Super Robin (Teen Titans Go!)

Super Robin (Teen Titans Go!)
Teen Titans Go! has a canon creepypasta and we wish we can unsee it.
Air Date: July 2, 2013 Writer: Adam Stein Director: Peter Rida Michail Previous episode: You’re Fired Next episode: Tower Power

Super Robin is the 15th episode of the 1st season of Teen Titans Go!.

Synopsis

Envious of the other Titans’ powers, Robin wants some of his own. After a disastrous scientific experiment goes haywire, he convinces Raven to use her magic to give him superpowers.

Why Its Far From Super

1. Firstly, this episode very dark and depressing. It feels out of place in Teen Titans Go! and feels more like a terrible Creepypasta.
2. Robin feeling jealous of the Titans’ powers feels forced.
3. In an attempt to give himself powers, Robin mutates himself with a Robin and it gets weird.
   • He looks like a weird bird person, he looks like weird hybrid of the rejected Marvel heroes, Fiona and Beak, who are both bird people who have the less attractive bird powers (everything but flight) and have bird attributes that make them less attractive (Beak looks like a newborn chick) and Fiona has a feathers for hair. However, he looks more like Fiona than Beak.
   • He also laid an egg and made an omelette with it, it was disturbing to many viewers.
   • The Titans even make fun of him and made him do the chicken dance. To think it became, it became a meme and staple on Cardoon Network as it was used in many bumpers during the commercial breaks.
4. Raven then uses her magic to give Robin powers, but they’re a hybrid of Superman’s and the Flash’s powers.
5. The Titans even disband over this, it makes NO SENSE.
6. The montage of Robin’s life after the Titans is unwatchable and depressing because Robin is shown struggling through life. (Not being able to get a job, find a wife, etc.)
7. Bad ending: It’s far in the future and the Titans are elderly, Raven tells Robin that her spell was really to teach Robin a lesson that powers are a curse. Robin then dies. What kind of lesson was Raven trying to teach him?!
8. The whole episode feels pointless as it is treated like a non-canon than a legit TTG episode, for instance it happens throughout the entire episode just to make Robin OP and letting the other Titans members disband, just to make him accursed.

Redeeming Qualities

1. The fight at the beginning of the episode was decent.
2. One can argue that Raven was trying to teach Robin self-appreciation, even if her method was too gruesome.
3. The episode also debuted Super Robin, a superpowered Robin who will go on to become a recurring character in the series.

Trivia

• Cartoon Network often used the Chicken Dance as a bumper in the middle of commercial breaks on their channel.
