The Official Unofficial That Guy with the Glasses Thread.

As much as I hate to tell him the following, he should watch The Mysterious Mr Enter's reviews on the show.

the reason i hate go is because and i hate to go spoony here....its an utter betrayal of the old show the few episodes i see and the ones mr enter reviewed completely upsets everything the old show did just for pointless jokes

(Looks around confusingly.)

Were you referring to E-Rod or me?

...The Power Ranger?

I will never understand why people make such a big deal of hating what is essentially a gag show. It's not supposed to be in continuity with the other show at all. Its sole purpose is silly comedy. If you don't find it funny, fine, leave it at that. But don't act like it's an intentional slap in the face or like they killed you and spit on your grave.

I've learned that.However,I feel the show has much more problems than it not being like the original.Even if I didn't like or knew about the original I'd still think it be a crappy cartoon.

I don't care if it's not in continuity, the fact that it betrays the original show so far only serves as a bitter reminder of what could have been.

"What could've been"? Teen Titans got 66 episodes and a movie. I mean, I'm a bit miffed Starfire never got a focus season, but besides that it lived a pretty long, full life for a cartoon show.

When did we decide a prerequisite for being nostalgic for our childhoods is being under the delusion that every show we love was cut down before its time?

Besides,they're is a possibility in the future we'll be getting a more serious teen titans.

I hope not.

Thank you, Targetmaster Joe. I apologise for the insult.

Wackd, people are still mad that they never got to see Terra and Beast Boy do the Y7 equivalent to the horizontal rumba, that is my theory on why people think Teen Titans was gone too soon. Also, I'm certain half those people stopped watching the show after Terra died, and only came back for the last episode because they caught wind she was coming back.

Teen Titans got a much better run than most other fan-favorite shows. It seemed even to be loved by the network in its time. I don't get why people don't seem to remember those factors. Every show ends at some point.

If we're really gonna be splitting hairs, using your terminology, the original show is a betrayal of the original comic series because of how far it veers from that (even if it did adapt certain plotlines from the comics, it still changes a ton of details and adds its own completely out-of-left-field quirks).

I don't know why people just can't let it be. Teen Titans is done. You want a more serious Teen Titans, read the comics, there's about 50 good issues out there. You want a continuation of the cartoon, read its comics (confusingly also titled Teen Titans Go!). You don't want to watch the new series? Don't.

"Don't like, don't watch" is never a reasonable dismissal of criticism. Point is, Teen Titans Go is devoid of everything that made the original cartoon so great to begin with.

You're ignoring everything else I said in that post just to say that? Okay, fine, I'm done, this is pointless.

'Don't like, Don't watch' may not be much of a defence, but 'it's not much like a different show in the franchise' isn't much of a criticism.

I'm not even really defending the show as a show—I haven't seen it, and it could be bad, by all means. I'm just saying that if you're going to criticize it, at least use criticisms that make sense.

I don't even have a horse in this race, but when you produce a spin-off / franchise work in the same medium, with a vaguely-similar (although even more exaggerated) art style, with the same voice actors, and use a title that evokes the comic sequel to the previous cartoon... people are going to have certain expectations, even if you tell them that it isn't a sequel. Add that the original ended while it was still decent (YMMV), and I don't blame people for feeling cheated out of wanting more of the same rather than something entirely different.

Vaguely similar art style? Not at all. The original had anime-ish art while this show has art like My Little Pony.

That's why I said "vaguely", although I see your point. (Not much of an art critic.)

Eh, it's all good, sorry if I was harsh there.

Maybe I just watch cartoons too much. is something that could probably apply to a lot of people on this site

Obscurus Lupa has uploaded two new episodes of Baywatching.

I know it's a joke that's been done a million times before, but the romantic date/serial killer montage had me busting a gut.

Huh, someone went on down voting rampage

Noticed that first vote on each new video was 1 star <_<

Oh, Lupa! I thought nothing could top mocking the Charmed Ones, until mocking Weenie Eddie popped up!
