Rant: Teen Titans Go! The Fourth Wall
(Hilbert's POV)
All watchers of comic book adaptations may have heard of Teen Titans Go! It was thought to be a continuation of the original Teen Titans, but the moment it hit the air, we all knew it was suppose to be a comedy. The quality is debatable(aka bad), but the show has dedicated three - yes, three - episodes to bashing their older fandom. Peter Rida Michail, Michael Jelenic, and Aaron Horvath, the director and writers of "The Fourth Wall," wrote the episode as if the Titans lives were made into a tv show. After insulting their viewers, they see clips of the original cartoon. Control Freak, the one responsible for the shows, says that he will reboot Go! if they don't shape up. After a didactic tongue-lashing about all the criticisms of the show, nothing happens. Nothing's plot relavant. Nothing good happens.
Um, this episode just said that all the detractors are just nostalgia-loving creeps that don't appreciate all the hard work people put into this show. YOU THREE CHILDISH HACKS. How DARE you insult your viewers. How DARE you insult the very people that hand you money via overpriced cable and satellite tv and any other crap you put out. How DARE you say that we don't appreciate all your hard work, when you constantly show us that you don't give a crap! Take a look at X-Men: The Animated Series. The animation was sometimes subpar, but it made up for it with good storytelling.
You say this is a spin-off of the original, but you never bother look at the original. You do not deserve the talents of Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, Tara Strong, and Greg Cipes. You do not deserved to be burned. I'm going to put this thing in its rightful place, the trash. And since I want to encourage good media, I recommend watching Batman: The Brave and the Bold. As light hearted as it may be, it is still funnier than this crap. Super Best Friends Forever is a series of shorts which are legitimately funny. And they are headed by Lauren Faust.
Editor's Note: Yeah, this episode was bad. So a friend and I wrote this. The original rant was much longer and much more gruesome, so I had to do some censorship to keep the T rating. I also added in some of Linkara's rant from the One More Day review to ease some of the tension.
Go! really butchered characterization. I get why they decided to make Raven and Robin bronies because Tara Strong plays Twilight Sparkle (G4) and Scott Menville played Danny Williams (G1), but come on, did you have to make them such jerks?
Anyways, Like Atop the Fourth Wall, there will be story segments to this. Right after I write them next review.
