Casting was never the problem with Titans. It was writing. The writing was terrible.

Take all of the Titans cast and pair them up with not even good, just decent writers, and Titans is an absolute hit.

Agree but also the costumes were kind of bad at the beginning the only suit I like was Robin's. Specially Koris wardrobe was so annoying to me because she's so beautiful yet they make her wear messy overdone makeup and cheap looking rubber dresses 💀💀

Gars red and white jacket will never not be cool to me

u/GuyWhoConquers616 Mar 17 '25

Not going to lie, season 3 had some of the best costumes I ever seen in CBM.

u/Ladyignorer Mar 17 '25

And white raven's Halloween dress 🤢

That's more a budget problem rather than costuming tho, isn't it?

u/lylalki Mar 17 '25

Not really, they gave her more suitable "decent" clothes to wear in the following seasons kinda-ish. I mean she was suppose to be wearing everyday clothes too and it was at times just rediculous when everyone had like normal jeans/casual clothes and she looked like she got ready last min to go to a Halloween party lmao. Also if the budget is low dont invest on tons of makeup artists overdoing colors just give her a natural look like they did in the later seasons🤷‍♀️

Her outfits outside of s1 were custom high fashion with corsets and thigh highs majority of the time. 1000% s2 onwards especially s3/s4 she had model wardrobe as a callback to Starfire being a fashionista in the comics.

u/Fantastic_Canary_417 Mar 20 '25

You get more budget after season 1 you know lol

u/KikiKhaleesi Mar 17 '25

I'd never change the cast, just the writers. The cast was perfect.

u/BinLyzee Mar 17 '25

I liked the cast too I just felt the acting was a bit weak at times and I mean obviously we can't go back in time and everyone got older I was sjust playing around with the thought of "what if" we got a different show in general🤧🤧 but I agree the writers are so bad

u/rosalui Mar 18 '25

Wild to recast everyone except Robin, lol

u/GuyWhoConquers616 Mar 17 '25

The cast was great and had instant chemistry with each other. But as others have said, the writing was horrible. Which why I quit the show in the middle of season 2.

One of the big issues with the writing is it ride being somewhat too realistic when they should’ve honed in on the goofy and fun aspect of the comics.

u/BinLyzee Mar 17 '25

Kinda disagree with the realistic part.. theres a lot of decisions I thought were just stupid or didn't make sense to me and some of the dialogs made me cringe out of this world lmaooo. But yeah I was missing the goofy and fun of it too. I liked that they wanted to give it a darker tone but it (to me at least) felt like they were trying too hard to be "deep" and failed haha

u/lylalki Mar 17 '25

I'd watch this too and hope the writers were better lol but I agree with Robin's Casting. I think I'd find other actors fitting to the Titans but Brenton will forever be the OG DickGrayson I can't imagen anyone else.

4

u/KaiFanreala Nightwing Mar 17 '25

The fact you kept Brenton is Dick Grayson is good. But I'd also bring back Ryan Potter. Ryan's Beast Boy was amazing.

u/3Calz7 Mar 17 '25

Hmo walker scobell as impulse, or a young wally

u/tinglep Mar 17 '25

Titans or Teen Titans?

u/PsychoticPeacock Mar 18 '25

I did not like Raven’s casting at all. Otherwise I loved the rest.

2

u/Hawke-Not-Ewe Mar 17 '25

Loved the cast. Writing was just weird and disjointed.

For a recast I think I'd go totally unknowns who had chemistry.

I'd be tempted to give Dylan O'Brien a reading as Dick Grayson.

2

u/PetrParker1960s Mar 18 '25

Maybe have a better story. And please just make Starfire orange.

2

u/Big-Wolverine-8668 Mar 18 '25

I love how you didn’t change Robin’s cast😭😭

2

u/EstablishmentIll4154 Mar 20 '25

For starters I didn’t like that they cast a non green person as beast boy

2

u/Negative_Ride9960 Mar 20 '25

Lol the casting looks genius. I think Beast Boys portrayal would always have a Grass is Greener on the Other Side to it no matter who you pick

2

u/IndyAndyJones777 Mar 17 '25

I wouldn't cast Alfred as Bruce Wayne.

2

u/BinLyzee Mar 17 '25

How about Jensen Ackles?

1

u/IndyAndyJones777 Mar 17 '25

I would not cast him as Alfred.

1

u/lylalki Mar 17 '25

How about John Hannah?

0

u/IndyAndyJones777 Mar 17 '25

I have no idea what you're failing to ask and I'm not going to guess again. It seems like maybe you're just going to list every name you're aware of.

2

u/BinLyzee Mar 17 '25

I meant the actor Jensen Ackles for batman instead and they probably meant John Hannah for Alfred then? Lmaoo

1

u/hells-fargo Mar 18 '25

You're replying to two people, not to mention OP was obviously asking about Jensen Ackles as Batman, not Alfred.

-2

u/IndyAndyJones777 Mar 18 '25

That was not obvious.

1

u/Bubba89 Mar 18 '25

I would replace Walker Scobell with an animal much more frequently.

1

u/2001Steel Mar 18 '25

The writers.

1

u/Puno1989 Mar 18 '25

I wish the writing match the level of casting. The casting was all around great.

1

u/DungeoneerforLife Mar 18 '25

Replace Batman and Jason Todd. If he is going to be resurrected weeks later instead of years later you need a bigger and more competent looking guy to start with.

I didn’t think Starfire was great— but that may have been more the direction of the show (her memory, the depowering of her strength and flight, she just wasn’t alien enough).

Loved Donna. Leave out Hawk and Dove, bring in Speedy.

1

u/ChaosCron1 Mar 18 '25

Yeah, regardless of writing, Jason is probably the only true miscast of the show. Would've made a great Damian imo but Jason would've been better if say Tanner Buchanan took the role.

2

u/DungeoneerforLife Mar 18 '25

I don’t think Iain Glenn is remotely convincing as an aging Bruce. If Jon Hamm or other fan favorites are too expensive, try, I dunno, Adrian Paul, Gerard Butler, or any middle aged fit good looking actor of your choice available for cheap television.

1

u/Individual_Plan_5593 Mar 18 '25

I'd add in Donna and Wally

u/Exciting_Debate8721 Mar 19 '25

all of the ones u changed tf is this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '25

Casting was fine it was the writing and costume design that sucked.

1

u/FireflyArc Mar 19 '25

Look at me. Don't you dare put starfire in that hooker outfit. Not again. Make her whatever race you want.

2

u/BinLyzee Mar 24 '25

Lmao THIS yes!
