Yeah, Raven dies so that she can gain the power to destroy Trigon and then you get an image of the "normal" Raven assending into the air and she is gone. Much too complicated to get into in the cartoon with the number of times she is resurrected both good and bad and then the whole marrying Brother Blood thing (but that's...another story) is just creepy.

That's why I'm voting for extending time passing and maybe Arella and the doves of Azarath (someone had a great theory about them pehaps being the souls of the residents of Azarath) making an appearance along with Raven realizing what she is doing to her friends and then...bye bye Daddy.

Yeah, they do - and then Daddy wakes up pretty pissed off (the sequence takes forever in the comics, though):

I dunno about that, because her white robes should be indication of being free of Trigon's influence. So that bit may very well be from "The End part 3", with Raven on the rebound from any evil effects she may go through.


I realize she's in the White in that scene, but the hair may be a by-product of her powers unleashed when she went "bad" (in part 1 and/or 2).
It's not like Raven will put saving the World of Mortals on hold, just to go get a haircut... Wink

So she got killed, did she? That is sad. But in the second panel, at the bottom, Raven is like all " aahhhhh! They turn me on!" I dont get it.

Even if this is a Raven arc, I heard from this guy in a chatroom that the first part of the end was a Robin? episode? And the second one is a Starfire Episode? Then the last one was about Raven. Wtf? I asked him for official proof, but he didnt show any (I was getting REALLY suspisious) but he kept insisting that it was from "official" sources. Anyhoo, by now I know that idea is way too crazy to happen. But then theres this little thing in the back of my head that keeps bugging me this might be true. It's crazy what the word "official" can do to your head...

Well if some random person in a chatroom said it came form an "offical" source, then there is a 99.9% chance that it is not from an "offical" source(personal expirence).

Robin would sort of make sense given that Slade is a major villain this arc, but I really don't see the focus being moved from Raven to him. If anything, he'll play the secondary main character, sort of like Beast Boy in the Terra storyline and Starfire in the Apprentice episodes. But I have no idea why Starfire would be the focus of one of the episodes when she really has no ties to any of the villains or the major storyline, other than being a part of the Titans and wanting to save Raven and the city and that stuff.

Well exactly. I cant see how Robin and Starfire could hog 2 whole episodes to themselves in the end. But what really got me was that the guy said something about Starfire leaving earth. I thought he was refferring to how Raven planted a seed in her and then she left for tamaran (in the comics).

That can't be right. It has been said that it is about Raven. But we wouldn't know until then. That's what I hate when a person says it's official, when it is probably not. Yes, the word 'official' does kinda mess with your mind Smile

There will be over 60 minutes of story in 'The End'. There's a lot of room there to cover a lot of stuff. In 'Prophesy', Starfire makes it clear Trigon's rep spreads throughout known space. It is not too much a stretch, especially given Starfire's ability to leave Earth unaided (TWOQ, Transformation, Sisters), to think she might end up off-planet at some point.

And although this IS a Raven arc, other characters have always played parts in previous arcs. And we've never had so much time to play with before. Just because other characters play a big part at times doesn't mean the story won't continue to revolve around Raven. Never fear, rabid Raven fans, I am confident your insatiable hunger will not be left unsatisfied...

Ok, looking at the comic that RavenStar has posted, I was wondering...

The Titans turned evil, but in the commercial we see Cyborg fighting as evil version of himself. could this be him fighting it in his mind? if not then I wonder where they are going to take this finale.

(btw: I don't see Cyborg giving losing if this is him fighting himself in his mind. He has been shown to be the teammate that his undying willpower and endurance.

Oh, and thanks RavenStar.

You're only seeing the aftermath in those scans. The Titans don't turn evil in the comic story, they fight evil versions of themselves.

Evil gray-colored versions...

With red eyes...

Kinda like in the commercial...

Hmmmm....

there's a single collection of just the "Terror of Trigon" story you can pick up for like 12 bucks, I think.

EDIT: 15 bucks, actually.

Ok here's my idea for The End after going over the Trigon comics arc and speculating over the show.

Maybe Part One will start normally with Star trying to talk to Raven who lashes out at her which begins her giving into Trigon's control. Raven explains that she is beginning to feel her angry side coming back and this time it might not go away. Then the rest of the episode involves them fighting Slade and finally understanding everythign that is going on. Then at the end maybe Trigon finally comes to being and he attacks the Titans, using Raven to finish them off. But they aren't dead yet cus Raven's good side spared them, sort of.

Part Two might involve the Titans having to face their evil selves and their worst fears before they can deal with Raven and Trigon (They didn't die they just ended up in a dark kidna shadowy place). Then eventually they get out but Raven has gone evil and they're sad about it. Slade is still around and explains that Raven needs to die to defeat Trigon. Then Raven fights her evil side in her head, (hot Raven on Raven action!) her good self trying to take back control. In the end Good Raven loses and it ends up that there is NO Raven left at all, cus she died trying to deal with herself. (I can't imagine them having the Titans take her down because that'd be too dark for the show)

Part Three, Raven is gone and the Titans do some fighting, and Trigon does some fighting. The Titans are uber pissed at both Slade and Trigon for what happened to Raven and this leads to a huge epic battle scene in which the Titans try their best to take down Trigon once and for all. Eventually when all seems totally hopeless the Titans are slowly falling one by one. Robin who is the last to fall begins to black out when he calls out to Raven and in a big dramatic tear-jerky moment she returns in her white cloak to save the day!

Just my ideas of what might happen based on the comics and how the show works. I don't think the Titans would kill Raven in the show, or anyone for that matter, so that's why I figure she might die by other means, that is assuming she dies at all. Again, this is all just my crazy theories

Or maybe, knowing Teen Titans is a kids show after all, Raven will pull a Terra.

Have a hard time believing that they'd kill off the one of the most popular, if not the most popular character in the show.

Whups, I misunderstood. Was more referring to your insinuation that her unruly-looking hair indicated corruption.

So would they have a new character named lilith added to the show? Oh I dunno. Or maybe someone who tries to get Raven killed. Where did Slade fit in with the comics, though? I really dont get that.

He's not in there. The closest we get is his son Jericho, and he pretty much spends the entire arc curled up in foetal position, trying to swallow his tongue, because he failed a SANITY CHECK when he tried to defeat DEMON RAVEN by using his possession power on her.

Lilith is probably not gonna show up.

I'd post scans of the whole thing, but I'm not going to.
1) It's a sh!tload of scans.
2) The comic story deserves to be bought and read.
3) "The End" will be much different from it, as already seen from the commercials.
4) Sometimes I just enjoy seeing people squirm in anticipation (hey, I'm a writer myself, it comes with the territory).

I agree. The Prophecy set Arella up to fill the roles of both the mother and the wise mystic who goes with the flow of Destiny and steps in when prophecy says it's time to.

If Arella isn't going to be the panicky mom watching bad things happen by--and to--her baby, then she doesn't need Lillith to channel Azar for wisdom, courage, and recognition of when it's time to put Raven back together.

As far as the Slade/Jericho connection, Jericho was the one who sort of set things going downhill in the first place by entering Raven's soul (uninvited) to see if there was anything he could do to help. Trigon caught him, and if Raven herself hadn't shown up and given him the opportunity to escape (and been caught in the process), he would have been eternal toast.

Talk about the road to Hell being paved with good intentions... Rolling Eyes

In the show arc, Raven's destiny is far more mark-your-calendar than it was in the comics. Slade's role is to provide a patronly extra nudge, that keeps her on the track destiny has provided, by making sure she fulfills the elements of the prophecy (whether she wants to or not) like a good little girl Evil .

Of course, Slade isn't doing all this simply because he's a masochist (or out of the goodness of his heart)--he has reasons. It would appear the commission waiting for him at the completion of his task is no small part in those reasons...
But that's a whole different thread. Wink

Lilith will not be in "The End." David Slack said so himself.

I agree with more or less everything Fledgling said. My theory on Arella is that, foremost, she will appear at least once in "The End." As far as her having powers at all, I'm not sure. On one hand, I have read the comics, and from them I know that Raven's powers come from Trigon, and Arella was mortal. But again, the comics don't always correspond to the show. However, in this case I can't personally imagine it being that different. On the other hand, Arella didn't look very human, what with purple hair and wandering around on Azarath. I think if Arella has any powers at all, it will be, as Fledging said, as a type of mystic, and to step in to do her duty--whatever that may be--at the time of the prophecy's fulfilling.

However, if I recall correctly, no one's really sure whether or not Raven's vision on Azarath was real or not, considering the blistering double eyes of Trigon show up and start having a good laugh as all things begin to burn. As it goes, I think the show's creators have done a wonderful job of not letting us have much of anything concrete to work with as far as Arella and Azarath are concerned.

My theory on Raven's sudden spurt of hair growth would not be a passing of time. I don't know, I can't imagine them doing a time passage of two years and being like, "Well, Slade said we'd see Trigon soon, but soon in interdimensional time is a couple years later." It doesn't sit well with me, and I feel like the characters would have to be edited according to their new ages. All of them. It'd be...a different dynamic, I guess. Can't imagine it. Imagine if Beast Boy had to like...mature or something (big heart BB!) So I think Raven's long hair is going to be more of a symbol of what she's become.

In "Switched" Raven tells Starfire she hates long hair. It's a stretch, but how does that connect to Raven turning evil? She's going to hate what she's become. Why not everything about it, hair included? I think it'll be very much like Slade grabbing her and setting it off, except this time it will be her anger that takes control, and as her eyes glow red and she grows fangs a la "Nevermore," she'll show the marks of Skath and grow out her hair. A complete transformation from the Raven we knew. I think it would rock even more if Evil! Raven's cloak turned red.

That's my crazy theories! The More You Know Laughing

^ I think raven might get kicked out, or leave the titans for a while. (Like in the comics?) The titans kicked her out because they didnt trust her. Yeah something like that. So maybe while she was kicked out she got captured by slade. Oh I dunno.
