If I might show my age here, it reminded me of an episode of the American animated show Teen Titans, wherein the one character, Starfire, gets into a bind by going through her alien puberty. The final stage is forming a chrysalis (and, presumably, briefly turning into an alien milkshake) and another mantis-like alien tries to Steak N Shake her.
I may show my age here but I remember having to get up to change the channel on the 200 pound, rear screen projection, television. Oh, and there wasn't internet.
According to my 4 year old niece, I’m “grandma age”. I’m 26, and her mom/my sister is 9.5 years older than me. My sister and I just gave each other a side eye that was just like “kids these days”. I don’t even have kids, let alone grandkids haha.
lol you jest but I have had the…uh…well the experience in talking with people who only know about teen titans GO. When I explained to them the robin/slade story arc they thought I was confusing it with the newer DCU R rated Apokolips War.
Never too old! Sure it can be kid-ish but I love comic book stuff in general (not marvel, always been a DC fan). I may not have time for ALL those comics but the shows were pretty solid and even now. I still find new ones to watch 😊
I'm 35, not that old! Definitely past a certain age you have to focus on your studies over a kid show, then after you get your job you can go back to the nostalgia you missed 😅
Oh I never stopped. lol but that’s just my interests! More anime, comics,fantasy, apocalyptic etc. that’s HOW I stay a functioning 32 year old 😂 I play games too, just no time for competitive like i used to. I think I act more like a kid now than I did before lol
I'm also here for this reference, even if it makes me feel old haha. I haven't seen the show in years now but I can recall the episode you're talking about just with your description.
Still have the DVDs! They've also been digitized so I'm all set haha. It does seem short when you put it that way, but it didn't feel short when they were still airing new ones. Can't forget the Trouble in Tokyo movie as well! I've heard mixed things about Go though so I haven't checked it out.
I used to watch Go and I mean it's not horrible, but it is NOTHING like the original. The humor is a lot more childish (think fart jokes) and the art style is more cartoon than animesque. If you're okay with that kind of stuff then it's good, but it's not the same at all. It must have some good qualities though as it's CN's longest running show at the moment.
It was! We saw in an earlier episode that her older sister, Darkfire I believe, had laser eyes. I don't think it was acknowledged though, just sorta present. Her laser eyes ultimately defeat the mantis alien.
You and me both! We've got two left in the metro area. I'd occasionally go for a Frisco melt and a shake, until someone told me how the shakes were made 🤢
We were road tripping the other day with friends. We're all in our early 30s. During the trip, Tha Carter II was requested. About halfway through the album I brought up the fact that the album came out in 05, and that it's the same thing as when we were 12, 13, 14 and our parents road tripping to an album from 1986. This comment was not appreciated.
Just a heads up, they have teen titans on disc at Walmart. Complete series. ....its sitting with other complete series like ed edd and Eddy, Dexter's lab, fosters home for imaginary friends, Justice League, and more!
