Teen Titans Returns To Cartoon Network...Well, Sort Of


Recently one of my favorite shows from my childhood has made its return back to television in the form of a 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM time slot on the weekdays. That's right, Teen Titans is back....kind of. They aren't making new episodes for this amazing show but they are letting fans of the original Teen Titans show ride the nostalgia train. 

Teen Titans was one of the reasons I become such a big fan of DC comics. They were relatable and funny while still being able to tug at our heart strings and make us worry about each character. They taught real life lessons to kids about the way the world is and for us not to squabble or dwell on such things in this world. It was truly an great show for kids despite the dark themes at times. It taught us not to be afraid to be different and to accept others for their differences. Just a show about friends helping each other out and always being there for each other.


Now I'm probably just being a nostalgic geek over this show but rewatching the show again has made me realize how great it was for its time. I wish there would be more kids today who could watch this show rather than the watered down silly version that is Teen Titans Go. The characters grew from their experiences and grew right alongside with them. Basically, what these reruns have shown me is how much I miss kids shows that can push tell gripping stories even if they do go a bit dark sometimes. I miss the way shows like this taught us something valuable while still having amazing action pieces and incredible character development. 

What do you think? Leave a comment down below. Did you like Teen Titans? Do you prefer the new Teen Titans Go? 

But those are just my two cents. Thank you for reading.

BOFURI vs Infinite Dendrogram: Battle of the VRMMO for Winter 2020           In a market dominated by the likes of Sword Art Online (SAO), the shows that revolved around the concept of VRMMO's has lacked in originality and quality. Whenever shows like these come out, it becomes natural for people to compare it to  SAO whether that be for better or worse. For this I would like to talk about a couple of shows that have come out this season, discuss the differences between these them and why I think that one works while the other is just following the natural order of the genre. Both worlds seem to take influence from what SAO had originally built upon. The fantasy style setting with the ability to wander a living, breathing virtual world. However, the difference between BOFURI and Infinite Dendrogram become apparent when everything else is taken into consideration.                 We are a quarter of the way through this season for these two shows but I will say that I
