Recap / Teen Titans Go S 3 E 53 The Cape

Go To

Robin and Cyborg get into an argument over capes, causing Cyborg to quit. Meanwhile, Slade sits in a dark room pretending to hold things.


This episode contains the following Tropes:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Cyborg shows up from nowhere to save Robin from falling into a barrel of "prune juice".
  • Crazy-Prepared: Robin made sure to position the team's entrance over an air vent to ensure he'd have Dramatic Wind indoors.
  • Dramatic Wind: Robin loves it cause it makes him look awesome. Lampshaded when Raven asks how it's even blowing indoors, and Robin says that he positioned their entrance to be close to a vent.
  • Gag Dub: The episode takes footage from the first episode of Teen Titans (2003), "Divide and Conquer", and dubs it over with a far more comedy-oriented script than the original.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Robin decides to steal Cyborg's stuff after the latter quits. He later ditches his team to save himself when the fight with Plasmus goes south.
  • Lampshade Hanging: In the beginning, Raven notices that her robe and Robin's cape are flapping indoors and asks how that could be possible.
  • Milking the Giant Cow: Slade's dramatic gesturing is dubbed as him performing acting exercises.
    Slade: "I am pretending to hold... a pear."
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Robin ditches his team to save his own hide after Plasmus gets a second wind.
  • Serious Business: Robin takes cape-wearing very seriously, and insists that Cyborg wears one. Cyborg quits the team because he doesn't want to.
  • Show Within a Show: The justification for the use of the old Teen Titans (2003) footage is that the Teen Titans Go! team is watching the show on their TV.
  • Skewed Priorities: Cyborg doesn't finish off Cinderblock because he notices some bird poop on his arm and feels the need to wipe it off.
  • Suddenly Voiced: Cinderblock and Plasmus.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: After hearing the crime alarm, Robin runs into his team and declares that was not just trying to steal stuff from Cyborg's room.
