Teen Titans Go! (2013)
Great for adults, not children
I love this cartoon! It's really imaginative, and really nice and addictive to watch. I never thought a super hero show could be that way! Especially not a DC one, because they tend to take things more seriously. This one surprised me. It took some episodes, but it went up on the list to one of the best cartoons I've ever watched! The voice overs for the main characters are perfect, and the parody of super heroing and the DC universe is great!
I'm a convicted DC fan, by the way. Many fans don't accept this cartoon, because "it's making fun of DC" or "it's not the real teen titans". It's not supposed to be. We've seen them in animation before, we're seeing a more serious depiction in live action now. This is supposed to be funny, not show people how bad DC is, or something like that. It's just funny.
And that's the problem for children. As far as I know, the show is sold mainly to children, but the moral lessons are actually the opposite of what they should be (it's the punchline for some episodes - you expect it to lead to some lesson and in the end, the one that screws up gets on top). I, personally, think it's wrong for children. A friend of mine said his kids started acting more like the characters in ways that are not cool. I think the show should embrace its adult appeal, put a higher pegi, and air in the late night.
Oh, also, the intro song is too loud. If you're reading this, Dc, Warner, please, there's no need for the loudness of the intros. If I watch it when i'm sleepy at night (and forget to lower the volume), I can feel my pupils dilatating as my eyes open and my heart beats faster and louder. Seriously, I'm not joking, it's a disturbing sound, and I don't know how it keeps having this reaction in me, even with me knowing it.
Justice League Action (2016)
Funny, fast, addictive, and loyal to the characters
When I found out about this cartoon I was wanting more of what I got from Justice League and Unlimited. But it was different, more comical, it doesn't take itself too serious, like the previous cartoons. And, surprisingly, it pleased me a lot!
It has lots of similarities with Unlimited, which I liked, but it succeeds even more on it. The more child-friendly tone is actually welcoming charm for adults too!
When you make the characters more comical, there's always the risk of disappointing, of being actually out of character, but in this case, they nailed it!
There are some details though: the art took me a little bit to get accustumed with (except for Deadshot and Chronos, those I still think should have been different); and one or two of the voice overs (not recurring ones) could have been more original.
I think some people stopped watching whether because they wanted more of the same (to be like the previous cartoon), or due to inconsistency of the air dates, the show had some problems with that and I think that's why we don't have a season 2.
I would love to watch a second season (and, hopefully, a lot more). If DC and Warner lauch the episodes with right timing and order, I'm sure it's gonna be a success!!
