History YMMV / TeenTitans2003

!YMMV tropes for the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' series

* SignatureScene: Slade's breaking speech to Robin near the end of "Haunted". The scene is notorious for just how unnerving and disturbing it is, and helped show many viewers how dark the show was willing to get in spite of it [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids being a kids show.]] To the point where it's essentially the defining example of the boundaries the show pushed at the time.

* FandomSpecificPlot:
** There are many fanfics where Terra being a local school girl in one episode is explained -- usually, it's because she got amnesia, which is [[DeathOfTheAuthor odd]] since the show was almost explicit that Terra was choosing to forget.
** Likewise, it was also common to see {{Fix Fic}}s where Beast Boy and Terra end up getting their happily ever after.
** Nightstar, Robin/Nightwing and Starfire's daughter from ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'', is quite popular and is the subject of many fan fics, even though a large fraction of fans (given much of the show's fanbase is younger people who don't follow the comics) seem to have never read the source material or just [[JustHereForGodzilla skimmed it]] for Nightstar and Robin/Starfire content. Similarly, there's the newer Jake Grayson, their son from ''ComicBook/NightwingTheNewOrder'', who is also lumped in with the family.

** Mento of the Doom Patrol is such a complete {{Jerkass}} that it's largely become his sole character trait in the fandom's mind, which has largely oversimplified his more complex portrayals in the comics, where he was an example of ParentsAsPeople caught in the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor. His few redeeming character traits in the later ''Doom Patrol'' and ''New Titans'' issues[[note]]Steve was key support for Garfield's relationship with his then-girlfriend Jillian Jackson back in the pages of ''Doom Patrol'', and he was unambiguously an example of GoodParents when the Titans were going through UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks, ironically enough.[[/note]] are almost entirely forgotten.

** There's also Red-X, although he's more of an AntiHero.

*** Anna Diop, the actress who plays Starfire in ''Series/Titans2018'', found herself a victim of very real racism and slurs for being a black woman playing a character who traditionally has orange skin.

*** And also applied to the bleak future for the Titans of the episode predicting the tragic fates of many Titans in comics with [[spoiler:Garth's death in ComicBook/BlackestNight, the transformation of Roy Harper into [[FaceHeelTurn Arsenal]] after the loss of his arm and his daughter in [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice Cry For Justice]], and the break up between Starfire and Robin.]] Not to mention both its contemporary run during and after the premiere of the show being either BrokenBase or SeasonalRot.
** Also, the use of Dr. Light in the series, if you know [[MoralEventHorizon the things he did]] [[ComicBook/IdentityCrisis2004 elsewhere...]] Also counts as a ContinuityNod Because [[spoiler:in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis2004'' they partially damaged his brain in the process of the mind wipe, making him even weaker than he originally was]].

* {{Squick}}: Occasionally invoked:
** Kitten and Fang's kiss in ''Date With Destiny''.
** Starfire's appetite for Silkie's cocoon.
