There was an episode where Cyborg and Robin were doing combo moves together, and they combined Cyborg's boom box with one of Robin's birdarangs, and the electricity made it come to life.

It was a birdarang and one of Cyborg's microchips. Cyborg's boombox merged with Robin's staff to become a robot.

Batarang and Boombox are the best characters.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

In terms of side characters I was always fond of Painbot. Sticky Joe is too obvious and cliché.

Was the Easter Bunny's makeover supposed to be a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or something like that?

No.

Not at all.

It doesn't even bear a passing resemblance like most things overzealous idiots claim is a Jojo reference.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
His theme with the macho look has some references to the Terminator theme, so i'm guessing it's a slight T2 reference.

Everything is a Jojo reference. Jojo is the original story that our existence is based upon. I haven't seen it yet but I heard it's pretty good, was a bit confused by the different versions but I haven't really looked into it.

I was paying more attention to his face than anything else, which looked so much more ridiculous than before if that was even possible and the added insanity of pairing him up with the Khary Payton voiced Tooth Fairy, all I could think of was Yellow Diamond and her one face that was supposedly a Jojo reference. For the record, I haven't even seen Jojo, hence me asking it rather than saying it outright. I was also thinking it was possibly Fist of the North Star, but the Tooth Fairy wasn't getting the stuffing beaten out of her so...

No, accept that your show has now gone out of control and in the hands of complete strangers to do with as they see fit - which is probably just make muscular pretty men.

It's not until august? Because it looks like the CN site accidentally posted part 1 of that instead of the America one from last night.

No, part 1 being on the app is intentional.

I just showed this to my niece and nephew, ages 6 and 8 respectively. She said she was upset Gumball wasn't going to be on, he said he was getting sick of TTG when it used to be his favorite show. I think it might be a little much for even the target demographic.
It's almost like CN has been actively discouraging people from watching their broadcast channel. Are they trying to make the transition to app-only?

Oh, conversation's still going in the next room:
"... and say 'You change back Gumball and all of those shows because I LOVE THEM!'"

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I feel like that can't be real but know it is.

Also I just looked at the upcoming episodes synopses and the one after the Night Begins to Shine event seems...off...It's a cross-over with The Lion Guard, some Lion King spin-off on Disney...I...what? Maybe wikipedia is just loving with me though...the grammar is super poo poo in the synopsis so probably?

They're playing the movie right now and having never seen the original series, was it honestly this loving cheesy all the time? This isn't even seeing stuff that's been parodied to death being taken seriously like Starfire's bad English or Robin being a bossy twat, it just feels really bad. Like it's something that would just be another forgettable action show for kids.

I feel like the majority of Teen Titans was not as good as people remember it. People only really recall stuff like the myth arc episodes and the standout one-off episodes, but mostly it was the most 14 year old anime fan in the 00s poo poo.

I like Teen Titans Go, especially the first two seasons, but they have too many episodes that end in "actually an evil conspiracy" like the one about Pig Latin and evil pig aliens, that are basically all the same episode

Shitenshi

I know we were just talking about the original series just now, but you mentioning the earlier seasons does bring up something that's been on my mind. More of the newer episodes, maybe not the majority but a significant amount, have played up the characters acting out running gags like the team poking fun at Robin or Beast Boy being stupid as the entirety for ten minutes and just that or random weird plots going off the rails as opposed to the earlier episodes where the team would just interact with each other over normal stuff while still being idiots and having the weirdness slowly escalate from that until it's too late to stop it. I still like this show too but yeah, it does feel samey more often than it needs to.

I don't think Thomas DeCarlo Callaway actually voiced his character. It sounded a lot like Robin's VA doing his 80s Kid Skater Dude voice again.
