I'm sure for quite a few people...like myself..Slade from Teen Titans was our first look at Deathstroke. I will say that while he didn't have the same arsenal we see him have in other media or even other animated features..he nailed a rather creepy mastermind vibe that I rather liked.
Slade Wilson of the DCU is a merciless superpowered human former assassin who served in the military and got his equipment and enhancements from the military and who kills people regardless and is only concerned for the well being of his family and friends and has a very heroically noble personal code. Slade of Warner Bros Teen Titans television series is a human weapons thief commanding HIVE Academy whose full superpowers are unexplored as is his equipment and his armies who specifically wants Robin and nothing else. Slade of the Warner Bros Teen Titans television series would actually hire Slade Wilson of the DCU if they everso shared an existence. Yes they are both named Slade. Yes they both have a serial killer armor metal helmet mask black on its right and colored on its left featuring a weapon packed suit of mainly black partially colored armor that covers their entire bodies. Yes they both have autism. Yes, The Judas Contract of the DCU mirrors Season 3 of Warner Bros Teen Titans. Yes they're both called Deathstroke. Yes they both have a Vegeta about them. Yes they're both voiced by Ron Perlman. Yes the Detective Comics Teen Titans series and the Warner Brothers Media Teen Titans series have a lot of parallel naming and characters that for quite falsely mirror eachother in appearance despite a lack of matching names or personalities or in personalities despite a lack of matching names or appearances. Yes, Slade has superpowers in both multiverses and yes they both slightly parallel. But the Warner Bros character, Slade voiced by Ron Perlman is the Batman of Teen Titans whereas the DCU character, Slade Wilson is the Punisher of the DCU
I liked the last episode “things change” but having Slade in it didn’t really serve any purpose other than adding another small fight scene with beast boy and to leave viewers with a lot more questions. The ending of the episode was very powerful though IMO.
What's with you weird comic fans, being sensitive at normal non dumb people not using Comic Terms super preciselly? He IS clearly a villain anyways, whatever?
Old-school Deadpool was MUCH better than the stupid ass pop-culture Looney Tunes that we see today. I mean he was always kind of wacky and zaney, but he was also kind of creepy and extremely dangerous. When he used to be evil, you were lucky to have somebody like Wolverine or Cable with you to fight him off.
yeah but at the same time he wasnt that special, he was more Deathstrokey, It was a smart move making him a parody of deathstroke but I personally do not like the character
His design in Teen Titans and Young Justice was badass. Same for the voices of both. Ron Perlman was my favorite voice for him though. I also really liked Miller's voice for him too.
Slade/Deathstroke is one of the most badass cartoon villains of all time. I'm 14, and i still get chills watching certain episodes of Teen Titans (2003). Which is why i want TTG to burn in the firey depths of hell for ruining him.
I can't help but see this as de-evolution, slade during Teen Titans from design to Ron's VA was arguably perfect, but the list onwards it's so and so, even with ron coming with the voice again, I would say it's partly due to the other sound effect they gave to slade in TT run, there was a subtle echo in his voice given he always spoke from a metal mask.
The IgnitedBlade199 Maybe so...but it was a kids cartoon at the time. the Teen Titans was an interesting character that didn't need him to be an assassin to be cool.
Bruce Banana Just because they were complex characters, so we're Teen Titans doesn't mean embargoes and regulations affect how cartoons intended for children or all ages are viewed. (Batman the Animated Series, Spider-Man the animated series, etc). Teen Titans never talked down to kids and had complex characters but that doesn't mean it had to meet standards. Slade/Deathstroke in Teen Titans cartoon didn't need to be a assassin for hire to be a complex character or the character who affected the Titans the way they did. Comparing it to the DCAU doesn't make sense or affect the argument by any means.
It was decent at best. I don't know why people get so hyped for a character who gets fucked over by the writers all the time. He'll be a punching bag... just wait and see.
Not only is Ron Perlman's voice work amazing, he looks exactly like Slade Wilson does in the comics! He should play him in live action. No other version will ever top his, that's for sure.
My fave part of justice league was when flash and superman had a race and the death stroke and lex luthor credit scene where they make the league of doom
Elias Gibson the people who Watch 2003 Teen Titans cartoon fans never look the history of Slade or the comic. The show is far off what the Titans suppose to be. I image if Teen Titans got a reboot with the same tone of Marv Wolfman run. The 2003 fans will complain isn't accreted but it is.
If Deathstroke made his live-action debut in one of the 1990s Batman films (if they were made the right way), and then would have his own solo movie; I would have to say that Dolph Lundgren would have been the best casting choice for Slade Wilson/Deathstroke. Would anyone agree??
I admit, the second Slaide appeared In Teen Titans (which I'm surprised to see was his debut), I immediately became interested in the show, as I went from thinking the show was an interesting, but still funny show, to "OH MY GOD, I'm on the edge of my fucking seat."
Having never watched the show. I can say I dont like what I've seen of Teen Titans DeathStroke. He seems too cartoony and too much like a cackling villain as opposed to a ruthless assasin. That being said, Ron Pearlman does a good voice. My favourite in this is probably Wentworth Miller from Young Justice
That clip wasn't really the best. Personally, I'd pick any of the scenes in Haunted where he ruthlessly manipulates Robin's mind, or Apprentice, where he literally almost destroy's the Titans from the inside out. I mean literally, he puts explosive nanobots(?) in their bloodstream.
