Review
After his debut in the season premiere, Brother Blood, the big bad of
season finally returns and the Titans, heroes that they are, go off to save
the day.
Veering off from the typical stop the bad guy plot, the story focused
heavily on Cyborg wanting to stop Blood himself, but Robin, fearless bad ass
leader that he is was having none of it, Cyborg had to fix the giant tower
whilst Robin, Starfire and Raven got to whoop ass.
It was nice to see Aqualad again, he didn’t really do anything except give
Beast Boy someone to talk to, but hey, The Titans needed to go under the sea
for something.
I found the episode to be perfectly enjoyable. It doesn’t live up to X or
Haunted, but it’s a nice way to spend 22 minutes. The main critique I have
is Bumblebee. She annoyed the hell out of me.
As with any Titans episodes, the humor was there, not as strong as
previously shown, but this reviewer had a few belly. Highlights include
Raven choosing death over going in Beast Boy’s mouth, and Cyborg complaining
about Robin’s orders.
Animation wise, it was delightful. Whilst there’s no denying the first 2
seasons were pretty to the eye, season 3 has really topped them both. X sets
the standard for all future episodes to live up to. This didn’t surpass it,
but it came damn close, which is all you can ask really.
