I honestly wasn't expecting much from just hearing that the series was going to focus more on comedy. Don't get me wrong, I don't find anything wrong with comedy, but considering how comedic the original Teen Titans series was, I wasn't holding my breath on it living up to the original series. So, I tried not to go in to watching the series and compare it to the original, but it was too hard not to.
First off, the artwork is horrid, but for what the series is supposed to be, I suppose it works for it. I'm definitely not a fan of this particular art style, which has been seen in other shows.
What killed it the most for me is the poor quality jokes. Ignoring the fact that there is absolutely no decent story line to the episodes, it tries to be funny by making idiotic jokes and singing dumb songs that are some of the lowest quality I've seen in a kid's TV show in a long time. Spongebob's comedy and dumb songs are of a way higher standard than these. I mean, Spongebob has had some dumb stuff, but Cyborg and Beastboy "singing" about pie like that? Horrid.
They said this show was to focus more on the comedy with the team, but it doesn't even come close to the comedy the original series brought (remember when Cyborg, Beastboy, Starfire, and Raven dressed up in Robin's costumes? That was comedy) The only thing that doesn't make me give this series a 1 star is the fact that they have the original voice actors return for it. That's all this series has going for it as of right now. The series is very disappointing and a waste of a time slot for a block dedicated to DC.
(Note: This is all talking about the first two episodes, and of course, these are my opinions.)
