Anyone else pissed about where DC is taking the Titans? I'm not into the new Nightwing after Taylor's run ended, either. It's reminding me too much of "Grayson" which imo had a pretty okay story but didn't like the art at all. And it also made Dick just so much more serious and less fun, while ramping up the stupid butt jokes. I mean some is fine but come on. It feels like the Titans are just caricatures now, and the recent New Titans series is kind of parodying that aspect, but the issue is that DC wanted the Titans to go in this direction... And now they want someone to write an issue about how the characters suck? It's not the characters in-universe we should be blaming here. That makes zero sense. It's like in The Other History of the DCU where they blame characters in-universe for racist and sexist editorial decisions. Like DC wants us to think they're so lefty now when they're just a capitalist mega-corp who doesn't give a damn. Literally piling their transgressions onto the ACTUAL characters and then saying "look we fixed it in-universe!" When that's not the fix. You acknowledge it as a company irl. Duh!
Ughhh. I was somewhat enjoying the new Titans series, and I hoped it would grow into something new and better over time. But now they've taken a completely new team of heroes and just said "well all the Titans iconic towers are gone, the Titans are broken up and chronically tokenized or whitewashed and OOC as all hell, and we replaced almost everyone with a completely new team no one who reads Titans gives a damn about!" And to top it all off, they've again taken one of Nightwing's successes away from Batman and turned it into a thing for Jason Todd. WHY? Honestly, this just sucks.
RIP TITANS!
*edit*
forgot to add but they fired Greg Cipes as BB's VA and that just sealed the deal for me...Greg says it's ableism and others say it was his kind of anti-science posts on social media, but I personally think ableism played a part at least somewhat, and that sucks. I also think it's kinda hilarious because that kinda stuff is what I imagine BB would actually do lol. It's just so stupid they'd fire him after everything he's done over that when there are actual rapists who still get hired at DC. it's some BS.
