In episode 7 of Titans Season 3, we saw the return of Krypto and learned a fascinating lesson about the idea of “51%” from Blackfire. But it wasn’t just Blackfire’s lesson or Krypto that caught our attention this time, it was also getting to see Gar using his own gifts to try to learn more about Jason.

Of all the members of the Titans who were friends with Jason before he went down this path towards becoming the Red Hood, Gar is the only one who has clearly not given up on his friend. And that means that while everyone else is trying to stop the violence in Gotham, Gar is trying to save Jason.

We want more Beast Boy in our lives so it was nice to really see the character get a chance to shine, even if it isn’t in hero mode, but rather doing what he feels is the right thing.

Titans gives us some interesting looks at multiple characters in “51%”

Obviously, Gar wasn’t the only star of the show, as we also got the chance to learn more about Blackfire and what really happened when she killed her and her sister’s parents. It seems that the idea of 51 percent was in play – when 49 percent of a decision is bad, but the other 51 percent is good or for the greater good, then you opt for the 51 percent.

And the 51 percent in this case was the idea that in order to retain power and please the people, they (Blackfire and Starfire’s parents) would need to sacrifice their daughter for the greater good.

It was a startling reveal that easily explained what really happened for Blackfire and why she killed her parents.

But of course, the star of the show for us was none other than Krypto, who made his return just in time for the Titans to take down a major portion of Scarecrows operation. Not only was Krypto able to stand at Superboy’s side once again, but he also helped to take down some bad guys.

It was nice to see Krypto getting his Superdog on. From the laser eyes to basically stopping a bullet, Krypto was more than just strong, he was a Titan.

This was actually a great episode of Titans for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was the fact that we got to see Krypto in action again. We need more of him on our screens, but we also want more of Gar and Conner as well.

Next. Turner & Hooch found themselves in trouble after they were set up in “Arf Appreciation”. dark

What did you think of the latest episode of Titans on HBO Max? Did you think “51%” revealing the truth of Blackfire’s past was enough to make her worthy of being a member of the Titans? Were you excited to see Krypto back with the team? Are you rooting for Gar to save Jason? We want to know.
