Not edgy enough, Krypto needs to get rabies first and Superboy needs to constantly cut himself with a kryptonite knife.
I get wanting to make a darker show, but for the love of god someone throw a pie or something.

Trailer for season 2 is here.
I'm stunned this show isn't dead.

Against my better judgement to bump this thread but unbelievably the show is still going and I must rant.
I'm not going to bury the lead - last episode they used the SOUND EFFECTS that are added to the show to trace a villain. Like, you know how in this show they add big whooshing noises to swords, punches and kicks have impact sounds that they wouldn't in real life - all that folio stuff that is just for the audience's benefit? They had Beast Boy wave a sword through the air and had the Batcomputer analyse the whooshing sound effects to reconstruct the villain's moves. I have seen the Fourth Wall broken but never in both directions so the characters could use audience clues to help them.
This is the level of stupid we are dealing with here. Through sheer inertia and being too ill to do anything remotely taxing, I have watched most of Season 3. They're doing Death in the Family / Red Hood with a twist of Scarecrow.
Scarecrow is, ironically, the least scary villain they have ever had on the show. He looks like a young Richard Stallman,
They should get actual Richard Stallman. Would be more fun.
To be fair to the actor, he's probably fine. It's just a terrible interpretation of the character. Never wears his mask, either!
This show is so stupid. Starfire remains a truly obnoxious person, lecturing other people on killing when she literally gets a pass on killing criminals, cops and pretty much anyone she feels like, this week. She beats up Beastboy and then laughs it off as a joke, she breaks her sister out of a government facility (where she is confined for being a murderous alien with contempt for human life) and threatens to emasculate by fire the poor guard who politely asks her not to. She also has routine psychotic episodes where she attacks people. But that's fine, apparently. Frankly, all the characters in this show are horrible people except for Beast Boy and Super Boy who are largely treated as background plot conveniences. I don't think one person is convincingly written and the plot hangs together by fuse wire. Jason Todd has been murdering people. He literally wired a bomb in Hawk's chest and blew him the fuck up right in front of his wife. And the team are debating whether or not he should be let back into the team. None of this makes sense.
The single most relatable and likeable character in the entire show so far, has been a sewer worker who mistaking Scarecrow for a homeless person gave him his pudding pot.
I am not kidding. I liked him more than any other character.
This show is like Batwoman with a higher budget. It has people in it who can actually act, but they're not allowed to so far as I can tell. Somebody should get J Longbone to do a reaction series to this but she's suffering enough with Batwoman.

i haven't watched this adaptation of Titans but the way you describe Starfire in this show is like. . .
it's legitimately reminiscent of her sister, Blackfire, than any classic or relevant Starfire depiction. lmfao.

Well to begin with, this version of Starfire looks like this:
This Starfire has a weird dark take on comics Starfire. Two notable traits of comics and cartoon Starfire are that she is very matter-of-fact about sex. Secondly, she comes from a warrior culture and is suprisingly okay with violence. It's like this adaptation takes those two traits and strips them of the mitigating factors that make them palatable. For the sexual attitudes, her promiscuity was never about having low value for herself. She came from a culture where sex was more of an open, normalized activity. She might dress sexily but she didn't dress trashy. Trashy being about being easy more than it is about open-mindedness. In effect, they took a free-love type and gave her the trappings of a whore.
Similarly, they took the casual violence of Teen Titans (recall when they visited her home world and how brutal it was) and removed both the strong sense of honour and the cheerfulness of the character, leaving only the violence.
It's like she's some dark version of Starfire. Which means, yes - she's really more like Blackfire.
Which is kind of weird because Blackfire is now in it and frankly comes across as both much nicer and somewhat more sympathetic. Blackfire is also now sleeping with Superboy (she's his first).

I'll be honest, I enjoy the series. Maybe part of it is I have it on while working on other projects and I'm not as subjected to its stupidity, but the fact that it tends to triple down on its edginess amuses me to no end.

Doubt this show has much time left, outside America, this is a Netflix show. I can't see WB wanting to fund a show that won't be on HBO Max in most counties they plan to launch in.
Expect it to be cancelled after this season or get one more to wrap things up, unless they some how get the streaming rights back from Netflix.
The other two DC shows Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn, don't seem to have that issue.

There was supposed to be cross-over with Doom Patrol. But other than them appearing in the Beast Boy episode it never happened. There are even photos from the cancelled S1 finale showing Doom Patrol on set. Writers apparently decided against it post filming. A shame - it would have been better than what we got and the Doom Patrol would have brought some much needed fun to it.

Live action Teen Titans makes about as sense as having a live action Powerpuff Girls at this point. There’s nothing new or refreshing being brought to the table here.

This show is a guilty pleasure of mine (haven't watched season 3 yet), I enjoy some of the edgyness, but fucking Starfire's desing is atrocious why the fuck does Hollywood insist on giving black characters afros? Is it so we now they are black? you know in case the skin tone isn't a dead giveaway

Yes. Joker beat him to death with a crow-bar. He's back now, though as Red Hood.
Fucked if I know.
Anyway, mighty are the gods of Irony, for having resurrected this thread with criticism, the last episode actually was kind of good. They did it by doing an episode with almost none of the regular characters. No Dick, no Starfire, no Superboy, et al. The episode jumped without warning to Themyscyra to follow Raven who has been conspicuously absent all season (to its detriment, I might add). She has been for no discernible reason training on the island with the Amazons. Happily, Raven seems to view it as a dumb idea just as much as I do. Suited to the Amazon life, she is not. I expected it to be some "learn how much wiser than Amazon's are than you" moral lesson for the episode but thankfully it just about veered away from actually becoming that. I say thankfully because I agreed with Raven the whole episode. Fuck off Amazons!
Clearly grunge-emo-look is not allowed on "Paradise Island".
Anyway, actually a fun one. Imagine it will go to shit when they return to the main characters and plot again. But perhaps when Raven rejoins the team and she learns what's been happening, she'll blow Jason Todd's head off. Would be a twist, at least.

He appears in season 2, I don't know if they made him justice since I only watched a couple of episodes of the Teen Titans cartoon and didn't know he was a thing prior to the series
