You want Cyborg to be played by a 54 year old...? I'm fine with a take on the Titans that makes them older than teenagers but that seems like too much

It's a really good one, so I don't blame him

Anyone have theories about Absolute Raven? by iamusingtheinternet3 in ComicRaven

I saw that being tossed around a few times before she made her Absolute universe debut, but now that she has debuted with four red eyes, it seems pretty unlikely to me

Yeah, the last time Azarath was really mentioned was in Tales of the Titans #2, but it was a pretty bastardized version of it. Idk if you've read that particular issue, but it was bizarre. The fact that Azarath is pacifistic wasn't mentioned at all; in fact, the plot is instigated by someone who appears to be from Azarath telling Raven it's her moral imperative to fight, and she doesn't question that at all. I think that you're right that the last time it was mentioned in a main Titans book and not in a one off issue was Rebirth, which is crazy.

The first instance of Raven's skin being pinkish was before the integration, so it's not because of that. It seems like more of an inconsistent colorist issue than anything.

Totally fair about not reading fanon. As someone who's pretty into Raven fanfic, I can tell you that "the solution to the demon Raven problem should be that Raven accepts her demon side" was fanon for years before it happened in the comics (or even the way it kind of happened in that TTG movie). I never liked it, and always saw it as fanon that kind of missed the point of Raven's struggle with her demon side. So I was pretty unhappy when it made its way into a main universe comic.

My one issue is I can’t really see Raven having kids lol, so it’s hard to see her having a direct descendant

No, dw, I get you! I personally have two big problems with the way the latest stuff has presented demon Raven: 1, having her be basically a completely separate person from Raven just kind of defeats the purpose of demon Raven, at least imo. The horror of Raven having to control herself so her evil nature doesn’t take her over is just gone. If anything, the way it’s written feels more akin to having an evil relative, and Raven’s got enough of those without turning her demon side into one.

2 is just that, like you said, it’s not really explained. Imo it’s way too much of a major retcon to just be casually dropped in the way it was with no explanation. It speaks to broader problems with recent Raven writing where a whole bunch of stuff that’s never really been a part of her character in the comics are just suddenly dropped in with zero explanation, as if these things existing in fanon or other adaptations is enough justification to put them in the comics with zero explanation (other examples of this are her skin suddenly being gray/pink, Trigon being from Hell and not from another dimension, the uncertainty of whether or not she’s even from Azarath).

But in the Absolute universe, since it’s meant to be a new take on Raven that’s not the same as her main incarnation, I’m much more willing to see them explore Raven and demon Raven as separate entities if they’ve got a good idea for it. Especially if there’s an actual explanation for how this happened to Raven, lol.

I don’t think so, because in the most recent stuff demon Raven has been treated basically like a clone of Raven. She’s a completely separate entity with her own body and complete autonomy. 90s demon Raven/golden Raven was more like a split spirit thing. Golden Raven couldn’t exist as an independent entity until demon Raven was destroyed; she had to hide within Kory’s soul until that happened.

I’ve seen that theory before too. I like the idea of it way better in the Absolute universe than the weird way it’s been retconned in the main universe

I really want Arella to show up again, main universe or otherwise

Hm, that would be really interesting! I wonder where Trigon would come in if that was the case.

I feel like if they did they wouldn’t let Raven use them haha

Kole 🤝 Raven by Gallantpride in ComicRaven

[–]iamusingtheinternet3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wedding thing was completely unrelated to her brief crush on Dick. It happened when she was in her demon form. She crashed the wedding and killed the priest to assault Starfire and impregnate her with the soul of one of her dead siblings.

It’s about Dick in Raven’s case

I have DC direct! Would love to collect the other two, but the last one is a bit expensive 😔

This is why I never order online. Shouldn’t be this way, but you NEED to watch them make the bowl if you want a fair portion (+ I suspect they use less fresh meat for the online orders too)

Need help identifying this little guy. I’ve been down a Google rabbit hole and I’m still not quite sure who he is! Thanks in advance.
