Original TEEN TITANS Rumored to Being Held Hostage
I was on Twitter this weekend when I came across this tweet from the talented Tara Strong:
You can imagine my excitement when I first read the tweet. There’s real hope of bringing Teen Titans back! I’ve already shared how Michael Jelenic said that he wants to bring the show back so this is two sources saying that this very well could happen. In my excitement, I re-read the tweet and I was suddenly very displeased.
According to Strong’s tweet, the return of Teen Titans is conditional. It will only return if Teen Titans GO! to the Movies does well. This really rubbed me the wrong way. I’m a huge fan of the original cartoon, but I was really turned off by the commercials I’d seen of Teen Titans GO!. However, at the request of some of you readers, I decided to give it a fair shot.
I learned it’s not bad as a 5-minute short. When it gets longer than 5 minutes though, you start losing me. This means I don’t want to go see TTGttM, at least not at full theater price. However, I want freaking season 6 of Teen Titans. What am I to do?
Either, Strong’s tweet has been misread by many fans including myself, she was given a wrong impression of what’s happening, or this is a dick move in an attempt to boost box office numbers. I hope Teen Titans returns, and I hope that the return isn’t conditional as many of us have been led to believe. There are many fans of the original that don’t like TTGO! and that’s OK. Don’t twist our arms and dangle a carrot in front of us to go see something we don’t actually want to see.
