Doom Patrol (2019 TV series)



The Doom Patrol are the title characters of the 2019 DC Universe (later HBO Max, then Max) original "Doom Patrol".

Why Doom Patrol Rocks

 * 1) Between them and 2018's "Titans", they choose to act like their own team than try to be too edgy.
 * 2) *Despite their TV-MA rating, they do not try to act over-the-top with excess violence just like the title team in "Titans".
 * 3) Their tragic backstories are easy to sympathize with any of the characters.
 * 4) They are hardly mean to anyone unless they had a reason to.
 * 5) The team have more interesting character traits.
 * 6) Many of the members of the team are portrayed by A-List celebrities, including Brendan Fraser of Scrubs and George of the Jungle fame as the voice of Robotman.
 * 7) Rita Farr/Elastic-Girl retains her Causasian ethnicity instead of blackwashing her like what Teen Titans Go (2013-present) did to her incarnation on that show.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Cyborg is on the team for some reason, although he was on the Teen Titans and the Justice League in the actual comics.
 * 2) Niles was responsible for the mishaps of many of his teammates. However, his motives were justified.
 * 3) Crazy Jane's negative behavior may unnerve some viewers.
 * 4) Their destruction of the town while stopping Mr. Nobody was what made them a pariah to many people.

Trivia

 * In the original comics, Cyborg was a member of the Teen Titans and the Justice League.
