They also lost the “Little-Orphan Annie” pupil-less eyes she had.
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.
It was great watching him take on Slade…an attack by an enraged, heartbroken shapeshifter turning into dinosaurs, apes, tigers, and giant freakin squid in a frenzied assault that ended up doing as well (or better) than Robin’s angsty martial artistry. Heh heh heh.
