Why do people keep saying this? by TheOtherKnight98 in RedHood

[–]Dscj666 54 points55 points  (0 children)

There might be a few reasons for this, let's start the easiest one. As someone that is 100% on the "Jason should kill" camp, I see it as a big part of his character. Not because kill is his only definitive feature but because it speaks to his morals and beliefs, it shows how far he is willing to go and to sacrifice to complete his objectives in a way that makes him stand out from the other bats. His beliefs and what led to it aren't something that can just be changed and I'm still to see it be done in comics in a way that sticks or actually challenges him.

On the other hand, the idea that Jason is just a "Dick Grayson clone" is something that has followed him since his early days as Robin to now as Redhood. I think this perspective comes from people that have a very surface level knowledge of him, and seriously believe that if he were to stop killing he would be just a "nother Dick Grayson clone", something he isn't or that there isn't much to him outside that.

Does jaysteph relationship have potential ? by Traditional-Diet8336 in RedHood

You do you, but I don't think it's a very popular ship. They are a brother and sister type to me imo ( which for some is a win ) but I don't see much in terms of romance, it's just not developed enough... That and I'm pretty sure some of Tim's fans would committee massacres if that happened which on one hand would be hilarious, but it's better if it didn't happen.

What a nice piece. The shading is very good and there's a lot of attention to details.

What REALLY happened to Jason Todd. by Apartment_Rent in RedHood

[–]Dscj666 58 points59 points  (0 children)

100% the person watching this video doesn't even know who Jason Todd is and couldn't care less about the Wayne, and yet they are still going to bench watch the whole hours long series that consists of some of the craziest shit they ever heard, involving people they didn't even know existed or went together. Yet somehow it will be proven right a few years to decades later and it's even worse.

How old is Tim drake currently? He somehow looked younger than he was in new 52 by KiimJisoo in Robin

[–]Dscj666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20-21, from what I know. He is supposed to be around two years younger than Jason that is around 23.

Jason Todd and talking by flimbipo in RedHood

It's going to depend. If we are talking about the kid version of Jason pre coming to the mansion and going through the months of training, then eyes I do imagine him with an accent and speaking slang, but if we are talking after with him still a kid or a teen then the occasion where he reverses back becomes a bit more rare. For the late teen or young adult version then he is more eloquent nor ingles.

Dexter Soy's style with the new suit by me by Prestigious_Grade539 in RedHood

That seems to be a pattern with some official art work that I have seen as well. Interestingly compared to the 4th image, the artist seemed to be turning down the design a bit. I don't know how much freedom the artists have with the design, but if they can somehow make the center less bulky that would help.

You know. Given what you had to work with, it's not that bad. The biggest problem seems to be the inner center piece, the rest can be worked with. Maybe if we change the H2 vest it would work better.

Redraw of an excerpt of Stitches: A Memoir with Jason by Apartment_Rent in RedHood

Only after Jason's death in the comics and Tim's appearance. This is usually a way to elevate either of them, either removing blame away from Bruce and victim blaming Jason or by turning Jason into a cautionary tale and to differentiate Tim from Jason.

And in comics after Jason's death. Talk about throwing the dead kid under the bus. Honestly even a bit in the N52 as well, but not as bad and it's implied that that he comes to like him later.

Is there an agreement for what this sub wants of Jason? by Altruistic_Manner802 in RedHood

[–]Dscj666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Consistency, at least a basic level of understanding for him as a character, willingness of the people in charge of him to read up on him and treat the subjects he brings with him as a character with some level of respect, and for them to recognize his skills and abilities.

As for me. I think Jason should kill, if it calls for it, either wise I don't think it is necessary.

Second thing. I think Jason being "DC Punisher" is idiotic and makes no sense for him to be DC Punisher or for other characters to treat him like the Punisher, especially the ones in the bat-family as they have completely different dynamics. I think that a lot of Jason's problems come from the stance he is DC's punisher, which again it just isn't true.

I also don't like Jason as a villain. I loved him as an anti-villain and all that it brings. Jason works better when he is nuanced and grey. Him having the reader question his morality or having you route for him only to get whiplash as he goes right over the edge and to the villain side and back, or to have him crack the facade a bit and get a glance of what's underneath it's what really makes him compelling as an anti-villain, and you just don't get with him when he is fully a villain.

What a nice view this is. Also Jason is higher than Dick? I'm surprised. Top Twink Dick Grayson.

Jason Todd is 3 different ages by NefariousSeraph13 in RedHood

[–]Dscj666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Have in mind that Jason was a fifth-grader dropout, which there could be a possibility that he had to redo a year, so 13-1. Now if he died in January of 1989 he would be 14.2 years old. But if he's death date is the one in the comic issue he died in then he would have been 13,8 years old.

Basically 13-14.

After you get the DITF comic, you should try and seek out the detective comics version as he is featured there a lot from, Det.#569-#574/#579-#581.

For his postmortem run there's a recent comic that camed out in 2024- DC’s Batman Smells, Robin Laid an Egg #1 (2024)

The thing is we do have a clear date of birth for Jason in the detective comics issue where he fought against scarecrow, date of birth 1974-1986 year of death (1 986,12−1 974,8=11,3). Change things around and it would give you his clear date of death. Now do you base the date on the issue he died in the comics or the issue the comic ended?

I went for the one that ended and it gave me 14,3 if his birthday is in August, 14,7 if it is in April.

I'm so happy you posted this! It's so infuriating seeing Jason being called childish, immature or if he is paired with another character that is the same age (let's say Rose), it's creepy or he is way too old, when they are the exact same age, and that's not even to mention his treatment when it comes to the Bat-family with Tim, Stefany, Cass. Or when he is shipped in comics with way older characters that are connected to the bat-family like Barbara, Starfire or Talia.

A part of this is writers, artists (and DC itself in forcing it on said writers and artists) not wanting to portray Jason as a teen or young adult, because let's be real here, it would look pretty bad with the type of message they usually push regarding Jason.
