    I REALLY hate it when authors feel the need to make Dick, well, a dick. The main difference between Bruce and Dick is the fact that Dick more social and open then Bruce is. But for some reason in this and the series that came after, Outsiders, they made him as stone cold as Bruce usually is.

    • @SnowyWolborg
      @SnowyWolborg 8 років тому +15

      This isn't the last time Judd Winick has written Nightwing that way. In the Outsiders, Dick was always walking around with a scowl, and generally had a bad attitude. And came to blows with Roy after calling him a junkie, which was a pretty low blow.

      Ya. it's why I dropped Outsiders before it even finished it's first arch. Winick's take on Nightwing just felt wrong.
      Thankfully Nightwing was one of the few characters written well in new 52 and i have high hopes he'll be good in Rebirth.

      I'm not so sure about that. Wolfman actually did about a dozen issues of the Nightwing solo series during it's second to last year and the jury is out on if those where good.
      I gave up on the book right before he came on because the previous writer was HORRIBLE
      Personally I'd love to see Chuck Dixion write him again. He wrote the first 70 issues of the solo series and it was really good.

    Funnily enough Judd Winick was able to get Young Justice’s line up correct. Considering his complete disregard for the Titans’ line up you would assume he would try to shove Secret or Arrowette into this book despite neither of them being apart of the team anymore. So Judd Winick was willing to do some research when it came to Young Justice so why not do the same for the Titans? Oh yeah, he just didn’t care 😒.

    Not to be nitpicky, but the sword she was holding in the beginning of the comic might be a katana, a sword that's meant to be wielded with two hands. It gives the swordsman more force behind their strikes. Unfortunately, she didn't hold it right. Instead, she held it so the blade could disappear behind her blue hair that blends in the background, making it look like the blade is broken. "They just didn't care!" XD

    DC screwed over the Titans more than once. Besides this debacle, they had a whole swath of time that the Titans couldnt be seriously involved in any crossover events - because they were reprinting Titan stories a year later, and didnt want any fans of that book getting all confused. Then there was "the new 52" which really screwed the team over ...

    Some FUN* facts about this miniseries:
    1) It is one of only TWO trades published by DC that collect the 1999 Titans series (The other being JLA/Titans)
    2) At 55 pages, the ENTIRE MINI-SERIES IS NINE PAGES TOO SHORT TO QUALIFY FOR A GIANT-SIZED ISSUE!
    3) The writer of this mini-series, Judd Winick, did not write the Teen Titans ongoing series that came out of it. Geoff Johns did.
    4) He DID write the Outsiders, as in Batman and the Outsiders, ongoing series. It has nothing to do with any previous Outsiders series and used the "Why don't we become pro-active on crime" premise that was used oh so well for Cry For Justice.

    I have been interested in comics since I was about 5, watching the 90's X-Men and Spider-Man animated shows. but I didn't get off my ass to read as much as I could and research anything.... until I first watched an episode of Linkara's nearly four years ago. and I thank him for it
    being a writer is my dream, I write fanfictions and am currently writing my first book.
    my dream is to work for Marvel as a writer/the head writer for Spider-Man, who is my favourite character.
    my goal is to fix all the problems and all the bullshit that Spidey has dealt with over the years, such as One More Day and Sin's Past (the later being something I hope Linkara eventually reviews) but I won't just ignore them or retcon them. I will work to fix them using what they did. I will do it the right way
    in doing this I hope to make Spider-Man a character that Linkara can enjoy, as well as finally giving Peter a break but also to show Linkara my appreciation for getting me to get off my ass and actually get into something I had enjoyed for years

      He introduced so many Mary-Sues, his events are formulaic to the point where I guessed 90% of the story before I even read or without reading any spoilers or information online, he seems to HATE writing Peter and hate him as a person and there are so many other things.

    • @MrPlayer890
      @MrPlayer890 8 років тому +10

      If there is an extreme problem I have with Slott's run (mainly with Superior) it's how it started... mainly because of the timing. After reading Superior Spiderman in a trade, I really liked it, before looking through it again and noticing some flaws. Later on, I heard about how people were annoyed with Spider-Man's 700th book, and wondered what could have been so bad... and then realized that it was where Superior started. The way Marvel decided to celebrate one of their biggest characters publication history is to have him lose to a supervillain, have an arc to prove how he's been acting like an idiot and say he hasn't learned much for a big chunk of his life (which is true, but you don't want to tell people that, especially when the status quo is later restored), while having most characters not reacting properly to Otto's insane behavior as Peter (JJ Jameson suddenly being buddy-buddy with Spidey, and the Avengers not putting Spidey in a prison after he outright attacked him with little to no reason)

    • @tayojones9460
      @tayojones9460 8 років тому +9

    • @aros0018
      @aros0018 7 років тому +1

      This is actually why I really like the Parker Industries stuff in the current Spider-Man books, though I admit the stories still have some occasional flaws, as it's finally a chance for Peter to apply himself and not hold himself back, as the ending to Superior Spider-Man set-up. Yes, Otto was the one who set up the company but it's Peter's inventions and the inventions of the people he's hired (most being personal friends of his and one even being a villain he gave a second chance to) that's keeping it going and making it a success.
      And while there are of course the parallels to Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne to be made, it's still Peter Parker who is the head of the company and it's still Spider-Man who is using the company to help him be a better superhero.
      Does it have its problems? Yeah, but I like that we're getting truly new stories with my favorite superhero and he's actually getting to do new things and grow and learn, instead of being trapped in a box like Marvel seems to want to keep him in.
      I want Spider-Man to face Mephisto again and get back together with Mary Jane, but I also hope Parker Industries stays around for a long time to come.

    The timing on this coming out this week is funny, given that I had several people ask me who the heck Lilith was in Titans: Rebirth and I wound up ranting about this book, the loathsomeness of Judd Winick in general and how the thing that I hated most about this book was how the text outright says that nobody gave a damn about Lilith Clay dying because everyone was too busy mourning Donna Troy.
    To answer your question, re: Did Judd WInick not read any Teen Titans since the SIlver Age? I can guarantee you that Winick never read ANY Teen Titans nor did he do any research into the characters' respective histories. He was just as bad writing Green Arrow and I could rant about that for a few hours but his Green Arrow run started with Winick deciding to break up Green Arrow and Black Canary even though the two hadn't officially become a couple again after Ollie's resurrection. He also decided to turn Slade Wilson into Green Arrow's arch enemy and had Slade screwing with Ollie just for the hell of it, despite Slade having always been portrayed as a detached professional who never did anything for free.

    I love when you do the real in depth looks at comics you're personally passionate about. It's great when you're just quipping about plain old bad comics, but I think the show is at its best when you're taking on the comics that personally offend (or delight) you as a fan of something, because there's a lot of passion there. The March of the Titans, the ROMperspective, these are some of your best works. Your take apart of The Culling was excellent, too. New 52 Teen Titans has been such a disgusting waste, especially since they've completely flattened Tim Drake's personality, and he was my favorite Robin... good thing the Rebirth material looks promising. The Titans Hunt book was the right step forward. But of course, as this storyline proves, there were plenty of terrible TT books BEFORE the reboot.

    I think this series was a case of DC having a destination in mind and not really giving a shit about how they got there.
    The Young Justice teams were going to become the core of the New Teen Titans team, Donna was going to be killed and then come back to play what was meant to be a big role and the older guys were going to join the Outsiders.
    What comes of it all is far better than what starts it all.
    Cassie dealing with Donna's death is done well in Teen Titans. People being pissed at Superman for not keeping track of his robots is done well in Teen Titans. Indigo has a good story line in outsiders and a great ending is the Outsiders/Teen Titans crossover.
    Sadly this story was mostly a mess though it did have some good moments.

    The two recurring themes in Titan's material that I see: 1. Nightwing's behavior is mostly self-defeating: He refuses help for no good reason. 2. Roy Harper easily defeating bad-guys that took out entire teams. Are they like this in their respective solo material? Or is this just something about The Titans?

    21:51, in the Titan Magazines UK reprints of The Flash, the editors frequently forget to remove the "To Be Continued" signs, and often don't change boxes referring to the numbers of US editions which don't reflect the numbers of the UK editions. It's infuriating.

    and thanks for reminding why I hate how Winick wrote Nightwing here and in Outsiders. For all the charges of the mantle being "Batman-Lite" being thrown around during the Chuck Dixon days of his own title, people failed to realize Winick's take following by Devin Grayson's worst Frank Miller Daredevil run impersonation (i.e. #86-100) & Dick's eventual time as Batman (albeit as a glorified babysitter to Damian) were exactly that

    These will likely appear when you make your "mistakes" video, but that sword? You can see the guard above her hand. And yes, many blades DO in fact have handles that long when they're meant to be used two handed, like a greatsword, or what that looks like it may be, a nodachi, aka a daikatana, which is not actually a word. Also, as for Cyborg's membership status... well, you're probably kicking yourself now, after the fact, as it says he's a non member and is there as an advisor. Whoops. Yeah, otherwise, great vid as always man, keep it up.

    Ok, about that diminishing readers problem in the intro, they really should end series way before that happened. Maybe when it starts to dip a little too much they should announce "GREAT FINALE COMING" and I bet a lot of people who stopped reading will come back to see the end. Then the series can finish with a BANG and everyone would be more satisfied

    Talking about where that cover came from, I think it was just generic promotional art, as I can recall pieces of this cover (mostly a crop of this image containing Robin and Nightwing's faces) running in the back of a lot of DC books at the time to advertise the then-upcoming event.

    20:40 I would've had Arsenal say something like "maybe something more low-tech can tip the scales". Indicate that the robot is specifically built to fight off people with super powers, but would have more trouble with a 21st century gun. (A modern soldier's armor is made to resist bullets, but wouldn't be as good against a medevial knight)
    ... i mean, it wouldn't have been enough to save the series, by any means, but it could've helped this particular fight.

    Oh gods, Indigo. Poor Indigo. I can't remember if you've reviewed the TT/Outsiders crossover with what happened to her, but you really need to. This poor girl. They basically turned her in Outsiders into more or less Penny from RWBY. And then that mini cam along, and like Penny, they decided the best thing to do with her...was to trash her for shock value. Except they didn't do it with nearly as much skill or care as the CRWBY did!

    • @princealigorna7468
      @princealigorna7468 8 років тому

      I hope so. Because it was so stupid. I mean, Indigo's death itself wasn't that terrible. The scene packed a punch for me, and the little epitaph Outsiders issue they gave her afterwards hit even harder (probably because you don't see it that often in comics these days. The characters are considered so disposable today that to have other heroes, even fellow team members, memorialize them eulogize them just never happens anymore, so when we do have things like that, or the memorial issue in 52, or the funeral for Janet Van Dyn when she "died" in the Avengers books a few years back, it's just refreshing).
      But everything surrounding it? OMG, was it dumb! But that's Judd Winnick for you. It's the same thing we saw with this story. Judd can write a character death beautifully (come on, you know that Donna's death itself was exactly how you want a hero to die, and that's fighting with everything they have until the bitter end), but to actually get there? It's always some of the dumbest, most convoluted shit you'll ever read!
