... And after seeing a few episodes from both seasons, I can definitely see why. I fully understand that this is a comedic spin off on the original series and some of the episodes did make me laugh. But others either made me cringe or made me think that the writers were tripping out on LSD. And since 400 words is not enough to fully explain, I'll keep this short and sweet.
Pros: The voice actors do a great job reprising their roles Cyborg in particular, I find quite amusing. Going hand-in-hand with that, they prove to be quite talented singers. Most of the songs in this show are admittedly catchy. And though I'm not big on art style, it does kinda fit with the kid friendly nature of the show.
Cons: I just have two big ones.
The Titans's Flanderization. I understand that this is a comedy show, and there's nothing wrong with having an Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist, but the Titans in here go beyond unsympathetic and are flat out unlikable Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy are the standout examples. I won't go into details as that will be too long. I already wrote about that on the Wall Banger page for the show. Put simply, when the most heroic teenagers in Western Animation are on the villains wiki, you know something's wrong.
The seeming potshots the show takes at fans of the original show. I don't believe they're intentional, but it can be pretty mean spirited to some people. Taking a swipe at the Fan Dumb is one thing, but attacking fans of the original show who have legitimate criticisms is just wrong. The show is already polarizing on its own and this just makes it worse.
Overall, like I said, this show is definitely not for everyone. As for me, I give it a So Okay, It's Average. It has its good episodes and its bad episodes. But then again, so do most cartoon shows. In short, If you're a fan of the original show, you probably won't like it. But if you're curious, just want a quick laugh, or you're bored and looking for a way to kill some time, go nuts.
