Talk:Bumblebee/@comment-11759552-20190708185705

Ok so here’s what I don’t like about this: DISCLAIMER: this is gonna be long

So I don’t agree with Bumblebee being the sixth Titan. Not because I don’t like her or anything; in fact she’s one of my favorite characters from the original Teen Titans. It’s because she’s already on a Titans team. She is the LEADER of the Titans East, which is established in the original series AND in Teen Titans Go! Why would they change things that was already established? I would understand if this was a temporary thing, especially since the rest of her team became ill because of the “poop yogurt”, but when they appeared later at the camp, why didn’t Bumblebee go back to her original team? And even if she told them that she would be joining the Titans, I doubt that the rest of her team would let her join. Robin took Speedy’s place as Starfire’s date while Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven just left him tied up, Robin tried to manipulate Más y Menos into being like him and even tried to get Menos lost, ALL the Titans cooked and ate Aqualad’s shrimp friends without any remorse, Raven broke his heart and Beast Boy jacked up his face. In fact the Titans even deliberately tries to kill all of them once, INCLUDING Bumblebee. So why would she wanna be on a team full of people who tried to KILL her? And why would she want to be on a team full of deliberate people anyway, when her own team is much better? ( At least within Teen Titans Go!) It just doesn’t make since to me. There are plenty of other options for a sixth member. Look at the list o honorary Titans from the original series: Kole, Pantha, Argent, Jericho, Herald, Hot Spot, Bushido, Red Star, literary anyone else would work instead of someone who’ve already made an appearance in Teen Titans Go! and someone who is already established to be on a superhero team. I’m glad that they’ve finally given Bumblebee attention, but this? I find this to be disgraceful for changing what was already established and just acting like it’s not a problem. They don’t even bring up Bumblebee already belonging to a team when she officially becomes the sixth member. I think it’s disrespectful to the character by pulling a Fairly Oddparents on her and just adding her to the team only to keep their viewers watching.

Another thing I don’t like is the change to her design. It’s completely unnecessary and it goes completely against her design from the original. The gave her yellow boots instead of keeping her built-in black ones, they gave her wristbands instead of her armbands, and the biggest offender in my opinion, they got rid of her lips. How do you do that? What was wrong with the other design she had? Like I said before, they’re changing what was already well-established for the character. The design change is just a nitpick,, and I know other people like it, but I’m just not a fan. Now there’s conceptually nothing wrong with the design. I’ll admit that Bumblebee looks cute in this new design, but it’s not the Bumblebee that we know and we’re familiar with. They also got rid of her signature weapon: the B-shapes stingers, and just gave her a generic looking stinger gun. I can barely tell that this is the same character. There’s just so much different things about her that just doesn’t sit right with me.

But of course, these are just my opinions. I know people are excited about Bumblebee joining the Titans and I can respect that.
