I think I'm turning Japanese. I really think so!
An apocrypha is a collection of stories that has been tossed aside from a main canon for a variety of reasons. The shows we talk about tonight are jettisoned from the DCAU continuity not just because we may feel that they’re inferior, but also because they have deviated stylistically and creatively from the main canon. Zeta started out as a spin-off of a DCAU property but found its strength in being its own thing, whereas Static Shock’s only claim to DCAU connectivity lies in a few desperate crossover attempts as its popularity waned. Teen Titans, however, has a restraining order keeping it from going anywhere near the DCAU.

A big reason why I liked Teen Titans “at times” was the voice of Cyborg, Khary Payton, who was a childhood friend of mine. So anytime cyborg was doing something I got hyped. Aw, you took my favorite episode Ben, when Cyborg was fighting against Atlas, Keith David was a plus so I was sucker for that, I kinda liked the soul power thing, don’t get me wrong it’s silly but I still liked it, plus I’m biased anyway 😉 If only they didn’t make him utilize that catch phrase so much, that was a bummer. Other than that I’ll leave that show where it belongs, since Khary is voicing Aqualad in Young Justice in a very acceptable roll. I hope they hurry and bring in more of that show. Also let’s hope a certain catch phrase of another person in YJ isn’t repeated, ever again. Oh by the way Neil, your a butthole for including that last bit from TT, I was hoping to never hear that song again…
I could NOT resist.
You gotta admit your defense of “knowing a guy that worked on it” is kinda shoddy.
Nah no defense, I only liked bits and pieces of that show, when he was doing stuff mostly. I’d much rather watch YJ
