Total Chaos 9! (Team Titans #3)

[pyrotwilight]

Somewhat cheesy, somewhat anticlimactic the end of Total Chaos!

After this I should probably get around to posting the Team Titans origin stories...hmmm...

8 pages from a 24 page story




Lest we forget the last parts of the story brought all the parties colliding with one another.

Deathstroke's died. The Team Titans and New Titans have teamed up. Donna going by the name Troia has activated her full Titan God powers and is apparently being driven a bit nutty from it. Lord Chaos her son from the future wants her dead and has brought his cannon  troops from his timeline alongside him to take over this past or as he sees it alternate past. 

The battles hitting a fevered pitch as the Titan groups try clearing a path through the troopers to Lord Chaos. Meanwhile Troia's going power crazy and wailing on Lord Chaos.                





Enter Battalion.



Chaos then goes on how he can't believe his mother wasted her powers not using them like he has.

Lord Chaos: I returned us (the gods) to glory!



The background changes during this boss fight and the groups are pulling into the world of the Titan Gods/Titans of Myth.



Oh Pantha, you so murdery.

Then Baby Wildebeest, after Troia'ss nearly defeated Lord Chaos, says he wants to kill him and Troia tells him that's her job.

This makes her current mind and her old way of thinking as Donna start colliding from the differences since the old Donna wouldn't be so blood thirsty. And she starts realizing that her powers must be driving her mad, since she wasn't supposed to receive them for another 50 years. And the Titan gods start telling her that she was chosen for these powers because of her ability to love all life.

They then tell her that only love can calm someone's madness and to help them reach Lord Chaos.

And thus....



Donna enters hug mode and defeats Lord Chaos, shunting him to where the Titans of Myth will beat his ass until he gets with the godly program and Donna removes her powers so that she can live a normal life.





Pantha: Wait...How the hell do we get down from here?

Love how Carrie's practically squeeing over Donna and Terry. Hah.

Teh end, Donna has defeated the baddie with LOOOOVE.

And they all lived happily ever af....

Oh, wait.

[greenmask]

Awwwwh.

But the colours! My eyes!

[icon_uk]

And this reminds me why I never liked Kevin Maguire's art... And the Team Titans.. Oy vey....

[cuntfucius]

HAHAHAHAH

[jaybee3]

I might be the only one to ever say it but I miss Pantha. Her inglorious death (along with Baby Wildebeast) was just a waste.

[cuntfucius]

I miss her all of the time too :(

[ruhig_knight]

No you're not alone...and yes her and Baby Wildebeast's deaths were indeed sad and pointless.

[mistersandman]

What is this.

[icon_uk]

I don't know but I recall something sort of similar at the end of 2001: A Space Oddysey

[psychopathicus_rex]

I'm guessing it's supposed to be a reminder that, uh, Donna's baby, which she's more or less forgotten about, is still down there somewhere.

[nezchan]

It's sort of like a baby, if you squished it up a bit.

[inexpediency]

Yeah I found that panel to be a little, um...disconcerting. The eyes, man. What is up those eyes I don't even know man.

Also: I am currently RIGHT NOW reading Homestuck, so nice icon.

[rordulum]

I just can't find any story with Terry Long in it anything but slightly creepy, I'm afraid.

Dick's super-mullett doesn't help, either.

[cuntfucius]

Terry kind of looks like Hagrid in that second to last page -- bottom right panel.

:) Oh Donna.

[greenmask]

Hahaha

He does!

[jlbarnett]

Didn't an issue of Titans Go! turn Battalion into an upgraded Cyborg?

I know the Team Titans future was revealed to be fake but with Chaos in the Greek Titans hands you'd think they'd be able to hold onto him. So what happened to him, anyway?

[bluefall]

Meh. I'm with Artemis on this one.

[cuntfucius]

Hahah, what she said to Donna was pretty hilarious.

[pyrotwilight]

Artemis?

[cuntfucius]

Artemis had a talk (er, oh-no-they-didnt session) with Darkstar Donna on this. Basically said this was a very dumb decision of her.

[icon_uk]

And Donna acknowledged that it was a wrong move (Though if she hadn't been a mentor to the Team Titans she might have been able to retire gracefully). Donna did try to reclaim her powers from the Olympians in the Team Titans run, but was rejected. Shortly after that she suffered third degree Byrnes...

[bluefall]

Snerk.

I don't know, would Donna have been *able* to stay out of the fight? I mean, it's true that if she hadn't been mentoring the Team Titans things might have been different, but... if Bruce could make peace with his parents' death he could stop being Batman, y'know? As much as Donna cares about her friends and the ideals they fight for, it's hard to imagine her just cutting ties and leaving them to their fates. And given her talents and nurturing tendencies, it's equally hard to imagine her being around the cape community and not taking up some kind of supportive role like that.

I mean, it makes perfect sense that she'd make this call here - it's kind of a split-second decision and it's hard to conceive of anything that would have her emotions running higher, and she's still really young to boot - but I don't think there was any way it could ever have worked out for her.

[psychopathicus_rex]

So, uh... WHY is Battalion there? And why is he such a psychopath?

[pyrotwilight]

A) He wanted to bust some heads.

B) Well he's their drill instructor far as he sees long as long as he doesn't kill them he's training them.

He's actually a big tamer in the actual Team Titans series.

[psychopathicus_rex]

He went back through time, never to return, just 'cause he was spoiling for a fight? This man has some SERIOUS aggression issues.

[icon_uk]

He seems to have been a deliberate riff on Cable... except even less interesting.

[psychopathicus_rex]

If he were a deliberate riff on Cable, wouldn't he have a metal left arm or something? Not to mention oodles of ANGST! If he's a riff on anyone, I'd say it's Wolverine, what with the cigar and the hair and the bad attitude. (Of course, Wolvie is short, and this guy is... NOT short, but that could be a deliberate inversion.)

[pyrotwilight]

He actually does have quite a bit of angst as we see later on...

[psychopathicus_rex]

Ah. Well, maybe he's a synthesis of the two, then.

[icon_uk]

Massive drill sergeant travels back from the future to train young heroes and, as noted, a dumptruck full of angst and a gun the size of a pick-up truck? Sorry Logan fans, that's Cable. (The hair is just inexplicable, but this was the 90's)

[psychopathicus_rex]

Well, yeah, but '90's Cable was always more on the 'grim' side of the grim n' gritty - I mean, he was a Liefeld character; he gritted out his words from behind a perpetual scowl, except when he was on a cover - then he went 'RHAAAAH!' This guy may have Cable's general schtick, but he's borrowed his, shall we say, zest for life from early Wolvie.

[tacobob]

Eweee. When did Pantha ever have lizard feet? Ugh. This art makes me taste metal. Ack.

[superfangirl1]

The hair my god! :P

[njcinlbc]

Now this was truly painful... I mean ever panel-every line of (I guess you call it dialog?) just the worst..and the saddest part I was at the comic shop at 10am banging on the door to get this thrilling conclusion! Ahhh the 90's-

[inexpediency]

Second panel, third page--is it me or does Dick look like he's about to throw a hissy fit?

[biznizzonpeyote]

Huh, suddenly even the worst bits of the last couple years of Teen Titans suddenly don't seem so bad by comparison.

...Was Wolfman having a mental breakdown while writing this? Because this... and people think Grant Morrison is cracky (which he is, but at least it's GOOD cracky).
