Teen Titans Go! (TV Series) Let's Get Serious (2015) User Reviews

Decent Parody, but still pretty stupid

[darkmare376 · 5/10 · 15 March 2015]

I was expecting this to be like the worst episode of the entire show. And I wasn't exactly happy when Aqualad outright pointed out every mistake that the show has made.

It didn't feel like the writer knew this show sucked it felt like it was outright mocking it the people that hate the show and being like 'Oh you want your serious Teen Titans back? Well here you go, jackasses.'

But then halfway through when the Titans actually do become serious it actually became really funny. It was actually making fun of the whole seriousness of the old days and it made it hilarious to the character designs, the trauma, the silhouettes of the heroes and taking every little thing WAY too serious. It actually was hilarious.

The only complaint I have is that the ending was WAY too abrupt. They break up just like that and then next week their going back to the silliness.

...... This episode was surprisingly better than most of the crap episodes they put on the show. But it still has a lot of flaws though the mocking of the seriousness of shows was hilarious it still leaves a lot to be desired and just makes you want to watch Batman the Animated Series..... or the old Teen Titans.

Is there a reason people like this one?

Why some people love this episode? This is the ugliest episode of Teen Titans Go. The Titans are panned by the Young Justice team for being childish, so they put on serious faces, which are just scary to look at it. The rest of it is just the Titans acting like they are cool now because they are "serious." The ending is also stupid, the Titans split up because Cyborg drank Beast Boy's juice. Yeah it's stupid as it sounds. And then it just cuts back to the Titans being childish idiots now. This episode was both disturbing and stupid at the same time. Please do yourself a favor and never watch this episode. Don't listen to the positive reviews on it.

The ratings demographics say a lot

Basically, if you're 30 or older then you get this show and what it's about, while if you're 18-29 years old, then you take this superhero stuff (and probably many other unimportant things) WAY too seriously, and therefore can't stand how this standout episode of a very fun and funny show (I'm 45) seems to mock the "serious" shows and their fans. I've looked at the ratings of many episodes, and this holds very consistently. And although they presumably don't vote much, I bet that young children--allegedly the core audience--also generally like/love this show.

As for the mockery or satire, it's not even that, really--this episode is merely acknowledging that many of the haters of the show want a more serious one, and then the characters of course take it to a ridiculous extreme both for comedy and to reaffirm that this is what the show is about, take it or leave it. It's the typical lamp-shading the show does to wink at the audience--neither the creators nor the fans are dumb, even if they make/watch a show in which so many astoundingly (and deliberately) dumb things happen just for fun. It's not like that DC movie with the two guys with moms named Martha--an unfathomably stupid movie made for adults that took itself utterly seriously and therefore reflects the inherent stupidity of those who made it.

Best Episode of the Series

[A9AMouse · 29 July 2015]

I love this show. This ep is just as silly and fun as the rest of the series, but it also takes the creative license to make fun of all the people whining about the show being too silly and fun.

Teen Titans Go!, (a silly kids' show), caught a bunch of flack for being too innocent and silly (pretty much from enraged and mean-spirited hard-core super hero nerds). Despite being a pretty solid and funny show, a bunch of internet troll whiners would not let up about the show's tone or humor. And the show light- heartedly mocked them for an entire episode in return.

Basic gist: The ep pretty much revolves around the characters becoming more "serious" after getting mocked by more conventional cartoon super heroes (where the focus on animation is to be overly cool, pretty, and tough, and where the dialogue is clichéd, overly- serious, and stupid). The characters (predictably) take it to an insane extreme, from which the writers lampoon "serious" super hero conventions.

This made my day. Thanks, y'all.

Not bad for this show.

The episode started of like any other episode of this show until a cameo of a group of heroes comes. At that point, it was actually pretty cool to watch. The action and the romantic moments made it as close as this show will be to the original TT. The final battle in the episode was pretty awesome for this show. The terrible part of this was the the way they go from cool, awesome, and sadness to plain crazy and stupidness. If the ending were fixed, it would be a much better episode and many fans would actually like it. Another down side is the proportions on the Titans bodies because some of them looked weird and creepy.

This show's hatedom makes me respect CatDog and Bordertown even less

[tommypezmaster · 10/10 · 21 February 2021]

Very impressed with episode , not sure how salty the CatDog and Bordertown fanbase is with this show given it is a little heavy and philosophical , but that makes the show for me.
