Did it get a lot of shit online for how it looked? Or did that one tweet complaining about Mei and calling her "it" just get a ridiculous amount of pass-around and suck the air out of the conversation? I’d love to see Bad Takes getting less attention, every time something like that tweet or the CinemaBlend review comes along it turns into half the conversation about a movie, even though it’s just one bad opinion that everyone feels a need to refute.

Agreed, and I say that as someone who loves where the show ends up going. (I’ve seen the whole thing via advance screeners.) Which is exactly why I wrote about it the way I did.

She’s a lot of fun on the show. It’s also clear she’s having a lot of fun. I wish you were too.

I had the exact same reaction, which is a big part of why I wrote this! I just don’t think that first episode in particular sells the rest of the series very well.

Re: Whether we see his parents die in this film, there’s no death scene or flashback to it, and no slo-mo flying pearls from Martha’s necklace, which I personally found to be a huge relief. So tired of that image, to the point where I thought the best thing about Teen Titans GO! to the Movies was when they mocked that trope specifically.
