Robin didn't exactly reject Starfire in the main Teen Titans canon; rather, they both harbored secret feelings but were too afraid to confess, leading to misunderstandings, while in Teen Titans Go!, Robin's attempts to win her over often backfired due to his controlling nature or faulty tech, showing his awkwardness rather than outright rejection, though he did try to date others like Wonder Girl. The core reason for the distance was often Robin's own insecurities and bossiness clashing with Starfire's alien perspective, making her treat him as a friend, even as their romantic tension grew in the original series.

Teen Titans Go! isn't primarily an LGBTQ+ show, but it does feature LGBTQ+ characters and themes, with some characters like Ted Kord and Michael Carter identified as gay, and other characters sparking discussions about queer identity or representing different identities, although the show's comedic focus often supersedes deep exploration of these topics.

Raven's main weakness is letting go of her emotions, especially rage. Terra learned it from Beast Boy and took advantage of it in Aftershock - Part 1 to using it to finish her off.
