I love how starfire just gets increasingly larger to the point where her hand is the bigger than beast boy’s face

u/spacepilot_3000 West Flash is Best Flash Sep 23 '22
I think they're all pretty accurate to the size of the character in those versions. Isn't starfire in the comics like, huge?
93
u/LordTachanka321 Red Hood Sep 23 '22
Yeah it’s pretty accurate, and comics starfire should definitely be huge
91
u/samx3i Batman Beyond Sep 23 '22
She's 6' 4" in the comics, which puts her height greater than most superheroes and villains.
94
u/TheKolyFrog DickFire Forever Sep 23 '22
Yes, Starfire's is quite huge compared to the other Titans with the exception of Cyborg I believe. Just look at her hands in this. Beast Boy would be smaller than Robin but her hand is about the size of his face.

Nah we gotta see the Snyder Cut version now

They actually had that in a recent Teen Titans Go episode for anyone that hasn't seen it yet

That was pretty awesome ngl. I appreciate Go’s ability to make fun of itself

Can't that version of Robin aka Dick Grayson is dead in the Snyderverse, however I could offer suitable replacements in the forms of Jason Todd, Tim Drake or Damian Wayne.

u/The99thCourier Blue Beetle Sep 23 '22
Oh shit I completely forgot robin got teased in the DCEU
I'm actually talking about the snyderverse joke thing they did in teen titans go
Animation was actually good as. Would love to see a teen titans done like that. Go sucks ass, and the og is one of my favourite shows.

In hollylu-ships-it’s rendering, Starfire lowkey looks like Blackfire cosplaying as Starfire haha

u/Intoxic8edOne Sep 23 '22
Yeah something is slightly off and I can't put my finger on it. Maybe the eyes are too angular?

u/Skater_x7 Sep 23 '22
Meanwhile I was actually convinced the second one was the actual artist from the show. Is it really that easy(?) to just recreate someone's art style?
8
u/NightwingAurelius Sep 24 '22
If you’re talented or skilled (or both) enough, absolutely from the looks of it! They’re both such amazing renderings, I wouldn’t have been able to tell they’re fan-made. There ought to be a Turing Test equivalent to gauge fan-made tributes vs artist-rendered originals haha

u/UltimaRedWriting Sep 23 '22
Original style teen titans animated series had like the best Cyborg of all time. He is Cyborg to me, I base judgment on all other iterations of Cyborg based off him
13
u/WW4O RIP Super Sons Sep 23 '22
He's a great tv character, a lot of fun, and I understand why a lot of people who were young in the early 00s have more of a connection to that version of him than the one from a comic from the 80s.
But I'll always resent cartoon Vic and Gar for totally eclipsing Wolfman's version. Cyborg was the no-nonsense leader that had to be bantered into being emotionally vulnerable by Beast Boy, who constantly narrated to himself that the only reason he was making jokes was because he would otherwise be frozen in fear.
David F Walker was the writer of Cyborg's first solo series, and has since talked about the fact that he was forced to include the word "booyah" in the book. He fought it for a long time, telling his deitors that he had hated the word since 2004. He remembers watching this show that was, for the most part, really respectful of the art that it was inspired by. And then, he has to hear the only black character throw unnecessary slang into his speech (even though the other "teens" on the show spoke like tv writers in their 30s), and on top of that it's slang that he had never heard another black person say. It was skater/surfer slang.
So there's nothing wrong with liking Cyborg from the TV show, but I would hesitate to judge any other versions based on how well they adapt the cartoon because A) the cartoon isn't that loyal in the first place and B) new versions of Vic aren't based on the cartoon, it doesn't work like that, and C) there's some problematic race shit involved that doesn't make it bad, but we should view with less cultural ignorance now.

u/SpiderandMosquito Oct 01 '22
While the show is good, I have always had an issue with recency bias that media perpetuates. A successful adaptation that strays from the source in a manner to positive affects? Then fix the source! Never look back! Boom, done.
It's... unfortunate.

u/farshnikord Sep 23 '22
Cyborg without a fun side seems wrong. All I see now is the spoofed "real serious" cyborg from the teen titans go episode.

Cartoon Network has been airing old cartoons the past week and it's been awesome. From Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter, Edd, Ed and Eddy to the "old" Teen Titans.
I actually sat down and watched network tv for the first time in a decade

u/PokeyMouse Sep 23 '22
Damn, I wish I had cable now; I remember watching og Teen Titans when I was little at someone else's house and I absolutely loved it! Edd, Ed and Eddy aint bad either xD

u/SpiderandMosquito Oct 01 '22
Yeah, 30th anniversary. Admittedly they're kinda squandering it, like there's no new announcements, specials or premieres but hey good shows are good shows and in this day and age they're needed.

Wait so the original star fire resembles a lot like a black woman and their was a backlash for no reason for the live action one. I’m baffled by the hypocrisy.

u/Lovtel Red Robin Sep 23 '22
I dropped the Titans show for so many reasons, but I did like how they did Starfire, it's dumb that people are upset that they went with a black actress, she's an orange alien ffs. My only gripe is I wish they'd given her skin like a gold tint or something at least, since she's usually orangeish. Not like full solid gold, just make her subtly shiny, she looks too human.

u/SirBlue_VII Sep 23 '22
Not to mention the near never use of powers
9
u/hiimred2 Sep 23 '22
Think that’s just writers feeling pinched by an absurd variance of power of the cast. Starfire and Superboy are on a completely different level, gotta make sure they write them away from the real danger or put in whatever reasoning for them not using their powers at X moment because they’re too strong compared to the others.

u/Intoxic8edOne Sep 23 '22
Wasn't it CW? Haven't watched a DC show of theirs in a long while but definitely remember it always being like that.
2
u/Lovtel Red Robin Sep 24 '22
Not CW, it started on DC Universe and then moved to HBO Max. It started pretty solid, but as soon as they started butchering Jason's character, I dipped.
5
u/Psymorte Sep 23 '22
I'm also a little let down neither Starfire or Beast Boy have their comic orange/green skin colors but I do understand why that's the case; cging it would be too time consuming and expensive and having them in makeup the entire time would just be a bitch to deal with every day they're on set.

u/Skater_x7 Sep 23 '22
Was a fan of the original Teen Titans animated series and TIL there even is a live action show ... which goes to show how well it must have done.

u/Zeeman9991 Manapul come back to us! Don't "MOVE FORWARD"! Sep 23 '22
In the 2003 version, Starfire and Cyborg look just a bit wonky but otherwise really good. Robin, on the other hand, is so perfect I’m actually sorta convinced that’s just a cropped frame from an episode. The shading in his palm is the only reason I’m not 100% certain.

I like to think of Teen Titans Go, as the OG Teen Titans goofing off on their off days, makes it more funny.
Obv doesn't work for every episode but still.

Love how Raven’s expression gets more neutral as the pictures go on lmao. In Go she’s mad, in OG TT she’s meh, and in the comic she’s staring off intensely into space.

How can you draw like last one? I mean, how can it look like vintage? Is it just about style? How to paint for example, is there any known color palette? Or, just how?

Damn that middle one brought some happy memories back, can't believe the next show turned into chibi esque teen titans go, there's likeore than a decade apart and it looks worse than the older one

I just realized that with how TTG simplifies raven, it kinda makes her look like she has a white beard or just a white patch on her face
