I haven't finished watching S4 of Titans yet (and maybe watching the rest of the season will change my mind) but I was just watching Teen Titans GO and this came to mind:

One of the reasons that Titans is such a strong show (in my opinion) is because they focus more on the characters as people than they do as heroes. They focus more on Dick Grayson than Robin or Nightwing, they focus more on Donna Troy than Wonder Girl, etc.

And maybe it is due to budget and not having the money to pull off a lot of special effects to show off their powers and do a lot of fight scenes, but like Saw's budget giving it a strength of mystery, focusing more on the human side of the characters than constantly one-upping their powers and outdoing fight scenes was the charm of the show to me.

So with S4, that 'human' side is what's working way better than the superpower stuff.

I am disappointed that Raven lost her powers and she didn't even have to deal with them being gone for that long. Because it would be so interesting to see her having a prolonged identity crisis about not having her powers, but it lasted for like... an episode? And for her, it wasn't even an identity crisis, she just decided that she liked not having powers and then decided that she wanted them back... and then got them back. No character development whatsoever, just a convenient plot device in her having and then not having her powers.

I am disappointed that they are shirking any emotional development for Gar to give him a storyline about getting cooler, more advanced powers and him being the mysterious one on the team who suddenly has visions now. Instead, I would have fucking loved a storyline where he actually worked through his emotional trauma and that gave him the ability to break through the emotional barrier holding him back and that's what gave him the ability to truly transform at will into any animal.

To me, the best part of the season is the increased mystery behind Trigon and them adding to the emotional conflict of Conner's character, with him wanting to get to know his fathers and wanting to honor Lex Luthor in death even though everyone else thinks Lex is an evil man who doesn't deserve it - that aspect is fucking phenomenal.

Tbh even the Tim stuff is more interesting to me. I didn't really find Tim all that interesting to me in Season 3 (he was okay as a plot device to bring Donna back to life lmao) - but him and Bernard's little romance and him finding his place on the team is actually such an interesting character development so far.

Anyway - I will give more of my thoughts when I finish the season, but I am very tempted to go back and rewatch the other episodes before I finish it because I have not been enjoying it as much as I thought I would 😬

Methinks they are making Gar's character a little too serious serious lemony serious this season...

[tenpintsofsundrop]

Okay in all of the edits I saw, Jinx's death was painted as this loving sacrifice, but she died because she was being overly cocky with her magic toward a woman that she warned Dick not to fuck with ??? Like girl you kind of deserved it. Heed your own advice

[tenpintsofsundrop]

I hate it, but Luthor!Conner is still irritably hot to me

[tenpintsofsundrop]

Gar: "Hey, are you sure you're alright?"

Conner: "Right as rain."

[tenpintsofsundrop]

Okay I am actually so fucking excited that they're tying this into the other seasons.

The fact that they brought back Adamson and explained that The Organization went a lot deeper than just existing to look for Rachel. And having Kory appear at Elko's Diner in her mind (having it be a place of psychic realignment for the characters).

I thought that because the show was supposed to have a season 5, the show overall was going to feel incomplete, but it's clear that season 4 was made to be the last season and having a season 5 would have just been icing on the cake.

It actually makes me wonder what a season 5 would have played out like - like if all of the Titans were 'retired', would season 5 have been them coming out of retirement to pull together against some big threat? Cause that would have been interesting.

It makes me imagine Dick with a baby carrier on his chest fighting off bad guys and Rachel complaining she has an essay due while having psychic visions of the end of the world (again), and everytime Conner does something he smiles proudly and is like "Superman taught me that!" - like it would be the best omg.

Jinx: "(Conner) said I'm hotter than the Forth of July, so I think he's doing alright."

Dick: "And you checked him to make sure that he's clear of all that... curse?"

Jinx: "Yeah, I checked him up one side and down the other." 😈

CONNER AND JINX FUCKED?!?!?!?!

[tenpintsofsundrop]

Also I'm obsessed with them bringing back the score that was used with Deathstroke frequently in S2 when Zombie Deathstroke was on screen. It's such a loving throwback

SUNNY! Titans S4 finally dropped on my country’s netflix and i’m soo excited to binge watch alllll of it!!🎉🎉

Oh hell yes!!!

Tbh I thought it dropped everywhere internationally on Netflix at the same, but it's good that you can watch it now!

I got to episode four and stopped watching (cause I wanna stretch it out/enjoy it) but I will definitely be posting all my thoughts about it as I continue to watch it. And I'm definitely excited to hear your thoughts 😁

"Who are all these new characters? Just give me the main cast!" "I know! And make them kiss already!"

This show gets so fucking cheeky with the self mocking references sometimes omg
