Here No Longer

That's literally the opposite of what he said. His point was that you dislike it because you're a fan of the old one.

Your point is that it's bad because it's an insult to the old show. And why do you think that it's a insult to the old show? Because "it's Teen Titans". In other words it bad because "it's Teen Titans".

Actually that's exactly what he said.

Then you're free to explain how I am wrong.

Not liking Teen Titans Go has nothing to do with disliking the original series. That's exactly what you said right? Flawed statement.

In fact, I actually liked the original Teen Titans, I  just find TTG to be completely disrespectful to the source material.

That's some serious mental gymnastics.

Well, you can't say that such a show is bad just because "it's Teen Titans" either but that's what you are doing.

No it isn't, you clearly haven't read any of he posts I was making.

Oh, another excuse to post this one!

 

That meme got stale really fast. -_-

Dehydrated water would be literaly nothing but the impurities in it and the salt if it were saltwater.

100% FAKE.

That the show doesn't take itself too seriously and makes silly jokes. Heck, I'll fully admit that every character is a complete moron, but that doesn't mean it's an insult to the source material. I mean, it's all in good fun. 

I've been saying that there's a BIG difference between not taking itself seriously and downright insulting itself. I don't think you''ve been reading my past few posts. Constant butt/fart jokes (that aren't really funny to anyone aside from 5 and 6 year olds with the most juvenile sense of humor). Here's a ridiculously long DeviantArt post about the subject.

It's not all in good fun. It's done belligerently with zero respect.You can't just say a show with constant fart jokes is good just because "it's Teen Titans," which is what you're trying to do. I bet you don't treat shows with the same low-quality humor with the same respect.

Just now, Yamet said:

Yeah, and your point is? I never claimed that all the show did was making a couple self-deprecating jokes. 

As I said earlier, I'm mature enough to tolerate when stuff I like gets parodied. 

Really? So what HAVE you been claiming? That it gets parodied? Because that's what parodies do. They don't turn everyone into complete morons with as much brainpower as a stick of chewing gum. I have never seen anything do that with it's source material aside from TTG. Not even once. At least they show RESPECT, ad that's what I've been saying. There's a difference between a parody and an insulting spin-off whose creators have zero respect for the show.

There's a pretty big difference between making a few self-deprecating jokes and making the characters complete morons, and I don't understand how you can say that making them like that isn't an insult.

Judging by the people I've seen HERE a lot of them are not only right leaning but also surprisingly prejudiced. That's not indicative of the entire community but it's still incredibly frustrating being a part of this community.

I could say a few of them that would make me think that way too, but those people are just an extremely aggravating minority.

Speaking as a pretty big fan of teen titans (and everything DC related), I fail to see how teen titans go insults it. Care to enlighten me?  

If  making the whole cast dumb idiots who ;literally sit and talk about waffles and butts for 11 minutes isn't insulting to the original hsow it's based on, I don't know what is.

I used to play, but don't anymore. Still have cards to make a deck or two with though, including a solo white deck I used to run and parts of an old red/blue deck.

In addition to the fact that ratings on all of TV have fallen in recent years, I think at least another part of it is from them not focusing on linear ratings as much as they used to. They're focusing more on stuff like On Demand (which they're doing well in) and have been doing a lot of early releases on there and online.

TTG still remains their highest rated show on the live feed.

It can't really account for a drop of that magnitude, or the fact it's even being beaten by Adult Swim as of 2 months ago.

That can easily be because of their schedule and the fact that most of their audience has so little exposure to their other shows. The network for the past few months has been airing Teen Titans Go almost constantly, with few other shows getting even half of the airtime TTG gets in a week.

Just now, PiratePony said:

I don't see how it doesn't. That's got to translate to enough advertisers to pay on TTG over other programming. The advertisement money drives a lot of what's on TV.

Just imagine how much they have to shill to Tara Strong and company on residuals alone if they're airing it so much. Mrs. Strong is probably swimming in a pool of Teen Titans Go money like Scrooge McDuck right now.

This should make you see exactly how it doesn't.

They've been losing viewers for a long time now, seemingly because of TTG, and there's no way that a transition that causes this in any way gives them more viewership. I understand that TV has shifted online and to mobile devices, but there's no way it could cause a change this steep within a matter of only a few years.

They wanted a kid/little boys show. The kids like it, they buy toys, CN and DC make money. An upset fanbase of the original isn't and shouldn't be their concern. The target audience isn't complaining and that's the bottom line.

Well that's a shame that they don't care about their own channel then. Absolutely no way that it is so profitable that it literally takes up half of the schedule when everyone but a very young audience hates it. Pretty obvious they just don't care.

What about it did not make sense? Although several people have very valid reasons for disliking the show... many just hate it because "It is not like that thing I liked!" which can be said about many cartoon shows/films that have multiple incarnations/sequels. A lot of people like the show because of its almost meme like nature and its simple plot of just throwing some gags at you for a few minutes until you are bored and go do something else.

For the record I don't like TTG. I do find it a poor substitute for what was a pretty good show, since I loved the story driven episodes, and the drama and emotion it invoked. They could do episodes with a wacky sense of humor one day, and then hit you right in the feels the next... to me there just felt like a passion to tell stories in the show for many different people and different types of fans. The new series is just bent on going in one direction and is less interested in any sort of story and just rushing from gag to gag. The humor to me is hit and miss, with some episodes being actually pretty funny, and others being horribly obnoxious. I solve this issue though by just not watching it and instead watching shows I do like and not spending my free time complaining about the ones I don't.

I said I hated it because the show literally sits and insults its source material constantly, it was right there in the post for anyonne to see, and that  has everything to do with the show, because that's what the show is. An insult. Though some people just decide not to read an entire post before attacking it, either that or just decide to be obstinate for the sake of protecting their hurt feelings.

"Prager's Fake University of Hypocrites posted a video about how 'facts don't care about your feelings.' From neo-nazi apologists who get offended when somebody talks bad about their ideology. Poor Prager! *internally laughing hysterically*"

Texas weather is actually pretty extreme.

How about something that has something to do with the actual show? 

No, but then I'm mature enough to tolerate when something I like gets parodied.  Plus, some of the jokes are pretty funny. 

How about an argument that makes sense...?

It's not just parodied. It's downright INSULTED.

With my recent experiences with dogs, definitely prefer cats as I have yet to see one as violent as my dad's dogs can be.

That's the dumbest reason to dislike anything I've ever heard.

Then what isn't a dumb reason to dislike something...? Seriously, the show literally exists to riff the original series and that's not offensive to you in any way?

If people were that annoyed by it, they could just change the channel when it comes on. Ratings would fall and CN would stop airing it so much.

That's not going to happen because the actual audience of the show actually likes it's braindead and downright shameful humor. You don't understand the fact that everyone else BUT the people who watch it are annoyed and they have no way of nfixing it and even if they did CN wouldn't care. 

Fairly cold since a front came in yesterday.

whepwhepwhepwhepWHOOOOOOOP

Irritated with the wind. It really needs to stop.

Absolutely not. Horrible leaders, ISIS, getting bombed all the time...
