If I had to guess, the Venn diagram of people who get really upset about TTG and people who think Rick and Morty is the most intelligent thing ever aired on TV is a circle.

Good maybe one of them will suicide.
it's probably already happened
Okay I read thread and one thing that I saw brought up a few times, which I wholeheartedly agree with, is that the people who are getting upset with Teen Titans Go "defiling" the memory of the original Teen Titans seem to be looking back on the show with Rose colored glasses. When I was kid no one I knew liked it because we thought it was the most obnoxious show on the planet. If one were to actually go back and watch the show they wound find plenty of moments that would fit on Teen Titans Go.
Everyone acts like we’re in some North Korea like community where we have to watch this one movie because Dear Leader approves.
The MPAA estimates that 600 movies are made every year.
Surely there’s at least one movie that won’t make you reee.

They desperately want the movie to fail just because it's something they hate. It's not uncommon even years back.
Do they even know that even if the movie somehow turns out to be the lowest rated movie ever and makes a huge loss, that won't get the fans back the original Teen Titans?
It's not like they've ever watched the original series anyway, since barely anyone actually recalls anything before the Slade saga.
Fixed it.
Thing is, the Batman franchise is so massive and it's been around for so long and been through so many different incarnations that if there's one iteration you don't like, you can just ignore it completely and you still have thousands of hours of Batman entertainment. Don't like campy, Silver Age Batman? Doesn't matter, you can skip over the '50's-60's runs of the comics, the Adam West show and Batman & Robin and go straight to the edgy '90's stuff. No one since the late '30's has started with the very first Batman comic ever and read everything in order, partly because there is no real order. Can't stand the idea of a TTG movie? You don't have to watch it! There's still plenty of more Teen Titans related content out there.
I agree with you, but people these days don't seem to have learned the idea of just not going to see something they aren't interested in. They have to turn it into some sort of crusade about how awful it is and why no one else should see it. And it's not just limited to TTG either, I see this shit practically everywhere now.
TTG is a show that's relentlessly attacked by people who never figured out that nothing is making them watch it. They don't have to see it if they don't want to, and yet here we are.
Yessir - that "Just Don't Go" clip from The Critic is becoming more and more relevant, now - not just for what's on subject, either...
Problem is these days the dumbest and loudest voices get so attached to a franchise or something like that that they have this need for everything in a franchise to be not only perfect but exactly the way they want them. If they don't like something in their pet franchise, it's a direct attack on them and the sanctity of the franchise as a whole.
It's particularly egregious among the Pixar nutcases, who insist that every film the studio puts out be impeccably perfect, and the Cars franchise in particular should not exist because it's less intellectual than the other franchises. Thing is, Pixar isn't even a franchise. It's a studio. These films aren't connected and you don't have to watch them all or enjoy them all. The Cars franchise has a right to exist. Let the studio make a silly film designed to sell toys. Heck, the Toy Story franchise, which Pixar nuts speak about like it's above criticism, is a silly film designed to sell toys!
Back in the day people, when they saw a bad movie or they read a bad book, they shook it off and forgot about it. In 1980, if you liked the first Star Wars but you didn't like Empire Strikes Back, you forgot about it after a while. But now people get offended on behalf of a franchise if there's something that's not as good as the best things in the franchise, or even just something that they don't like.
