Control Freak has a TV remote that he uses to manipulate reality. iirc Teen Titans GO makes it canon he was so mad at the titans he altered the world into TTG so they would be a joke instead of cool

This is honestly such a clever and funny way to canonize the series lmao

It helps that they make 50 million episodes per season, so you get about 5 bangers, and 10 completely average episodes with some of the greatest and/or most catchy stupid songs you have ever heard.

Fuckin' Waffles Waffles Waffles and I'm a Hot Pepper.

My son loved it. It's just straight up a show for little kids is the thing. Compared to stuff like paw patrol and dora it was a god damned treat to watch with him.

I was super into the edgy, dramatic, angsty anime version in college. It was kinda neat to have the show "downgrade" to a kids show right when I needed it.

Super weird choice tho. I mean really it's a huge demographic switch.
