Robin: "Say hello to the Teen Titans of infinite earths. Titans of infinite earths, go!"
2019 was a year for Multiverse DC crossover events. If it wasn't the Arrowverse going into full Crisis mode, then there was two groups of Teen Titans going head to head with each other. Who can we thank for this aside from Cartoon Network?
Oh, Trigon (Kevin Michael Richardson) of course. He decided that pairing with his more serious self and bringing two groups of Teen Titans together would be the smartest way to rule over the Multiverse. Needless to say, it wasn't the most thought out of plans.
For starters, the Teen Titans themselves Robin (Scott Menville), Starfire (Hynden Walch), Raven (Tara Strong), Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) and Cyborg (Khary Payton) initially clashed and ridiculed each other before properly banding together as a team. That was something both Trigons would struggle to do.
In fact, the clash of the Trigons saw one merge into the other and because of that, both group of Teen Titans needed the help of not only the dimension hopping Worlogog but also the help of many versions of themselves to save the day. Why have two versions of the same group when you have so many instead?
Even with these versions, the reality was that only Raven was vital in saving the day. The Go! version was literally struggling with her demon being on the loose, temporarily losing herself and being happier before making peace with her demon. As for both Trigons, they got close to victory and yet so far.
Seeing both groups of Teen Titans interacting with each other was a lot of fun to watch. Not quite a tonal clash if I'm being honest but it was amusing watching the contrasts and similarities between the groups along with the arguing Trigons.
- We got Gentlemen Ghost and Darkseid, both voiced by Weird Al Yankovic at the beginning and end of the movie. The Teen Titans ignored Darkseid's latest invasion attempts.
- I did enjoy that Santa Claus (Robert Morse) can be bothered a villain and sometimes grudging ally for the Teen Titans. Both Santa and Mrs Claus (Grey DeLisle) were enemies for this one.
- Standout music: I would go with the rap influenced Cooperation.
- Chronology: Not only from where the previous movie left off.
Like the previous movie, there was a lot of fun to be had with Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans. Both groups, the multiverse madness of it, the Santa Claus diversion and the music choices. A diverting way to spend time.
