Titans (2018)
It's very ehh .
Titans isn't a very good show by any means although this doesn't mean that the show is as bad as other garbage Superhero TV like Supergirl or The Runaways or Batwoman
Compared to the CW shows . Titans has a very high budget . It's more professionally shot and has some pretty decent effects for the most part when compared to The Arrowverse
The main contrivances I have with Titans is with the writing , some of the performances and the overall colour grading . The writing for this show is atrocious . Characters are barely defined and introduced . The storyline is very poor and all over the place . Season 2 of Titans dealt with Trigon in a single episode and turned him into a bloody joke . Now compare this to the far superior Teen Titans Animated Series , the animated show actually dealt with the threat of Trigon and made him into an intimidating villain . The Animated Show actually showed us the impact of Trigon's destruction . We felt scared for our heroes . Now in the TV show we barely get any of that as Trigon's threat is barely felt and he is defeated by Raven pretty quickly . The Animated Show on the other hand actually had the titans working together as a team in order to defeat Trigon . We felt for the heroes as they did their best to stop Trigon's ominous threat . But that's too complex for The Live Action TV Show .
The Teen Titans are supposed to be one of DC's most vibrant and colourful characters but there are barely any brightly lit scenes in the show at all . Titans almost feels like a love letter to Zack Snyder's DC Movies . The colour blue has been used pretty terribly as it's use makes the show feel more oversaturated than before
The performances especially from Iain Glen imo is pretty terrible . Iain Glen doesn't know how to play Bruce Wayne at all . He's a terrible fit for the role . Jon Hamm would have been a much better choice
Overall watch this show if you want to but don't set your expectations to be high .
However if you want to check out the superior Teen Titans watch the animated show from 2006 . It's vastly superior than this mediocrity
Really hope Season 3 picks up some pace
