Critics Consensus: Despite a few tonal growing pains, Titans does justice to its source material and truly shines when its titular ensemble finally assembles.
The negatives say this:
- Titans is not fun. It's relentlessly adult so much so that it's alienating, and so slow in developing the plot and bringing the characters together that it's frustrating.
- Titans is so determined to stand out on the basis of its TV-MA depiction of superheroes that it quickly becomes almost absurdly self-serious and self-aware.

I heard one that says they are mopey and sad separately, but then they join up and become mopey and sad together. What they showed of Jason Todd looks fun. But that might be how they put that "trailer" together. |

 The Titans are not bloodthirsty serial killers. The show is not staying true to the source material it's staying true to Hack Snyder's fetishes. Also, Rotten Tomatoes is a bought website. |

It's weird it's getting good reviews because the trailers were an abomination.

You're right. I remember a few examples like the first Star Wars film and classic Pixar movies having lackluster trailers, but the movies turned out to be great. |

Not a great score. But a passing one I suppose. It's not bad at all. I've watched and enjoyed shows with far lower scores. Hope the fans enjoy it... |

People are saying that Starfire is the highlight of the show.

saw episode 1 pilot, pretty decent. Cinematic, R-rated, brutal. Could be good if the characters make sense together.

Still don't get why people use the RT % score to judge or comment on shit, it's meaningless except for giving a ratio such as this says 3 out of 4 critics liked Titans, which actually is a good grade if you think about it, the actual info you should be commenting on is the average score which is 6.36/10 which when coupled with the % tells you something.
I like the show, the trailers & marketing imo did a piss poor job at selling it though, I also don't get some of the complaints I heard, because they really are bullshit, it's not perfect by any stretch but some of the complaints seem to be predetermined either based on the trailers or just preconceived hate for things regardless of their quality.

Back to 81% for what it's worth, the main complaints from the rotten critics is that it's too mature. Lol.
Anyway, it's far far away from the debacle predicted, not even close to Inhumans, IronFist or Defenders, the former the TV equivalent of Battlefield Earth.

Yeah, Wonder Woman is like 90% liked it but the actual score is 70%, 7/10 which is fair. |

its at 84% now.
Anyway, thought the second episode was very entertaining. Great villain family, very creepy concept. And stakes were high here. If that keeps up it's a fun show.
7/10

I haven’t watched it yet, but the consensus seems to be that while the show apparently is rather violent, the initial trailer was a somewhat poor representation of it.
