Teen Titans Go! "Stickiest Situation", "Moonlighting", "Freak Show" & "Teen? Titans" Reviews
Spoilers below the cut.
Teen Titans Go! "Stickiest Situation"
You know the show has been on the air for 9 seasons because they sometimes do Sticky Joe episodes.
Like the new Cyborg DC logo at the beginning. The bullet is back, baby!
Sea-horse on the rock this year.
I love that after seeing the tombstone clouds that say "RIP Mom" and "RIP Dad" Batman and Gordon laugh anyways. They can't help themselves.
Most franchises would just REFERENCE the Roadrunner. This show turns it into an official Looney Tunes crossover! How can you hate that?
Out of all the characters I expected to see adapted, Danny the Street was not remotely a guess I ever would have made.
Speaking of which, is Bootface real? I suspect he is or they wouldn't have bothered. But this is just another thing to prove that DC Comics is actually a totally ridiculous franchise.
Yeah, yeah, Sticky Joe. I'm just all in on the Roadrunner. ***1/2.
Teen Titans Go! "Moonlighting"
I remember Dr. Moon from Justice League Unlimited. He replaced Dr. Hugo Strange in Cadmus because of the Bat-Embargo.
I love Starfire opening wide.
Raven trying to reschedule the bank robbery was hilarious. Especially funny because the whole thing ended with the robbers curb-stomping Robin.
Cyborg likes cars and has poor social skills. Therefore his ideal second job is a ride-share driver. I love that his second pick-up after Robin is Painbot. Birdarang says, "S'up" too.
"Titans! Unplug that giant nightlight!" The Titans superhero battles are different than other superhero battles.
I thought it was funny. ****.
Teen Titans Go! "Freak Show"
I loved it.
Here's something: As much reverence as Control Freak, excuse me, KYLE, shows for the original series, I like this show proving via clips it had a ton of dumb gross-out humor too. I think major difference is the original show's comic timing sucked.
You can complain that the cast only screams now, but the truth is their performances are much better now than they were then. As vulgar and loud as this show is, ironically its dialogue is more naturalistic, and feels less forced and cliched. Scott Menville annoyed me every week on the old show. Here he's this guy who can belt out Auld Lang Syne in falsetto and kill it every damn time. Nobody on The Original Series deserved an Emmy for their performance. I think Menville ought to be at least NOMINATED for one for this show.
Menville's performance on the old show made both Robin, and himself as an actor, seem incredibly square. His manic energy as seen in the scene where the cast play themselves in the recording booth, makes him seem really cool in real life.
I loved this episode. Who can object to THAT kind of clip show? *****.
Teen Titans Go! "Teen? Titans"
Yeah, Scott Menville ought to at least be NOMINATED for an Emmy.
They did it a super creepy way but Starfire actually being a baby makes sense.
Beast Boy may only be 14, but in DOG YEARS? He's gots to go.
Pretty good. ***.
