Starfire's season?

[Nftnat]

I've read things online theorizing that each season of Teen Titans concentrates on the struggle of one fo the members of the team. To look at Seasons 1-4, it would seem there's proof of this theory.

Season 1: Robin, with Slade
Season 2: Beast Boy, with Tara, and Slade
Season 3: Cyborg, with Brother Blood and the new improved Hyve.
Season 4: Raven, with her father, and Slade

So what happens with Season 5? Was there any concentration on Starfire's struggles? Was there an attempt to, until it was found that basically everything that could be done with her character had already been done in secondary arcs of previous seasons? (Of course I'm speaking of her sister) Was Season 5 a necessary continuation of Raven's struggles in Season 4, with Starfire going without the angst? Was it determined that angst just doesn't work with Starfire on a sustained basis? Or is the whole theory nonsense?

I've heard that theory before. I've also heard the producers and writers quoted as saying that Starfire didn't need her own season-long arc, since the standalone episodes that focus on her were always so strong.

Yep what I heard was the producer's favorite standalone episodes were starfire's .

Was it determined that angst just doesn't work with Starfire on a sustained basis?

Even if that wasn't "determined", it's probably true. Some people have deemed season 5 another Beast Boy season. The first couple and last couple episodes, anyway.

Season 1 = Robin
Season 2 = Terra
Season 3 = Cyborg
Season 4 = Raven
Season 5 = Beast Boy

Starfire never got a season, maybe because the creators always seem to bind her to Robin and his role.

Starfire didn't need a season? Please. She was the least developed of the characters. While Cyborg wasboring, at least we knew his reasoning behind his attitude and behavior to some extent. I felt like Starfire changed sporatically. After season one her naivete and understanding of Earth culture was shaky at best. It was just weird.

I like the whole crew as a cast, but as characters I find Cyborg and Starfire the least interesting. I didn't enjoy much of either of their standalone eps. (I thought Sisters and the sequel to it were so mundane...) So in that regard, maybe it was a good thing Starfire never got all that much focus. But in others, maybe they could have given her a real personality and something to fight for. She just seemed to react to the situations she was put in often.

had there been a 6th season perhaps they would've focused heavily on Slade
I was SO looking forward his return after the threat/promise from S4's "The End"
