Yeah, as someone who’s whole childhood was nothing but praise and martyrdom worship, I hate it. Especially when my dad still thinks Christians are being persecuted in America. Religious trauma is *fun*/s
Also as far as the whole talking gorilla thing that is sort of a weird trope in DC comics for some reason. As there are multiple different gorilla characters in the DC universe including Grodd, Mallah, Ultra-Humanite, Titano, Solovar, etc. there is even an entire hidden civilization of gorillas called “Gorilla City” located somewhere in Africa in the DC universe.
Doom Patrol is great you should definitely check it out at some point. Robotman is in fact played by Brendan Fraser and was essentially his return to acting.
You can’t kill villains in comics. Think about Slade, he fell in lava and came back from a demon. If you shoot the Joker, he either survives, becomes a demon, zombie, or anything else to come back,
as a massive doom patrol fan, it is wild seeing them so competent. after grant Morrison reinvented the team they became a more disfunctional found family team of broken people. Its honestly really cool that this show decided for a pre-morrison version of the team.
also being slightly maybe just a little tiny bit pedantic but thats just bc i’m a big teen titans nerd lmao; Rita was the OG elasti-girl bc she was created in the 1960s!
The Brain was a highly intelligent scientist who worked with Niles Caulder a.k.a Chief (the leader of Doom Patrol, but he’s not in this version). He used to experiment on animals to see if he could raise their intelligence, which is how Monsieur Mallah was created. Monsieur Mallah is also his lover so let’s not think about the morality of that for too long.. Niles then became jealous of The Brain and basically got him blown up so he could put his brain into a robot body. His brain survives and is then rescued and put into a computer network that keeps him running and alive by Mallah. just in case any of y’all were curious abt his basic backstory
Yeah whenever I rewatch this show, I always avoid these two episodes – I started forgetting as to why…but this reaction reminded me. I’m glad y’all found it just as spiritually exhausting to watch the Doom Patrol be gigantic assholes for two whole episodes. It feels laborious to sit through lol. Glad it’s over though, cus now episode 4 is coming up which is one of my favorites 😭🙏🏼
If I had a nickel for every time Mallah and Brain were trying to make a blackhole-esque portal… I would have 2 nickels. Starting to sense a pattern here.
Yeah the Brain (not to be confused with the villain Braniac or the Hero Braniac V) and Monseuir Mallah (not to be confused with Gorilla Grodd, Sam Simion, King Solovar or Ultra Humanite)
Of course, “Garfield Logan” was a perfectly ordinary name to give a young man in the 1960s, but now all I can think of when I hear it is an unholy fusion of the newspaper funny pages cat and the X-Men.
If Im not mistaken, toy sales were the reason Young Justice got cancelled in the first place. They thought the girl character toys wouldn’t sell or their toys weren’t selling to begin with.
We lose amazing shows like YJ and TT, but they’ll keep keep TTG and they’ll over play the shit out of it this is why CN is basically dead at this point.
Yeah because teen titans will never appeal to Gen A like teen titans go, teen titans go has pure stupid goofy humor and that’s perfect for this sad generation that’s coming up
TTG is almost 11 years old. a lot who grew up with it were late gen z. Same era as gravity falls and Steven universe mind you. The owl house and amphibia were also running during the pandemic. This is more of the fault of the industry than the consumer.
The Doom Patrol are basically more toxic adult versions of the Teen Titans to an extent. Mento being toxic leadership opposed to Robin though we’ve seen Robin fall into this mentality. Robotman being cocky and reckless as all hell thinking he can handle everything with brute force to the point of always getting himself pseudo killed ( powered off ). Elastigirl is very mature and maternal but extremely complacent to the toxicity of her entire team. It’s like she’s the house wife where she just keeps quiet and let the men always take lead. Negativeman is … well negative but honestly he’s not as bad. He has the same vibe as Raven.

CONTINUE SHE-RA IT GETS RLLY GOOD
lmao yoooo that would be hilarious if the comics showed the police getting safety training. It’d piss off soooo many people
I wish you could leave photos so I can post a picture of an immortal skeleton monkey from an actual show just for that one line
fun fact monsieur mallah and brain are canonically a gay couple in the comics
The live action Doom Patrol series is so good, I recommend it highly!

season 5 isnt considered the best but i really enjoy it. hope after titans is done you guys replace it with young justice or ben 10 ultimate alien
Here’s to hoping they check out Invader Zim when this show is over!
Max’s Doom Patrol is such a fun show, I do hope you guys end up reacting to it one day!!

by the way, doom patrol show is fucking amazing and more in line with their Grant Morrison/Gerard Way stories
A doom patrol reaction would be amazing,such a hidden gem of a show

Mento is honestly not that bad in my opinion 😅 some people just aren’t good with others and don’t mean anything bad by it.
Ya’ll should definitely watch the max Doom Patrol show

My adventures with Superman is a quick season. Recommend 👍
The Brain and Brainiac are two seperate villians and DC has a lot of Gorilla type villians
Yeah the Brain (not to be confused with the villain Braniac or the Hero Braniac V) and Monseuir Mallah (not to be confused with Gorilla Grodd, Sam Simion, King Solovar or Ultra Humanite)
DC loooves their gorillas lmao – they have a lot of gorilla characters 😂
Of course, “Garfield Logan” was a perfectly ordinary name to give a young man in the 1960s, but now all I can think of when I hear it is an unholy fusion of the newspaper funny pages cat and the X-Men.
Fun fact; Mallah and the Brain are super in love. Idk if they are in this show, but generally in comics they’re like that.
given this show is using the pre-morprison version of the doom patrol I doubt they are in love here

While some of the Titans make fun of Beast Boy for being a Garfield, Robin stays silently off to the side trying not to be a “Dick”.

Whoops didn’t mean to put this comment here. My bad.
