How does this keep fricking winning? Seriously, spin off GN series, they put it in video games and in the mainline comics. Most normies think about them in the same vein as Lois Lane and Superman, how did it happen?

I don't know it's a terrible ship
Opposites attract is a trope for a reason, you dip. People like it.
A lot of Raven fans hate it.
I assure you, with enough research, logical deduction and observation, 100% of those that hate them are very incredibly gay.
Beast Boy is a shit character and Raven deserves better
Unless you got a horse wiener, you ain't better.
YEAH RAVEN FANS DIDNT START HATiNG TIL THE 2010'S IN THE 2000 BEAST BOY FANS HATE THEM and literally said he could and has done better. but then they just said frick it and let it go
Take your meds
I was obsessed with her and deeply hurt by my perception that they were meant to be together. Those were some autistic times in my life.
Most normies don't think about Teen Titans at all
most normies see themselves as beast boys not chad Robins
everyone wants a thicc goth GF
everyone loves a goofy jokester
u tell me
>everyone loves a goofy jokester
No one likes goofy jokester characters. Suits think people like them so they force them onto every team, but they're always without fail the most annoying characters in a series.
There’s a wide spectrum of goofy jokester characters ranging from the Postal Dude on one end to Jar Jar Binks on the other. I think bb leans slightly towards the former, which makes him one of the better examples
>beast boy
>postal dude
what???
Look, just sign the stupid petition.
>slightly
Sokka is one of the best characters in ATLA. Checkmate.
>Most normies think about them in the same vein as Lois Lane and Superman
This is absolutely not true. Most normies only know these characters from the show, and would put the show's relationships above any others. That is, Starfire/Robin, Beast Boy/Terra, and Raven/her hand.
I like them better as friends. In retrospect they probably act as one of my inspirations for my original couple so what do I know.
>Most normies think about them in the same vein as Lois Lane and Superman, how did it happen?
people just copy shit from 90s and 00s cartoons because that is what current 30 to 40 year olds with extra cash know. They were not able to go to comic shops as kids and were mostly ignorant of what happened in the past.
the only people that like beast boy and raven more than the alternatives are people that like watching raven take horse wiener
If that were true , Tim drake would be more popular than Jason or Damian.
Tim has never been faithfully adapted to cartoons
That is correct. TNBA Tim is Jason Todd.
they're complex characters whose true personallities betray their appearance. beastboy's faking his extroversion to deal with emotional trauma whereas raven isn't really a moody soppy goth, she'd be a happier person if it weren't for her powers being fueled precisely by emotions.
they'd swap places if their personas were allowed to truly show. which is why they mix so well. raven wishes she could be free as beastboy. beastboy wishes to have her emotional resilience in the face of pain
Thanks Freud.
Thanks doc
Thank you Doktor
Also their aesthetics match. Raven is goth girl and BB gives off emo punk which fit each other.
i hate beastboy
>Spergboys with no personality hating on BB.
>"RRREEEEEEEEE HE'S JUST AN ANNOYING gay! RAVEN WOULD NEVER LIKE HIM! SHE'D LIKE THE STRONG SILENT TYPE! LIKE MEuh I MEAN ROBIN!"
You will seethe forever, Robingays. The seethe will never end.
Never get that, outside that shitty issue, Raven show more interest in Wally than Dick. Even in the show , Dick showed no interest on her.
It couldn't be dickgays or Damiangays (because they would prefer Maps or another new girl), andbJasongay would rather have more pages with artemis, so who want Raven with dick?
Fans of the show who liked the Trigon finalie.
It was an asspull tbh. The whole “Robin you were a true friend” came out of nowhere in that show because Raven was consistently shown to be closer to the other three in different episodes. Realistically it would have been Starfire that would save her from the brink. I think that’s why Robin was chosen, because he had almost zero bonding with Raven until the end.
But yeah, certain fans wanted her to end with Robin because of that, and it got fueled more seeing as they made her get with Damien in the DCAMU
Robin was chosen for that moment because he was the pseudo protagonist of the show and they thought that was the last season so they wanted the focus to be on him. The last part about Damian isn't right, Damian and Dick are treated as 2 very different characters, on top of that Dick has very little in common with his cartoon version. Raven was paired with Damian because she was a recognizable female teen to pair with the character they where pushing.
Pretty sure Robingays only mald over BabsxDick. Why would they give a flying frick about Raven lmao.
The titans are C list at best, and the only people who think about their relationship at all are shipgays(for or against)
>The titans are C list at best
Thanks to their shows more people know about them than almost any big 2 character
I'm kinda amazed at how popular the Titans are with casuals.I'm even more amazed it took DC almost 20 years to properly try to capture the casual audience with the Garcia/Picolo books. Didio surely has to be embarrassed for continuously dragging the franchise through the mud on purpose, resulting in only like 2 modern books being even readable/recommendable during his tenure (Johns' and TTYO).
It's a shame that the live action show was utter garbage because I think WB wasn't wrong to try to make a mature show that teens and adults who grew up with TTG or TT03 could try to watch to diverify Titans content more.
I've only ever watched the 03 show but want to get into the comics, are the ones you mentioned a good starting point?
It's hilarious how unaware DiDio was. Consider that the New 52 Teen Titans, supposedly an entry point for casual fans, looked like THIS.
Frick Batman
It's better than the other ships they get. Last pairs Raven got were Damien Wayne and Diversity Wally West.
No one likes Beast Boy, he's just a stand in for the male viewer.
>he's just a stand in for the male viewer
Lie. Beast Boy is extroverted and a vegan. Robin is the “stand in” because he’s the normal human that ends up being the leader with the hot alien chick. He’s the power fantasy normal kids are self-inserting as. Not beast boy’s fault he seduced Raven with his horse wiener and made them feel cucked
People will disagree with this but the show does treat Starfire like the hot one and most of the focus she gets revolves around being Robins love interest.
Because the relationship works. Even in the episode when we see into her mind we learn she thinks Beast boy is funny. She just can't show real emotion all the time.
Beast boy also pushes boundaries throughout the series that raven has to set otherwise shot happens. Also calls her a freak because said pushes were shut down as anti fun
It’s better with the genders flipped
imagine that face looking up at you as you cum down her throat
>That’s not my leg, Rae
the hardcore BBRae shippers from the early 2000s are now running the show
this shit is so forced like the whole Miles x Gwen thing, yet seems like mainstream media and normalhomosexuals LOVE forcing these shit ships
This is why
Fricking youtubers making a near 20 minute video that can be summed up in a few sentences
> popular show
> hot female character with powers
> attractive male character with powers
> good dynamic together
> show ends with neither in a relationship so becomes prime fanfiction fodder
The fact that the pairing wasn't official originally plays a big part in its popularity.
>listening to normalgay's opinion
I fricking hate ecelebs
>doesn't mention the club scene where Raven meets a random gothic guy & they both go an ally outside of the club together
This homosexual had one job & he failed.
I wonder how many bbrae fans are nonwhite. Kind of feels like it. Like maybe they settle for bbrae because 1. cyborg got nobody and 2. BB and terra fell through and was never resolved.
BBrae might only be accepted because it was the only ship available to seeing a nonwhite get a relationship in tt.
Beast Boy is a mutant, before he got his powers he was a blond haired blue eyed Aryan.
All Aryan characteristics are automatically nullified once your mutted or mutated.
His powers are magic based, not genetic. His offspring would likely not inherit any of his "mutation."
Isn’t that just a new 52 retcon?
BB's powers break the Law of Conservation of Mass. There is no gene mutation that does that.
>Beast Boy is a mutant, before he got his powers he was a blond haired blue eyed Aryan.
does the average nonwhite know this from watching the old cartoon? Or do they assume he is brown because he hangs out with cyborg and is thefunnyguy
Reminder, Raven always hated Beast Boy because he was a pathetic annoying beta trying to gain her approval. Beast Boy was a massive simp. During the episode with Blackfire, Raven actually dated a random goth dude she met at the club. Afterwards they went to an ally outside of the club. So I'm going to assume Raven gave head to that guy first. From that episode alone, you can tell Raven's ideal partner is a gothic Chad.
Beast Boy is perfect for Raven because she’s a domestic violence enjoyer
Then how do you explain the club scene where she walks out with a random goth guy to "talk" outside? It's clear her type are gothic guys.

>one-time gag
this is like saying beast boy is only into japanese girls because of the tokyo movie
I think Beast Boy is more interested in a girl’s personality. I think he’d likely go for a girl who has a personality that resembles Terra, who is almost the complete opposite of Raven.
>Terra
>Complete opposite of Raven
Raven and Terra are kindred spirits, it’s only their (fake) outer self presentation that portrays them as antitheses
So is Beast Boy just into emotionally broken women? He does fit the “I can fix her” type.
He’s into women who’ve have all around shitty lives, show them a bit of affection and it’s like moths to a flame
In the comics Terra and Raven were very parallel characters. I feel somebody could explore this. Maybe Tom King or something.
Only if they acknowledge the age frickery.
Because in
Gar has aged normally and was finally around 20/21 while Raven was reset from the disembodied spirit of a 25 year old woman into a 15/16 year old girl. It was like a college senior creeping on a high school student.
That was before the beast incident when he fricked some sense into her
And a few minutes later you see them standing around just chilling and not even in arms width of each other. It's clear nothing happened. If you actually wanted to make an argument, you should have cited that 1 DC Nation short or that one panel from Go!
I'm guessing the romance is done well in other media.
It was shit in that cartoon though.
Beast Boy and Terra were cute together and fun to watch. Shame he couldn't save her.
Raven was cute to watch with that paper dragon. Shame he was a one-off.
Not really no. Titans being an example
Basically so common it became the norm for everyone, consider now TTG came oout around 13 years ago, we have now a whole generation of kids that see BB and Raven as their default ship.
Frick even my normies friends accept this, people even know about the turn into horse meme which surprise how did that became mainstream?
Teen Titans Go came out in 2013, shortly before Man of Steel
Still anon it's a decade of content, consider this eight years old watching this are allowed to post of this site right now
I like their interactions in the show but the majority of fan work of them is garbage.
I’ve read at least a hundred shipping fanfictions of them and there are probably only 15 or 20 that weren’t hot garbage
I don't like it either,
Beast boy and raven deserve better than each other,
I like them both but to me they just lack charisma together
You can never really tell why these things start but it's a cascading effect, businesses have been trying to figure this out for years.
best ship coming through
>loser jestermaxxing betas self insert as beastboy
>now 20 years later they are entering the industry and forcing their ship into comics
This issue was published in 2005
This version of Raven looks like a lesbian
Your mom is a lesbian
>Most normies think about them in the same vein as Lois Lane and Superman
Most normies don't think about them at all.
Wrong, beast boy is for suffering. Raven is for Terra. I mean you saw that mud wrestling match they had. Look at at and tell me it's straight. Raven is filled with the rage of lover betrayed.
they're both outsiders, but with very opposite demeanors. it's a cute match. plus they have nice color schemes together.
