The first set photos for Titans, the upcoming show based on DC Comics‘ Teen Titans Go! have been released – and some have gone pretty far in their reactions. Mostly have been negative, as is the case with many set photos, because fans tend to overreact to an unfinished product, rather than wait. For reference, here are some of the photos that have hit the web this past week:

The reactions were all over the place, to say the least:
Did some more research on #starfire in the 80s and she seems to be accurate to her look from there. I think we should all wait to see the final product because we should never judge set photos. Let’s have faith! #Titans #teentitans pic.twitter.com/9ZgSemGv5C

I wanna see the Teen Titans Go movie. I’m not being ironic when I say I like TTG, I actually really do! I keep the kids meal sticker set on my computer tower pic.twitter.com/s8Zfd6HA5P

My thoughts on the Teen Titans set photos:
THESE 👏 ARE 👏 CASUAL 👏 CLOTHES 👏
These are NOT their superhero costumes
Also
Teen 👏 Titans 👏 the cartoon 👏 is not 👏 what 👏 this 👏 show 👏 is 👏 based 👏 on 👏👏
These memes & reactions are fucking silly. Y’all look dumb AF

I really hope these are just giant set ups for Epic Rap Battle of History season 6 or else these would be very bad

For everyone complaining about the look of the Teen Titans from the leaked set photos of the actors partially in costume, please find the similar leaked photo of Chadwick Boseman and Danai Gurira from Black Panther and I think that movie ended up looking OK. pic.twitter.com/WhseLSfkJX

Just saw the set photos of Starfire in the new Teen Titans live action show. Looks like a cheap $5 hooker.

I just saw a leaked stolen photo of Titans on set. And I could only say that “Please don’t ruin teen titans with your overly PC bullshit.”

people are way too quick to completely shit on BEHIND THE SCENE photos for teen titans…..like it’s not meant to look fantastic because…they’re not……filming…..they’re walking around…..on set

Just saw the set photos for the Teen Titans live-action series… Really wish they went with something more like @_gabrielpicolo fanart. Could’ve been so interesting and cool.

I don’t know who was working on the set design or costumes but you guys are butchering the teen titan live action show I’m disappointed why does StarFire look like a Grandtheft auto hooker and of course Best Boy doesn’t have green skin pic.twitter.com/Jw8XbViNwM

Wish the general public would back off the Teen Titans live-action actress for Starfire. The photo is a candid set shot, out of context…. no need to make attacks on the poor girl.

I love Teen Titans, and I saw the first images of the cast on set, and I strongly dislike it.
I dislike it so much I just ranted to not only my programming class but my programming professor too.
They agreed with me.
AHHH. pic.twitter.com/Ts2eD5LPa2

Ppl have been complaining about starfire being dark skin bc “she’s orange in the comics” but if she was white no one would have cared plz stop trying to cover your anti-blackness & colorism by acting like you care about comic accuracy.

Starfire actress Anna Diop actually responded, saying:

The Titans show currently doesn’t have a release date.
