Pretty sure Uatu interferes in his very first comic appearence.

Its not a proper What If? series until he gets involved. Like that's Uata's defining character trait. He can't help but get involved and it pisses all the other Watchers off so much.

Well, yeah a few times in the actual What If comics does he get involved. He's done it for sure, but there's been hundreds of issues and it's only happened there a handful of times. But if he shows up in a regular book? Well odds are it's for one of three reasons 1) poo poo's about to go down and him standing there is how you know it's going down 2) He's about to interfere in some poo poo 3) To shame Beast.

Iirc, weren’t they like Skrulls at the time where they’d worked out a deal with Fox to use the species name and other characters, but the higher profile members (Uatu/Super-Skrull) were off the table and still tied to the Fantastic Four rights?

If I remember correctly that was one of the last things ve did before dying, right?

I just love the idea of Uatu knowing he was going to die, so he had to make sure he shamed Beast before that.

Sounds like he was shouting and being a dickhead, not that he was a sexpest.

You get the sense that HBO would probably take sexual harassment more seriously, given their pride over their intimacy co-ordinator program.

Speaking of Titans, I started to watch it and ugh, it is not good. I thought the "gently caress Batman" thing was gonna be like the only case of edginess, but the whole thing is like that. The majority of the characters are unlikable. Barbara Gordon may as well be a different character entirely and I don't know how anyone can enjoy any moment she's on screen.

It was. They cut it, and another episode, out of the first season, because they were worried about fan backlash. Then they reinserted the finale at the start of the second season, with some very minor changes to account for it being a season premier.

The other episode's crime was focusing on Starfire, a character that a lot of fans took umbrage with for... some reason.

I've always hoped they'd just release that one episode. It was originally their third, and from all accounts a) largely stood alone, and b) was filmed in Germany. I want to see those foreign film credits put to use!

Wasn't there something in season one where he was on painkillers because of injuries from being Hawk?

That's a solid cover if Bruce Wayne has an accent and Batman doesn't.

afaik, they didn't cut that episode out entirely - the originally shot episodes 3 and 4 were edited together into one episode. additionally, my understanding is that a lot of the Trigon material that was shot for the original S1 finale was heavily rewritten and reshot for the S2 premiere, and that it wasn't a simple reinsertion (i.e. originally the Doom Patrol was supposed to return to help the Titans out, and Dick was supposed to take on the Nightwing identity a full season earlier than ended up happening). I think there may also have been reshoots to other episodes to patch up some of the narrative gaps created by the reduced episode count, though I'm not sure as to their extent.

I think I'm done after the second season. amazing that a show with these characters manages to be this boring

I'm sure I've said this before, but Titans feels like it's trying to be a comic-book-y, fantastical, cheesy soap-opera CW superhero show and a grounded, gritty, violent Marvel Netflix show at the same time, and I remain thoroughly unconvinced that those are compatible tones

For an Arrowverse show they did a pretty decent job of threading that plot line through the entire season so it wasn't just one very special episode.
