#STARFIRE LIVE ACTION SKIN#
We were all expecting Starfire’s skin to be altered post-production to resemble her original, extra-terrestrial Oompa-Loompa self, but nope, she’s just a human woman with red, curly hair. Gone is the bubbly, energetic, orange-skinned alien, and in her place is…a human woman. I’m sure you all came into this article expecting me to rip into the trailer’s portrayal of Starfire. Were he Jason Todd -an ex-Robin who was killed by the Joker, resurrected by a magical pool known as a Lazarus Pit (long story), and then started wielding guns as the vigilante Red Hood- I might not have batted an eye. But instead, this Robin drives his R-shaped shuriken into the neck of one thug, snaps the neck of another, and shoots the rest with a gun. Now, normally anyone trained by Batman (a man as staunchly anti-killing/gun as he is skilled in deductive reasoning and every form of martial-arts) would just knock out the thugs. Sure, he’s got some issues when it comes to Batman (what member of the Bat-family doesn’t), but I’m positive you noticed a particular problem around the fifty-second mark when he confronts some street-level thugs. Let’s start with the robin-colored elephant in the room: Dick Grayson, aka. And let me tell you that whoever was in the trailer, they are not the Teen Titans. The tone of the trailer is excessively moody and dark, almost identical to the maligned Suicide Squad movie, and the characterizations of all the Titans save one or two are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Now, I am by no means a Teen Titans expert, but I have read enough of their comics (and watched the entirety of the DC Animated Universe, including the Teen Titans cartoon) to get a good beat on their intended personalities.
The comments are almost universally negative, and I’m jumping on the bandwagon too. IGN recently released a trailer for the live-action Teen Titans show, giving audiences a good look at the characters in action. But as bad as it seemed back then, things have only gotten worse.
We all had our doubts about the live-action Teen Titans show when it was announced, especially having caught a glimpse of the characters.
