Teen Titans: Season Five

9/10 We’ve finally reached my last Teen Titans review, and it's the series as a whole because today is the 22nd anniversary of the show.

Plot: Five teen superheroes save the town from threats while dealing with personal issues such as family life, self-worth, and friendships. 

Positives:

1. The animation is amazing, the anime-esque expressions are funny, and the fight scenes are well choreographed.

2. The character development is phenomenal; every Titan (except for Starfire) got a season focusing on them throughout the series run with arcs that reveal more about their backstory.

3. The voice performances are magnificent; each of them does an amazing job when it comes to their characters and how they interact.

4. The storylines are great; the mix of comedic and serious stories balances out the tone of the series by having some lighthearted moments between arcs.

5. The Titans are incredible; all of them get developed excellently, and their interactions with each other are entertaining. My favorite arcs were Terra and Raven because of the impact they had on the series. Terra's sacrifice in Aftershocks will always be one of the most iconic moments from the show, along with Raven defeating Trigon in The End.

6. Every villain in this series has been phenomenal; their motives were clear, they had enough screentime to leave an impact, and their encounters with the Titans were outstanding. My favorite was Trigon because, unlike Slade, he was almost unstoppable to the Titans, so seeing them trying to defeat him was entertaining, plus his design was fire.

7. The theme song is a banger.

Negatives:

1. Season 5 was underwhelming in some aspects, like I stated in my Season 5 review. The Doom Patrol weren’t good characters, and the finale left so many questions unanswered.

2. Season 1 had a bit of a slow start for me. The first few episodes were good, but some episodes in the middle were pretty meh.

Overall, Teen Titans is an outstanding series. This binge made me appreciate the show so much more. I see why this is considered one of the best Cartoon Network shows of all time because the storytelling, villains, and character development are amazing, and the tension is so entertaining to see. If you haven’t watched the series, you should start now.

Teen Titans Season 5

8/10 I don’t know what the general consensus is about this season. I’ve seen some say it’s the best or it’s the worst, but for me personally I liked it just fine, albeit with a few issues. 

Plot: The fifth season revolves around Beast Boy and his past with the Doom Patrol and the Titans fighting the Brotherhood of Evil. 

Positives:

1. The Titans were decent; Beast Boy was good too, but I feel he wasn’t developed as much as the other Titans in previous seasons.

2. The voice performances were amazing.

3. The Brotherhood of Evil were good villains; their plan of eliminating the youthful superheroes across the globe and obtaining Titans Communicator by Madame Rogue shapeshifting to different heroes was fantastic. 

4. The serious episodes were better than the comedic ones, particularly Go and Lightspeed, for the character development and depth.

5. Titans Together was a phenomenal episode that brought back villains and heroes from previous episodes for an epic battle resulting in the Titans getting 50 new honorary members. If anything, I would’ve preferred this being the season finale than the one we got.

Negatives:

1. The Doom Patrol was bad; honestly, I found them boring as characters, and they didn’t do much for me.

2. The finale was bad. While it was nice to see Terra again, the episode abruptly ends without leaving a proper conclusion. 

Overall, Season 5 was great. I liked seeing all the characters throughout the series return and the Brotherhood of Evil, but that’s about it. The season felt rushed, and the finale was infamous for being left on a cliffhanger and not resolving any loose plot threads. Despite this, I still prefer Season 5 over the first season for offering more in entertainment and storylines.

Like, it's been years since I watched the show, but I suddenly became interested in it again. When I went to this wiki and saw this information, I thought it was strange because I don't remember any moment in the series that this is said (except for the episode "Revolution" which takes place on the 4th of July)
