The Teen Titans Go! Cast discusses the enduring popularity of DC’s “Irriverent” animated show nearly 10 years after its first unveiling.

Greg Cipes, Scott Menville, Khary Payton, Tara Strong, and Hynden Walch have voiced Beast Boy, Robin, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire respectively for nearly two decades, but they haven’t played the same versions of those characters in all of this. time. . In 2013, The Teen Titans Go! premiered on Cartoon Network, featuring a more comical version of the superhero team than the team featured in the original Teen Titans series that aired from 2003 to 2006. The Teen Titans Go! They are still in the process of filming nearly a decade later, so I got a chance to talk to four of the five main actors about their work in the DC film. The Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the MultiverseI wanted to know why the DC animated TV show is still popular after all this time.

I first asked this question to Khary Payton, the voice of Cyborg not only in Teen Titans and The Teen Titans Go!, but many other DC projects. describing The Teen Titans Go! as “irreverent”, as you can read below, Payton pointed out that the show essentially serves as a spokesperson for viewers:

I think Teen Titans Go! never misses an opportunity to say what everyone thinks. Like, there are so many times that you watch a show and lean towards someone and think, ‘I bet that’s why they did this. And then the next thing you know, Beast Boy is like, ‘That’s why we did it!’ We will not pretend or try to hide our intentions. We are irreverent, nostalgic and, ultimately, for me, Teen Titans Go! These characters get together and get drunk, get a little drunk and wake up the next morning and say, ‘What just happened?’ And this is the show in a nutshell. It’s like you wake up and we’re basically the characters from the old show, just a little bit drunk waking up saying, ‘That was crazy! Did it really happen? So will we do it again next week? Absolutely!’

Even if you will never see the The Teen Titans Go! Versions of Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy getting drunk or high, with Khary Payton comparing the show’s antics with what one might remember the morning after a party is strangely appropriate. Meanwhile, Greg Cipes, who also voices a more complex version of Beast Boy young justicehighlighted how actors and writers work together as a main motive The Teen Titans Go! is so successful:

I feel it’s first on the page, it’s so well written, and the animation team brings things to life on the page, and the actors are so ingrained in the characters, it’s always a winning creation. it doesn’t matter what we create together, because it’s so natural and organic for us to rock and roll together that every time we do something, it’s fresh. So I think again, we are constantly collaborating as a superhero team with other superhero teams because we are like the evergreen superhero team.

So, Scott Menville, Robin’s voice, dwells a lot on the relationship between The Teen Titans Go!The main characters and the innovative nature of the stories are examples of why the series remains popular:

Well, I think just like the original Teen Titans, if a fan doesn’t identify with all five Titans, there’s at least one that the fan will say, “Yeah, that’s my boyfriend, or that’s mine. daughter”. I understand well. And I think surprises, there are constant surprises in the script. It’s really hard not to fall into a rut when a show has been going on for a long time, but our writers are constantly changing things. For our 200th episode, they said, “We’ll cheer on the voice actors and you break the fourth wall and you titans meet the voice actors.” And suddenly Scott, Tara, Greg, Khary and Hynden are in the episode. This is just one example; our show keeps doing stuff like that, which I think is really fun for people.

Scott Menville also said so with The Teen Titans Go! Airing in a world where people want to post “the best version of themselves” on social media, this series shows the “flaws” and “worst personality traits” of the main characters when they think no one is watching them. . Finally, we come to Tara Strong, Raven’s voice The Teen Titans Go!. Strong began by saying that fans were initially disappointed when they found out The Teen Titans Go! was not a continuation of the original Teen Titans series, which colored her vision of Go! rather than the content of the program itself. After noticing that she and the other cast were still interested in returning to the original series, Strong said this:

But I think since they’ve kept the same cast and we all really like each other and all of a sudden these really scary moments are really silly and ridiculous and there’s a lot of fart jokes, you can’t help but fall in love writing in this show. and the animation and the fact that it’s some kind of random candy that everyone chews on. So I’d be really happy if we could do both forever because Teen Titans Go! it really makes people laugh, it brings families together. I meet them at conventions and those guys who grew up watching the original Teen Titans are now watching Go! with your kids and showing your kids the original is like that great infinity infinity symbol for the Teen Titans.

With 356 episodes and four films to his credit at the time of writing (including the one released in theaters) The Teen Titans Go! At Cinemavery well received by critics), The Teen Titans Go! it’s on the move after nearly 10 years and shows no signs of slowing down. Those of you reading this who are fans of the show and agree with some or all of the points above should definitely check it out. The Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse (starting with our exclusive clip), which marks the fourth time these two teams have crossed paths. That said, the role of the Titans in chaos in the multiverse it’s pretty unorthodox compared to your average superhero crossover, but Khary Payton, Greg Cipes, Scott Menville, and Tara Strong had a blast.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainmentthis is The Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse It is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD and has also premiered on Cartoon Network. HBO Max subscribers can stream the film starting June 28.
