I like Raven cuz she's the deepest character. I like Starfire cuz she's so cute and pretty and her powers are good too. I like Cyborg cuz he's sucha easy-going guy and his personality is so cool. And he's so strong and his blue laser-ish thing is awesome. I like Beast Boy cuz he's so CUTE!! He's like the baby of the Titans and he's so CARING. They're so cooooooool!!! Yay!! ^^

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

I also enjoy Teen Titans.
Though I am not sure who my favorite character is... They all play an equaly important role in the group, and each of their personalities are interesting in their own way.

I think:
Robin is the most inteligent and resourseful
Cyborg is the strongest and toughest
Beast Boy is the most humorus and strange
Raven is the most powerful and the most reserved (or introspective)
Starfire is the most happy and friendly and dittsy
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
- J. Hudson Taylor
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Of course I like Teen Titans, the cartoon. Raven recently got some new ink in the comics, which I don't mind, but her head's shaved now...bleh.

I don't think they'll be going into Raven's backstory in the cartoon. For a show aimed at kids, I find it very hard to believe they'll reveal that Raven's half-demon. Or if they do, everyone else will just say, "Oh, she's our friend so we don't care."

Terra's a lot better in the cartoon, she's not the chain-smoking tramp she was in the comics, so I actually kinda like her. Starfire's a lot more light-hearted too, I guess because her home planet isn't destroyed in the show. At least not yet...

Starfire - "Someone's claws are on my grebnax!"
Beast Boy - "Heh. My bad."

Just got done watching the best ep of TT I've seen yet (only got to watch half though). Cyborg disguised himself as Stone to get to know the bad guys' plan. Just one question. Who was the pink-haired cutie in the black dress working for Brother Blood?

i agree! I love girls characters who are "shy" and "quiet"... much like sakaki from azumanga daioh ^_^

anyway, it may just as well be anime, with wetern superheros added onto it. You notice anime elements, such as sweatdrops, giant heads, eye-twitching, etc. Not to mention the first few episodes the theme song was in Japanese

I really like both Raven and Starfire. I enjoy each for what they are, just as I like both Sakaki and Tomo.

In both cases, though - Raven and Sakaki were my initial favorites as I generally gravitate to the quiet, brooding type, but both Starefire and Tomo won my respect with their energy and exuberance. Even though Tomo is a total idiot.

The anime influence is obvious, but the basic style is definitely American. I think it's a good mix.

My only complaint with Teen Titans is they appear to make it so that the team is utterly powerless without Robin. That's annoying.

Raven rocks.

I didn't like Terra. She was kind of annoying, and her angst never interested me. *hides* Starfire was annoying sometimes, too. Though she's made me laugh lots of times, sometimes I just find her irritating.

Now enough negativity. My favorite character is Robin. He's a good, strong leader. I like his attitude, and not to mention, his battle techniques and moves. The Apprentice II rocked! XD
