I have mixed feelings about the Titans show. Overall, I think it is kind of bad and the color grading is very ugly but it has good stuff particularly about Dick. It's pretty much the Dick Grayson show and a good chunk of the first half of the first season is dedicated to learning his backstory which literally has nothing to do with the overarching plot.

But I'm still losing my mind over the fact that Rachel googles his name and instantly pulls up a video of his parents' deaths which zooms in on his horrified little face. In the canon of this show, this happened in 2002. Youtube was created in 2005. So somebody recorded this on their camcorder (not that crazy to do at the circus), made sure to keep recording when tragedy struck to film a suddenly orphaned child and then made sure to upload to the internet. And then somebody made sure to keep porting that video over to new video sharing websites so that it would never be lost to time.

They never want to lose this horrible morbid video that definitely violates some youtube guideline. That's messed up.

#narratively its so unnecessary because rachel has already seen this with her psychic powers #so i guess this confirms it is real to her but also shows the audience this is widely available information #people don't know dick grayson but if they googled his name they would know his parents died falling to their deaths and they could watch i #would bruce not have these taken down?#then again this version of bruce took dick in despite him having a viable foster parent he already knew #could bruce not have just given him money to help support dick?#dc titans #dick grayson
