I would give it half a star if I could!
This episode MAKES ME VERY ANGRY. I already hate Teen Titans Go! But this crossed the line 10 times over. This episode caused me to stop turning on Cartoon Network because of what was in it. Which, spoiler alert: You will see!
Firstly, this episode is about Starfire getting bucket list. But here's the catch: SHE NEVER WANTED ONE TO BEGIN WITH! But the Titans just give her one anyways despite her saying "no". Where did they get it from the internet?! That's a red flag because it depicts her as being dependent, which is really bad and she HAS A RIGHT TO HER OWN DECISIONS. Sure, a bucket list may give you a quality of life but how you live your life is up to you, not other people, they can give you suggestions but you choose your own path. Like, if you just want to lay around and watch Netflix until the day you die, that's on you, you suffer the consequences, sure it may not be a good life but that's how you chose to live it. My point is the Titans should not have forced Starfire to have a bucket list, if she didn't want one then so be it. That's a bad lesson to teach children, it shows them that everyone has control over them. And that's not even the worse part!
After this, we get very unfunny scenes where Starfire completes her stolen bucket list. Like, Morgan Freeman so the writers can remind us "Yes, we are parodying Bucket List", which is a real movie, btw and an insult to it too. And the comedian scene is just cringe, American Dad did it better!
Then, here's the worst part of all, believe it or not, THIS ACTUALLY AIRED ON TV, I caught it, it was not cut out, YOU COULD SEE IT. One of the "goals" on the bucket list was "Make a difference in a child's life". How do they do this? If you say "fund a school", you ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG. Raven "rescues" a baby girl, KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS A REAL BABY, NOT A BABY DOLL OR PLUSHIE, and gives her to Starfire. Raven asks what to do with the baby, Starfire says "Care for her." Raven says "no" even though the BABY ACTUALLY DOES NEED CARE!! Then the Titans proceed to fight over the baby like toddlers fighting over a toy, then the baby starts crying and Starfire THROWS THE BABY ON A BUS LIKE SHOOTING A BASKETBALL IN A HOOP. The Titans cheer and praise her for her horrific actions. I can't believe this!!! This actually aired on TV, it made me very angry and sick to my stomach, what sick twisted person storyboarded this and why did the director allow this?!!! And how did the FCC overlook this?!! Well, I know the answer to the last question, nobody watches cable TV anymore, we stream now and the government does not keep a close eye on streaming so they can get away with all kinds of horrific stuff. (That's why Big Mouth was allowed) But gosh, I can't believe this aired on TV!!! In real life, the baby would've died or became severely disabled if she survived. Also, what baffles me more is that it didn't catch anyone's attention, why? It still airs to this day, I see no reviews of it EVER, not even on YouTube or review websites, like I was sure I would find an angry parent complaining about this. And what baffles me EVEN MORE is that abuse scenes were not allowed to air on TV, the infamous Caillou episode, Big Brother Caillou was banned because there was a scene where Caillou pinches his newborn sister out of jealousy and when it aired on Cartoonito, the scene was COMPLETELY CUT OUT. Yet the Titans were ALLOWED TO FULL ON ABUSE AN ACTUAL BABY ONSCREEN!!!! That's hypocrisy!! I am hoping that one this episode gets pulled from the airwaves, never to be seen again or just have the scene cut out. Plus given that most of TTG's audience are very young children, some that are not even potty trained yet, this makes me sick because it also unintentionally teaches these children that it's okay to brutally hurt babies like they're objects and some of these kids probably have a baby sibling or a baby in their house (I am not going to ignore the fact that some families have extended members living under the same roof) and they will think it's okay to hurt their infant sibling/cousin/pibling (some aunts and uncles are younger than you)/godsibling because the Titans did it. I can't believe this was allowed to air and went unnoticed by many!!
Then, the ending is just insulting, it cuts to the future where Titans are old people, Starfire has to kick a bucket because she finished her stolen bucket list, she befriends him then Beast Boy kicks him because he slept with his wife. Starfire shouldn't kick the bucket because IT WAS NEVER HER LIST TO BEGIN WITH. It's taking the prize of a contest you never won and participated in. So, in short, this episode is unfunny, disgusting, and sickening.
