Titanes

How did I miss knowing about this? Ok, only got Netflix a few months ago, and enjoying a few series very much (Sandman, Umbrella Academy, the Viking one whose name has suddenly escaped me) I STILL missed knowing about this. Then Series 4 was advertised and eureka. Also, as a fan of Comic Book series and having once read Teen Titans many years ago, thought yes, I Know what is coming, may be fun in a gentle, inoffensive way, if done well. WRONG. Incredibly dark, violence not far behind Marvels Punisher series. So I was blindsided, but in a good way. Really enjoyed, extremely well done, excellent cast, and layered storyline. Really takes the 'Dark' inherent in Batmans Gotham, literally. Have to say, enjoyed much more than the Arrowverse attempts at DC. Bring on the next one.

Titans was so much better than I thought it would be! After reading the reviews I wasn't really sure what to expect, there are more positive than negative but it's still pretty mixed so I still wasn't sure. I thought I'd finally give it chance and now that I just finished Season 3 I'd have to say I'm glad that I did because it was really good! It's obviously much more aimed at adults so some might be turned off by that but I like it more because of it. It's too bad that with this HBO merger that Titans got canceled because I thought each season got a little better and there plenty of story still to tell.

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.

Season 1 of the Titans was a breath of fresh air. It was so much different than other dc shows and movies. The season ended in a nice spot and the overall character development was great. Unfortunately they never got to use that momentum. Since then, it's been a steady decline. Specially, the writing and direction of season 3 has been absolutely abysmal.

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.
