I've always found the: "Jason was to die at age fifteen no matter what." deeply interesting in that sense of: "What would Jason choose?" like... was it worth it? Were those few years he spent with Bruce worth a horrible death?
Also, when you put it next to a Jason that grows up into adulthood... you still put it into a balance. We know, textually know, that those few years were Jason and Bruce were together as father and son are deeply precious to both of them so would it be worth it? Would it be worth it to live and having never experienced them? Guess it's the same question as if Jason was to die no matter what... was meeting Bruce worth all the pain that would become?
was the love worth it….
#Personally I’ve never thought of Jason as someone who always doomed because that idea was only applied retroactively after his death#he wasn’t written originally with that intention. He wasn’t doomed by the narrative he was doomed by the reader poll#and then retroactively doomed by the narrative. But in another timeline he could’ve made it. Ooh that’s meta#Jason Todd#dc#asks
