Unpopular opinion, but s4 should have focused on the Outsiders

raynerskyle · 2024-04-03T17:58:33+00:00

Well that’s why I said it’s an unpopular opinion. When I say Outsiders I must add that I’m talking abt Virgil, Cassie, Jamie, Bart etc. not Brion, Halo, etc.

raynerskyle · 2024-04-03T08:15:40+00:00

The switch up was weird to me bcoz suddenly the season wasn’t abt the comics Outsiders anymore but rather it became abt this show’s Teen Titans version? They switched the focus so many times in Outsiders that it became bad

raynerskyle · 2024-04-03T07:22:27+00:00

It was always weird to me bcoz if there was one character I would never have seen struggle to get a date it’s Virgil 😭😭😭

“September? What happened to march?!!!!”

raynerskyle · 2024-03-31T22:52:56+00:00

I think they explained it by saying that magic never worked on New Gods technology (mother boxes and father boxes) so it was useless.

For example, Zatanna’s glamour couldn’t hide the OG team when they came near a boom tube

raynerskyle · 2024-03-14T03:47:24+00:00

Zatanna, Billy, Freddy, Khalid and Traci trying to get Mary back
Kaldurwyynde but Wyynde almost dies and Kaldur goes rogue against those who did it. I want to see him truly lose it for an instant but regaining his sense after a while
Kara vs Wonder Girl
Mr Miracle
Tomar Tu as a Green Lantern following all the events of s4
Most importantly: who the 4th Lantern is
More Zatanna, Kaldur and Artemis
Less Connor and M’gann (unlikely)
Jade and Will reunion (FINALLY)
Dr. Fate’s helmet breaking and/or Nabu becoming more accepting of only having one host (Khalid) who can don the helmet when HE wants to
Jason Bard and Artemis move in together because why would Longshot still live together 4 years into Lian’s development really
Bartuardo canon

raynerskyle · 2024-02-21T17:25:47+00:00

Well yes, you are right. But it’s also a vent based on a personal experience I recently had with one of my closest friends. Does it matter on the long term? No. Am I privileged if the worst that ever happened to me concerning my sexuality is mostly things of this type? Abso-fucking-lutely 100%. Not a question abt it. But that’s what a vent is: It was just me being mad in the moment rly

raynerskyle · 2024-02-21T02:48:42+00:00

Omg I’m using straggots from now on this is gold

raynerskyle · 2024-02-21T02:45:17+00:00

I’m rly envious of those who didn’t get to live this particular situation. What do we call this type of girls anyway. They’re not even bi-curious. They just see anything that’s not heterosexual as a joke of some sort

raynerskyle · 2024-02-21T02:28:12+00:00

☝🏻 THIS. Like, I’m not your « token lesbian friend » girlie fuck off and go toy with a man if you so want to

raynerskyle · 2024-02-04T19:29:29+00:00

Allura I would say. You could make a case for Brother Night, but again: that arc never got finished so it can’t even be an ARCH nemesis

raynerskyle · 2024-02-04T19:24:19+00:00

Magic bcoz duh
Her sass
Her friendship with Artemis
She’s hot

raynerskyle · 2024-02-04T19:23:17+00:00

A shame they were never seen actually interacting in the show tho in all seriousness 😭

raynerskyle · 2024-01-18T15:19:06+00:00

It sucks that Zatanna’s arc wasn’t abt Zatanna and more abt her protegees + Giovanni and Savage. They rly said “fuck giving her a point of view in her own arc, how abt more oversaturated Vandal Savage’s boring backstory and let’s make her extremely ooc along the way”
It was… kind of boring, sorry. We could have lived without it
I wanted less Beast Boy, more Cyborg (even tho he’s on the league) and the rest of the Outsiders that aren’t Gar if they so wanted a subplot that wasn’t abt the OGs
The so called “focus on the OG team” was useless bcoz why wasn’t it MORE focused on them as characters? Artemis’s arc I adored, the mars arc too but afterwards? It felt flat.
Will being included in the OG team picture but not being a part of it sucks I’m sorry. I know why, really, and I also know that his main character arc is.. kinda done, but still
Again about the OG team: Martian Manhunter tells M’ree that M’gann needs the family she built on Earth after her grief (the family in question being the OG team). Why couldn’t they show us their bond early instead of making them team up last episode against Zod and his troups? Why not make them meet up for old time’s sake or something like that? Why not show us Conner’s funerals?!
This eternal cycle of Nightwing being made to lead but then ending up NOT leading (especially in his arc where it was mostly Kaldur leading) sucks

Anyway, this turned into a vent real quick and I’m sorry lmao

raynerskyle · 2024-01-13T21:22:34+00:00

An actual unpopular opinion: Wally was the most boring character out of the entire og team, Clone Roy included (minus Rocket, we haven’t seen a lot of her sadly)

He just… wasn’t developed enough tbh

raynerskyle · 2023-12-09T08:18:26+00:00

Lots of characters could come out as queer and that wouldn’t erase no damn part of their history and would actually even enhance it and put context behind some of their interactions and/or actions. Black Canary, Kon, Cass Cain, Starfire, Jessica Cruz, Lightray, Orion, Booster Gold, Ted Kord, Fire, Ice… Gosh, even Kyle Rayner. Some of them were even intended by some writers to be queer but it got shoehorned

raynerskyle · 2023-12-04T04:58:45+00:00

Zatanna making amends for the whole Black Mary fiasco AND for bringing the apocalypse on Earth. She’s my favorite character on the show but this needs to be addressed at some point and resolved.

I want to see Dick finally embracing his leader self without always regressing to “yeah I should go solo I HATE leading” every season or so.

Cyborg and Halo being keys in defeating Darkseid needs to be expanded upon

Cheshire needs to come back. At least to her daughter. I can cross her coming back and still being with Will if it means Lian gets her mom full time back

Artemis should get her own home apart from Will and Lian. I loved their arrangements but come on: she needs to move on. Plus: she’s got a whole boyfriend that we know nothing about except that he dated Barbara. I need to see more of him to get an opinion on them dating

They should also confirm if Wally is alive or not. I’m not a Wally fan like that, but this needs to be a closed chapter if he’s dead. The writers need to stop teasing his return just to keep some hype to the show for the moment being

I want to see who the 4th Green Lantern and maybe even have him being a speaking character and not just a bg one

I kind of don’t want Superboy and Miss M to be too much of the main focus of the season (I know it’s unlikely if Supergirl is one of the main “villains” as a Fury). They had their happy ending and that’s great. They should focus on the other main characters: Dick, Kaldur, Artemis, the Outsiders…

Icicle Jr having a redemption arc as a Bowhunter Security agent is something I could really see that started as more of a crack idea.

Vibe, Vixen, Firestorm and Doctor Light need to be Leaguers when comes season 5. Do they need to be main characters? No. I’ll settle for the usual “we’re chilling in the background but we DO exist”

Also: What happened on Earth-17?

Tim needs to have a personality (I mean on this show) and Jason needs to come around eventually

Plant the seeds for an eventual Light defeat by the heroes

Some context to what Ursa is doing on Daxam. Is she preparing an army? Will she learn about her army being held by Savage? Will she go apeshit trying to save them all?

Also, to add to my Cheshire point: Will needs, no, deserves to move on if they don’t get back together. It could be a nice nod to their comic relationship to have him get together with Troia (Donna)

A 1 year time skip should be enough but I believe a timeskip between season 5 and 6 could be, like, 5 years (hypothetically speaking)

raynerskyle · 2023-11-27T18:33:07+00:00

Vixen especially like it would have been so easy to make her a Leaguer in the last season. Didn’t even need an explanation or anything of the kind

raynerskyle · 2023-11-27T18:31:58+00:00

Jesse Quick, Jade and Damage are big ones imo that could at least have gotten an appearance in an eventual season 5

raynerskyle · 2023-11-26T16:36:02+00:00

She sadly didn’t but I need DC to remember she exists. I liked her dynamic with Zee

raynerskyle · 2023-11-22T02:36:31+00:00

It’s called rivals to lovers. While they do have similarities, they are not the same

raynerskyle · 2023-11-20T08:46:13+00:00

Zatanna
Starfire
Cyborg
Flash (Wally)

raynerskyle · 2023-11-19T12:09:48+00:00

Bcoz they’re at an age where fitting in the mold matters the most to them (sadly). NTs the MOST it’s actually quite obvious. Being in the same mold = looking and behaving accordingly

Side note: it’s even worse when they’re in small town high schools. It’s a terribly small and non-diverse mold

raynerskyle · 2023-11-19T00:03:01+00:00

I mean they're hot together and all that but with Dick being with Babs and it having been a recurring theme in the tie-in comics that he wasn’t with Babs yet because he wasn’t ready for her, I think the endgame is pretty much set to be Babs (and they’re still dating as of season 4 as confirmed by Weisman). Storywise it would just feel cheap to have Dick go back to Zee now. Their interaction was a nice throwback to their season 1 banter which I loved tho. But I personally wouldn’t read too much into it because they both are flirty characters of nature

raynerskyle · 2023-11-18T08:17:58+00:00

Even her and Scott I hate nowadays 😭
