Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Despite the fact that teen titans go is nobodyÕs favorite show, the movie is hitting some surprisingly
high notes.
Something that critics are especially enjoying is how self-aware the movieÑand how it is
unafraid to go ahead and make a little fun of itself.
Because they know if they donÕt, we would just do it for them realistically.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 easter eggs you missed in teen titans go to the movies.
In the number 10 spot, THE JUSTICE LEAGUE ANiMaTED SERIES.
There are many nods in the film to works of DC in existence, and even some to things yet
to come.
Here, when the team walks into warner brothers studio they see a billboard thatÕs got a
familiar four faces on it- the major players of the justice league.
If this looks vaguely familiar, itÕs because this is a recreation of a shot from the opening
credits of Justice League the animated series.
Next, at number 9, THE MOUSTACHE.
The team spots a poster advertising for a movie called Detective Chimp and the Case
of the Missing Moustache.
Seems an innocent enough reference to a DC character, but did you stop to wonder why
the S in moustache is a superman symbol?
This is a subtle but hilarious prod at the cgi used to hide Henry CavillÕs moustache
in justice league, which he had grown out for mission Impossible Fallout.
If you ask me, they should;ve just left itÑa mustached superman wouldÕve been one of the
best things about that mess of a movie.
Coming in at number 8, THE 1989 FONT.
The words Òcoming this summerÓ opened up the teen titans go to the movies trailer.
If you were around back in the day of the 1989 Batman, the font of this trailer may
look familiar.
Indeed it is the same font that was used by what could be considered one of the very first
comic book adaptation movies.
So itÕs nice to see this superhero farce pay some tribute.
In the number 7 spot, THE GREEN LANTERN MOVIE.
At one point, Starfire innocently asks Green lantern if heÕs ever gotten his own movie.
Green lantern answers by saying, Òwe donÕt talk about thatÓ.
This is an obvious jab at the mess that was the 2011 Green lantern movie.
ItÕs nice that DC isnÕt afraid to admit where they messed up, because we all know
their cinematic features havenÕt been the greatest latelyÑcould that change with this
teen titans go movie?
Up at number 6, THE INCREDIBLES 2?
This isnÕt an easter egg so to speak, but if you were feeling a little dŽjˆ vu watching
the movie, youÕre not alone.
And if you missed this entirey, now you know!
But the parallels between ttg and incredibles 2 storyline are quite strongÑboth teams of
heros want want respect and to be recognized as heroes.
Both teams want to go into the public eye.
Both face off against a mind manipulating villains who isnÕt who they appear to be.
Are we sure this isnÕt a rerun?
Coming in at number 5, AQUA MANATEE.
A movie poster that I found particularly funny was the one called Aqua Manatee.
ItÕs very easy to miss this one on account of the titans breaking out in a golf cart,
but it is a poke at the upcoming Aquaman movie and how people arenÕt exactly expecting it
to be a thrilling superhero film, but still probably fun to watch.
Just like manatees, those guys are pretty cute.
Next up, at number 4, NEXT NEXT SUMMER.
This little treat is actually in the same picture as the aqua manatee one; you can see
the words on the wall stating Òholding up bat pants everywhere next next summerÓ.
This is extremely subtle but can be interpreted as a bit of fun making with the fact that
every time we are promised a superhero movie, itÕs promised in next summer.
No, wait, next next summer.
Actually next winter.
Actually forget about it, itÕs not happening.
Up next at number 3, OTHER HERO MOVIE FLOPS.
The filmmaker in the movie Jade Wilson tells Robin that she only makes movies based on
real superheroes.
This cuts to a scene with lesser known heroes Shazam, Steel, and Jonah Hex gigglingÑbecause
the latter 2 had pretty undesirable films.
But does this mean that DC isnÕt expecting much for the Shazam film thatÕs coming out?
Way to set the stage there, guys.
DonÕt care, still gonna go see it.
In the number 2 spot, BATMAN VS JOKER.
The movie posters are indeed something fun for the discerning eye, and this one went
a little bit deeper.
The movie advertised is called Batman vs Joker, Yawn of Justice.
Sounds a lot like Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice right?
And trust me, the yawn was deliberate; we all know that movie had us half falling asleep,
half wondering what the hell was going on.
At least DC is owning up to it finally.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, STAN LEE.
This was hard to miss, but it was also one of the most brilliant little moments of the
film.
Despite the news reports stating that this was going to happen, a Stan Lee cameo in a
DC film really wasnÕt expected.
Yet there he was, poking obvious amusement at himself for needing to be in all superhero
movies.
And he played himself, despite all his health concerns and troubles going on in his life.
Once the king of cameos, always the king of cameos.
So those were the top 10 easter eggs from ttgttm.
Let me know in the comment section down below what you thought of the film.
