Titans - The Final Season Review

 


Titans is a streaming tv series that was created by Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, and Greg Berlanti. It was produced by Weed Road Pictures, Berlanti Productions, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television and distributed by Warner Bros. Television Distribution. This is the fourth and final season and it has twelve episodes, which brings the show's total episode count to forty-nine.





The story is after saving Gotham, the Titans are enjoying their free time celebrating another victory. They think things are gonna get better when they travel to Metropolis and go to Star Labs in not only the hopes of meeting Superman, but test out what else they can do. These happy times are soon cut short when they discover a sinister cult using dark magic. Now, the Titans must find out what this cult's endgame is, and hope they can stop them.








  • Negatives

I've got nothing. Just scroll down.








  • Mix

Now I'll keep this part short, but the CGI is decent at best. One half it looks pretty good, other times it's just wasn't believable.



The other gray area is the character development. The best part comes from the likes of Starfire, Superboy, and Beast Boy. Starfire has to learn about her new powers and her being part of a prophecy. Superboy is struggling with the being a clone of both Superman and Lex Luthor, are trying to figure who he's more like. Beast Boy gets to go on a journey where he learns there's more to him than what he thought. I would've gone into more detail, but some of you probably didn't see every episode just yet. Now because I didn't mention Nightwing and Raven you probably think they had it worse, but no, the worst goes to Tim Drake/Robin. Once he gets his bo staff you'd think we'd get major focus on him becoming Robin. But we didn't get that. In matter of fact, Tim barely goes through any intense training. He mostly just takes orders from Nightwing, gets confused about the magic stuff, or is in a romance storyline with Bernard (regardless of your own sexuality, if you hated that change in the comics, you're gonna hate it here). So when he finally does become Robin, it's not the big epic moment we were all hoping for, because the story itself didn't properly set that up.








  • Positives

Now for some positivity and one of those goes to the cult (and yes they do have a name, I'm just trying my best not to spoil anything), or maybe the whole dark magic thing in general. While we do get magic with Raven and some of that stuff was used in season three, here it goes full force. So it was a little creepy seeing how this cult works, and see what their magic does. Sometimes we just go into horror movie territory.



Then there's the action. There's definitely an improvement here from the last season. In fact, Dick [Nightwing] gets a pretty cool fight scene inside a chruch. I was actually looking forward to the next action sequence, as suppose to crossing my fingers and hope for something at least decent.



With this show the finales are pretty much all over the place. They can be okay like season one's was, season three's actually worked, and season two's was laughably bad. Thankfully season four went the route of a season three finale. Everything got wrapped up, and I thought the characters went where I think fans might appreciate.








The final season wasn't perfect, but at least it didn't end on a terrible note.








My final rating is, Okay.








That's all for now. Come back on Monday, May 15th, for a brand new Raiders of The Lost Media. For that I'll be telling you all about a canceled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
