Remember That Surprisingly DARK Teen Titans Episode That Covered PTSD?
Teen Titans is one of Cartoon Network’s most noteworthy shows that touched on a ton of subjects that would be considered Dark for a cartoon. For example, Teen Titans even had an episode that shed light on what it’s like to struggle with PTSD. In the episode, fans got to see one of their favorite characters struggle with what’s real and what’s not when he starts to fight against an enemy that only he can see. Still, that doesn’t explain how the writers managed to seamlessly mold something so complex into the plot of a kids superhero show.

@agentmaryland1239 3 месяца назад

That moment when she used her powers to link their minds so she could see the world as he did...only to get sucker punched in the face by a non-existent Slade was probably one of the best moments in 2D animation history. It's been a very long time since I've seen the show, but doesn't Raven connect with people on a spiritual level when connecting in such a manner? Because if so, that line makes it all the more powerful, since in that very moment, she would have felt just how real he was to Robin. Even if he wasn't real at all to begin with.

What makes it better is that his PTSD of Slade is understandable given who trained him and who he was around the most before the creation of the Teen Titans; Batman. Batman in the later animated series and even some of the games was noted to be incredibly paranoid and very skeptical of anything and everything; understandably so. Batman during the Justice League days was widely known for having contingency plans even for his contingency plans should the League ever be compromised, especially if *he* was compromised. So it stands to reason that some or even most of the Bat Family would share Batman's paranoid nature, one of the Robin's especially since Robin's were always closest to him. The writer's of Teen Titans were on a completely different level pretty much all of the time. The fact that they managed to hit just about every sensitive topic, without glorifying or overplaying/underselling it, is a testament to their skills. Teen Titans was truly a gem that can not be easily replicated.

@ventexovakon2178 3 месяца назад

It's also good to not forget that Batman is typically beaten by Slade when not specifically prepped for him. Slade is not one to be messed around with, as Slade is basically batman mixed with a less powerful captain America that happens to not be such a good guy.

Loved how they managed to hit every sensitive topic and whole topic including PTSD without glorifying or overplaying/underselling. That's skill. DC and WB is somehow usually better with animation and TV series's, but not so good with live action and films. It isn't say all their live action and films and bad.

@SemiOmni314 Месяц назад

Just as a note, Batman being so paranoid to the point of having contingencies for the rest of the league because Zatara brainwashed him. Some of the league were essentially brainwashing villains, and when Batman found out, before he could alert the others like Superman, Zatara mind wiped him. This feeling of betrayal and anger towards the league would never leave Batman despite the reason for it being gone from his mind. So I guess it's apt that Robin in this episode also got hit with some type of mind-altering thing to the point where he'd turn against the Titans.

Easily one of the best Teen Titans episodes.

@Musicbrowser01 3 месяца назад

I always liked to believe that the chemical Robin was exposed to was a modified version of Scarecrow’s fear toxin due to showing up in eerie moments when Robin was alone. Plus, Slade would want Robin to suffer. He would likely go out of his way to either modify the toxin himself or get someone else to do it to make sure Robin suffered. Especially if he’d be able to feel the attacks.

Even though they used an excuse for why he was seeing Slade, that there was a chemical in the dust. I feel it showed the negative of Robins ability to never switch off. Not like his over worked episodes. This is subtly relating to PTSD, I feel like because of the show and when it was made it’s not completely gone into it. I suffer from PTSD, though I look at others that suffer from it and don’t see it the same in each, I do know that an over active imagination and thinking you need to finish unfinished business does sound like something that makes “ghosts” real. I could see Slade’s Ghostly appearance in this episode being like that, light being how to shut him out because the mind projecting imagery on a blank black canvas rather than a colourful one. What weirds me out is Slade talks. Though Robin doesn’t try to negotiate, constantly on the offensive. Slade seems like someone who talks too much, but then again that is a comfort for a viewer. Having a silent or unphased presence appearing to simply ambush you is pretty horror like. But yeah, interesting episode. Interesting way to look at it.

The things is I never saw it as ptsd because they literally say he was under a hallucinogenic from the mask someone activated and that’s not the same as a mental disorder but I get that it’s possible they couldn’t outright say Robin a teen was suffering ptsd (despite jokers return)

This episode was really dark and at times brutal. But it also taught us the importance of controlling your mind, and not letting outside controversies control you.

I really like the little details that clue us into Slade not actually being there, like the rain effects on the other Titans but Slade doesn't have any and how the tree branches and the rubble from Slade's old lair gives when Robin interacts with it but not with Slade. Also, was there ever an explanation given to who activated the chemical from outside the tower? That plot thread lives rent free in my head all these years.

There wasn’t! They never found out who did it, and that’s the best part of the episode imo. It was super ominous.

I love the scene where Robin fights slate, as you can see raindrops fall on Robin, but not on Slate. Proving he wasnt actually there

Somewhere a Ninja Turtle would have a similar dilemma in season 4

Robin also experienced the traumatic death of his parents as a child, and was brought into Batman's war on crime as a child. He has trauma outside of that, too.

I remember this episode and it hit me hard and i understood although i was a small child watching, i got the message and it made me sad, cry and feel his frustration. 😢 It's hard when you're losing your mind out of guilt or PTSD. But i also can't blame him for assuming he's still alive because Slade was the master of pretending to be dead or alive. And he was great with mind games.

This episode threw me for a loop for years. Especially when some time later in the series Slade had come back from the dead. Made me think that before it was Slade's spirit haunting Robin until his eventual return.

I'm glad they did, and I understand why they had to do with with a psychoactive powder, but I do wish they hadn't had such an easy hand wave to explain it off.

I like how grounded Cyborg was. Considering 2 were named after birds. Star Fire could fly. And BB can turn into birds.

Seriously need to watch this show. I love kid shows that talk about adult subjects like menthal health in this way. As I myself do still feel like a child, but am 34 years almost. So it helps me deal with my own isues and also enjoy the show more because I can relate to it.

This episode aired when I was 4. I don't remember this episode, but I recently rewatched a lot of the Teen Titans episodes. I think the writers did this intentionally. I remember Raven saying, “I don’t know if he’s real or not, but he’s real to Robin and that’s all that matters", which ensues that Raven is aware of the traumatic effect Slade has had on Robin and in manifested into something surreal in his mind. This also means that Robin seeing Slade when no one else is able to see Slade, except for when Raven looked through his eyes, it makes it clear that Robin is suffering from some psychological issues from his past. PTSD is different for everyone suffering from it, but in Robins case, it's a bit severe. I also have a feeling that it's not just PTSD. At first, I thought maybe there is some truth Slade cloaking himself, but I also think it's a but deeper than just PTSD. Maybe Schizophrenia and or OCD, since Robin was constantly obsessed with capturing Slade and always looking over his shoulder, per se.

The only thing that got about this episode at the end. Cyborg says that somebody triggered Slade’s mask. So who did?

I think its more than just ptsd... it shows how obsession can be unhealthy....how you need friends that will catch you when even your mind cant ….and from a superhero point it shows even heroes suffer from real life issues
