Birds is the 42nd episode of the 1st season of Teen Titans Go!.
Synopsis
Robin removes two mockingbirds from the chimney with a gas he created in his lab, but the chemicals mutate the birds into muscular bullies who end up taking over the Tower.
Why It Should Get Attacked by Birds
- Questionable Title: The title of this episode sounds more appropriate for an episode title for a show targeted towards preschool-aged children (which many episodes of those shows more often than not have very simplistic one word titles that match up with the episode’s plot, the most famous examples are the titles of all of the Yo Gabba Gabba! episodes) not a show geared towards older children like Teen Titans Go!.
- This episode has a VERY GLARING PROBLEM. The entire plot is started by animal cruelty, details will be explained below.
- Plot hole: Why would the fire alarm be triggered for a chimney blockage in the Titans’ tower?
- The Titans are also kind of unlikable at the beginning of the episode because they force Robin to clear the chimney blockage. Why? They are being lazy. That’s not fair and not a good excuse!
- When Robin has to clear the chimney blockage, there is a pointless Mary Poppins reference and it is not funny.
- This is when the episode derails because Robin makes a “birdecide” with the intention of KILLING THE MOCKINGBIRDS NESTING IN THE TOWER’S CHIMNEY, that is very cruel and Robin should’ve relocated them not poison them. However, his “birdecide” did not kill the mockingbirds but mutated them.
- Plot hole/Scientific Inaccuracy: The Robin’s mutation proves the mockingbirds are both males as they look like muscular bird men and have male voices. Bird mating couples typically build nests to raise their young, so, two males is kind of jarring.
- The birds pooping everywhere is disgusting.
- Robin mutates mockingbirds again and they become weird big-brained aliens and they’re unsettling. The fight with them is very disturbing too.
- What doesn’t help is that the mutated mockingbirds become recurring characters and appear in later episodes as joke characters.
- Bad/Cliffhanger Ending: The episode ends with mutated mockingbirds laying an egg in Robin’s room and it starts to hatch but it ends on the first crack, so, the baby is never shown. It just ABRUPTLY ENDS AND IT DOESN'T GET RESOLVED BECAUSE TEEN TITANS GO! HITS THE RESET BUTTON EVERY TIME!
Redeeming Qualities
- The writers want us to hate the mockingbirds and they succeed in making them unlikable characters.
- Granted, Robin deserved to be imprisoned in the mockingbirds’ nest because he did harm them. So, it was an appropriate punishment for him.
Trivia
- This is the first Teen Titans Go! episode that is not a 22 minute long special that has 4 writers on the crew.
