And they missed the point about Dove as well.After seeing how much they've butchered Robin and Starfire, I'd be perfectly fine if Cyborg is left out of this.

By JENNA ANDERSON - July 22, 2018
The first trailer for Titans brought its cast into the spotlight this week, and it looks like that has had some major effects.
Anna Diop, who is set to play Koriand'r/Starfire on the DC Universe series, recently disabled comments on the vast majority of her Instagram posts. Her Instagram, which you can check out here, features only six photos that have been posted since May 11th. The latest post, where Diop announces that she has a role in Jordan Peele's Us, is the only one that currently allows comments.
While it's unknown exactly why Diop essentially cleaned house on her Instagram, some have speculated that it is due to the negative backlash from the first Titans trailer. The trailer, which debuted on Thursday, features several brief glimpses of Starfire using her powers, which have appeared to only continue the racist and sexist remarks surrounding Diop's casting.
Earlier this year, a series of leaked set photos provided the first look at Diop and her co-stars in costume, which earned backlash for not being "comic accurate". At the time, Diop actually used Instagram to fire back at the negativity, posting a passionate response to her followers.
"For the sake of our incredible fans - I hated that this is the first picture people are seeing." Diop said back in April. "It's out of context and it's a misrepresentation of the incredible character I get to play. And also a misrepresentation of the phenomenal production behind it all. With that said, the hate speech that followed was deplorable. And though I am highly unbothered, I do want to use this as an opportunity to say that tearing people down is not something that I tolerate. For myself or anyone else."
"Too often social media is abused by some who find refuge in the anonymity and detachment it provides: misused as a tool to harass, abuse, and spew hatred at others." Diop continued. "This is weak, sad, and a direct reflection of the abuser. Racist, derogatory, and/or cruel comments have nothing to do with the person on the receiving end of that abuse. And because I know this - I'm unfazed. But for anyone out there who may not - I am here to remind you that whatever ugly and negative thing anyone ever choose to say about you is always a reflection and revelation of themselves - it does NOT define you, and it certainly does NOT make you any less perfect than you are."
Regardless of the motivation behind her Instagram changes, fans have taken the time to rally behind Diop, sharing various positive messages and generall goodwill on social media.
Do you think that Diop changed her Instagram because of "fan" negativity? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Titans will debut sometime this fall on DC Universe.
Hell, I feel sorry for her. She's perfectly attractive and they made her look like a cheap hooker.lol they're trying to pull a Star Wars.

Instead of making her look nice, they play the race and vagina card as an easy out.Hell, I feel sorry for her. She's perfectly attractive and they made her look like a cheap hooker.
They decided to put Cyborg in Doom PatrolGotta say, I never thought I'd see Robin shooting people and saying "Fuck Batman!" in a Teen Titans show.
What's next, is Cyborg going to tear the bad guys apart with his bare hands while Raven cuts herself?
"We wuz norse gods n sheeit" - Idris ElbaMarvel gets it right. They cast and write true to the source and the characters.

He is.Jokes on them! Idris thought he was too good for that role.
He is.
"guys, I have an idea"
"let's take the character who comes from a far away land, who's first introduction was breaking out of prison and causing trouble, along with her not understanding anything without it being explicitly explained and being primitive, and make her black"
I don’t mind Starfire being black as long as they get the look and personality of the character.
But that hair and outfit...
Of course, they're still playing the race card when these effects would look equally bad on a white woman.
This show has "bomb" written all over it. If it wasn't for Young Justice, DC's service would be a guaranteed DOA.I found another promo pic and the special effects make her look worse. Of course, they're still playing the race card when these effects would look equally bad on a white woman.

Is Mark Millar credited with writing this?Well guess what? I just read spoilers for the pilot episodes and they have "Starfire" kill a whole bunch of people because a deal went south.
