This is such a great episode but it does have a few flaws.
As much as I love when character's spirits' get switched and they need to learn how to cope with their new bodies this is version of Teen Titans is done decently.
When you take two people that are total opposites and see you see find their way around each other you are going to have a laugh.
How I view the Titans
I feel that Beast boy is like a male version of Starfire. They are different, they're not the same but they are similar. They're both joyful, energetic and have a very cute child-like innoence.
Robin is a male version of Raven. They're both quite, shy and a little timid.
That Cyborg is a male version of Terra (Yes I do count her as a Titan)
Beast Boy and Star are the more lively and youthful versions of the group, always with a smile on their face.
Robin and Raven are the more intense characters, calm and composed, Robin even said it himself that they have a connection. Besides the fact that they're both named after type birds.
Cyborg is like a male version of Terra because when you first meet them they're so goofy and energetic, but still rather serious and witty when you need to be.
You could say they that they are a mixture of the others. They have Beast Boy and Stafire's gleeful personality and Robin and Raven's darkness.
I know it we should never judge a book by it's cover but we can tell just by looking at them that they are opposites. Opposites does not mean that you have nothing in common and you're nothing alike. But if people only know you as one-dimensional they would say that you're opposites. But in this episode they see that they have lots in common.
They both have a unique way to use their powers and as we learn those things we learn that the way they use their powers is what it truly is that makes them so different. We learn that Star is not the only foreigner, that earth is also not Raven's true home.
At first in the episode Raven is annoyed with Star because she wants to meditate in peace whilst Star wants to spend time with her at the mall. When she suggests they play together with the dolls she rejects her.
Seeing them adjusting to their new powers and trying to get along while they're being chased is not only funny but it's very fast-paced and it's a great way to keep the viewer engaged.
They really do make a great team. Star helps her open up to others a little more and try out new things and Raven helps her to learn to take things slow and to control her emotions whenever she starts to panic.
They do get to find out way more about each other but the only problem is that we as viewers don't. We don't know how what they bonded over, we don't know that much about them, I get that it was going to get explored later on in further seasons but come on. I get that we're only seven episodes in and they can't give too much away but that's the thing, when it comes to these types of episodes you have to do it when you know the characters a little better.
Well once they gain their powers the battle scene between them and the titan's soulless bodies is epic and so entertaining.
Those are my only complaints about this episode, I love the way their friendship became stronger. I love this episode.
