Remember the 90s? When comics were all dark, and the gimmick was “grim and gritty?”
Apparently this is still with us.
They managed to take everything fun and unique about the Teen Titans and turn it into a generic super hero story.
Even the use of the F word is generic, since it’s been in almost every modern X-Men movie.
Movies and shows are supposed to be different from each other. Batman is dark. Spider-Man is funny. X-Men have multiple continuities that are confusing.
Teen Titans had its serious moments, particularly with Terra. While some could argue the animated Teen Titans were too silly, I don’t mind. It makes me smile. It’s fun, and that’s what comic book movies should be.
Meanwhile, I watched the trailer for Teen Titans Go To The Movies three times in a row. And one of those was with my 11-year-old.
