My favourite understated joke is how the "serious" firepower is even more outlandish and absurd then what they usually use. Come to think of it, this seemed way more of a dig against the comics than either the Young Justice or Teen Titans show. e: scratch that, it's the fact that when they're serious it inverts the dynamic of the Starfire/Robin relationship.

Is he seriously complaining that a show focused more on the titular characters than the ones from a different franchise?  Good lord, this must be how the Emperor in Star Wars felt all the time, no wonder he was in such a great mood all the time.

I'm starting to think that Teen Titans Go takes place in an alternate universe where the Robin who led the TItans is Jason Todd. Also super glad to have this show back, it's great to have a comic book show that doesn't take itself too seriously now and again,

I was just making a joke, I know he's the nondescript probably Grayson of the original cartoon.  I do like how the scripts are increasingly just becoming excuses for Scott Meville to ham it up, he's just having so much fun. I never knew how much I needed Robin suffering in my life until this cartoon.

I have to wonder how old these fans are. I watched the show when I was 13-14 (which I imagine is roughly the target age) and I'm 24 in a few weeks, it seems weird for someone my age to make such a big deal out of "betraying the fandom" (I bet these are the same schlubs who didn't like Brave and the Bold). Was this show really popular among younger kids or live on in reruns for years? Because this seems like weird behavior for a fanbase that should be in their early twenties or so.

I thought it was pretty funny, myself. Half of it was because I have a friend who I know would freak the ever-loving poo poo out at this episode. Kind of gave me a Psychonaut vibe. Also if you want a nice dose of manchildren getting salty about getting called on their poo poo and having it sail right over their heads,(and I know it never quite gets old ) This shmuck should fit the bill, the comments are solid gold too. He's done other episodes and one where he does the depressing time travel episode of the original that's 100% just an excuse to kvetch, but I'll be damned if I'm trawling through his archive, I can feel the  from 50 yards.e: "The original show held up perfectly, but as a fully functional adult I can appreciate them fully" loving

The comments explicitly names that guy I linked earlier as inspiration and the voice of these guys too, I guess he's the closest they get to actual criticism instead of descending into sound and fury. Maybe I should link his other "Toddler Titans" (sic) reviews, I may have stumbled onto something beautiful here. e: holy poo poo this is gold, he recommends Kill la Kill as an alternative e2: "Steel took a puff of marijuana" For all the ranting about "MY CHILDHOOD" they are pretty quick to suggest the brutal maiming and death of their favourite characters. Also the creators for the grevious sin of not taking their favourite show from ten years ago seriously, but that's a given. Also this guy is apparently 23, holy poo poo. How the hell do you write this poorly at 23, I honestly would have guessed he was 15/16 by how he wrote. elastoneIswear: I was going to mock him liking a pony/kingdom hearts bit, but right next to it was this nice little bit of lunacy. What is it with people way into childrens cartoons and right-wing nationalism?  Lots of stuff against Sarkeesian, feminism and SJWs too. And under "Literature" the first thing is fanart of an Anne Rice novel. This is a deep-rear end rabbit hole I have found myself in, his "top 30 characters" bit is elucidating, and not just because he uses capital letters on TvTropes terms like they're proper nouns.Alright one more, same dude's review for Breaking Bad. Although review is kind of the wrong word, since it's borderline incomprehensible and I don't think there's any actual criticism, analysis or observations, just two guys recounting what happened to set up zingers like they're trying to write themselves into the role of the robots from Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I didn't know it was possible to get so little out of the show. His little not-YJ bit is pretty amateur too. Alright, time to show off the Mr Enter stuff. For your viewing pleasure His depressing time travel episode from the original series. Sort of a palatte cleanser, decent if kind of basic look at a good episode. He immediately goes for the TTG spoof on it, of note is him getting upset that Nightwing marries Batgirl like in the comics Here is Waffles, which I kind of find weird that everyone jumps to as the trump card of "this show isn't good, checkmate, Christians 1 Atheists 0  ", it's an episode that tries something, and the show is good at just throwing things to the wall to see what works, and if it doesn't then hey, it was only a few minutes.Serious Business, where he gets way too goddamn pleased with his stupid nickname. Boys vs Girls, where he completely misses the point of the joke and takes it seriously (it seems like every show when I was a kid had an episode like this that ended in a lukewarm tie). It's like the joke at the end of the spice life episode, where Robin espouses a middle-way moral and everyone is just sort of agreeable but underwhelmed. Really the last one is the one to watch because holy poo poo he gets so mad about a dumb cartoon playing with boys not being superior E: during his "won't somebody think of the children" bit on Boys vs Girls "kids don't learn a sense of sarcasm until they're older (which is laughably false) heck some adults never develop one either

You know, I'm not going to lie; I never really liked Young Justice all that much, even the first season. I've never watched a show about young superheroes that was just so maudlin, I think the operative word I would use would be 'joyless'. Not to say that I don't like some brooding in my spandex-beatdown shows (I love B:TAS all to bits), but Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (which was running at the same period of time) hit the mark much more cleanly for me despite being much more poorly animated and I guess technically being the worse show.

Most of my favourites have been said, but Hose Water and Let's Get Serious are probably my favourites, alongside Girls Night since it was the episode that made me decide to follow the show.

I don't know why people say this show doesn't have good morals, "cheesy 80's prog rock is loving awesome" is a good moral for young children. Iron Maiden's "seventh son of a seventh son" album was pretty much the soundtrack of my teenage years

It was a pretty good show that had the potential to be amazing, which is pretty much the perfect storm to get a show cancelled and get the fanbase to wig out (see also: Firefly).

Yeah, it was pretty fun. I liked the return of Cyborg's fondness for old TV shows too. I think the whole Weird Al dialogue might have been the show asserting its merits Batmite at comic-con style again, but it was a lot of fun. "We're so bad at this!" e: I can't believe Spider-man is too cowardly to fight Darkseid, what a jerk. ManlyGrunting fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Nov 29, 2015 |

You know, I get the feeling that this show is going to go down as one of the greats for the younger kids who watch it once they grow up; just the madcap humour and the sheer amount of situations and ideas it comes up with gives me the feeling that it's going to stand out in memory and be a favourite like Spongebob before it.

Holy poo poo, where are these from? God drat, dumb nerds never cease to entertain. e: seriously, like this isn't exactly high comedy. You just sort of enjoy the absurdist ride as the internal logic of a cartoon about superheroes goes off the rails. Sometimes I wonder if the DCAU did more harm than good for some people.
