TEEN TITANS OG vs TEEN TITANS GO! In one corner we have the teen titan team from the original
animated series. In the other, the teen titan team from the newer and decidedly more cutesy
tv sow. But in a showdown between the two who will win? WeÕre about to find out. Welcome
back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 nerdÕs series VS, where
we take your favorite characters and pit them in battle to see who comes out on top. Before
we begin, let us know who you think will be the winner with a hashtag in the comment section:
Will it be #TEENTITANSOG or #eTEENTITANSGO? Lets get brawling. ORIGINS: So before we get
THROW ourselves into the ring with these two, letÕs take a moment to get to know our competitors.
If youÕre wondering why we are even doing this video, well, stick with usÑthe ending
will probably be just as you predict, but the ride might be kinda fun anyway! First
up, we have the team of young heroes and sidekicks from Teen Titans the Animated Series. The
show premiered in 2003 and ran for a good 5 seasons as a stellar success, one that people
are still missing even to this day. The show followed the main characters: robin, who was
portrayed as the group leader. Cyborg, who is the resident tech expert and strong house.
Raven, who is a troubled but loyal girl with dark origins. Starfire, who is quirky and
just figuring out this whole life on earth thing. And Beast boy, who is the jokester
of the group. The team resides in the Titans Tower and are public superheroes who fight
crime in Jump City, with their main baddie being Slade, the animated version of Deathstroke.
These characters are more closely related to the comic book versions of themselves,
albeit in a bit more of an all-ages friendly format. Now on the other hand, we have the
even more kid-friendly team from the Teen titans Go tv series. This team first hit the
air in 2013 and is currently receiving its own movie. Not that itÕs been as much of
a success with the critics as the first team. The show follows the lives of an identical
lineup as the first, but the charactersÕ traits have been altered. We have Robin, who
is still the leader but his leadership is taken to the extreme where he comes off as
rude and arrogant. WeÕve got Cyborg, whoÕs main concern is how much he can eat.ThereÕs
Starfire, who is both extremely na•ve and extremely vain. ThereÕs Raven, who miserable
all the time. And finally thereÕs Beast boy, who is reduced to a bumbling fool. This set
of heroes doesnÕt really fight crime, they just kind of fight themselves most of the
time and tackle some everyday challenges while theyÕre at it. Dignity does not live here.
POWERS, WEAKNESS: So now that we know all about these two, letÕs take a look at their
strengths and weaknesses. The general powers of each member are basically the same in these
incarnations, so we will hi-light those briefly. Robin is a tech and martial arts genius just
like his mentor Batman. HeÕs got use of a variety of weapons such as bo staffs, batarangs,
and grapple guns. He is, however, the only member of the team without any super powers
or enhancements. Cyborg is comprised of machinery that conveniently allows him access to weapons
and tools as well, plus he has enhanced strength and durability. And in both versions, heÕs
got a bit of a weakness to food. Starfire has the ability to shoot starbolts and concert
the sunÕs energy into her own. But sheÕs na•ve and her emotions can be manipulated
for someone elseÕs gain. Raven has had her psionic powers passed down to her from her
demonic father, and while she may be extremely powerful, she needs to constantly fight against
dadÕs temptations. And finally, Beast Boy has the ability to shift into whatever animal
he wants. But he may be confined by small spaces or being knocked out, which reverts
him back to human form. Well, kind of human. Now as a team, the teen titans from the first
animated series are cohesive and experience, although they are not without occasional conflict
or drama between friends. On the other hand, the competency of the teen titans go characters
to even lift a finger in a real battle is debatable. Maybe in a sandwich making contest.
Probably not even then. If youÕre wondering why we are even doing this video, cards on
the table, IÕm not even sure myself. So who would win in a show down? Do we even need
to set up a scenario for this? Ok, we will. I need to hit at last a 5 minute mark here.
So letÕs say that these two teams come into contact with each other in their favorite
diner. They are of course totally spooked that theyÕve got exact dopplegangers out
there, ordering the very same food items nonetheless. The teen titans original team is there first,
already seated, while the teen titans go team has just walked in. Robin is of course the
first to go up and demand the OG team Òtake off their costumes and stop impersonating
themÓ. The OGs are adamant that they are the true team but that there is room for everyone
at the table to talk things out, but Robin Go is having none of that as there can only
be one him. So of course they decide to duke it out, the loser having to give up their
title of Teen titans. Each member squares off against their counterpart in a battle
of brawn and brainÑ2 things the teen titans Go team doesnÕt have very much of. ItÕs
not a long battle. Robin is way less a competent fighter than his counterpart. Cyborg OG is
ablt o hack into his counterpartÕs body and override it with ease. Starfire gets distracted
by her own reflection In the mirror, Raven shrugs and walks out and is never seen again.
Beast Boy decides heÕd rather eat than participate in the match. Honestly, this could never have
been a teen titans Go victory. Nothing can ever be. Except lamest reincarnation of a
once great tv show. So our winner here? Teen titans the original team. Maybe we couldÕve
let GO win to surprise everyone, but I donÕt believe in criminal-level lying. ThatÕs it
for versus here today, let us know in the comment section whose corner you were in,
#TEENTITANSOG or #TEENTITANSGOÑI feel like I already have my answer. My name is Roya
