Why does everyone want Jason to respond to his trauma “healthily”? 1, who gets to decide what’s “healthy”? Just because something isn’t relatable to you, a real person who is not and never has been a vigilante or died and been resurrected, doesn’t mean it’s “bad writing.” Everything Jason has ever done has been a reaction to what he’s been through, everything he’s been through has informed who he is now. 2, that is so boring, the Bats are all a bunch of maladaptive coping mechanisms in a metaphorical trench coat, that’s what’s interesting about them!

#dc #jason todd #red hood #batfamily #batfam #batman #dc comics #i respect that people see themselves in that wfa episode but i don’t see jason #not really #everyone calling it ‘realistic’ and praising the ‘hurt/comfort’ and i’m just #i’m just not feeling it #it doesn’t feel like jason it feels like generic fanfic fanfare #ALSO a significant part of jason’s trauma wasn’t the actual act of being killed and then resurrected #it was the reaction to his death! the lack of it!#it was the joker still being alive! the world moving on without him! being forgotten! his death not changing anything!#it was bruce not avenging him! betraying him! erasing him from the manor! taking on a new robin not even 6 months later!#reducing his memory to a cautionary tale and a glass case monument to BRUCE’S ‘failure’#why would he go to bruce for comfort? he would never #wfa is an inherently fluffier more lighthearted wholesome universe with good dad bruce and i get that there’s nothing wrong with that #it just doesn’t sit right with me #and just. all those people going ‘this is what the comics should be like!’ … i don’t want that
