They give sublte deep dives into each of them. Titans isn't doing any of that. They just want to appeal to a very small market of fans of the Titans. Sure, the Arrowverse could have fixed it, but in the middle of an already massive event? Not really. Plus again, the Crisis is filming by the time Season 2 releases. It's the same reason Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D didn't address Infinity War. Because they didn't know how the aftermath would be adressed in Endgame. How can you even assume that the ENTIRE SHOW isn't doing any of that if the 2nd season isn't even out? Remember, the EXACT same people who worked on Titans worked on Doom Patrol. This isn't just a different crew but same company, no, most of the crew was in fact the same. And look, the Teen Titans are among my favorite superhero teams of all time. I've followed their journey through the comics and cartoons. They go through some serious personal dilemmas, and the DCU show managed to capture that perfectly, at least on the surface level that I know we're gonna see more in S2. In S1, I saw Dick Grayson's struggle to step out of Batman's shadow, I saw Kory and Rachel trying to come to terms with themselves, I saw Gar with that same journey (admittedly, making him EAT a guy was...no). Yes, Doom Patrol did it better, but by refusing to acknowledge its strengths means that EVERYTHING that the Arrowverse has done so far should be EQUALLY shunned.

I really...REALLY...hate when people just...say opinions that are subjective but treat them OBjectively, and I myself am guilty of this and I hate when I do it. But I still stand by what I say, because the show is still worth it because it's only the beginning. Smallville was a show that lasted 10 seasons too long, but it's a show that was well worth the wait and embodied some of the best aspects of Clark Kent as a character. The same goes for Titans. If it fails in it's 4th season like Arrow did for most of us, then all bets of mine are off. But I will die on the hill that Titans is just as worthy of crossover status as Arrow is.
