Something I was Batman fans to Understand is that Jason ACTS Angry when he's Scared. It's a trauma response from the streets. If he showed he was scared he would've been dead.
When Jason is Angry though. If he's truly angry, and we see this throughout UTRH and Lost Days, If he's angry, he steeps in it.
Come closer.
He's not a Bull when he's angry, he's calculated when he's angry.
He's a Bull when he's scared. He's Angry when he's Scared.
Obviously some comics aren't going to show that, because of how many writers there've been and favorite characters and such, but 'Death in the Family' and the last pannel of 'The Diplomat's son' is a good representation of Angry when Scared. 'Lost Days' is AMAZING with the angry when scared because when Talia shows him that he's been replaced, he's apathetic, and then goes to another room and starts crying. When he learns the Joker's still alive he starts trashing the room
Under the Red Hood is Jason's prime example of calculating while Angry, BECAUSE THAT ENTIRE PLAN!!! It was very well thought out and very well executed up until the final confrontation.
Robin!Jason not letting Alfred or Bruce see how upset he was that His father died is a perfect mix of both, because grief is a fickle thing.
ALSO! LETS SAY THIS TOGETHER
PIT MADNESS IS NOT REAL
there are a lot of comics tho where I think the writers either hated Jason or didn't know what to do with him, so don't bring those up.
when Robotomy first aired in 2010 I actually caught it on tv and I laughed out loud at the delivery of this line but it's even funnier now that it's been 14 years and what they're ridiculing only got worse. It got worse all 14 of them.
In TES, we say, "I do what I must do. I cannot stay to rebuild Tamriel. That task falls to others. Farewell. You've been a good friend, in the short time that I've known you. But now I must go. The Dragon waits."
The first time Peach uses Come Back to revive Geno, he is absolutely floored. How is she tapping into star magic? Especially when the Star Road is broken? And how is she doing it this expertly? He can't even use it this way.
Plus, to him specifically, it feels so much better than a Pick-Me-Up. When the doll's senses are knocked into next week, the star inside is still perfectly conscious, just kind of stuck in a void. This means he's also fully aware at the moment of revival, which - via a Pick-Me-Up - feels every bit as disorienting as when he first possessed the doll, plus he's not in control of the timing. Every single time. He deals with it.
But this? This is transcendent. Even in the blank darkness he's stuck in, he can see the star come down. It gently tells him it's time to come back, and politely leads the way there. There's never time for a conversation, but often, he knows its name.
During their adventure to restore the Star Road, Geno probably doesn't tell the rest of party this. After all, the result is functionally the same, and he doesn't want them to use resources non-ideally just so he can be a little more comfortable. But every time a star deposits him back onto the battlefield in Peach's arms, he thanks every celestial authority he can name for the opportunity to know a person like this - and marvels a little more at just how much of her potential she has yet to discover.
