History YMMV / Titans2018

* OlderThanTheyThink: Although the short hair Starfire is wearing ''is'' new, Starfire having curly hair, on the other hand, is something that was present in her early years[[note]]albeit it was not the same type as she's seen wearing here[[/note]]. Thanks to AdaptationDisplacement from a combination of her portrayal in the comics in recent years and both [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans animated]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo series]], more people are likely to associate her with the straight hair she's shown having in those (most prominently the 2003 series).

** The Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} fandom has warmly welcomed the show, especially ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' fans who are hoping that Creator/ManuBennett's Slade Wilson could be {{transplant}}ed over.

** With the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fanbase, since this show and ''Outsiders'' are the first two originals announced for the Creator/DCUniverse. It also helps that both franchises were [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwed over]] by Turner-owned networks; Creator/{{TNT}} backed out of ''Titans'', while Creator/CartoonNetwork cancelled ''Young Justice'' (and nearly every other DC-based show). Many are looking forward to both shows, and often share the same communities.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Few could've guessed that the main villain of ''Titans'' would be the Acolyte, best known in the comics as the antagonist to their successor team ComicBook/YoungJustice.
* WinTheCrowd: Robin's [[https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1733440/first-look-at-robin-from-dcs-titans-tv-show-is-everything-we-wanted official costume reveal]] got people excited for looking modern yet faithful and movie-quality. The same happened with the official reveal of ComicBook/HawkAndDove's [[https://www.cbr.com/titans-first-look-hawk-dove/ outfits.]]

* WTHCostumingDepartment: Besides Starfire's questionable outfit, the set photo leaks drew complaints since she, Beast Boy and Raven were not [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation orange, green and grey]]. Anna Diop has stated that the leaks were not representative of the actual costumes. The latter's outfits are more or less spot on for CivvieSpandex (if that is indeed the intention, given that these are contextless set photos) but their normal skin tones look off because of that. (Though in Raven's case, her grey skin only started with [[InkStainAdaptation the cartoon,]] and the comics have gone back and forth in [[RetCanon copying it.]])

* InternetBackdraft: Leaked photos for Starfire's design for the show were harshly panned and torn apart by the Internet. Beast Boy and Raven also got flak, though not to ''quite'' the same extent. [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BhfCnkEnwGO/ Starfire actress Anna Diop clarified that the leaked photos were misleading and out of context.]]

* WTHCastingAgency: Raven being played by thirteen year old Teagan Croft has gotten this reaction, as people feel she's ''too'' young for the character who is traditionally around sixteen, especially given the age gap with her fellow cast members.

* InternetBackdraft: Starfire's design for the show was harshly panned and torn apart by the Internet. Beast Boy and Raven also got flak, though not to ''quite'' the same extent.

** For the very, VERY large HateDom of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', and for fans of both the comics and the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans 2003 animated series]], the mere ''existence'' of this series is considered an example of this trope, especially by those hoping for a [[DarkerAndEdgier more darker]] take on the Titans.

* NetworkToTheRescue: TNT might have axed the project, but DC saw enough value in ''Titans'' to revive the project for their streaming platform.

* InternetBackdraft: Starfire's design for the show was panned and torn apart in online reactions.

** This was also the general reaction, combined with WTHCostumingDepartment, [[https://twitter.com/badpostitans/status/984057806738415618/photo/1 when unofficial pictures of Starfire were leaked]]. Even the people who had no issue with the RaceLift almost unanimously reacted to her wig and outfit with horror.

** This series is this for the many, MANY people who are tired of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' and want a darker and more serious portrayal of the Teen Titans on the screen again.

** With the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fanbase, since they're sister shows on the Creator/DCStreamingService as the first two originals announced, and both were ScrewedByTheNetwork in the past (TNT prevented ''Titans'' from ever being made on their network, CN cancelled ''Young Justice'' out of nowhere). Many are looking forward to both shows, and often share the same communities.
