TEEN TITANS! And Teen Titans Go!

This is the appreciation post for the 2003 Teen Titans animated series and Teen Titans Go! which premiered just last year! Share your favorite episodes, characters, quotes, screenshots, and more!

I didn't see one of these already so I thought I'd make one I've been feeling very nostalgic toward the original Teen Titans cartoon lately so I really wanted to discuss it with other people! And I've been hitting TTG! hard lately on the DVR. I have the complete first season on DVD and I recently rewatched most of it and got my brother into it. It's funny because he grew up with the original series like me and he had absolutely no interest in TTG, then he finally sat down and watched it and he loves it now too.

TTG has been a subject of contention between lots of fans. There's the camp who love both (I'm in this one) and the camp who hate TTG because it's not like the original cartoon. Personally, while I agree they're completely different, I love them both. They both have their own charms, and the fact that the original voice cast is doing TTG is just the bee's knees.

Okay, guys, let's discuss! TITANS GO!

Bumping this thread since I've been watching the new episode of TTG! lately and I just made the Raven appreciation thread, so I've got Teen Titans on the mind

Loved the original series. Absolutely hate TTGo! And not just because it's so different from the original.

Was really against Teen Titans Go! at first but I have to admit there have been some enjoyable episodes. Recently say the episde with Rose Wilson. Pretty funny.

[Triple J]

I love TTG. I don't watch it regularly though.

Anyways, I do hate the messed up messages (some episodes might send the wrong message to kids; and I hate the series for that...but it is funny!).

I admit, at first I didn't think I was going to like TTG! at all. When I first saw the character designs and some footage of the first episode, I thought, "Oh no, this is absolutely horrible". But it's really pleasantly surprised me, and I absolutely love it now.

Cool School! One of my favorites of the most recent episodes

Hahaha, I know what you mean. To be fair, I think a lot of newer cartoons do that nowadays. It's sort of become less about the message they send and more about going for the laugh.

STOP SAYING WAFFLES!

The 100th episode airs tonight, which I think is pretty amazing. I honestly don't think the show would have survived this long if the original voice cast hadn't come back for it.

Never really gave the original series a chance, but I love TTG!

Also, big fan of Dan Hipp's art, so I love to see his art style used on all the backgrounds.

I'm kind of the opposite. I liked it at first and thought it was really funny until some of the more recent episodes came off as a slap in the face and insulting to some fans. Some of those stories really felt like they adapted some bad fanfics from the internet. It's really become a disgrace and its kind of sad. My niece and nephew used to love TTGo too, until I pulled out my complete set of original series DVDs and showed them how the series really was.

It's dumb fun. The only weakness in this series is that sometimes it goes too weird for its own taste. Robin being an absolute psycho is fun to watch though.

[Lee Stone]

I loved the original but don't like the new one.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I'm the rare fan who digs both of them. I have not watched it in a while but that maybe due tio other reasons like lack of time than lack of interest.

[Robotman]

I just worry sometimes that TTG is ruining Robin for the next generation of fans. The original cartoon made him out to be super cool and helped to destroy the rep of being the corny superhero in short-shorts and pixie boots. Now kids will see him as a OCD psycho and a total loser. Most of the episodes I've seen make him the butt of every joke.

[Mutant God]

To me I like both because I see its alternate universes, one is serious and the other completely comical, like Batman: The Animated Series and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. TTG is just a Saturday Morning cartoon version of Teen Titans they are suppose to be different.

Loved the original series. Absolutely hate TTGo! And not just because it's so different from the original.

This is exactly how I feel about the two cartoons.
