Titans | 2x06

[mrmanbat]

My most controversial take is that Jason Todd was perfectly cast in the Titans show.

Yeah, I know a lot of people say the casting didn’t make sense—but I fully disagree. Jason is canonically a teenager/young adult when he comes back. But in the comics, he’s so often drawn like a 30 year old. That visual disconnect makes people feel like he’s older and more removed from the vulnerability that’s actually core to his character.

So when Titans cast a younger-looking actor, someone who really looked like a teenage boy, that was actually more accurate to Jason’s story. His whole arc is tragic because of how young he is.

Making him look like a real teenager instead of a fucking bodybuilder actually enhances that story.

One of the funniest things to come out of the live action Titans show has to be the behind the scenes pics because every single one I see of Brenton Thwaites is the most in character depiction of Dick Grayson I've ever seen

Like look at these photos and tell me he wouldn't do this shit

"Conner? I thought we talked about this. You have to wear clothes in the Tower and out of it." Dick said. Conner had taken a step back from everything that he's learned since escaping Cadmus laboratory. He used to not understand the need for clothes when he was innocent, but now that he had matured, Conner realized why they were important. Until a few days ago.

Conner turns to him and smirks that damn Superman-styled smirk. His cock was flaccid, but still incredible in size and length. His muscular chest was on display as he bit into another chip from the bag he had in his hands.

"Living in sin is the new thing, Richard. At least that's what Jason says. Besides, everyone's doing it." He points behind Dick. The leader of the Titans turned to see Gar completely naked with a PS controller between his junk. Hovering a few feet above the couch, Y/N turned the page of his book, his legs crossed over his naked form.

"What is this? A nudist camp?" Dick asked.

[swiftlark]

Maybe an upopular opinion, but those who claim that all the people who want dickkory back do so purely out of "nostalgia" because "they were actually not that great" are straight up lying, antis who preffer other ships or haven't open one comic. The reason why this ship is still so beloved after 30 years of not being together is because they were truly that good. From Dick loving Kory with his whole heart and saying it to the high heavens, to the art which has their kisses looking like those in great romances from classical movies, to how people around them perceived their relationship and loved them together in-universe.

definitely not an unpopular opinion on this blog. dickory WAS always that girl. in every media they’re in, they are THAT girl. it’s crazy to me that people think it’s just nostalgia based when half of the fandom wasn’t even around for the dickkory golden age. it’s just that the story draws people in because it’s good. it’s a spin on classic romance tropes, it’s showing something somewhat new to us as audiences, and the characters are written to care so deeply for each other while having insane chemistry.

Can the writers in DC adaptations stop writing completely different characters and calling them Tim Drake??? Like why is he getting everyone else's backstory and personality??

Titans Hogwarts House Headcanons

A/N: I started writing this during the summer and never finished it, and now I need to clean out my drafts, so I figured that I would post it unfinished lmao. I hope you guys enjoy it. It's just a random, fun thing that I was thinking about.

NOTE - this is based on the Titans (2018) specific versions of the characters and their personalities. If you think this conflicts with other versions, don't complain about it to me. Make your own headcanons post lmao. Also I'm sorry if I have forgotten any of the characters.

Gar Logan - Hufflepuff

I was torn between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff for him, but I ultimately went with Hufflepuff because I think he has more of those traits. And because he has more of a propensity to run away in the face of danger (which isn't really a bad thing, it's a good protective instinct) - but he's not the kind of boldly (stupidly) brave that a Gryffindor is. When he sees something that is like a 'real life horror movie', he wants to run in the other direction, and he is so smart for that.

And all his other traits are very Hufflepuff - he is intensely loyal, friendly, he has a tendency to make friends very easily (as we see with literally everyone in the show). He always tries to see the best in people, he's positive and bright, and it takes a lot for him to reach anger and actually get mad at people. He's very easy going and calm and just wants to support people.

He is very soft and bright Hufflepuff.

Jason Todd - Slytherin

This is one of the most obvious to me. I know a lot of people think that Slytherin automatically equals 'bad guy', but I am not calling Jason a bad guy with this headcanon. I love his complexity and how his personality fits into this so well. He's clever, he's mouthy, he's sharp - he's sarcastic, defensive. Defensive in a good way - he won't just lay down and let people walk all over him. And he's always very good at speaking his mind.

He's ruthless in his revenge when he feels that he has been wronged, and he is incredibly loyal when he feels that loyalty is earned. (Which unfortunately is something that doesn't get demonstrated much in the show - but he was very loyal to Bruce right up until the point that he felt he got betrayed.)

He has the ultimate hot Slytherin fuckboy personality.

Also him and Gar are the Slytherin/Hufflepuff friendship meme.

Dick Grayson - Gryffindor

At first I was wondering if he was more of a Slytherin, but I realized that him and Jason are straddling opposite ends of the Slytherin/Gryffindor spectrum in such a perfect way. (It's one of the reasons why their characters fight so viscerally and could have also been such an amazing duo.)

He shows a lot of the negative traits of being a Gryffindor - stubbornness, (at times) fierce independence, wanting to be a leader because you don't trust others, being quick to anger because you are upset about injustice, the intense need to save everyone and carrying intense guilt when you can't (especially blaming yourself for not being able to save everyone through impossible conditions).

(He is sooo the Harry Potter of this group.)

And he does have a lot of the positive aspects too - being incredibly loyal, showing intense passion for the ones you love, doing literally anything to save the people you love, letting your love for your family fuel you, not wanting to see injustice/not wanting to see people undeserving of cruelty go through it.

He is the essential flawed Gryffindor and I am obsessed with it.

Kory Anders - Slytherin

Again, a lot of people associate Slytherin with evil, but I love seeing Slytherin traits in the Titans characters for their positive aspects.

Kory has the Slytherin fierceness, the sassyness, the intense loyalty - but she shows this loyalty in the form of defending her loved ones without rules (not caring who she has to kill in order to defend the people she loves), and she has a code of loyalty toward her sister, but she's not afraid to show how unhappy she is about abiding by that code. Which is very Slytherin of her lmao.

I think one of her most Slytherin moments is tricking that mobster woman into shaking her hand and then killing her immediately after she killed her own son, because she couldn't stand to see the injustice, but rather than handling it with a code of correctness and justice, she went straight for the 'eye for an eye' method in order to correct things.

Same with locking Faddei inside her ship - she knew that Rachel needed her more, and so she didn't care about going low and tricking Faddei in order to maintain her loyalty toward Rachel and the Titans.

She is someone who uses her Slytherin traits for good.

Rachel Roth - Hufflepuff

I debated for a few minutes about her as well, but then I realized that she is on the opposite side of the coin that Gar is in terms of Hufflepuffs. Gar is very sociable, very outwardly friendly, tries to be literally everyone's friend, and Rachel is much more shy and reserved, much pickier about who she becomes friends with and who she opens up to - she's more sarcastic, but still generally quiet and not as social.

And her most important Hufflepuff trait - her heart. She is an incredibly empathetic person. She feels intense guilt when she accidentally hurts people, she connects deeply with the people that she loves and would do anything for them, she would rather keep her pain to herself if she thinks that it means avoiding hurting other people. The very high empathy, high emotions, full hearted kind of thing - is very Hufflepuff of her.

Conner Kent - Ravenclaw

Again, this was one that I debated about a bit. He has some Slytherin traits, but I was thinking about that scene where Eve told him "sometimes that anger will be his (Lex Luthor's) and sometimes it will be yours" - when he was new, his emotions and some of his behaviour (like going to Lex's house when he thought it was the Kent farm) was controlled by his epigenetic memories, and later on, even when his more 'Luthor' side is revealed, I still think that he has more Ravenclaw traits than Slytherin traits.

Those traits: he has more measurable knowledge than 'sense' sometimes - and again, this is because he's literally new, but it still makes sense as a Ravenclaw trait; he is incredibly intelligent with that knowledge; he's very studious; and later on in S4 when he has his more Luthor side revealed, he still has a lot of Ravenclaw traits. He is very witty and sarcastic, quick on the tongue, and he displays some of the more negative Ravenclaw traits - speaking without necessarily caring about other people's feelings, being brutally honest, believing that he's superior to others because of his intellect.

I think it fits him very well. I love how the Titans characters display both negative and positive aspects of the house personalities.

Dawn Granger - Ravenclaw

Dawn is at the opposite end of the Ravenclaw spectrum. Rather than being outwardly sarcastic and believing that she's above others because of her knowledge, she is the more quiet, calm, reserved Ravenclaw.

It's clear that she's very intelligent, but more than anything, Dawn displays the extreme emotional intelligence that a lot of Ravenclaws have. She is well in control of her emotions, and she tries hardest to control the emotions of others around her, being an emotional adviser for the people that she loves.

Bonus (aka the ones that I didn't have time to go into detail about)

Hank Hall - Gryffindor (Shows the 'stupidly brave' side of Gryffindor.)

Garth - Gryffindor

Donna Troy - Ravenclaw or Gryffindor

Tim Drake - Ravenclaw (The detective who is a clever observer and figures everything out.)

Barbara Gordon - Ravenclaw

Rose Wilson - Slytherin

Jericho Wilson - Hufflepuff

Jinx - Slytherin (She is a bit selfish, but she is loyal when she needs to be, and she's not afraid to use under-handed tactics to get the job done.)

Titans | 2x01

[mrmanbat]

You ever see a Red Hood cosplay and something just feels off—like, awkward even though objectively it’s an insanely accurate cosplay? It’s not that the cosplayers don’t have Jason’s physique. It’s the helmet.

The live-action Titans series has this problem too. See, helmets require a few inches of space between your head and the outer shell to actually be able to protect your skull. So unless your head is stupid small, you’re gonna end up looking like a bobblehead.

“But I’ve seen motorcycle helmets! They don’t look like bobbleheads!” Look again. They do. It’s just less noticeable because those helmets are usually sleeker in design.

Jason’s helmet, though? It’s shaped like a skull. That design is not doing anyone any favors. The reason it looks good in the comics is because it’s almost never drawn to actual scale—it hugs his head like it’s molded to his face, which just isn’t how real helmets work.

[crime-scene-psychic]

My roommate and I have been rewatching some comfort cartoons recently (ie Teen Titans and Young Justice) and it made me realize that there is a reoccurring theme in at the very least 3 TV show adaptations, which is anytime Dick Grayson is under just a little too much stress he immediately starts hallucinating. It isn't much, but it's certainly insane that it's happened 3 times (to my knowledge).
