Yay!! Thank you so much for using my songs! I hope people will discover me a bit more now xD

Don't let the awesomeness of Haunted distract you from the fact that Raven got Catfish'd by a book.

Best part of Haunted was when Raven discovered Robin was seeing Slade; "Slade might not be real, but he's real to Robin, and Robin is losing." It was such an interesting notion about conflicting reality that really stuck with me as a kid.

Probably my favorite touch of Haunted is how when Robin is chasing Slade through the forest, Slade doesn't affect the trees he lands on and you can see the rain doesn't hit him the way it does Robin. When watching it my brother knew from there that Slade wasn't real.

When I was a kid, I always wondered about when BB Tells Raven "you think you're alone, but you're not". On the surface he's clearly saying "we're your friends", but I wondered if the deeper implication was that he himself sometimes feels creepy and outcast due to being a green changeling, but he deals with it in a different way. By putting on a carefree happy exterior, rather than a cold reserved one.

I felt that starfire's planet felt really empty because there was no world building in the episode. Every time I watch that episode it just feels like her whole planet is just the palace and the rest of the world is just barren jagged rocks

When I was a kid, I never really noticed it, but as an adult I really appreciate the subtleties of Raven and Robin's relationship. As the two reserved members of the group, it makes sense that they would connect and support each other in a more nuanced way than they would with the other members, and this is especially emphasized in the next season (which happens to be my absolute favorite storyline-wise). To me, it looks like Haunted and Spellbound set up their relationship in the next season.

the episode where robin has those visions of slade and gets beaten up is one of my favorite epsiodes ever and it scared me to death as a kid it still sacarees me today too. it was so good and creepy. "slade please... stop" "no robin. I will never stop"

I actually loved the Red X episode. A large part of Teen Titan's charm is how it can shift between serious and comedic tones; and I don't need an episode to go all in on one mood. I think the Red X hit a good balance, but that's just my opinion. And I think keeping Red X mysterious and not really delving into his background kept the episode more focused on Robin's point of view and state of mind. Love these videos!

Insert Haunted is arguably the best episode of the series here. Okay but for me the interesting bit is the character development in Robin. In "Nevermore" you notice how adamant Robin is that he will NOT bother Raven if she wants to be alone, because that's what HE would want someone else to do for him if he wanted to be alone. And now he understand that sometimes you have to push a little harder to get others to open up to you and that it's important for people to push him as well. Even if it might be a bother or draining. He recognizes that this might be something he needs to do for Raven now and rather than leaving her alone, like he had snapped at his friends to do for him. He tries to be there for her and understands the difference between meddling and his friends worrying over him. Amazing review! I'm jumping on these everytime you upload like there's no tomorrow!

I think I know how this series is going to end. It's going to be something like "Is Teen Titans as great as we remember? Yes and no. In some ways it is far greater than we remember (insert examples), but in other ways the show falls short of the greatness we remember (insert possible examples). (Insert closing comment and recommendation for the show)." Or something along that line. You better not change your answer if I'm right!

This was excellent! Robin's PTSD and struggle with moral dilemmas, are some of the best elements in the entire series. "Haunted" is probably my personal favorite episode of the whole show. Keep it up!

"Haunted" to Teen Titans is, what "Perchance to dream" was to Batman TAS. It's funny how at first TT seems some gimicky show that tried to capitalize on Anime craze of that time, but at closer inspection, it turns out to have pretty good writing and it worthy to stand along other great WB/DC shows.

This is heavy. Now you're making me wonder if my own death had enough consequence.

One part of Haunted that I think is creepy looking back on it is the part where Slade is beating Robin around the end of the episode and says “you always knew it would end this way.” cause it’s all in Robins head he’s kind of admitting that he feared being killed by Slade. I don’t know how much sense that makes because I had trouble phrasing it. I just think its kinda creepy (and sad tbh)

Can I just say how much I adore the way Mad Mod refers to the Titans as 'My Duckies.'

preface: starfire is my favorite character, hands down, no question. for the starfire episode in season three, i feel like you missed a lot of the prerequisite statfire subtext that made the episode so great. i mentioned these feelings in an earlier comment, but i'll reiterate the ideas. starfire, in season one, has to fight off kitty from robin. by actively fighting kitty with her own power instead of trying to emulate kitty's feminine drama, starfire becomes more powerful emotionally, as she has learned how to protect the things she cares about. in the following episode, starfire goes through a physical metamorphosis that reflects how she has become more emotionally strong- that episode also had the benefit of showing that all the titans really care about starfire and would scour till the ends of the universe to find her. this helps bring a sense of justice to the idea that starfire is the heart of the team. likewise, all of starfire's plots involve her (the heart) having to leave, or grow more powerful emotionally. i can understand if you don't like this kind of episode. i love this episode because it shows that starfire is becoming an actual contender to the throne of tamaran. she isn't just a princess; she's slowly becoming a queen. blackfire and starfire's main conflict is that starfire is a kinder and more genuine individual than blackfire, and so starfire earns every single thing she gets. unlike blackfire who uses starfire as a gambling chip, starfire is willing to do what's right for her people and her country. this is important because it makes starfire more than just some alien genki girl! she is willing to live out a horrible fate for her people's future but is also ready to contend against the corrupt blackfire! the episode never spells this drama and conflict out into specific terms, which may be where some of the confusion comes from. i feel like you're missing a lot of what makes starfire such a good character. instead of seeing that she's literally strong enough to best blackfire in just one shot (which she wasn't able to do in season one,) you've been focusing on the comedic elements of starfire's character. she and beast boy are more than just comic relief, and i feel like a lot of people ignore how good starfire's unconscious arc was. it's not just that starfire cares about her people- it's that she's willing to fight for them, instead of running away (like she did to earth.) and even at the end of the episode, starfire runs back away to earth! she doesn't even keep the throne she liberated! starfire has much more growing to do before the season ends- that's part of the reason why i feel people ignore starfire. they don't see that she starts of from a place of *total uncertainty,* where she doesn't even know the planet that she lives on! her struggle is one that is characterized by learning how to use one's caring personality to become stronger as an individual.

I'd love it if you'd review Avatar: The Last Airbender one day

I find that my favorite episodes as a kid are the ones you say "add nothing" or are "boring". And the ones you love, I found boring. I have to rewatch this series to see how I feel now.

Interesting perspective on the episodes so far but I actually really liked Raven's episode "Spellbound" for the reason you liked Robin's episode "Haunted". "Spellbound" just cut way too deep to me what with going through the same problems of really bad social anxiety, not fitting in with anyone at school, and being thought of as "weird". When Raven gets yelled at by Beast Boy calling her "Creepy" and Raven quietly replied with "I'm not creepy, just different...." That totally got to me, it felt way too surreal to me and it cemented Raven as my number 1 Teen Titan character. Granted I didn't get tricked by a magic man turned dragon in a book but still LOL Anyway, I do agree that Haunted is easily one of the best episodes from a writing & presentation perspective. I won't lie, when I first saw the episode as a middle schooler, I thought it was annoying because I thought Robin was being an annoying jackass but then when I re-watched it years later, I got what the episode was trying to convey with it and I ended up really liking it. The whole "Cause and consequence" thing you mentioned which totally brought a dark realism to the Robin's dilemma. And the Starfire episode, yeah it was a pretty pointless episode since we didn't get to learn more about her people to make it all the more impactful when Starfire decides to go back to Earth. The only cool thing about the episode for me was just seeing Blackfire again. She's a bitch for what she did but I just thought she had a cool looking design and awesome voice LOL (Still surprised that Hynden Walch, voice actress for Starfire also voiced Blackfire and even Madam Rouge. Woman has incredible range!) Anyway, great review, looking forward to part 6!

Haunted is SO good! I love when shows dive into characters and what makes them tick and define their motivations, etc. As for your feelings on Betrothed, I think this episode was about fleshing out the Starfire/Robin dynamic much more so than world-building (which I also would have loved to see). And Spellbound is actually one of my favorites, because I can relate: I'm extremely introverted and it takes a while for me to open up to others, and I love how you pointed out that Robin actually DOES knock on her on her door and try to talk to her...and she refuses. Maybe she felt like a burden and didn't want to bother him, or that he wouldn't understand or want to (considering how Beast Boy treated her at the beginning of the episode, it kinda makes sense that she wouldn't). I also love how the episode showed how desperately she craves a connection that she latched on to this "man" without much thought/hesitation. She just wants to be accepted, and it comes beautifully full circle with BB and that hug. I liked the Red X ep, mainly because of the moral questions and the potential it has for future stories. Can't wait for the next part! (:

hold on, are gizmos goggles the omnitrix from ben ten?

Haunted is and will always be the greatest episode of the entire show in my book. Us the audience know that Slade really broke Robin. Robin fears and resents Slade, and is haunted (no pun intended) by the idea that they're similar. To see the other titans begin to question Robin's sanity, and Starfire being the only one who dosn't belive that he's finally snapped. And then we have Robin realize that Slade really was all in his mind. He gives Starfire a weak smile and a, "It's ok,.. Starfire.. It's okay." before collapsing in her arms. Realizing that Robin gave himself all those injuries and could have died, absolutley terrifying. It's a deep Pshycological explanation of Robin's character, and it really makes him human. At the end of the day, all of us have our own Slades, worries that haunt us in the darkest corners. We all have regrets, fears, and anger that torment us. Sometimes we wind up like Robin, being "Haunted" by the past, and unable to move in a better direction. Not everyone is able to confront these fears, and truly defeat them. And that, is why Haunted is a masterpiece, and greatest episode of this show.

I loved Haunted when I first watched the series a couple months ago. My absolute favorite episode. Its direction, writing, mood, everything. It was so well done. It was the best way to deal with Robin's obsession with bringing Slade down IMO. The performances of Scott Menville and Ron Perlman are top notch here too. No pun intended, but I think Starfire subtlety shines in this episode. Seeing her cry after Robin grabs her arm, and the confusion in her voice, "You are hurting me" gives me the feels every time. Not to mention how persistent she is in helping Robin out. It came through shooting him in the back to bring him to Titans Tower for testing, denying that Robin is not normal and insisting there is a cause to his issue, and hastily moving to recover him as he says, "It's okay, Starfire. It's okay." Not to mention she affirms that Robin is never alone when he feels like he's the only one who thinks Slade is out there and trying to stop him. It's one of the many reasons why Star is my favorite character. Her unwavering compassion for her friends is so awesome, and she will do anything she can to help them. Your points on Betrothed make a lot of sense. The planet and culture of Tamaran are not as fleshed out as they could have been, plus Starfire is getting married to a blob. I feel like if it was another Tamaranean like what the comics did, it would have been more compelling and it could flesh out Robin and Starfire's relationship a lot better than the episode did. A two-parter could have made it more interesting. I do not know if anyone else feels this way, but Star feels tremendously underused in this show. She got amazing episodes when they focused on her (How Long is Forever?), but I feel like they did not know how to use her most of the time. She seemed to be used as comic relief with her misunderstanding of English syntax and bubbly nature, when in reality, her strong episodes made me wanna see what else could be done with her character. She sounded so strong and wise. They felt few and far between. It sucks because I love Star and how loving and sweet she is to the team, and her character is not as developed as it could have been. Her character is the one that truly hurts since she was the only Titan who never got a season to herself.

You made a great point about character death. Despite the shock value and ingenuity Game of Thrones had in killing characters for shock value, I think most characters died without much consequence.

I'm pretty happy about how faster you're watching those episodes and bringing us videos, seems like you're enjoying the series :)

See, another vibe I get from that Mad Mod episode is that they can make plans just fine without Robin. That's not to say Robin isn't an essential part of the Titans, he certainly is, but he's not necessarily always NEEDED to create strategy and enact effective tactics. He's not the only person who can best direct everyone, they're capable of directing themselves when they remember they can. Now I don't think that's a direct attack on Robin's character by the writers or anything, I just find it really interesting to explore since Robin does, throughout the series, struggle with his self-esteem and place in the Titans. I just find it a little wink and nudgy, y'know?

For me the Teen Titans animated series was one of those shows growing up where I kept giving it a chance, but with the exception of a few episodes i really didnt like the majority of it. The one with Raven and Malchior was one of the episodes that I really liked though, and one of the few I still remember most of. Looking back on it, the strangest part is that it actually holds even more personal meaning to me, since I actually went through an abusive relationship that was very similar in theme a few years ago; me being very introverted but having a manipulator try to "change" me to "make me happier" only to turn out to be a monster of a human being who only wanted to use me, then got rid of me when i was no longer "useful" to them.

This video series is absolutely fantastic. I'm always waiting for more.

I just want to say that your narration has gotten a lot better over the course of this series. It used to be much more difficult to listen to you but now I genuinely enjoy it. Great job man.

I hope you do the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Great series btw, you got a sub out of me! Edit: As a side note, I think you're missing the point of the Robin and Starfire episodes. Their purpose isn't necessarily to further develop (or flesh-out) characters, they're meant to show that in spite of all of their heroics and duties, Robin and Starfire have a clear interest in one another. There need to be some episodes devoted to showing the complicated relationship between Robin and Starfire. At the end of the day, despite Robin's difficulty to switch off and Starfire's misunderstanding of Earthly customs, both have an undeniable interest in each other romantically that gets somewhat buried in other episodes because of the heavy character development and action. They pepper these episodes throughout the show to remind you that, yes, Robin and Starfire - much like the show - still care deeply for each other even if they can't show it as often because the other important things that are happening or when they need to add episodes for levity to balance out the heavier (ie: Terra) elements of the show. It isn't bad that it fell flat with you, but it does resonate pretty well those that want to see them together.

IT'S JASON TODD -Beast Boy

This series is absolutely amazing. Can't wait for part 6

Looking up the British pop culture references in "Revolution" on the Teen Titans wiki was pretty fun, but there was actually one I noticed that they left out. There was a brief scene where the titans accidentally get in front of a bullseye target that was just like The Who's sign. It was blue on the outside, white in the middle, and red in the center.

When you finish with this series you should do Young Justice! I've really loved your analysis of Teen Titans, and I'd be curious what you would have to say about Young Justice. Anyways, keep up the good work!

"If you have *stopped* me, then why am I still here?"

Haunted is such a great episode. Even when i caught on tv not too long ago it had me shook. As a child it made me afraid of the dark plus there's the mystery at the end of who activated the mask from outside the tower. Great video! Do you think you'll cover other western cartoons of the 2000s? (pls be avatar, pls be avatar, pls be avatar) Also it's great you were able to progress pass your mental issues.

Gosh, Haunted scared me so much as a kid. Everything you said rings true: the music, the lighting, just the way scenes flow together made 8 year old me very nervous watching it the first time. Me still being afraid of the dark, this episode played on that fear well. It's still a FANTASTIC episode.

This was so great, as usual! I can’t wait to see more!

After you finish the series are you going to do the movie as well?

Amazing as always, really loving these videos!

"Spellbound" was an episode that really resonated with me, as did Raven in general. I have autism, and with that came some social anxiety. I understand all too well what it's like to feel different just from what you see in others, and how hard it is to reach out to those who don't think or react the same as you do. And sometimes when I felt I could open up, I'd overdo it. I still have that problem as an adult, where I can't always read the situation right, or figure out what to do in response. Raven's natural tendencies are clearly different from those of her friends, and if they want to understand her they can't always compare those tendencies to their own. It's nice to see Beast Boy begin to respect that in the end. He saw what it meant to her to have someone not judge her. And after going through the same thing with Terra, he's able to give her what she needs. Not just comfort, but the knowledge that even thought he won't always understand her, he's somebody she can trust.

Great video essay! I love your series and it never fails to put a smile on my face when I find out that a new video has been posted. Keep up the good work!

Can't believe you left out the last part of that episode "the signal was activated out side of the tower" dun Dun DUN!!!! Really good episode though, would have liked it if they would have followed up on it later on though they kinda hint at it maybe.

This is the best series review on anything I've ever watched. Keep up the good work!

Great video!!! Totally worth the wait

I look forward to these videos so much! As soon as I see one come out, I have to click on it. They're so in depth and well thought out, and I'm so happy someone's taking the time to analyze this series, which is one of my all-time favorites.

Awesome! I was hoping part 5 would come out today!

Amazing video as always. Honestly, I don't remember every episode but as you go on, I am remembering bits and pieces of the best episodes. Ones that really got through to me. It's a wonderful feeling. Thank you for letting me relive those episodes.

This has been such an amazing series, thank you for all the hard work

Keep up the good work! Always a treat to watch your Teen Titan reviews. :)

I've never been one to delve into the deeper means of media but I do enjoy hearing how others interpret them. Keep up the great work. I'm going to follow this series for as long as it goes.

i love this series so much and i’m so happy it led me to your channel

This is my favorite current miniseries on youtube. Cheers for putting so much work into it!

All of your thoughts, opinions and reviews have been spot on the whole time There is just one thing (from my point of view) You expect every episode to be better than the last and/or a masterpiece But that's impossible, if you liked one episode, then the next is just a normal episode, it doesn't make it bad, it just makes it a normal episode, instead of one that suverbs our expectations

Love it. Thank you! Can’t wait for the next one

I've been re-watching the series along with your videos and I've been able to pace it pretty well but with the new format you're doing I may have to speed it up! Great work, once again!

Omg I get so happy whenever I see one of these. Thanks for this content dude.

Love the new format! Keep up the great work!

Awesome video this is making it easier for me to remember what happened before the new season but it also gives me a new perspective and understanding of the series which I'm loving LoL keep em coming bro

Whoa, hearing your review of Haunted was the best thing yet! I really loved that episode and now feel like rewatching it after over a decade!

KEEP THEM COMING!!!! WE LOVE THIS

Great video! I look forward to the next part!

Loved the new format man! Keep up the awesome work!

These videos are great! I love the detailed analysis that you do on each episode in the seasons! Please keep doing what your doing!

I get so immersed in your videos that I forget to look at the timestamp I am on and then *BOOM* Video is over and I'm dying over here. Gah! Another amazing video and I can't wait for part 6. :3 It's getting even more amazing!

this series is really good, you're very easy to listen to. cant wait for more, keep it up

i just binged all 5 parts and honestly im really glad this part existed because i honestly didnt expect it after seeing part 4 was from aug 26. cant wait for part 6 and thank you for doing this

Dude, these are great. Keep 'em coming!

As always, wonderful video!

These are top notch analysis videos so great

Really appreciate you reviewing these episodes with us like this. Don't have anyone else to watch or discuss things like these with anyone else. I was able to enjoy this series the most I possibly could alone but it is nice to share that opinion with others too :)

Just found ur channel and this series inparticular. Im obsessed man and i love the way you break thongs down. I also love how when someone disagrees with you in the comments you acknowledge it in your videos. You got a subscriber man keep it up!

Yes! Another awesome vid!

I'm in love with this series. Amazing JOB :)

Haunted is my favorite episode from Teen Titans, and the one that has stuck with me the longest since it first aired. Thank you for the detailed look into why it was such a memorable experience and bringing back good memories.

Great vid!

I would love for you to do videos about each character and their development throughout the series, how they evolved, etc. I love that you’re doing this series and exploring a show I care so deeply about

Awesome video!! Can’t wait for the next one :-)

Hey man been lovin this series! Keep up the good work

I love this series!!! Im so glad I saw it randomly in my Recommended list and started watching them. I saw the series just before you uploaded your 3rd episode and I am watching them whenever I see them uploaded!! I also love your style of telling everything about the episodes and everything you have a different way of thinking then me and made me think of something I never thought about and I love that!!

nice totally glad to see this today and can't wait for the next one

Amazing video lowart, at the begining I disliked the idea of reviewing the season by types of episodes, but the more I watched the better I was able to understand your decision, it makes it easier to see "the big arc" more profoundly and to separate it from the anvils of the more regular episodes, I commend you for that. On the other hand, this approach might hurt on the study of the season as a whole. But, if your reviews are going to maintain the quality and analytic observation, I'm not going to complain. Amazing video, great idea of separating the season and, I just adore your work, keep doing what you do, it's quite glorious. BTW the editor did an amazing job, if I weren't so broke and had a decent paying job I would totally support you on patreon but sadly I can not, the only thing I can give you is a like and my admiration. Greetings from Chile

I really enjoy watching these. It makes me understand more about the series. Thank you =)

This is SUCH a nice series to wait a couple days for! Haunted truly was one of the best episodes!

It's refreshing to hear somebody reference their own anxieties and trauma casually in a video like this. thank you 🧡

Great series! It's neat to analyze the shows of my youth in the light of adulthood. You've earned a fan and a sub.

Great video can’t wait for the next one. I saw a video by nuxtaku, another youtuber and he gave a meaning to Slade’s evil lair. He said that the gears and cogs represent his plan in motion and that the first time the gears stop turning is when the Titians foil one of his plans or something along those lines. The video was about how to make a relatively weak villain feel overpowered. I look forward to seeing your analysis of the rest of the series.

This was such a wonderful watch. I often find myself during downtime wishing I had more of these to watch. On the other hand I really don't want this series to end. It's so well done. Keep up the good work my man

I discovered your channel though these videos! Awesome job! Keep up the great work!!!❤️❤️❤️

honestly one of the best commentary on a show that I have seen in a while. Keep up the great work dude. Def gonna sub to you

I look forward to these each week

Love your content man

Another enjoyable part covering some fantastic episodes this time.

Crazy coincidental how this gets uploaded right after i've just finished the last 4. I'm really liking your take and review of each season and plot and It's making me want to re-watch it. I have watched the series all the way through, but I still was only about 10 when I did so. So it's nice looking back at episodes I remembered and enjoyed even if you are being critical of them. I even forgot there was 5 seasons and could have sworn Terra's arc was the last one, but now that I think about ti I'm starting to remember the rest. Anyway I'm really enjoying your reviews, keep it up.

I can't wait for the next episode, this series is so good

High quality stuff man.

I love the little details in the slade episode, like how he isn’t affected by the rain, or how when he’s jumping from branch to branch there’s no impact, its a great episode

So good! I need more!

I love this series you make some excellent points.
