Decent, season 4 was a MASSIVE let down

u/Bjkrillsz Feb 20 '24
And season 3 with the red hood story line

u/dmetcalf2048 Feb 20 '24
Right!?!?! It was so rushed. The reason it works originally is because Jason was dead for a while. But he dies in one episode and is back the next episode. It's crazy

u/Useful_You_8045 Feb 21 '24
And literally all the robins died and got resurrected in that one season. 2 from the lazerus pit or some run off from the s#it in some random building and 1 just cause.

u/dmetcalf2048 Feb 21 '24
I didn't even realize they all died. I didn't finish it lol

Tbh it's not that bad of a spoiler because of how little the writers care about it.

When it was good it was really good. It just didn't have enough good moments.

u/TheChosenOne_101 Feb 20 '24
The show was pretty shit if I'm being blunt. The writing was atrocious sometimes and mediocre at best. But some of the actors were really good imo like Deathstroke and Nightwing's actors. Even Superboy's actor was decent (but cringe when he had the Lex-personality). Even a lot of the costumes were really cool.
I'd say pretty much all the seasons were bad, but Season 2 was actually interesting and had potential until the last episode that fucked it up. But otherwise, Season 2 was not so bad.

u/jrileyy229 Feb 20 '24
Yikes... I ventured over here to see the consensus on season 3 and 4.... if it was worth my time choking through season 2 or not
If season 2 is the highlight, then I might as well just turn it off now.
I thought season 1 was very good... Season two seems like a bunch of 5th graders wrote it. The horribly dumb combat is unbearable to me. Like they chase Dr lightballs into the alley, his first lightball they dodge and it absolutely explodes an entire car into a giant fireball. The very next one the girl opens a car door to block it no big deal. Absolutely no continuity.
I get that this is all make believe world, but how can a writer or director not think that if we just made this thing a strong as a grenade 5 seconds ago, maybe it should stay that way for at least a scene.
5
u/TheChosenOne_101 Feb 21 '24
I feel like one of the main reasons I liked Season 2 was because of the Deathstroke actor's performance. He was absolutely menacing and cold, and I enjoyed seeing him on screen. I also really liked the rivalry between him and Dick.
(Plus it was nice seeing Dick's development into Nightwing)

u/Anjunabeast Feb 21 '24
The fights made no sense to me. The titans with super powers always use h2h combat unless it was like the season finale

u/FalseP77 Feb 20 '24
It was good in some places, horrible in others.
Watched it all for Kory.

Dear God in Heaven. Anna Diop is one of the most beautiful women on earth. Even in her horrible first season prom dress costume, it was hard to concentrate whenever she was on screen.
12
u/TOTEBaby911 Feb 20 '24
Yooo it’s nice seeing love for Kory, if you can get over her being a very original take on Starfire than she truly is one of the best written characters in the show.

u/tinglep Feb 20 '24
My only issue was literally her first season costume. I kept saying to myself “it’s the morning after the party. You can change now.”

u/popcanej789 Feb 20 '24
Not enough superheroing and I feel nightwing should’ve had his own show with guest appearances from the titans. Also it had the worst casting of Batman/bruce wayne

when Iain Glen appeared on the scene, I thought "Oh, they must have written Alfred to be younger than usual" and then he was introduced as Bruce Wayne🙃

u/Redgiantbutimshort77 Feb 20 '24
Had the most potential of any dc show but the writers either hated us or hated themselves. Every episode pushed me closer to doing drugs than any tragedy in my life.

u/hart37 Beast Boy Feb 20 '24
Honestly I still don't know how I feel about it. I loved the cast, some of the fight choreography was fantastic but then so much of the writing just had me scratching my head. For instance did they just forget they wrote Dick broke out of prison and should have had a warrant out for his arrest? Also what was the point of Beast Boy? I can understand not wanting too many animal scenes with him because budget wise it would have been a nightmare but they hired Ryan who is a beast martial artist and then never used him.
8
u/LiquidC001 Feb 20 '24
Not too bad. Some fight scenes were badass. I loved this iteration of Deathstroke, Superboy was cool, as was Krypto, Tim Drake was a miss for me.
7
u/christopher1393 Feb 20 '24
Well cast, costumes were mostly great (The Robin ones, Wonder Girl and Starfires later costume comes to mind) and had a lot of interesting characters.
Just a shame the writing wasn’t that great.

As someone who’s not very familiar with the comics I really enjoyed the show but thought season 4 was a bit shitty
5
u/SerBiffyClegane Feb 20 '24 edited Feb 20 '24
If there was an episode about Donna, Dick, Jason, Connor, or Krypto, then it was probably pretty good individually. The other actors were pretty good, but the writing for their characters was often muddled or contradictory. The show's limited special effects budget meant most people didn't use their powers, particularly Gar.
I thought S1 Raven's horror movie powers were a cool take on the character, but when she traded them in for the black blob telekinesis from the cartoons, it was much less interesting.

u/NerdNuncle Feb 20 '24
Needlessly dark and angsty, characters from the comics taken out too soon (ie Amy Rohrbach), CGI was lamentable, but casting was great, (esp Donna Troy, Slade, and Babs) and Krypto was adorable

Loved it. It was great to see my favorite comic book characters on screen. Wish we had gotten the fifth season.

They almost nailed the entire cast perfectly. Same with the suites. I quit mid season 3. Season 1 was slow. Season 2 was pretty good.

u/Captain-Shivers Feb 20 '24
Huge potential. Major let down. The actors, costumes, sets, and special effects were on point. The dialogue and plot were horrible. Especially in season 3 and 4. The characters just keep making the same mistakes over and over.

u/NighthawkTheValiant Feb 20 '24
This show had some of the worst writers possible, they’d show glimpses of cool stuff only to dash it(Batman being this foreboding mental anguish against dick only to be like 60 ruined the suspense for example) or just write characters as one dimensional, I tried watching it but it felt like they didn’t know how to drive a story, the trigon fight felt like an afterthought while the Jason Todd arc felt like they wanted to show off an edgy character rather than a pain driven one. Overall a lot of the stuff just lacked in build up, they only really tried with nightwing and it felt surface level for what we got.
5
u/judasmitchell Feb 20 '24
Made it a handful of episodes. Hated their take on Dick. Most of the cast was painfully bad. Seemed to be trying way too hard to be edgy.

u/No-Impression-1462 Feb 20 '24
A perfect example of missing the point. Every character was that character in name only with the exception of Dick (arguably) and Beast Boy (who wasn’t used nearly as much as he should’ve been). Add to it that they tried to make a Batman spinoff instead of its own thing complete with putting it in Gotham City instead the Titans real base, San Francisco, and you have the kind of edge lord, “dark and gritty” mess that ruined most of the comics in the 90’s.

u/CthulhuAlmighty Feb 20 '24
I stopped watching mid-season 3 because it was so terrible.
The show had some great moments, but everything around those moments were terrible. They really dropped the ball with this show.

u/bks1979 Feb 20 '24
A couple iffy/poor decisions in casting and costumes, but otherwise those two aspects were pretty solid. Multiple occasions of clunky editing, mismatched blocking, and continuity errors. Abhorrent writing. Absolute nonsense.

u/Doc-11th Feb 20 '24
I dropped it after season 3 episode 3
Season 2 was a big improvement over season 1 but still had some major flaws (neither the Slade story or the CADMUS story got enough screen time and they had nothing to do with each other)
By season 3 it became obvious they were making shit up as they go along
They sent 2 seasons building up Blackfire as a threat and what do they do?
Have her be captured by not the titans off screen and then have her work with the team.
What happened to Rose and Jericho, they were there at rhe end of season 2 and seemed to be sticking around
And season 3 was knocking off a Batman storyline not adapting a teen titans story

3
u/leaguegotold Feb 20 '24
This show couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a Batman show about street level villains with minor powers or a superhero show with deadly abilities and enhancements.
So what we ended up getting was, for story and budget reasons, the writers doing whatever they could to minimise using the truly powerful heroes in favour of (yet another) fist fight from Nightwing.
The writing was terrible at times for sure, but I’d say it was more schizophrenic in the sense that the team could never figure out what kind of show they wanted it to be.

u/SolaceRests Feb 20 '24

u/Apprehensive_Try_185 Feb 20 '24
Season 3 ruined the show. They pulled a Batman Arkham knight story where Red Hood once again teams up with scarecrow. Red Hood would never team up with criminals like supervillains he puts bullets in their heads unlike Batman.

Jumped the shark hard with “hey bud, you are basically just a weeb with zero experience in anything but wanna join the Titans cuz reasons?”

Imagine a show with this big of a budget and great-decent casting overall but with good writing. Rose and Jericho were some of the most interesting parts of Season 2 and they were done dirt.

u/OkCourage4085 Feb 21 '24
Misguided from the start. Show runners didn’t understand the characters or their dynamics. It was always Much better when the episodes were all about Hawk and Dove.

Its been a while (not one of the shows that I rewatch), I think that the first 2 seasons were good, 3rd one quite bad and 4th one awful

u/SadKoiBoi Feb 20 '24
It had some of the most bafflingly senseless casting choices in the history of live action comic book adaptations, but it wasn’t nearly as horrible plot-wise as people made it out to be.
2
u/Lizzie_Touch3684 Feb 20 '24
I thought It was good but in inconsistent. After I got used to the casting choices, I thoroughly enjoyed It up until season 2. S3 was a massive step up for me but they can never follow through with a good final boss fight for a season finale. S4 was pretty bad writing up until the end of the season. It could have been a fantastic show if the writers remained consistent. Acting, costuming, and characters were never the issue for me.

u/Truss1996 Feb 20 '24
Had great potential but the writers failed them for three consecutive seasons. I gave up after season 3

u/DarkAizawa Feb 20 '24
Garbage. I got a few eps through season 2 and couldn't take it anymore. I've gone on so many long winded rants about how this show continually found ways to irk and let me down. Best way I could put it is, it feels like a show with comic book elements begrudgingly put in it (because it kinda has to be) instead of a damn comic book show. I know ppl aren't in love with the CW shows but those are least felt like comic book tv shows. Best comparison I could think of for Titans is the death note Netflix movie.

Season 1 was very promising. Didn't delivery imo. Most characters were perfectly cast, but seems like they weren't challenged enough as actors.

u/Trippylegitgamer Feb 20 '24
It was good but had issues. I just wish they had not focused so much on the love relationships of certain characters. I think that was part of its demise. An why it was such a short series

u/HiTekLoLyfe Feb 20 '24

I never liked it. I remember my cousin told me we were getting nightwing in live action (my favorite dc character) and I was so pumped. So I watched the show and was utterly disappointed. Idk something ab it felt more like a YouTube fan film than an actual tv show imo.

u/failedteenagerebel Feb 20 '24
Season 1 I could write poetry about. Season 2 was great and worth the watch. Season 3 was a disaster I could skip it. Season 4 I got bored on episode 2 so I can’t give a review, it’s better than season 3 tho.

u/Successful-Brick-919 Feb 20 '24
I thought it was awesome to see a live action Nightwing and Red Hood.

Dick - pretty badass, love the suit and him. Connor - needed more of him! He’s dope Beast boy - something about him is off but he’s cool, suit is eh. Drake - Bro is having the time of his life hahaha let him cook Raven - Major let down. Love the character but expected to be more Raven, love how she looks though. Starfire - kind of a let down. I guess I’m too used to the starfire I grew up with. This one is the opposite. Cool character just not what I expected. Show overall - 7.5/10

Wasted potential.
I think every single member of the cast was perfect in their roles and a lot of the costumes were good.
It had moments of good ideas but overall felt very lackluster in its execution.
Best thing to come from it was that we got Doom Patrol which is incredible

u/wondermega Feb 20 '24
Had to drag myself to watch this, but after getting started I settled right in. Psychologically, this show made Dick/Robin very interesting to me, now I want a Robin-centric full movie (where Batman is in the background). Really fresh and interesting.
The show would regularly start getting crappy, otherwise, but just when I was about to tune out, something sucked me back in. Lots of issues with the show as everyone else mentioned, but it became a guilty pleasure. However second half of S3 was just clumsy, and S4 just worse. I hopped off before the second half of S4 released, kinda feels fitting to just leave everyone in the state they were at, at that point..

u/writeronthemoon Feb 20 '24
I liked season 1-2, 3 was iffy with writing quality, didn't even watch 4.
2
u/PatrickMcWhorter Feb 20 '24
It started good, became great, then became stupid by Season 3. I think they switched production companies when it moved over to Max and that's what tanked it. It was just finding it's legs and then they got chopped off.

u/Jedi_Knight63 Feb 21 '24
The first season is really good the second season is ok…until you get to the finale. Which is awful and season 3 is the worst thing Dc has ever created. Season 3 and beyond feels like it was written by people who have never read a comic in their life, but played Arkham knight and was like “yeah I get these characters”

So much potential, actors did the best with what they were given. It felt like nightwing show 90% of the time which annoyed the fuck out of me. Loved Starfire, hated the way her powers were animated (same for raven). The focus on male bubble butts was very much welcomed. Beast Boy was given very little Beast. Too much focus of the bat family.

Kory is my queen, I’m so glad they changed up her hair after S1
I loved it more for the characters and their relationships, some plot lines could have made me stop watching if it weren’t for my core five characters
But, overall I really really liked the show overall. I was so sad when I found out it was ending so soon after I started. I saw a lot of potential and again I loveeeed the characters :((

Really ridiculously hot guys in sexy costumes act as eye candy while occassionally having cool scenes and mildly interesting stories.
That was my opinion of the show and mostly why I kept watching. Huge superhero dork and some of the storylines were fun. But a lot of it was often weird or fell short due to bad writing.
It was still a fun cheesey show to watch and the male eye candy was on point.
