So Jason Todd was Red X.
What happened to Terra and what was the white monster at the end? Just watched a video theorizing that
- When Trigon was defeated and all of the stone people were freed, Terra got freed with them. That'd be some Buffy-esque shenaningans.
- Terra does remember Beast Boy but is actively, intensely trying to abandon her past and reinvent herself. The episode makes this point a little hard to understand when you're young, as Slade and Beast Boy argue and Slade supports the view point that Terra doesn't want to remember. You want to be on BB's side and assume Slade did something. Terra's side is that she just isn't the same person and BB is wrong. Given how this show adapts characters differently (see Red X) its not hard to imagine this Tara is just a lookalike, and the franchise ends here with no definite answer.
- Heck, the Trigon freeing her thing is just speculation. Let's reframe that - the show never gives any explanation for how or why Terra would be free. She just is. The statue of her is gone.
- The white monster was a metaphor for the episode's title and theme of "things changing" as the monster was adapting to/changing things around it.
The real mystery that remains though?
- What the heck did Robin have in that briefcase?

The monster felt like a prelude for some new arc we won't see, showing how there are new threats in the city that grew while the Titans were on a world tour.
And I always figured that what was on the briefcase was important to Robin personally, like old Haley's Circus memorabilia or the like. And the villains think he had, like, a secret Bat arsenal in there or something.
Wake me up at your own risk.I think the monster is supposed to be just a threat that the Titans couldn't handle without Beast Boy. It also works as an embodiment of the episode's theme of change and adaptation to current circumstances.
I always thought the briefcase was supposed to be a nod to Pulp Fiction. It's just a plot device with some added mystery and intrigue by not revealing its contents.
Latest blog update (November 5th, 2022).Yeah. The Briefcase itself wasn't important. It's that Robin was willing to show it to them (after being shown to keep secrets previously, like the entire debacle with Red X) that mattered.
One Strip! One Strip!So does anybody remember the episode where that silver dude Valior came in and started being racist towards Starfire?
I'm watching a review of that episode and holy crap I do not remember this episode.
That one's one of the most praised episodes of the show from what I remember from online discourse, as it doesn't beat you over the head with its Very Special message and didn't go for the low hanging fruit of Cyborg facing discrimination (though he mentions he did in the past).
Oissu!I just remembered that Lightspeed (Kid flasj x Jinx was a thing,that's it thats the summary for this video it's those two characters
also the voice actors for Kid Flash are Billy West Michael Rosenbaum and Lauren Tom (Amy Wong)

have a listen and have a link to my discord serverI actually remember quite a bit of backlash for that racism episode, considering the implication that Star wiped out those robot things. They’re supposedly a mindless Horde of Alien Locusts, but… all we have on that is the word of Racist Captain Atom. Maybe they were sentient and had a perfectly legitimate grievance with him?
Also, I think there was another Star-focused episode whose ending unintentionally created the implication that Blackfire was raped by her Hutt-like accomplice? I once heard someone say that twenty years AGP’s wacky gag can easily become today’s Me Too situation, and I definitely got that vibe from that episode - especially since not-Hutt-guy wasn’t punished at all despite being just as guilty of the evil plan as Blackfire.
It’s been a while since I watched that episode but didn’t they just banish Blackfire from Tameran? Blackfire asks where she’s supposed to live now and the slime alien motions to himself. Considering he was scheming to get Starfire to marry him he might want something like that but he can’t really force Blackfire to do anything.
They probably also banished the slime-alien from Tameran but he didn’t live there in the first place so it doesn’t matter much.
As far as the racism episode goes: That “is” kind of worrying, but while Val-Yor acts racist towards Starfire he never tries to get her killed or anything, so it’s probably best to assume he was telling the truth about the robot aliens.

They don't find out Beast Boy has a real name until like Season 4, meaning they went around calling each other codenames the entire show.
As for the Blackfire thing, there's no real issue there. The plot of that episode was that Blackfire would stage an alien invasion to strong-arm Starfire into marrying the green slime guy. She was banished from Tamaran, but the slime guy wasn't actually as bad as he seemed, he was part of the conspiracy.

I fricking knew it
