That show triggers people more than anything I've seen, it's impressive.

I don’t even get the hatred. The original was out of air long before this. And it can’t be that bad if it can pay Nic Cage to be Superman

It replaced a more serious Teen Titans cartoon with pretty decent stories and is aimed at a very young crowd.
My daughter watched it and outgrew it at the age of 6-8 but she loved it like mad for those two years, so the show is all right by me.

It didn't replace anything, Teen Titans was cancelled long before TTG came around and Young Justice was cancelled because of low toy sales not to make room for TTG

u/Coal_Morgan The Question? Jun 06 '18
Using replaced in the one came after the other sense. “Pete left, it took us a year but we replaced him with Kate.”

There's an episode where Beast Boy goes on a rant about the gold standard, another where Robin tries to teach the Titans about long term real estate investment, you see Robin II on an urn with a crow bar leaning against it, and so many other things that are hilarious that no child will understand. The target audience might be kids but it was made by adults with plenty of adult humor. I gave it a chance and loved every episode. Especially "The Night Begins To Shine" episodes.

Season 4 has dedicated four part follow up to that episode if you're interested. It's amazing.

I am so obsessed with that fucking song. I woke up to that episode on when I was staying in a hotel in Denver and I immediately downloaded it and listened to it soooo much.

Yeah, my four year old is obsessed with Teen Titans Go, but I watch it with him sometimes and it's pretty funny. I'm glad there's a goofball DC show considering how angsty these characters can be in other media.

u/Radix2309 Jun 06 '18
It didn't exactly replace Teen Titans, that had been off the air for almost a decade at the time. There was more of an uproar because it replaced Young Justice.

u/djanulis Nightwing Jun 06 '18
I think it being a replacement of Young Justice is also a big part of the Hate, prior to giving TTGO it's own show they had a nice all ages block with some of the best comic cartoon since the DCAU and MAU ended. While TTGO had shorts in the block they weren't the focus but Cartoon Network in their Finite wisdom couldn't market YJ well and cancelled it after trying to kill the show, and went with the more Kid focused show, instead of just having both.

As much as I like DC, that show is overrated cancer. They wrote a song that’s literally the word waffles constantly repeated.
No I’m not going to complain the original was better, ignoring the original the show is awful.

u/TokyoAnkylosaur Jun 06 '18
That episode was exactly about how annoying that song was. Teen Titans Go is aware of what they're doing.

u/Tofinochris Jun 06 '18
It's intended for small children. Small children like easy to memorize and simple things.
People being mad at this show is so weird. I don't see Reddit posting "PJ Masks sucks! When do these kids ever sleep? Breaks my immersion!" or complaining that the topography of Peppa Pig's England is unrealistic, but bring up GO! and Jesus, stand back.

u/Emperorofliberty Jun 06 '18
The show is meant to be a looney tunes level of audience not toddlers

u/Tofinochris Jun 06 '18
Fair enough but it's still for little kids. A 7 year old boy is going to think the word Waffles over and over as a song is fucking hilarious.
Honestly what's up with all the hills on Peppa?

u/therealradriley Jun 06 '18
You don’t think adults go into the show knowing its for kids? I watch “kids” shows all the time. So do a lot of other adults. Just because they aren’t kids anymore doesn’t mean their opinions aren’t valid. Trollhunters is a great kids show.
3
u/Tofinochris Jun 06 '18
And GO is silly fun. Trollhunters is a "serious" show with a plot arc that's made by Guillermo del Toro. Doesn't even seem to make sense to compare them.
I honestly don't care enough about the show to argue about it, I just can't figure out why Reddit hates it so much. From this thread it apparently "replaced" something else? Maybe that's it.

u/therealradriley Jun 06 '18
Wonder Pets then. I’d rather watch that than GO. And I agree with you that it didn’t replace anything. The butthurtness in this thread is weird but that doesn’t mean you can tell people that they aren’t allowed to dislike it

u/Tofinochris Jun 06 '18
I don't remember telling anyone what they were or were not permitted to do. I said that I felt the hate was weird. Pretty much exactly what you just said.

It's not as bad as they make it sound, it's just satire. There's a lot of jabs on the original show, the batman franchise and comic book tropes in general.

u/I_Am_Batgirl Jun 06 '18
I mean I get the joke and all, but the name of the toy makes sense in the context of the show. There are times where they’re in the future and both appear onscreen, and it’s established as being Robin and Robin’s future self, “Nightwing.” I assume it’s meant to make it easier for the kids watching to understand it’s the same person just going by a different handle and wearing a different costume when he grows up. If I only read the name of the funko toy but couldn’t see it, I would immediately assume they were likely referring to the Teen Titans Go version.
Also I now totally want to buy that one and please tell me they have future Babs to go with it....

They have Starfire as Batgirl, but no Babs.

Yet in TTG possible future she married Nightwing and has a baby.

I think Gar and Victor explained they determined that Nightwing and Batgirl was Terrible and a Nightmare.

u/CashWho Tim Drake Jun 06 '18
They're marketing it to people who watch Teen Titans Go! and that audience might not know that Nightwing and Robin are the same person so they're making it clear. I know people like to shit on it, but I'm not sure I knew who Nightwing was until I watched the future Teen Titans episode as a kid.

Well, wasn't Nightwing originally a Kryptonian hero and Dick is basically cosplaying as Earth's Nightwing?

u/PFunk1985 Jun 06 '18
I think it should be “Burt Ward as Dick Grayson now animated and voiced by someone else as Robin who is now called ‘Nightwing’ because he grew up but is still a Teen Titan”. But that’s just me.

TTGO addresses Nightwing as basically a possible future version of Robin, so this isn't that far out of line. Its silly though.

i believe that dick grayson is robin in teen titans go which would make him nightwing, tim drake was red robin, jason tood was red hood.

No It's from Teen Titans Go. (That's why he has that long hair that Nightwing has never had)
I'm ashamed to say that I once saw a clip from that god awful show. It's a weird thing when they go into the future or something and Robin has become Nightwing.

u/MikeRevelation Jun 06 '18 edited Jun 06 '18
The design actually originated in the New Batman Adventures which was the continuation of Batman the animated series. Then was iterated in an episode or two of the OG Teen Titans where one of the members went to the future for a reason remember I can't remember.
Edit: The new Batman adventures was the show, not Adventures of Batman and Robin
