"Master Detective" is the seventeenth episode of the fourth season of Teen Titans Go!.
Summary
Trying to show his great detective qualities by searching the missing reef animals, Robin, along with the other Titans, find the Illuminati's lair.
Why It Isn't a Master Detective At All
- The episode itself doesn't feel like it belongs to the DC canon, instead, resembles something came out of a plot written by an A.I. such as ChatGPT because it's full of random things that happen without the reason and the context of why they're in it. It's probably the biggest jumping the shark in the entire series.
- The episode features the Illuminati, which is quite a miss argument to be talked and shown about because nobody really knows what they're supposed to be and what they are supposed to do. The episode simply tries to cash out them because of their popularity as memes and subliminal messages, without understanding their meaning.
- The episode even tries representing them as the evil ones without explaining why, and it's probably done to cash out on Gravity Falls' main antagonist, which is a pyramid with an eye.
- Ugly first impression: the episode opens itself with Robin acting like a stereotyped detective that shows his skills, then proceeds to follow a line of eaten candies and ends by saying useless trivia that are not useful for the plot.
- Then the other Titans let know to Robin that the animals outside the Titan's tower from the previous seasons were missing for all this time, letting the plot starts in a blatant way.
- There is this annoying gag in which Robin has a montage of himself showing him solving detective cases, which is too frequent and ends up being unfunny at all.
- The episode Is full of useless fillers as the already mentioned Robin's detective montages and the octopus interrogation scene.
- Speaking of the octopus (the animal of the fourth season), Robin believes that the octopus actually knows what happened to the other animals, so he decides to put it in a Bad Cop/Good Cop style interrogation, which lasts for too long cause for the big quantity of bad humor and fillers such like the octopus squirts out ink on Robin's face. Which ends up being mean-spirited.
- Robin finds out about a secret triangle and turns out it's referred to the Illuminati. This opinion comes from nowhere, because no triangles directly refer to the Illuminati's pyramid, but just the ones with the eye. As said before, it was made to cash out the popularity of Illuminati memes.
- At the end they really found the Illuminati's lair (which is under the animal rock), and then they meet and fight the Illuminati's chief named Lumino, which is just a Walmart version of Bill Cipher without his evil charm. Lumino has no powers and he lose the battle against Titans easily.
- Lackluster Ending: They defeat the Illuminati god only for him to confess that he's not the criminal that ate those animals, his friends insult him and Robin cries talk about good friendship right there and after they leave, it was revealed that the Illuminati god himself were actually those animals in the first place.
- Not to mention that the latest scene shows the octopus eating the animals, (something which was predicted by Starfire), and it comes quite horrifying.
- Furthermore, this left us with some unasked questions: in the first place, why were those animals evil? Why were they part of the Illuminati? And what were they supposed to do? Conquer the world?
- To conclude, in all of that, the entire episode has no sense at all.
Redeeming Qualities
- An episode focused on the missing animals of the previous seasons is a semi-decent idea.
- Robin's detective montages may be interesting and hilarious to some.
