I love how much of a character subversion Scratch is. Usually when you have a grumpy character it takes like 2 seasons for them to even admit that they even like the other characters. But like. Scratch admits that Molly is important to him in episode 5, and before that he becomes genuinely protective of her all the way back in episode 2. He goes soft fast, and he doesn't even deny it. He makes regular shows of affection to all of the McGees and is just happy to vibe around them. Sure, he's still grumpy a lot of the time (that's just his personality), but that doesn't change the fact that he's "McGee-Adjacent."

And MOLLY. She's optimistic to an unrealistic degree, but you actually get to see the realistic negative traits that would come from someone that unrealistically positive, to the point that, paradoxically, her character feels more realistic. She's a headstrong girl who wants to push for everyone's happiness, but that can ultimately cause just as many problems as it solves. She doesn't make compromises, even when she should, and she refuses to show negativity (most famously exemplified by her "Everything is Totally Normal" song).

Together, they cover each other's weaknesses while absorbing each other's strengths. Molly makes sure Scratch gets out there to actually DO something with his afterlife every once and a while, and Scratch makes sure to get Molly out of danger when her do-gooding goes too far.

TL;DR: Show good.

Other people and Cartoon Network themselves don’t seem to understand WHY people hate Teen Titans Go

If you bring up TTG and your dislike of it, you’re either greeted with people who agree with you, or people who say ‘You’re living in the past’ or ‘It’s a KIDS show get over it’ or ‘This is different, it’s not meant to be taken seriously’

This is what people and Cartoon Network themselves fail to understand: We get that and pretty much fully accept this is not OUR Teen TItans

It’s not that we’re opposed to the idea of a comedic reboot of something we love at all, I mean it’s worked amazingly in the past! Sonic is really benefiting from it with the new cartoon series, and even something as serious as BATMAN turned into Batman Brave and the Bold, and a lot of people love that series!!

So it’s not the fact that they turned Teen Titans into a comedy: It’s the fact that they did it wrong on so many levels, and the fact that the show runners and the network itself act like literal children when it comes to criticism.
