Which is also a good thing. Raven is far and away from her comic character. But that was hard to play up for TV. I actually prefer the TV version to the comic version, who was way to annoying. ---

I really like Teen Titans. I thought I wouldn’t, but ever since the first episode I’ve thought that it’s funny, engaging, and a nice departure from the usual DCU cartoons. I’ve also gone from hating the character designs to mostly prefering them to the comic versions. Others have mentioned how huge a step up Starfire is from her awful comic book appearance, and I think Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy (who has never had a very good costume in the comics and suffered from god-awful haircuts for a long time) are big improvements, too. Also, I _love_ Mas y Menos from the Titans East episode. When I heard about them, I was all “why didn’t they just bring in Kid Flash.” Thank goodness they didn’t! They’re great, and I want to see more of them. “Mas y Menos, si podemos!” ---

I enjoy the show, as it feels like a breath of fresh air, compared to most prpgrams. And, Raven is a great character. 🙂 ---

Oh, BTW–I always wondered why Beast Boy didn’t just turn into a T Rex in the comics. And now, he does. 🙂 ---

Heh heh heh. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/teen-titans/289814.md?page=1)
