Reminder that Starfire comes from a warrior race where killing is acceptable and it is seen as an honor when defending oneself. After being enslaved, going through unspeakables, and being experimented on, do you think she’d be all bubbly and happy and not killing?
Even the origin episode in Teen Titans had her act more violent and uncaring. It isn’t until she forms a bond with the team that she become more concerning and caring about others’ wellbeing.
After negative criticism/backlash online that made Anna Diop delete her Twitter account, critics unanimously agree that she is the best part of the show.
And Titans overall is getting rave reviews from critics and has been renewed for a season two!
The Titans cast were harassed on online for months after that badly edited trailer, and now Titans reviews are pouring in and suprisingly, they’re overwhelmingly positive.
Furthermore, after people complained about Starfire’s darker skin and called her a “cheap hooker” for months (causing the actress, Anna Diop, to have to turn off her instagram comments), she’s been praised as one of the best characters on the show.
