Im So Normal About Hobie

not to be dramatic but i just wanna say that i hate this whole kind of thing with all my being and think it makes fandoms worse and aggressively uninteresting

no gods or masters in fandom please and thanks.

some days you cannot help but pity some people

What really gets me is that every Robin has an opposite.

Dick and Jason are opposites. Dick came to Bruce bitter and grieving and angry with the world, and being Robin slowly allowed him to take out his frustration in a way that Bruce never could. By the time Dick is Nightwing, he's essentially a more well-adjusted Batman. He's more chill and laid back, and most of all, he's happy with the world.

Jason, on the other hand, came to Bruce excited and full of wide-eyed wonder. He'd had a tough life up until that point but chose to reinvent himself. He was happy and cheerful and being Robin gave him magic. And then he died. When Jason comes back, he's angry with himself, Bruce, Dick, the Joker, and the world that let him die.

Tim and Steph are also opposites. Tim grew up rich and privileged. He saw evil in the world, but from his place above it all, he thought that heroes could end it. He was cheerful and optimistic about how justice would prevail. And then Tim becomes Robin, and he sees that evil up close for the first time. He sees it in the villains he fights, in the way Bruce grieves his son, in the way that everyone he loves dies. He becomes depressed and cynical. He still thinks heroes do good, but he knows he's truly barely making a dent.

Steph grew up on the streets. Her father was a villain. She knew evil, had seen it first hand since before she ever should have known it existed. She's cynical, and doesn't think heroes can stop all the evil she knows to exist. And then she becomes Spoiler, and then Robin. And she sees for the first time how much heroes truly do. She becomes more optimistic, realizing that if heroes work together, they may finally put a stop to the evil in the world.

And then there's Damian. He doesn't have an opposite, at least yet. If we ever get another Robin, though, I'd expect them to follow the pattern.

What I can say about Damian, though, is that he and Dick are the same. Not completely, but they both start their careers as Robin bitter and maladjusted. Damian appears to be following Dick's path of mellowing out. Not to Dick's extent, of course, but close enough that Dick can see himself in Damian.

PLATONIC INTERPRETATIONS OF CHARACTER DYNAMICS ARENT ANY LESS VALID THAN ROMANTIC ONES PELASEE

And then they pack the movie with gore, the characters are trash, the worst written ones I've seen in a while and that's why the movie has 29% rotten tomatoes

it should have less

“limited series” “infinity comic” “cancelled after 10 issues” “written by [the same horrible writer who has written everything for the past three years]” “soft universe reset” “movie adaptation” I really don’t think we’re gonna make it guys
