Talk:Teen Titans (TV series)

message: ATTENTION EDITORS: There have been several edits in the past couple of months to these sections that contain unsoruced material that are basically episode plot summaries used to defend one position or the other.

replies: text: I removed the paragraph because it was basically a plot summary of an episode. Sure "Go" establishes how the Titans became a team, but it doesn't resolve the continuity issue. I don't think we're going to find an answer in the show itself because the creators keep this issue ambiguous on purpose. I think this section already contains enough information about the show to conclude that there is no, and probably never will be an answer for the question of continuity. --malber 10:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I support that. While the issue probably needs a mention, enough is enough, and original research must be purged. --InShaneee 03:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Robin's identity/Secret Identities/Continuity 

message: So it appears likely that the show has been cancelled (though not yet reported on IMDB). It would be nice to have a much more reputable source for this than a fan site. However, CN is notorious for not releasing press reports about canceled shows (see Samurai Jack). I think the sentence on this should be toned down. As it stands right now it seems a bit POV pushing. A show's cancellation, no matter how emotional you are about it, is a factual event that should be reported NPOV.--malber 11:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cancellation 

message: Folks, and fanboys and fangirls, Terra was never a permanent memeber of the Titans. She is, for all intents and purposes, dead. She does not belong in the list of founding Titans. Note that this is also concurrent with the comics storyline. --malber 13:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Terra 

message: I'm inclined to remove the newly added paragraph about this ep, but I'd like some other opinions first. It really doesn't add anything to the discussion on the series' place in continuity (nor could it, as far as I see), and if it were to offer any more detail than it already does (say, to explain HOW it was starfire learned to speak english), we'd be going outside the scope of this article. If there's no opposition in a few days, I'll go ahead and remove it myself. --InShaneee 03:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: *Actually, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I agree with you--it's not really important enough to warrant its own paragraph. Even if it were to be elaborated, I don't feel it really belongs here, anyway. Gemtiger 04:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

*It has also been stated that good sales of Trouble in Toky could spawn future Titans projects... EO
There is a Teen Titans episode on Batman: The Brave and the Bold called "Sidekicks Assembled" even though they never mentioned the word "Teen Titans". I don't want to spoil it, but I can say that Robin, Speedy and Aqualad are in that episode.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.135.241 (talk) 19:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canceled 

message: Okay, so I'm curious. Where is Superboy? Isn't he like a huge character in Teen Titans comic books. What about the other heros too in the comic book series? Were there contract issued which prevented Superboy from being in the show?
I've re-added the list of characters and the image.  has stated the intention of making the article easier for new readers, and there have been some very good edits of fanish material, but I think the paragraph here is redundant to the intro, or that some of this material can be added to the intro. I also think it's dangerous to state that Terra was a main Titan. While it is factually correct, especially considering the source material, in the show she was only there for a few episodes when compared to the bulk of the show. Listing her as a main Titan only invites the fan-kids and the shippers to expand and speculate.
The general guideline for TV shows is to have a list of characters ala IMDB so this is why I readded the list. I also think the FU image of the main cast is an appropriate graphical representation of the cast. Thoughts anyone? --  15:19, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heroes section 

message: Can someone please enter a section, or at least a small paragraph, involving the current and upcoming DVD releases announced for the series? I'd do it myself, but I'm not quite sure where the information should be placed in the article. --Thores, 05:02, 05 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  DVD Releases 

message: What seperates Teen Titans from other superhero shows is the fact that the Titans will combine their powers into spectacular maneuvers.  Would it be a good idea to add a "Maneuvers" section to this page?
:No. While this happened a few times, it's really too small of a detail to be of any use to anyone, nor to be encyclopedic. --InShaneee 20:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur, however a comment that, like the original comic, the show focused on the importance of a team working together to acheive a goal may be okay. Putting this in an non-original research context might be difficult. --  20:47, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm inclined to delete this entire section. It's interesting speculation, but I don't think it will ever rise above original research especially now that the show has been cancelled. Thoughts, anyone? -- Malber (talk • contribs) 17:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  I don't recall Bruce (Timm) ever making any comment like the one cited in the section, so that can probably go. And the Kid Flash costume in "Flash and Substance" was just a standard Kid Flash costume-- it wasn't a reference to Teen Titans. Other parts of the section seem to be mainly composed of simple facts which can be easily verified by watching any of the animated series mentioned. I would request that, with the exception of those first two points, you hold off on any sort of deleting action for a while; I believe there is at least one major interview coming out in the near future which deals with some of the continuity questions.

thread_title:  Continuity again 

message: In response to DarthVader1219's edit summary, "Give me one good reason why a transcript of an IRC chat is less verifiable than a transcript of a podcast?," I can not only provide one, I can provide several.
*A transcript of an IRC chat posted in a web forum is specifically excluded from being cosidered a reliable source. If this chat interview was published on at the very least a fan site with a minimum of editorial oversight, it could be considered for inclusion. But to date it has not. It isn't verifiable because it could be easily faked. I'm not saying one way or the other if it is, but we have no way to know for sure. This is why it's not considered a reliable source.
*Wil Wheaton posts a link on his own site to the podcast, so it is something that is verifiable. It meets the exception for self-published sources because Wheaton qualifies as an insider. Moreover, the article doesn't state that what he said as fact, just that he said it. Which leads to my next point...
*This issue was considered resolved above (see Talk:Teen_Titans_%28TV_series%29#Cancellation_Part_2) with the compromise text that Wheaton's story has not been supported by offical sources. If the alternative story is ever published in a reliable source, please feel free to include it.

replies: text: Agreed. Indeed, no one is saying that Wheaton is correct; merely that we can verify that he said what he said. --InShaneee 15:39, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well they put up a transcript. Yes, Malber, the earlier issue was resolved rather amicably, but the  fact is that the incorrect information is still on the Wiki page. Hopefully this is good enough for you. 65.29.81.147 05:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

message: What the heck happened to these? They used to be nicely formatted with no borders. Now they have borders and…Japanese voice actors? And I've noticed that the Titans list has grown to add ancilliary Titans that were not main characters.

replies: text: Seriously yes. Do we really need a Titans East table? Or Honorary Titans that were in one, maybe two episodes as a major character? This is why we have a separate list. —Malber (talk • contribs • game) 21:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We do have the Minor table. My thoughts were always that any characters that aren't mentioned here, but have their own pages, could simply be linked to in a 'see also' section there. Also, I agree with both of your suggestions there. --InShaneee 03:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Titans East and Honorary Titans should go to the list article. The Villians should go back to the major arc villians list it used to be. Red X is just Red X and should be just on the list, even though he was somewhat recurring. This needs to go back to basics. I don't mean to belittle these characters, but many of them were seen in no more than three or so episodes. I think we should give it about a day or so and if there aren't any objections then do it. Most of the edits to this section seem to be fly-by-night anon and newbie edits. —Malber (talk • contribs • game) 04:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Because the Monty Python references are used for a stereotypical effect. The purpose of the reference to Monty Python was supposed to be tribute, but it came across as offensive.
