Unpopular Opinions You Hold About Animation

[Foggle]

I revisited some episodes of Teen Titans a couple years back. About half of them held up pretty well, but the rest were just awful.

[Nel_Annette]

I liked early Teen Titans, overall, but once each arc started introducing weaker and weaker villains, it kind of lost me. I like the concept they were going for: after Robin and Slade, each season after focused primarily on a different Titan having their own nemesis, like Brother Blood for Cyborg, Trigon for Raven, and that Brain thing for Beast Boy. But in execution, those story arcs weren't really interesting, and the villains didn't compare to Ron Pearlman's Slade.

Legion of Superheroes>Justice League>EMH>Teen Titans>Wolverine and the X-Men>Young Justice

[Spark Of Spirit]

I definitely don't think Teen Titans is better than Young Justice. I really liked season one of Young Justice, and season two has a lot of good points like the Flash episode where we finally got animated Impulse.

i haven't seen season 2 yet. i have not watched tt in ages but i used to love it. it was a pretty fun show.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Looks like we're mostly in agreement.

The only reason that I didn't rank USM and AA is because I haven't seen more than a single episode of them, but yes, they are god-awful.

I totally forgot about Super Friends. I'd probably put it under "doesn't hold up, " myself, though, if only because I did watch the show as a little kid and enjoy it, but then again, that's just a nice way of saying that it's still pretty bad.

[gunswordfist]

i thought i was the only one who'd put static ahead of teen titans.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Static Shock was more consistent.

[gunswordfist]

and what is still apparently an unpopular opinion of mine is i hate gear and i think the show's quality declined when richie became him.

Kickass honorable mention:
The Tick

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

You know, I REALLY need to give The Tick a re-watch one of these days to see how it holds up.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I've never seen the live action one and I haven't seen the animated show in a dog's age. I do remember enjoying it quite a bit.
