Teen Titans Season 5 [Posted on 2008-08-28]
A couple of years ago, I wrote to Warner Bros asking them to bring back the great quality of incidental music in their cartoons, quoting Batman TAS, Superman TAS as my favourite examples.
I think they listened. The first two episodes of this season "Homecoming Part 1 & 2" feature a fantastic score of dramatic music, which complements the guest characters: The Doom Patrol. The story shows Beast Boy's connection to his former team, and his divided loyalty between the Doom Patrol and the Titans.
Doom Patrol's enemies the Brotherhood of Evil (led by M'sieur Mallah & Madam Rouge) become the main focus of the Titans for the rest of the season, which sends them on a global quest to sign up honorary Titans galore.
In "Lightspeed", you'll see Kid Flash (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum, who voiced the adult future version of the character in Justice League/Unlimited as The Flash). Lots of other guest characters familiar to DC comics including Red Star (a retooled version of the Russian Starfire from Teen Titans original comic series #18).
This is the best season, and a great way to wrap up the series. Watch out for the surprising final episode, featuring the return of ... I won't spoil it.
Pretty good, but lacking some playfulness... [Posted on 2008-09-08]
Even though I'm pretty old to be watching cartoons like Teen Titans (or so I've been told), I have always found them fun and the stories to be rather smart for a "tweens" show. I especially loved season four with it's dark main story line mixed with incredibly fun filler episodes. The fifth, and final, season took the serious tone of season four and amped it up, perhaps a little too much for the shows good. The worldwide romp the Titans go through and the gathering of all the young super heroes was a good story line, but it left little room for some of the more playful episodes of the previous seasons. In fact, the entire season seemed to be absorbed in the main story line. Not saying that it was bad, in fact it was a pretty good story line, but it just didn't feel as fun as the previous seasons. Especially the last episode of the season, "Things Change," which seemed to end the show on somewhat of a downer. In short, this season is probably best for those fans who are finally in their teen years, but not for the younger ones.
Más y Menos are the best Characters! [Posted on 2008-10-17]
Great series not as Dark as season four but really good. Good to see all the Titans like Jericho etc in the end. Más y Menos RULES!!!
Ahead of it's time [Posted on 2008-11-04]
I don't understand why this series was cancelled. It was very much ahead of it's time. It had great action, just the right amount of comedy mixed in, and perfect storylines. Great for all ages (maybe a little violent for those 1-4 years old). Better than Justice League in my opinion, but very much the same concept if you enjoyed that series.
Final Season Pays Off [Posted on 2008-11-10]
The final season of the Teen Titans pays off the first four seasons by looking both back [Beast Boy's first team and how the Titans came together] and forward [will the Titans endure?]all while maintaining a season-long struggle with The Brotherhood of Evil. The interplay between the Titans stays strong. Two dead foes from the past appear to be back in the coda. The staid Raven comes out of her shell when she babysits three toddler superheroes and their invisible [imaginary?] friend. Dozens of heroes and villains duke it out in the final battle. This animated series amply carries on the decade-long quality tradition begun with The Animated Batman series and Superman the Animated series although less grim in tone and incorporating more anime emotive icons. If this is your first encounter with the Teen Titans,you will find the character-driven tales satisfying - you may even want to get the first four season [if you don't already have them]to enjoy how well the entire series holds together as a cohesive whole.
