Teen Titans Go! Review: The Main Five

PART TWO OF THE RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW

One main issue that many people have with "Teen Titans Go!" aside from the premise, are the main characters. I can definitely see where this comes from. Overall, it would depend on an episode if I would either enjoy the Teen Titans or cannot stand them in the slightest. Generally, since this is a comedy-themed show, there is little chance of ever having character development. However, it would still be interesting to see how the Teen Titans are in this new show. NOTE that I'm mainly going to talk about the negatives of each character, and it doesn't mean I dislike them and that they act like this all the time.



ROBIN- Generally, he can be a good leader, by being alert and competent when fighting crime. However, he can be a jerk and an egocentric in this show. In a few episodes, he would say that he's a superior leader and the only one who matters in the team. However, with those tendencies, I do not hate him. Depending on your opinion on the new Robin, you would either feel bad or not when he gets picked on by the other Titans at times.

STARFIRE- I don't have much issue with Starfire. Some people say she's dumber compared to the original series, but I personally don't see much of that. She may still be naive, but she can have her moments of brilliance. Like the rest of the Titans, she can also have her jerk moments, but it happens pretty rarely, so she is still overall a nice and likable character.

RAVEN- Like Starfire, I don't have much issue with Raven because she's still about the same. However, Raven has shown to be more expressive with emotion in this show, which I actually enjoy seeing. As for the negatives... seeing as this is Raven we're talking about, being a jerk isn't new, but like Starfire, it's not much to the point where it can irritate me.

CYBORG- Compared to the original series, you can notice quite a few changes in the new Cyborg. He's much more of a large ham, meaning he yells a lot more and is more dramatic to things. At times, he can be fun and hilarious about it. Other times, he can be obnoxious and childish. In fact, he can be pretty stupid especially when episodes deal with him and Beast Boy, and that can make me cringe, especially in the episode "Staring at the Future".

BEAST BOY- There's not much to say about Beast Boy. My opinions on him can match Cyborg's, because both of them do things together quite often. That being said, I will have to say Beast Boy is much lazier and has more jerk moments. Episodes like "Ghost Boy", "Gorilla", and "Staring at the Future" are the big examples of this. Outside of this, he can still be funny, and full of heart when it involves Raven or Terra.

Overall, those are my opinions on the main five characters overall. Like I said, I don't hate these characters. I like all of them, but an episode would depend on how their characters are presented. Otherwise, this was still interesting to make, and I would like to know who you like most, and who you like least form this show.
