Titans

Season 2 is bad. Just tons of internal conflicts, and several characters acting like psychopaths, idiots or some combination of that. In almost all of the season nothing happens at all. Some quite horrible choices made in this season. What a waste!!

Live action is overrated. Instead, go watch Young Justice. The plot is infinitely better than in Titans.

It wasn't as edgy as I thought it would be. Actings wasn't as weird as I thought it would be. The choreography wasn't as fake as I thought it would be. CGI didn't look as bad as I thought it would be. Production didn't look as cheap as I thought it would be. Editing wasn't as sloppy as I thought it would be. Dialogues weren't as cheesy as I thought it would be. Interactions are promising. Narrating is captivating. The build-up is looking good. Developments are on point. The episodes actually make sense. The show isn't overly edgy. It has a gritty and realistic take on and it works. I really didn't expect this. I hope they won't spoil this in the future, and raise their bar, it has really good potential. Just don't be fooled by the trailers like i was.

So, just finished the last episode of the first season. And they delivered. There were some awkward moments throughout the season, some scenes definitely could've executed differently, some introductions could've served better, the writing and directing was meh, but as a whole, it was a decent season. This universe is definitely worth your time.

The main weakness this show has is the writing. Though overall it's acceptable, there is a major lull in a few episodes of the first season where they are trying to introduce characters with upcoming series of their own. I think this is the first time I've seen this done in a shows first season, and it doesn't work.

The actors all seem to have good chemistry and it shows, though hard core fans will be disappointed as pretty much all the characters have been drastically altered from the source material.

As for Starfire, I don't care what color the skin the actor portraying her has, as long as she can act. The answer is that Anna Diop can act, however she is stymied by the script she is given.

I wasn't expecting an Emmy caliber show, as long as the writers don't eventually sink the show, the actors seem to be doing a good enough job with a so-so script.

To be honest, the trailer sucked and all of the hype had me super worried. I tried to go into the show with an open mind expecting something crappy. I was pleasantly surprised. Interesting story, characters, deep DC tie-ins, and overall very enjoyable. Before you watch it, definitely take note of the title "Titans" without the usual "Teen." This is not Teen Titans and plenty of liberties are taken, but if you are a fan of the superhero genre and DC/Batman content specifically, you will not be disappointed.

Now that James Gunn has taken over the DC cinematic universe, I hope that we get a Dick Grayson full feature film with a larger budget than Titans.

With that being said, here is my rating breakdown:

Season 1 = 8.0 Season 2 = 8.0 Season 3 = 7.0 Season 4 = 6.0

In season 4, they really missed the mark with casting Franka Potente as Mother Mayhem, who is by far the weakest link. The lair set design for Mother Mayhem was awful. I've seen better set design at Universal Studios in Orlando. Some episodes of season 4 are a great cinematic experience, while other episodes are very amateur CW Network-ish.
