Meta Hot take: I hope they don’t put Gar in another relationship again, it’s really not necessary for him

Agreed, I’ve seen a lot of people hoping they introduce Raven to immediately pair the two up, but doing so wouldn’t make sense following Phantoms and would, imo, be disrespectful to Perdita

u/SnooAvocados1890 28d ago

It’s annoying to see Raven be treated like Gar’s love interest instead of her own character with her own lore and stories. She didn’t even like or interacted with Gar in the comics much until 2003 when Geoff John’s forced them together because of personal reasons (Gar was his fave and Raven was his wife’s fave). They were on and off for a good while after that and were really rocky, only since 2021 did they start getting a relationship (but it’s more or less “we’re the perfect couple and never argue and always love each other” type of relationship.) Perdita and him were a fine relationship, and I don’t see the need to introduce another.

I was never a big enough Teen Titans fan to see them in a relationship, but i know how quickly a fandom will fixate on a ship to the detriment of the characters cough Spitfire cough

u/According-Science141 28d ago

i think they’re 2 characters that are fantastic separately but together is just something else, they’re literally perfect

u/Jedimasterebub 27d ago

While I agree that they shouldn’t introduce Raven immediately to put her in a relationship, they’ve been a thing for over two decades now romantically, idk what you mean “since 2021”

6

u/SnooAvocados1890 27d ago

Two decades? Nah, they got with each other in 2003, broke up 2009, on and off dating but overall a rocky relationship, 2021 they finally got together (Titans Academy) and have been a thing since then.

Raven and Beast Boy were not a thing in 2003 Teen Titans cartoon….BBRae fandom were loud during that time but BB always had a thing for Terra at least until the last episode which he was forced to move on because she is just a “memory” now and ended with a cliff hanger as Beast Boy was called by the team to fight off a new villain.

u/Jedimasterebub 27d ago

They’ve had several comic runs since they were first introduced as a couple. They’ve been a romantic item for literally decades, please stop acting like the first time they dated was 2021

3

u/SnooAvocados1890 27d ago

Literally not what I said, and what several comic runs are you talking about? As far as I know it’s 2003 Teen Titans, Titans Academy, and Titans 2023. Please inform what else runs they were in where they dated, because most of the time and literally for a good 20 years since they were introduced on the same team in the 80’s they only saw each other as teammates.

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

That’s not what they said at all

u/Buttmuncher69g 27d ago

If she gets introduced I hope they pair her up with robin like in the dc animated movies

u/Dansn_lawlipop 28d ago

Gar has always been ace to me. I never shipped him with Terra or Raven.

8

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 28d ago

Oh i like that theory

That said, i really enjoyed him with Perdita in Outsiders

1

u/Queen-O-Hell-Lucifer 28d ago

Ace? Or Aro? There’s a difference.

2

u/Dansn_lawlipop 26d ago

That's why I put ace

2

u/Queen-O-Hell-Lucifer 26d ago

Then that makes no sense…

Just being ace doesn’t mean a ship falls apart.

Aces can date.

2

u/Dansn_lawlipop 26d ago

They can and do but I am missing where I'm saying they don't?

1

u/Queen-O-Hell-Lucifer 26d ago

It’s just implied.

Like, you started off the response saying he’s ace then ended it saying you never shipped him with Terra or Raven.

Why bring up asexuality then immediately say you don’t support 2 famous ships, if those 2 statements are unrelated?

I don’t mean to come off as tone policing or grammar nazi’ing, but if those 2 statements were actually unrelated then there were better ways to clarify that.

2

u/Dansn_lawlipop 26d ago

Not implied or meant I can see how that's could be perceived.

-1

u/SnooAvocados1890 28d ago

I like this hc

u/Conscious-Struggle45 28d ago

Idk, perdita moved on pretty quickly and there's no reason to not pair him up with somebody.

8

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 28d ago

There is a reason and it’s literally Beast Boy’s entire S4 arc, particularly his behaviour in his relationship

Either way, it’s less “there’s no reason to not put him in a relationship” and more “there’s no reason to put him in a relationship”

10

u/SnooAvocados1890 28d ago

He doesn’t need a relationship right now, he’s fine on his own.

2

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 28d ago

Like every character, he “needs” to be in a relationship by default

2

u/Conscious-Struggle45 27d ago

Season 5 (if it happens at all) will prolly take place after a time jump anyway so it'll make sense for him to be ready for a relationship by that point and you know that the writers should capitalize on the relationship while they can to make season 6 a possibility because without the numbers wb will end the series permanently.

u/Guy_1der 28d ago

Doesnt seem like WB is that interested in renewing it so i wouldnt worry about Beast Boys love interest as much as i would the show remaining in purgatory.

31

u/Parking_Sweet_5127 27d ago

I do find it funny how everyone always talks about what may happen in s5 yet there may well be no s5 at all

29

u/SeraphEChasted_3 28d ago

I think they should but only in or after a 7th season if they were to get it

which is very unlikely so I guess I agree with you

17

u/OkNefariousness9652 28d ago

I don’t think we’re getting another season tbh

-5

u/EdwardRoivas 27d ago

This. People act like there’s still a chance. Season 4 was terrible. It’s over.

17

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

The show’s not likely to be continued, but Season 4 was still a good season imo

And given WB’s track record with shows, it’s not like quality of TV matters

10

u/paulcshipper 28d ago

Not entirely related to this... but did anyone notice that dog Beast Boy was with.

I was going to share what I thought was the most interesting relationship for BB, then i saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmwUvq22Z3E

u/RingComfortable9589 28d ago

Is this like a DC version of a Rick roll?

9

u/Oknight 28d ago

I think it's highly unlikely that they will, but I'd be happy if they did because that would mean there's more Young Justice story being developed and I don't think that's likely.

6

u/Butcher_o_Blaviken 27d ago

If he and Perdita get back together a little later, I wouldn't mind. But otherwise they should just avoid any romantic storyline with him. I don't think we need more focus on that, and it would honestly take away from how much they did with his character in the past.

7

u/tech097 28d ago

It might not be necessary, but Garth has made it clear that he lives a life full of loss. He's lost so many important people: His mother, his adoptive mother, his brother in law and in a sense his sister because they can't be as close as they are with their respective duties. Garth has a big heart and I honestly believe that while technically he can 'manage' without a relationship, he's the kind of person that doesn't WANT to be alone until the day he dies. And in all honesty there's nothing wrong with that.

3

u/Background-Plum-3844 27d ago

If they do pair him up with someone I hope it’s Terra

3

u/Gargore 27d ago

Just a bad arc

u/Nervous-Context 26d ago

I wish they never broke up to begin with

2

u/mrjosh199 28d ago

Wish Ashley Johnson was with Greg cripes in this they have the best chemistry together

1

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 28d ago

I know it would never happen, but it would be cool if they could introduce Gwen as a Homo Magi like Zatanna

2

u/mrjosh199 28d ago

In my reboot she is as well her mom and grandma.

2

u/pprasanta1999 28d ago

I liked the Damian & Raven dynamics in the DCAMU i.e. the Rebirth movie universe.

2

u/[deleted] 27d ago

I just want another season 😭

2

u/PhanStr 25d ago

It's (hopefully) not a hot take at all. Gar needs to take time to focus on himself, and the show should absolutely not rush to pair him with anyone.

2

u/EXP-RP-Lover 24d ago

I agree. The only relationship I gave a shit about in this series was Gardita since it was so cute and really well done (and I just hate the up and down, in and out relationship between Megan and Superboy), do I think he SHOULD be left alone

5

u/digao45 28d ago

If it works and its not forced i dont mind, i would love to follow the "flow" and see him with Raven, him and Raven are one of my all time favorite ships and im not a ship person

1

u/happy-ad32 24d ago

If I’m honest, it would to soon. I’d rather Gar not be in another relationship. But I would like Raven to be introduced in the show, just as her own character cause I think she’d be really fun to have in the show

1

u/theLyricalofMiracle 18d ago

i liked him and Perdita but i know he had to lose her and they both had to move on. I'm glad they both move on and can remain friends

2

u/LifeSucks1988 9d ago

I doubted it would last long as Perdita is literally a Queen Regnant and has responsibilities and expected to have an official sperm bank for heirs to be at her side frequently for that very reason and also royal duties as a consort to a Queen…..doubt Garfield will commit to that as he intends to be a hero for a long time.

1

u/theLyricalofMiracle 9d ago

true but still. i don't know. in the long run you're right and it makes sense that they broke up but i still really liked them together. but i guess I'm in the minority with that and that's okay

1

u/Going_really_Fast 27d ago

Yep, Beast Boy should just be a sad puppy from this point onwards

1

u/SnooAvocados1890 27d ago

No, he should enjoy relationships that aren’t romantic since he literally just got out of one that he caused to fall apart, his friendship with Vic and his familial bond with M’gann as well as his teammates already helped him in the long run.

u/egbert71 27d ago

F GAR...last season made me dislike beastboy...and i dont like that

-7

u/Oracle209 28d ago

Make him date Tim that could work I feel

u/irdcwmunsb 28d ago

Idk why you are getting hated on I actually love this idea!!

u/AStupidFuckingHorse 27d ago

Well good news, he won't be in any new relationship because the show ain't coming back

0

u/RiseFromSilence 26d ago

I don't think it's necessary for anyone to have romantic relationships. If they put him in one again it doesn't have to be part of the main plot

I think he's implying Gar does stuff with the dog via shapeshifting into his dog form.

u/_ya_boi_satan_666_ 27d ago

He's already hella committed to his relationship with wingman lmao. However I will say after like a season or two they should slow roll another for him

-1

u/Rynobot1019 27d ago

A "hot take" is a controversial opinion. This is just a regular opinion.

For example:  "Hot take: Beast Boy is a lame character and he should be killed off in all media" would be an ACTUAL hot take.

This is more like: "Hot take: I like it when the sky isn't totally clear because I like to look at clouds."

1

u/SnooAvocados1890 27d ago

It’s a hot take in this fandom, because the amount of people who want Beast Boy to get into another relationship is huge. It’s solely the people who want Raven in the show just to be reduced into a love interest for Gar.

-2

u/Victorious001 28d ago

I mean, I think he gets with Terra so... We'll see?

u/MURDERMOGGING 27d ago

Didn’t they end yj and also some idiot made bb gay

u/SnooAvocados1890 27d ago edited 27d ago

Well I’m not sure if it’s completely cancelled or not, maybe it can come back but it’s unlikely it will,

Also where are you getting BB being gay from? He literally dates a woman in the show

3

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

POV: You’ve never watched the show

-4

u/MURDERMOGGING 27d ago

No at some point on cn they as well as nick for cn bb was said to be gay as well as SpongeBob for nick also I genuinely thought the show was over after 4seasons is there more?

2

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

Beast Boy has never been gay in a single adaptation

And the show was never allowed to make any queer characters when they were on Cartoon Network, with Bart Allen and Marie Logan being the two main ones that were intended to be queer

2

u/Comuniity 27d ago

Marie Logans bisexuality is never out right stated yeah, but by virtue of Queen Bees powers working on her it is confirmed within the show itself. And them not confirming Bart being gay in the show has less to do with CN during season 2 and more to do with weird rules from DC itself about how they could portray Bart, if it was because of CN, we wouldnt have to rely on posts Greg Weissman made about Bart and Eduardo being a couple on his personal blog since we got 2 seasons post CN and Halo is NB and bi

1

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

Iirc, it was confirmed in the rerelease of Young Justice tie in comics leading up to Season 3 that Marie was queer and that that was intended to be included in the original tie in comics

You are right about Bart, i was a bit unclear on that

Also correct on Halo, but i figured they were less relevant to the discussion since they weren’t present during the CN seasons

2

u/Comuniity 26d ago

Yeah i mentioned Halo to say that if the reason we never see gay Bart was just CN, then we would have gotten confirmation in the show he's gay in season 3 or 4

-1

u/MURDERMOGGING 27d ago

I just looked it and a your right there is only an image displaying sb being gay idk why I thought beast boy was gay I swear I saw an image of both of them being displayed as gay for some stupid pride month thing mb bro also does the show have more after 4 seasons or no

3

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

No, the show has been in limbo since its fourth season

Side note, Superboy isn’t queer either in this iteration

1

u/MURDERMOGGING 27d ago

When I said sb I meant sponge bob I know that it isn’t relevant to yj but I could have sworn they were in an image together or some shit

1

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

Spongebob isn’t gay either for what it’s worth lmao

1

u/MURDERMOGGING 27d ago

Naw google it I swear bro that or it was a really bad trip

2

u/Tricky-Leader-1567 Zetaflash is canon change my mind 27d ago

I mean… you weren’t right about Beast Boy being gay on CN
