Mr. Mxyzptlk Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Um, I'm pretty sure Wolfman has more or less admitted what I just said. I just happen to dislike it. I guess TT continuity talk is taboo around here and more discussed than I thought, but I seriously hope you're not telling me I can't express my opinion on a comic book, especially when it's really not that uncommon of an opinion at all.

James D. Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I'm pretty sure it was in jest. You can say whatever you want, Mxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 It wasn't in jest, I just don't expect you to abide by it. Wolfman/Perez's TT was one of the greatest runs in comics history. Where else is this not unpopular opinion held? Because, the way I look at it, teenagers often like to act like they are adults. It's kind of the central tenet of teenagehood.

Mr. Mxyzptlk Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think that the series is really iconic and insanely influential (the cartoon certainly would not exist without it), but it doesn't appeal to me. Quite a few people on toonzone and other boards I frequent agree. There are definitely more fans than not, but it's definitely not an uncommon opinion.

Missy Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Now I've read very little of that era of Teen Titans, but despite the title of the series, weren't they pushing their late teens anyway? What I mean is, they were adults. Young adults, but adults nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 From what I've read, they were 17 at the very youngest. But I agree, they were always written as though they were adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think too often nowadays, people think that characters aren't acting like teenagers when they aren't talking like one of Whedon's Buffy characters or Bendis' USM characters when those are the actual exception to the rule. The New Teen Titans were ALL teenagers around 17 who had experienced trauma in their lives and with the help of a mentor (again, the more damaged characters like Raven had no mentor) were able to live more normal lives but were still forced to grow up a lot faster than a regular 17 year old. Add that to the fact that I have never met a teenager not trying to act older at some time and you have a perfect portrayal in Wolfman and Perez's TT. As someone who has more experience with troubled youth than anyone on these boards (just stating an observed fact, here) I find the characters to be on the whole some of the most realistic teenagers in pop culture.

GoFlash Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Technically, "Krypto The Superdog" premiered towards the end of JL's run, in about 2005. I don't think Mike and James have suggested that that is in continuity (but maybe they're saving it. If they get enough complaints about TT being in continuity, they can start talking about Krypto being in continuity, figuring that everyone will get rabid about that and forget about TT. They can be devious like that). Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamvidger Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 There is no reason why Krypto can't be in continuity, but there is also no reason for WFP to review it. the only thing against it being in continuity I can think of is the fact that Batdog is in the show. I don't know if its possible to fit Batdog in DCAU continuity, besides the "Batdog" in Batman Beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
