Tween Titans (DC Super Hero Girls)

The Tween Titans, which is the tween version of the Teen Titans are a group of superheroes in the second generation of the mh:besttvshows:DC Super Hero Girls franchise. They are a team of pre-teen superheroes led by Robin. The other members are Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven.

Sadly, they were flanderized so badly in this second incarnation of DC Super Hero Girls and ruined the Teen Titans from the first incarnation of DC Super Hero Girls.

Why They Suck Now

 * 1) Much like the Titans from Teen Titans GO!, they suffer from flanderization in this incarnation (except Bumblebee, who’s not part of the team, and Miss Martian, who is absent from this incarnation), and they appear to be more flanderized than they were in TTG!, going from a selfless and serious group of teenager heroes from the first incarnation who care about protecting Metropolis and who cared about their friends and family deeply to kids who bully their babysitters, Jessica and Karen, do dangerous stuff for fun and are troublemaking brats to the point where they made their TTG counterparts seemed more likable by comparison.
 * 2) * Robin, although not the same Robin as the first incarnation (Dick Grayson is the Robin in this incarnation, not Damian Wayne), so just focusing on his similarities to GO!'s Robin, he has gone from a serious, intelligent, skilled, and kind teenage leader to a kid who is a very rude, immature, egotistical, and bratty jerk who likes to mess with the Superhero Girls and likes to be the center of attention.
 * 3) * Similar to GO!'s Starfire, the Starfire in this incarnation went from being a kind-hearted, selfless, and beautiful alien teenager from the first incarnation who cares about her friends and helps them out, and also cares for her family, and even her sister Blackfire, in which they had a friendly rivalry, and have actually bonded in that show compared to their Teen Titans’ (as well as their Teen Titans GO!) counterparts, into a kid who is a hyperactive, destructive, careless and bratty troublemaker who has a candy obsession.
 * 4) * Similar to GO!'s Raven (but worse, since TTG’s Raven is still likable for the most part), the Raven in this incarnation went from a caring, selfless, dark, and mature teenage girl from the first incarnation who cares about her friends and helps them out, and even cares about her dad, Trigon, who she actually bonded with in that show compared to their Teen Titans’ (as well as their Teen Titans GO!) counterparts, into a kid who is a depressed, nerdy, and careless troublemaker who is sarcastic in a bad way.
 * 5) * Similar to GO!'s Cyborg, the Cyborg in this incarnation went from an intelligent, nice, mature, and serious half-man, half-robot teenager from the first incarnation who cares about his friends and helps them out, into a kid who is a annoying, immature, jerkish, and idiotic troublemaker who cares less about being a hero and more about being cool.
 * 6) * Similar to GO!'s Beast Boy, the Beast Boy in this incarnation went from a from a fun-loving, immature (though sometimes mature when the time calls for it), light-hearted prankster teenager from the first incarnation who cares about his friends and helps them out, into a kid who is a selfish, lazy, dumb, and completely immature slacker who usually prefers laziness over saving the world.
 * 7) This (otherwise amazing) show could have got these Teen Titans to have their personas from the 2003 series (to make them different than their first DCSHG’s incarnation), making it a missed opportunity for the Titans in this show.
 * 8) They are shown as "heroes" when they are shown antagonizing the other heroes, even when they didn't do anything wrong to begin with.
 * 9) They don’t fight any crime at all, which doesn’t make them heroes at all.
 * 10) * At least the GO! Titans are seen fighting crime, doing good things and are heroes sometimes, but the Tween Titans don’t do anything good at all.
 * 11) The episode the team is in, "#TweenTitans", they were immature, jerkish and unsympathetic, heck, since they have better homes, lifestyles and caring families compared to the GO! Titans, they are considered not sympathetic at all.
 * 12) * This is especially true with Robin, when comparing the GO! Robin with him, as at least the GO! Robin can be at times very sympathetic, while this Robin is never sympathetic.
 * 13) They are supposed to be between the ages of 8-12 years old, but they have the mentality of 4-year olds.
 * 14) They are often unnecessarily loud.
 * 15) Their gags and jokes are extremely low-brow, flat, stale, idiotic, gross, irritating and completely unfunny.
 * 16) They could even rival Chilly Willy (2018) as they both come from a good spin-off TV show, but were flanderized horribly and are hated now.
 * 17) They are even sadistic to each other, such as beating each other up and being straight-up abusive with no remorse whatsoever. A good example of this portrayal is when they played with a piñata, but Robin starts hitting the other kids, who are also his teammates, and they all fight.
 * 18) They also straight up don’t care for each other, unlike GO!'s Titans who at least care for each other deep down, and have some heartwarming moments sometimes. But the Tween Titans don’t have this at all.
 * 19) They clearly don’t respect authority at all, as they mess with their babysitters, Karen and Jessica, don’t listen to them, taking their power locket and power ring, and even tie them up upside down over a pit.
 * 20) While Tara Strong reprises her role as Raven from Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go! and the original 2015 web series, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, and Greg Cipes, for some reason, didn't return to voice Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy in this show and were replaced by Grey Griffin, Phil LaMarr, and Kari Wahlgren, resulting in their voices being annoying, especially Starfire. This is not helping the fact that these are 3 well known and beloved people, and they are normally great voice actors, but their voices as Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy are loud and screechy.
 * 21) Much like Lois Lane in "Breaking News", the episode, "Tween Titans", had ruined the Tween Titan’s reputation as characters in this show as it's not only the titans (except Robin)’ only appearance in the show, unlike Lois who appeared in Cruz Control with her personality improved after her worst episode, but their actions in this episode alone are one of the main reasons why this incarnation of the Teen Titans received negative reception from many fans (with some people calling the titans’ incarnation in this show as bad or worse than their incarnation in Teen Titans Go!).

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Karen (Bumblebee) is the only member of the first incarnation’s Teen Titans that’s not with them in this incarnation, and is with the much better Super Hero Girls team.
 * 2) * She’s also not flanderized, and remains a lovable teenage superhero.
 * 3) * She has also stood up against the Tween Titans for their actions.
 * 4) For young kids, they are at least powerful (and maybe on the same level as the GO! Titans).
 * 5) Their character designs are good and pretty cute, which fits for them since they are kids in this incarnation.
 * 6) Tara Strong (who reprises her role as Raven) and Keith Ferguson (Robin) are the only voice actors that do a good job voicing their characters.
 * 7) They at least only caused chaos at Robin’s home, unlike GO!'s Titans who usually cause chaos wherever they go.
 * 8) They do get their comeuppance at the end of the episode, when Karen and Jessica trick Cybrog into opening Karen’s power locket, which gave Karen her powers and got Jessica her power ring back to set her free, then they defeat the kids and put them to sleep.
 * 9) * And at least they are not Karma Houdinis at all, unlike GO!'s Titans.
 * 10) Raven is considered the least bad of the team, since she at least cleans up the team’s mess and restores the mansion back to normal in her sleep at the end of the episode.
 * 11) Exlcuding Robin, the Titans only appeared once in the show.
 * 12) * At least Robin only appears 4 times in the show, which is way less than GO!'s Robin in his own show.
