Rage and squee- this is how my comic reviews are this week.

Jul 10, 2009 21:43

Okay, before we get into the comics I bought, let's talk about one I by all rights should have bought, but that I ended up not getting out of sheer disgust (and not wanting to waste money on a comic I wouldn't enjoy...) after reading at work ( Read more... )

See, what I got from Red Robin was that we were supposed to take Steph's side. Because she's obviously not a lying untrustworthy bitch, I felt like they were attempting to show just how crazy Tim is right now by having him be so cruel to her for no reason.

...I am possibly giving Yost too much credit here, though.

I got the same feeling as you from the book. Tim spiralling into a mess and this tretament of Steph is highlighting this.

nevermore999 July 11 2009, 15:29:19 UTC

This may be true, but I'm so tired of Tim being crazy, I'm not really interested in him until he stops. It's not my cup of tea.

I've got this theory that half the DCU is in the middle of a breakdown, see Tim for the last 3 years, Dinah decking Ollie in JLU, Oracle in the Oracle mini, Ollie generally wanting to shoot everyone he sees. Cassie Sandsmark was going nuts and was very angry for a while but seems to have stabilised a bit now and Barry currently appears to be rather confused.

I'm hoping that at some point they'll all get over this and come back to a rather happier state of mind. They've managed to make Kara not crazed anymore so it is possible.

I agree with every single word you wrote about Red Robin. Tim used to be my second favorite Robin (Dick is and always will be my favorite) and now he's turned into a character that I can't like.

I miss Young Justice.

Only people with no souls don't miss Young Justice.

They're...squirrel people.

Honestly, I haven't been able to like Tim for a long time now. I'm not quite sure exactly when. Maybe when he forged his father's will and abandoned his stepmother in a mental institution after presumably stealing any portion of the inheritance that might have been hers? Maybe when he practically forgot Steph had ever existed? Certainly by the time he decided that Cass acting the complete opposite of the way she's always acted was perfectly normal "because she was always crazy and evil" and abandoned her.

I'll be quite glad to see Steph finally give up on him so she can move on to a relationship with someone who's not a jerkass.

Gotta put more money on my comic account...V.V link_of_courage July 13 2009, 04:15:29 UTC

Ok from what i gather Tim asked Steph to not wear the Costume/Uniform cause of the memories they brought back when he thought she was dead.

If my sister read teh same comics (Like i read teh comics (hasn't read that issue)) she'd say Tim's suffering from SRH.

However, after reading one of your passed posts on this new batgirl, i think i know who might be up for that "Cowl" now.
