I take back some of my harshness towards it. It can be entertaining, and I like this show's Raven. But that said, I still think it's insulting to fans who were expecting something like the original and people that liked Young Justice.

That said I have a few issues with it, first being the cheap flash style animation, not a huge fan of it. The second is; this show's style is more akin to looney toons or a sit com rather then a show about super hero. The third is just how they keep undermining Robin. I can think of two instances: Gorilla and Super Robin.

Honestly feels as though the person producing this show missed the boat entirely on what people liked about the original Teen Titans(Something I honestly can't tell you what it is since I have no nostalgia for the show). I feel as though if the show didn't have the original cast reprising the roles, no one would give a rat's ass about this show.

Yay! Someone else who was willing to give it a chance.
It's really not as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. While it's not picking up from the original series's cliffhanger ending, it's not a bad show (There's much worse you can watch) and it's rather fun (Girls Night Out is my personal favorite).

My only issue with the show is that Beast Boy tends to be the antagonist more often than not. He went from charming and kind from the original series to a complete asshat, making it hard to like him anymore.

Yeah they do portray Beast Boy as a little douchy sometimes

My favorite douchy moment of Beast boy was when he taught robin how to be Lazy and left the others to die.

Why do I get the feeling that TTG! Beast Boy would probably help make Raven over-emotional while he goes all "Finn the Human" and opens a dark portal to help reunite Raven with her estranged father?

While TTG is never going to be as awesome as the first Teen Titans it's a good show on its own merits. I just hope that what Glen said about action cartoons dying out is just a fear that doesn't come true.

If Lauren Fault can make MLP popular then I have hope he can turn things around with Beware the Batman.

As I continue to watch more of TTG, I noticed another thing I'm not really liking.

At times, the show can feel VERY mean spirited, to the point where it almost makes me feel a little uncomfortable watching.

The only time i saw that was the episode when Robin gained superpowers. I felt bad for him at the end.

There's also the driver's ed episode, where at the end Robin allowed the demon to attack the guy just so he can have the last laugh.

There's the episode with Mother May Eye literally baking people into pies.
It's never acknowledged and we're supposed to support Beast Boy shrugging it off as charming.

I don't hate Teen Titans Go but I will say I don't really think that it should have been DC's attempt to appeal to the MLP crowd. It shows with the humor and animation style who their real target audience is.

As a guy who picks up Tiny Titans off the shelves back in the day, cutesy representations of established characters isn't anything new but its not going to win over fans of the old DCAU as well as fans who were warming up to Young Justice only to be disappointed by its sudden demise.

And I don't buy that the action cartoon genre is dying. I know I'm speaking from a completely ignorant point of view but I think its because most animation studios just don't want to go through the hassle of storyboarding and animating a series with serious tone.
