365!

"365!" is the 52nd and last episode of the seventh season of Teen Titans Go!, and the 365th overall episode of the series.

Summary[]

Wanting their 365th episode to be extra special, the Titans head to the Warner Bros. studio lot to find a director known as Zack Snyder!

Plot[]

When the Teen Titans reach their 365th episode, Robin wants to mark the occasion by getting big-name Hollywood director Zack Snyder to give them the "Snyder Cut" treatment.

When the Teen Titans find Zack Snyder's office to request his assistance, they find Patrick Wilson standing guard at the door, who proclaims himself to be Zack Snyder's "watch man." He doesn't allow them to pass, politely turning them away while dressed as Nite Owl. Beast Boy attempts to reason with him owl-to-owl, but this doesn't cut it. Patrick does not let them pass. Cyborg comes up with a different idea, shouting that he'd just seen Aquaman. Seeking Atlantis' throne, Patrick dresses as Ocean Master and surfs off in the direction Cyborg pointed.

The Titans find Zack working out in his office at Warner Bros. Studios and request his assistance. After a brief conversation, Zack gives them all haircuts to match his own. When Robin explains that he meant he wanted Zack to direct their episode, Zack points out that the episode is over and casually walks away.

As of this episode, every single episode of the show can be played for each day in a year, as stated in the episode itself.
Jay Oliva, who is a frequent collaborator of Zack Snyder's, storyboarded and directed the dream scene in which the Titans fight Darkseid, which was only animated by Oliva's animation studio, Lex + Otis.
Branko Kljajic was originally going to cameo in this episode, and Silver Paul was initially at Joshua Weisbrod's spot. However, both did not make the cut into the final production of this episode. ^[1]

References[]

At the start of the episode, the Titans are watching Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, directed by Zack Snyder.
When guessing to which director Robin is referring:
- Steven Spielberg is mentioned with a backdrop based on E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
- Wes Anderson is mentioned with a backdrop based on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
- Spike Lee is mentioned with a backdrop based on Do the Right Thing.
When mentioning Zack Snyder for the first time, the Titans reminisce about Snyder's movies, including Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League/Zack Snyder's Justice League from DC Comics, as well as Dawn of the Dead and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.
Robin mentions wanting a "Snyder Cut" of their 365th episode. This is a reference to the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut social media campaign that sought to enable Zack Snyder to finish his version of Justice League, which had been heavily restructured for its theatrical release after Snyder had to step away from the project. As a result, the unrestrained "Snyder Cut" was later released, officially known as Zack Snyder's Justice League. "Snyder Cut" has since become a common term to refer to projects that aren't restrained by production studios, especially, but not limited to, those directed by Zack Snyder.
The Warner Brothers' lot has a poster for Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.
- There's also a poster for Green Lantern Core, which is a play-on-words reference to Green Lantern Corps, which was a film being written by the writers of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman set in the same continuity as Snyder's films.
- Batman and Superman appear on another poster, while Wonder Woman, Black Manta, and Mr. Freeze also have their own posters.
- There's also a poster for Detective Chimp and the Case of the Missing Mustache. The "S" in "Mustache" is replaced with Superman's shield, solidifying the reference to the mustache controversy of Justice League, which saw Henry Cavill's lip CGed due to his contractual obligation to keep his mustache during the filming of reshoots.
When traveling through the sewer, a scene from Justice League/Zack Snyder's Justice League is referenced wherein Robin drops his grapnel blaster and Starfire speeds around the tower, reaching the blaster and pushing it into Robin's hand. The Flash does the same for Wonder Woman in the movie when she drops her sword.
- A second scene is referenced shortly after, in which the sewer is flooded and Robin attempts to block the water with his staff, just as Aquaman does in the movie.
While fighting rats in the sewer, Starfire uses the cross-arm strike energy blast move which is the signature attack of Zack Snyder's Wonder Woman.
To defeat the Warner Bros. security guard, Raven becomes her alter ego known as Lady Legasus (except she doesn't remove her cloak, but keeps it), who references the most famous scene from Snyder's 300 by shouting, "WE. ARE. TITANS!!!!" and kicking the guard down into the sewer. King Leonidas of the Spartans does the same move to a Persian Messenger into the pit before the Spartans attack in "300" (2006) shouting, "THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!!".
Entering a building, the Titans are confronted with zoned-out extras for a big budget zombie film. The scene plays out similarly to the underground mall scene in Snyder's Army of the Dead, in which the protagonists must sneak past hibernating zombies, but end up being chased from the mall when the zombies awaken.
The Titans confront Patrick Wilson blocking the path into Snyder's office. Wilson is a repeat collaborator of Snyder's known for portraying Nite Owl in Snyder's Watchmen, then later appearing as Ocean Master in Aquaman, which is set in the same continuity as most of Snyder's DC films and was executive-produced by Snyder. Wilson dresses as both Nite Owl and Ocean Master in the episode.
- Patrick refers to himself as a "watch man," which is a another reference to Watchmen.
When the Titans finally meet Zack Snyder, he's finishing a set of curls. His set consists of 300 reps, which is another light reference to 300.
Snyder's office has a poster of Leonidas from 300, Superman and Batman from Batman v Superman, and Queen Athena from Army of the Dead.
Robin dreams of being in the Teen Titans Go! "Snyder Cut" episode, which is a retelling of the history lesson scene in Zack Snyder's Justice League, featuring the Titans in place of the unity of Earth as they fight against Darkseid and his parademons.
The ending title card is styled like the logo of 300 (2006).
