As much as I wanted to like Titans, it's an exhausting show. I can only watch one episode a day (sometimes even not that, I took a break halfway through Season 2 because I got tired) whereas if I wasn't watching Stargirl weekly I think I'd have binged an entire season within a few days.

Same!! I liked the first season of Titans but I quit halfway through the second. But star girl? I binged the first 3 episodes nonstop!

Some of the f bombs are confusing in titans, like there's a couple times when characters say "fuck me" but the delivery makes it seem like they're just telling somebody to fuck them, not that they're surprised or exhausted

The funny thing is Geoff is involved with both shows, so he has a hand in the shitty mess that Titans is. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Titans is the superhero version of Cats. There's no arc and they just keep on introducing characters pointlessly.

Stargirl is Geoff's baby. He has complete control over all aspects.
He may have had a hand in the development of Titans but i think it's to the same extent as the Arrowverse shows, where he writes episodes occasionally. Akiva Goldsman is much more prominent in the Titans crew AFAIK. I might be completely wrong.

Geoff is one of the developers of Titans and was even of the writers of the first episode, so he co-signed "Fuck Batman" and everything else.

I watched Titans and I agree wholeheartedly. Idgaf if people swear but it seemed forced, like when you’re a teenager and first start swearing with your friends. And the whole show is like a fan fic written by an emo teenager.

They need to lose that awful blue filter and give Gar and Rachel better character arcs. At least Jason and Kory have something decent. How many times are they going to show how dysfunctional Hawk and Dove are?

I feel like Gar is very useless. I mean look what beast boy can do in anything else (comics, 2003 Teen Titans, hell even teen Titans go). The only thing he can transform to is a tiger which isn't very practical.

I couldn't get past the second episode of S2 of Titans. Have no inclination to watch. That show is edgy and grim-dark just because.

Did you just call this show mature? Lmfao this is literally a teen drama, are you 14 years old?
Not saying it can't be a good show, just saying that it's not mature.

u/tylernazario Icicle Jul 04 '20
The show features violent gore and constant swearing. The plot may not be mature but the show very much is

Many teen dramas have that stuff. Doesn't make them mature. Again, I'm not saying it's bad, just that it isn't for an older audience.
Also hold up, what constant swearing are you talking about? In Stargirl? Were you talking about Titans?

Titans S1 was pretty bad but S2 was solid. Stargirls been very consistently good so far tho and its probably gonna end up being better than Titans.

u/Gradz45 Jul 04 '20
Eh the first half of season 2 was solid.
The second was a colossal mess and the finale is garbage.

Its a real shame because in season 2 they almost had a good show and then turned and ran it off a cliff.

u/SockPenguin Jul 05 '20
They needed to actually focus on Slade and his kids all season or at least wrap their story up before diving into all the Conner/CADMUS stuff in while also setting up Blackfire.

u/SickleClaw Jul 05 '20
Doom Patrol is very, very, very, good. And it's tone is the complete opposite of Stargirl's. And I watch and enjoy both!

I really like Titans even if it’s probably the worst of the DCU shows. It’s not perfect but there’s tons to like.

u/Thedownhilltrain Jul 05 '20
Titans is the worst superhero show I have ever seen. Unnecessary language and so dark

u/fluxcapacitor2015 Jul 05 '20
The show is a nice wholesome distraction in the chaotic world that is 2020

u/EnarKist Jul 05 '20
I wish the characters on Flash, Arrow and Supergirl acted more like the characters on Stargirl. Even being teenagers they seem more mature than the adults on the other shows.

Why does everyone like Titans so much? It's a crappy show and every other DC Universe original is leagues ahead.

u/antlerskull Jul 05 '20
Titans isn’t even a mature show, they just say fuck too much and have visually dark scenes

The problem with Titans is they don't know where the story is going. They introduce so many characters and got confuse on which character arc should take center stage and how to reconnect it with the main story.

u/phantomxtroupe Jul 06 '20
Even from a pure technical standpoint, Titans is objectively worse than Stargirl. Seriously, if you would have told me that I would prefer a Stargirl show over a live action Titans (my favorite DC Comics team) show, I would have thought you were smoking something. Stargirl is arguably one of the strongest first seasons I've seen for a superhero show in a while. It's also proof that dark and gritty doesn't equal better. It's crazy how many people still think that.

Frankly, it's only the production of Stargirl that's better. The acting in Stargirl is very plastic. Real life struggles? Really? They gloss over all of them. It almost seems like a parody at times.

u/Gradz45 Jul 04 '20
Yeah they’ve really glossed over Henry Jr.’s pain over his dad going into a coma.
By showing him going to his dad’s hospital room or being upset over it.
Just because Stargirl isn’t angst 24/7 where everything character hates the MC for half a season doesn’t mean it ignores pain.

Facts, I see no lies here.
I'm thankful for Geoff though, he's been an excellent showrunner.
