History TearJerker / TeenTitansGoToTheMovies

That last part is a '''''major''''' GutPunch for sure, considering how infrequently ''Go!'' plays their feelings for each other this straight. Even sadder when we learn of Jade/Slade's true plan (read: to mind control the entire world to do his bidding). [[HarsherInHindsight Starfire would have been one of the first victims.]]

'''Cyborg:''' I guess I'll have to be a pro football star after all...
'''Raven:''' [[LampshadeHanging That really doesn't sound that bad.]]

'''Starfire:''' Good luck to you, Robin. I hope to one day see your movie. I think it will be very good. ''[flies out]''

'''Raven:''' ''[as everyone walks way]'' Fine. Go make your own movie. I'm going home to [[EldritchAbomination Dad]].\\

* The Titans sneak into the premiere of ''Batman Again!'' and see a couple of previews, each pertaining to Batman's sidekick. First movie: Alfred. Second movie: Batmobile. Third movie: ''Utility Belt''. Funny, at first, but what makes it sad is that before the third trailer is properly introduced, Robin climbs up onto the stage to thank everyone for finally giving him a movie. After the trailer though, Atom says, "He thought the movie was about him!" and laughs at him. Then everyone else, meaning all superheroes, in the theater follow suit except for the other Titans, who only felt sorry for him. The poor guy then ''runs out of the theater crying''. A surprising [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistic]] response for this moment.

* When Robin agrees to let go of the Titans for causing trouble around the studio to get his own movie (already pretty sad, since they don't care much about having a movie, and just did all of it for him), they all leave heartbroken and choose to go their separate ways. It's somewhat PlayedForLaughs, with Jade Wilson politely shooing them off the set, until Starfire turns to Robin with tears in her eyes and sincerely tells him that she looks forward to seeing his movie while hugging him goodbye. Even more of a GutPunch considering how infrequently Go! plays their feelings for each other this straight.
-->'''Beast Boy:''' Bro... is you for real gonna ditch us...?!\\
'''Starfire:''' But Robin, we have done all of this for you...\\
'''Robin:''' Done all of what? Make me look like a joke?! We have to face it: no one will take us seriously when we're together. Maybe we should just go our separate ways.\\
'''Jade:''' ''[as the Titans look on, shocked]'' It's never easy to tell the truth Robin. But I am deeply touched by what you've just done here. And you four? It was so nice to meet you. ''Not really.'' And I'm sure we'll all work together again in the future. ''Definitely not.''\\
'''Robin:''' I'm sorry guys. But it's what we need to do.\\

'''Beast Boy:''' ''[teared]'' Well, the dumpster it is!\\
'''Cyborg:''' I guess I'll have to be a pro football star after all...\\
''[Starfire looks back and quickly hugs Robin]''\\
'''Starfire:''' Good luck to you Robin. I hope to one day see your movie. I think it will be very good. ''[flies out]''

** ''Franchise/TheLionKing''-style nightmare that follows is just as sad as well as being NightmareFuel.

** Robin is signing for three young fans on the studio lot, and the third fan is a child with a drawing of not just him, but the rest of the Teen Titans together, who by that point broke up from their ex-leader. [[note]] For some added RealitySubtext, before this movie, while the show has received a lot of backlash for not being the 2003 one, it was in fact very popular with its target demographic - children.[[/note]] The memory of what just happened is enough for him to pause.

** What follows is [[EmpathyDollShot the rooms shown while on fire]]. And the last thing shown before the scene below? A picture of all of the Titans together.
** As the Tower starts being blown up, Robin starts doubting himself again, since, as described below, he turned his back on everything, including his friends, [[ForWantOfANail all because he wanted a movie]]. Sure, it does have a ''quick'' MoodWhiplash because of [[ChekhovsGag Robin's]] [[RunningGag baby hands]], but this moment is completely and utterly lacking the show's [[LighterAndSofter typical style]].

** Worse, for all Robin knows, his friends are ''dead'', and he's steeling himself to face Slade ''alone'', and willing to pay any price to take him down. It's a rare moment when the show is serious and dramatic and playing the scene completely straight, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkMA1b7NTm0 as does the music score]].

** Cruelly, one of the heroes laughing is Nightwing, seated behind the Titans.

** Before this, Slade thanks Robin for helping him finish the movie, used to mind control the entire world. You ''will'' believe that Lego Batman can play the Titans' greatest villain.
---> '''Slade:''' [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Thank you, Robin!]] You were so desperate to be in a movie that you turned your back on everything important to you! Even your own friends!

* Creator/StanLee's death not long after the video release of the film makes his cameos more poignant than intended.
** In fact, this was the last cameo to be released in his lifetime, though others have been prerecorded for future movies. Pretty ironic for a DC film-his last Marvel appearance was in ''Film/AntmanAndTheWasp.''

* All the other heroes in the movie theater laughing at Robin when he's standing on the stage. Mainly because of them thinking that someone as immature as Robin can never get a movie. The poor guy runs out of the theater crying!

** The August 13, 2018 episide of ''Go!'', "[[http://teen-titans-go.wikia.com/wiki/Tower_Renovation Tower Renovation]]", provided an epilogue -- with the Tower getting destroyed ''[[YankTheDogsChain again]]''.

** How does he get mind-controlled? Because of Slade's MindManipulation, with him doing a DarkReprise of ''[[IronicEcho My Superhero Movie]]''.

** The [[Disney/TheLionKing Lion King]]-style nightmare that follows is just as sad as well as being NightmareFuel.

* Slade destroying the Titans' tower. What makes it sadder is that that's the last we see of it in the movie, implying that it's still destroyed by the end and there's no telling where the Teen Titans could live. Fortunately, the August 13, 2018 episide of ''Go!'', "[[http://teen-titans-go.wikia.com/wiki/Tower_Renovation Tower Renovation]]", provided an epilogue -- with the Tower getting destroyed ''[[YankTheDogsChain again]]''.
