Teen Titans Go! To The Movies!
Jump City I know that a lot of people (or at least a vocal minority) dislike the Teen Titans Go! animated series on Cartoon Network. They blame it for destroying the extremely exceptional Teen Titans cartoon and even Young Justice even though I believe that Cartoon Network itself should be blamed for the cancellation ofContinue reading “Teen Titans Go!
