TEEN TITANS GO! “Starliar” Review


Starfire gets her second segments in a row. Is this one an improvement over the previous one?

In “Starliar“, the Titans are distressed when they aren’t invited to the big dance party. Well, Starfire (Hynden Walch) was invited, but only her. Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) urges her to lie to the other Titans, as to not hurt their feelings. After the naïve Starfire gets some lying lessons, she gets to work.

I will say right now that “Starliar” is a definite step-up from “Parasite“. The gross-humor is kept to a minimum, and Starfire retains her cute personality without getting annoying. Her “wink face” is possibly the cutest lying tick I have ever seen. I am glad that Hynden Walch reprised the role, her voice is just so sweet.

Starfire manages to think up some interesting lies, but the lies aren’t the funny part, it is what results from them. The results are appropriately slap-stick, without getting to be too silly.

Less welcome is a sub-plot about Silkie. Basically, he goes mad with hunger and starts to devour everything (even a poor demon), but it over-stays it’s welcome and never really ties-in with the main plot in a satisfying way.

Anyways, I liked this one. Not the absolute funniest, but it was pleasant, and that is all I can ask for. Oh, and Batgirl cameo!
