[QUOTE=Jackalope89;4417053]I will admit, Brenton is about how I would imagine Dick in real life.
The overly violent tendencies of the show though, that's a little different.[/QUOTE]
Haven't watched the show yet. I'll wait for YJ to finish, get a month's sub, and binge stuff then. But is the violence in Titans really overt, or just what vigilantism would actually look like if people really did dress up in costumes and punch criminals into submission?
I mean, in the real world, that's a level of violence you don't (usually) even get in the military.

It's really extreme, stabbing guys in the balls, dragging faces across glass. Really unnecessary stuff. I love stuff like Oldboy, the Raid, John Wick but there is a reason the violence fits those movies but doesn't work here. You can easily do the same idea without it being so in your face about it, the dark and edgy feels so laughably fan filmy.
Sound effects like bone breaking on hits, snapping arms without having a bunch of blood spurt out when it happens conveys the same message as with what Titans was "trying" to do. Like the fight scenes don't feel like a hero trying to subdue a bunch of henchmen or villains but an R rated action star trying to take out as many people as possible without any regard for them, himself or what he's doing. Like he's just there to hurt people and that's about it.

Is anyone else more interested in Titans S2 than YJ? Titans Dick felt more like TNBA Dick and I would love to see more of that. Plus live action Nightwing!

I'm more excited about Garth, Donna and Hawk & Dove than I am of Dick in Titans. :p

Ah, I got ya.
I'll be giving the show a chance when I do eventually get the DCU sub but I haven't been terribly impressed with what little I've seen. Admittedly, that's just the trailers which even the show's fans say are awful. Still, it's Dick, so I'll give it a shot. I'm mostly just there for YJ because my kids and I watched the first two seasons.....though I think my daughter is gonna have to miss this latest one, if it's as bloody as I've heard and the few YouTube clips I've seen are any indication. :(

Hey it’s more raw violence no more panning away no profanity or sex. Everything on SCU is suppose to be for a mature audience
-
Errrr... is it me or did "Ric the Cabbie" need to be lectured on metahumans by one of the wanna-be Nightwings in that last issue (I only skim and scanned it)?.. Sgh...
-
The wanna be Nightwings lecture Ric about everything. But that’s what heroes tend do with their sidekicks.

There's nothing wrong with being mature, the problem is it's poor execution. Also "everything" on DCU is for a mature audience? I'm sure Stargirl is totally aimed towards that. :p

I think [I]Stargirl[/I] will probably be aimed at the same audience as, say, [I]Flash[/I] and [I]Supergirl. [/I]

Of course, I wouldn't necessarily call that a mature audience though.

Pre-ordered Titans S1 for bluray. It's coming out in a few weeks so I'm hyped about that.
