Some of you really need to stop being patronizing pricks. Stop saying people are saying its bad because its not like the original show. Its starting to get really annoying and makes me think a mod needs to get involved because you guys are trolling. We've been over this. Plenty of us dislike the juvenile humor, terrible characterization, and plots that aren't even worth the paper its written on.
Stop insulting our intelligence with the same dumb statement every other page.

Really, it seems like the vast majority of the talking down has been from the haters.
Haters gonna hate it, apologists gonna make excuses for it.

This villain shall return in a later episode, as the big brains of some criminal heist.
Why aren't you laughing?
A article about the show's producer's thoughts on the YJ crossover.

TV Tropes is featured in this video about "Why adults shouldn't complain about kid's shows" or some shit like that.
The Mysterious Mr. Enter is brought up in the video too.

- ... by the sound of his voice, I am surprised he's old enough to have a 9-year-old child. He sounds a bit like Dr. Wolf too. .... if he had a temper and snark.
- I also like how he doesn't speak in a fast pace. I find that to be successful in making internet videos, you need to be able to speak like an auctioneer, which I cannot do, and which shows just how much of a low attention span internet youths have. This is a good change of pace.

Having gone home to visit my family I can say my nephew loves the show, so it's doing it's job in appealing to it's actual target demographic.
Episodes are too hit or miss for me though.

Being popular for kids is the point of the show, though. If it accomplishes that it's a success. I get not liking it, and I won't say that's wrong but a lot of people come off as condescending to me when they go on about "what, so kids can't like good works" as if children aren't allowed to decide for themselves what they consider good or acting as if their tastes are going to stay the same throughout their lives.

Children can decide what's good for them to a certain degree, but they're still limited in their capacities to recognize what's good and bad for them. That's why, you know, they need adults around to guide them.
Which means the writers are using the fact kids have a harder time distinguishing bad from good as an excuse to put less effort in their work. Charming...

Hey, couldn't we also say that we thought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the same way for us and our parents when we were young? Or any other 80's/90's cartoon?
"We be we baby!"
Yeah, but I'm having a hard time understanding how this show is bad for them. A bad show maybe but I don't see it being bad for anyone.
If it were trying to push some agenda or was more than mindless fun/stupidity (whatever you want to call it) that would be one thing but it doesn't.
Looking at it from the perspective I can't really get behind the "kids don't know what's really good so we need to show them" for something like this.
Like I said, it comes of as condescending more than anything to me in this situation.

I don't know, the 80s TMNT never was THAT mean-spirited and never had the Turtles act that much like Jackass, at least as far as I remember. In fact I remember that back when I was a kid it already annoyed the hell out of me when the main characters were despicted as overly uncompetent or overly unsympathetic.
In other words you hated lazy writing.
Unsympathetic characters is one of the worst protagonist types to use. I don't even get how anyone would find them funny.
Why aren't you laughing?
Just because you dislike the character type doesn't mean you can just write it off as "lazy writing". well, you can, but it would be lazy of you to do so.

Agreed, this doesn't qualify as lazy writing. It's... another kind of flaw entirely. To be fair, an asshole protagonist can be done right- after all, Iznogoud is one of my favourite Franco-Belgian comics-, but... I don't know, in series like Teen Titans Go, it just feels... wrong. In a lot of scenes their jackassery isn't even funny. Like, take "Staring at the Future", with the scene of Beast Boy telling Nightwing his family is terrible: where is the joke in that? No seriously, how is this supposed to be remotely funny, even without taking the Original Cartoon in account?

I could argue that it was because of his reaction and the future shock plot, but that would take too much critical thinking for most kids to comprehend so lazy writing is what most of the audience will boil it down to.
"We be we baby!"
Well I meant lazy more in the terms that a lot of effort isn't really put into why characters in a lot of series are dbags when they're supposed to be the protagonists. They just are.
Meh, I will admit to have different tastes. I just don't see the humor in it myself.
They're assholes because it's funnier that way.

It was funnier that way, but it grew stale real fast. A complete lack of depth only can take you so far, even in a comedy.
And really, That's probably why many have stopped caring if the show fails or succeeds. But let's not forget that there was a show with this same brand of crazy...
