for a team of superheroes they are far
far from being good role models welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re taking a look at the
terrible morals Teen Titans go has
displayed for the next generation look
we get that most of these are meant to
be ironic but the fact remains that the
show’s younger audience probably doesn’t
understand that and takes the show at
face value number 10
Christmas is all about presents are
nearing the North Pole remember Titans
we’re going in fast let’s show that
jolly fat man what naughty really is
it’s easy for kids to get lost in the
materialistic side of Christmas so it’s
important they learn the meaning of
Christmas early on and learn it’s not
about the presents unfortunately Teen
Titans go completely dismantles the
lesson with a Christmas special of its
own after getting no presents for the
third year in a row the Titans break
into Santa’s workshop christmas is a
time for family and friends to come
together a time for the people of the
world to forget their troubles and
instead focus on being good do to one
another when they’re told that Christmas
isn’t about presents they blow up the
workshop and the episode ends with Santa
admitting that Christmas really is all
about the presents in other words the
show is telling kids to buy into
[Music]
Christmas stinks without presents number
nine greed is good
greed will make you appear selfish even
if you’re claiming to use money for good
intentions in his own foolishness Beast
Boy tries to get the other Titans to
help him buy cyborg an expensive gift
despite cyborg saying he doesn’t need
one you’re making me sound like a
monster you don’t you really go
he eventually signs up for a pyramid
scheme posing as a money Sheriff things
take a turn for the worse when they end
up broke and find themselves forced to
build pyramids this is one of those few
episodes where the Titans acknowledge
some sort of lesson but the fact that it
took a pyramid scheme to do so is
shameful perfect now that you’ve learned
the value of hard labor
let’s get these chains off number eight
accepting sexism if you ever took the
knowledge train downtown to the corner
of science in fact you know girls can
never compete with boys because they’re
too busy lying around thinking about how
they look and being emotional in the
episode boys versus girls the titans
find themselves at odds over which
gender is better there’s nothing wrong
with some playful banter but some of the
things the titans say to each other are
pretty dated putting his ignorance on
display robbing states how emotional
girls are then in a series of activities
Raven and Starfire completely wiped the
[Music]
this causes Robin to set out on a quest
to infect them with cooties which
obviously leads to more hijinks you
would think the episode would end with a
lesson on equality or acceptance but you
would be wrong
[Music]
please stop
number seven lie to the naive by the
bones have seen oh glob I have killed
Beast Boy foo as the only member on the
team unfamiliar with Earth
Starfire frequently misunderstands the
English language and human traditions
one would think to educate her about a
few things a lass the Titans use this
for their own amusement throughout the
entire show the Titans will frequently
lie to Starfire
tricking her into doing something
foolish or misleading her to believe
just cuz someone’s uneducated doesn’t
mean you should take advantage of them
it’s one thing to play a prank and
explain later but with the Titans this
is practically bullying of course that
isn’t to say she didn’t get to dish out
the same medicine and a whole other
episode
hello cyborg it is currently 76 degrees
outside okay actually it is only 74
degrees number six be a follower kids
it’s okay to be indecisive at times
however letting someone else make
decisions for you is not a healthy habit
in this episode
Robin becomes frustrated with the Titans
indecisive behavior in retaliation
he begins refusing to make choices for
them the Titans become so desperate for
a leader that they begin following the
advice of fortune cookies you mean these
cookies will tell us what to do have
they learned how to make decisions for
themselves
we’d be happy with the episode however
this only tells kids that choices are
hard and it’s best to let someone else
handle them for you I see now that most
people are weak-minded sheep incapable
of making their own decisions number
five
hoarding is okay this place is a pigsty
Beast Boy well what else does a pig
supposed to go one of the most important
things to learn as a child is that
cleanliness is important clean your room
to manage good hygiene in addition to
looking presentable well it makes sense
for Beast Boy to live in a somewhat
filthy room it doesn’t excuse the
message the show sends in the hot
garbage episode when beasts voice starts
stinking up the tower the other Titans
force him to clean his room despite all
this effort to try and get him to clean
the episode ends with him going back to
his trashy ways making the past eleven
minutes completely pointless garbage
isn’t just a bunch of garbage to be
thrown away love your garbage and it
will love you back you have enlightened
us on the way
Thank You peace boy that’s right I’m the
dirtiest number four knowledge is bad
for you why don’t you try reading a book
you know what they say too much TV will
rot your brain
Teen Titans go has featured a number of
episodes on intelligence and seem to
present the idea that knowledge is a
curse in the episode books Raven gets
the others to finally read books but the
episode ends with them falling back on
their original notion that books are
boring even calling them dangerous you
should have warned us reading isn’t just
fundamental it’s dangerous we almost
died because of books Raven I hope this
doesn’t do anything to diminish your
love of reading as for head fruit the
whole episode comes off as a lesson in
repressing your own imagination no no no
guys intelligence and creativity are
vital in learning and growing as a
person
when did downplaying them become such a
big part of the agenda number three
cheaters win you know I don’t really
feel like that to sing me either
yeah like a lot of work then there’s
only one way to win
we cheat typically superheroes fight for
truth and justice artful Dodgers tells
us the Titans are not about that in the
final round of a dodgeball tournament
our heroes are defeated by the high five
not once but twice the appropriate way
to handle this would be to accept the
losses instead Robin and the team decide
to start cheating upon yet another loss
a team won by default when Robin called
the cops on the criminals the sad thing
here is that high five a team of super
villains played fairly and followed the
rules our so-called team of superheroes
just couldn’t be honorable
number two you don’t need to resolve
your fights or apologize this is what
you got me I love it it’s well drawn a
thoughtful thank you I knew you would
like it everyone fights
families fight friends fight coworkers
fight that’s a part of life children
learn early on but the important part is
learning to get by it and move forward
if only Teen Titans go could follow this
lesson and set an example for younger
viewers almost every episode shows them
getting into fights only never to
resolve things
no one provides alternatives for
solutions no one admits when they were
wrong and rarely if ever does someone
characters just get irritated and angry
with each other without explaining why
or realizing their mistakes if kids are
to learn how to resolve issues Teen
Titans go certainly isn’t helping
number one childish behavior is
if we had a nickel for every time a
Titan threw a tantrum we’d be making
Bank Teen Titans go features numerous
episodes where a character or two are
angry irritated or depressed that
something didn’t go their way they’d
rather mope about it or take out their
rage on others instead of saying now
well and getting on with their life kids
are impressionable and displaying this
type of behavior only worsens the
situation for parents with already
erratic children we can understand if
the exaggeration is merely for the sake
of comedy but the Tantrums and whining
happens so frequently throughout the
show that it’s simply not funny anymore
I must agree with cyborg it is most
irritating thank you do you agree with
