After the battle in Tokyo, numerous tributes for Teen Titans pop out in the Internet. From parodies to remixes, they are everywhere.

However, that idea has not come across to a quartet of nerds who are known for making parody trailers.

Until one time, one guy brings it to the table.

"Hey, how about we do an Honest Trailer for a DC show?" a guy who looks like Kevin Smith proposes to his buddies.

"Haven't we done that for The Flash?" one guy who looks like Dean Pelton brings it up.

"No, but we have to do something fresh. Something still boiling in our blood."

"How about we do Gotham?" one guy who looks like Mark Zuckerberg suggests.

"Nahh, too easy."

"Or maybe any of the DC Animated Movies in direct-to-DVD?" the Dean Pelton lookalike shares.

Then, the host of the show pops out an idea. "How about we do a DC Animated show?"

"Sure, like what?" the Kevin Smith lookalike asks.

"Maybe something from Cartoon Network that had a great run but had a bad reboot."

"That could be arranged," the Mark Zuckerberg lookalike agrees.

"Great. Call on Jon because we have a treat for the Teen Titans!"


With that, the group crafts a parody trailer for Teen Titans and a side comment on their negatively received follow-up. But before being released online, they send the video to the fab five themselves for their personal approval and blessing.

At a click of the play button, the video starts with numerous requests from fans. With the logo flashes, the narration from the epic voice guy with superhero movie epic voice begins with related clips guided along the way, "From the DC Comics Animated Universe that also gave us Krypto the Superdog comes one of the best shows that Cartoon Network has ever released…because American animators can finally do an anime style that Avatar: The Last Airbender copied. Teen Titans."

After the title card is flashed, the epic voice continues with a glimpse on the history. "Return to a time when Cartoon Network is at its prime with feel-good shows and groundbreaking cartoons…" Examples of those shows including Ed, Edd & Eddy, Codename: Kids Next Door, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (as feel-good shows), Samurai Jack, Justice League and Star Wars: The Clone Wars (as groundbreaking cartoons) are shown on screen. But the epic-voiced narrator considers the low points of the channel, citing The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange and Uncle Grandpa as prime examples. "…until they completely given up from good quality. And relive the series that you have grown to love and groaned when they rebooted into their annoying chibi versions because that was the best part of Teen Titans, right?" When a clip of Teen Titans Go is shown, the narrator groans, "Why?!" The Titans react the same way.

Nevertheless, he goes on with the rest of the trailer taking the sincerest, comical take of the Titans. "Meet the Titans, who are somehow not affiliated to the Justice League. There's Robin, who is thankfully not wearing the white tights that Burt Ward wore in the 60's, though still having the same bratty voice as he does." Accompanying that is a montage showing Robin shouting on his prepubescent voice.

The narration continues, "There's Starfire, an alien humanoid princess? whose most ultimate power include…emotional tantrums. There's Cyborg, the fried chicken-munching second-in-command to Robin…but who is also the comic relief…"

Realizing he is verging into stereotyping Cyborg, the epic voice guy defends, "But he has more character than that, folks." Thus, he continues, "There's Raven, a Dark Magician telekinesis-wielding emo who summons her power with a very unrecognizable catchphrase."

When a clip of Raven dictating her incantation "Azarath Metrion Zinthos", the epic voice guy tries to interpret it. "Azeroth Petrol Santa Claus?".

"And there's Beast Boy, who is a better singer than his rapping cohorts." Then a clip of the Beastie Boys is shown. But the narrator goes back on track, "Oh, and he morphs into wild animals that Greenpeace would protect with their whole lives." As various clips of Beast Boy's morphs are shown, the narrator asks this out of nowhere, "So, what if he gets poached? Will the poachers discover his identity?"

But he still continues with the script, dissecting the series elements altogether, "Together, with a barrage of DC superhero supporting cast and villains, they have to use their ultimate powers and fight against…everyday teenage struggles like thinking what to eat, thinking what to pack and thinking what everyone thinks of me. Add to that is a set of betrayals, the clutches from their enemy who is not at all Deathstroke, identity crises that they come across, abandonment? prepubescence? character development? friendships? romance and family?"

That truly convinces him to believe that Teen Titans was actually that great. He remarks responsively, "Wow, when did ever a colorful Cartoon Network show became this deep? Now that I think about it, this show ain't bad. In fact, it's great…if Teen Titans Go didn't exist. Nope, still not excusing you for being a dumb idea."

And with that, he gives the rest of his spiel, "So, get ready to say 'go'." Accordingly, clips of Robin shouting "Titans, go!" are shown as the narrator continues. "…once more in one of the best DC animated shows that had sure made Bruce Timm's Batman animated series proud, and had Warner Bros. Animation attempt on another take of their teenage superhero teams with these failed projects." He points out Legion of Super Heroes, Justice League Action and Young Justice, but sidetracks, "Young Justice is great though. And had all of us collectively agree…that reboots from Carton Network shows really sucks." Clips from The Powerpuff Girls reboot, the Ben 10 2016 reboot, Be Cool, Scooby Doo, Wabbit and of course Teen Titans Go! are shown, just to sum up his point.

That is before going to the arguably the best part of every honest trailer ever:

"Starring:

· Chris O'Donnell (Robin)

· The T-800 (Cyborg)

· Star vs. The Forces of Evil (Starfire)

· Rowena Ravenclaw (Raven)

· Animorph (Beast Boy)

· Deadshot (Slade)

· Tara Reid (Terra)

· Michael Phelps (Aqualad)

· Ember from Danny Phantom (Argent)

· The Brotherhood of Mutants (Brotherhood of Evil)

· Hachiko (Beast Boy as a dog)

· And no Justice League ever!"

And as an icing to the cake, the narrator gives the honest title to the series: "DC's The Runaways"

Closing the video, the narrator ends with this statement, "You know it says a lot that a show is this great, even if Batman did not appear."


After seeing the video, the Titans are at shock of what they witnessed.

"Okay, of all the parody videos I witnessed, this has to be the most honest," Beast Boy comments.

"I have to agree, but it's kind of peculiar," Starfire adds.

"I've seen worse," Raven sullenly reacts.

"Well, at least there's one thing that this video tells us," Robin says.

"What is that?" Cyborg asks.

"That were are misrepresented by the media," Robin answers.

"You blame the media for misrepresentation?" Raven utters.

"That's why we must confront the culprits for their bastardization."

"You mean? We are?" Beast Boy asks in delight.

"To L.A., Titans, go!" And at Robin's signal, the Titans travel to Los Angeles to settle with Warner Bros. Animation for Teen Titans Go! No statement has been made yet, but let it rests now on wishful thinking for a proper follow-up of the beloved Teen Titans. Bow.
