teen titans #1 + Jason
real hot take here but I really hope Jason isn't just the main focus of the new issues because currently people are making it seem like this is a Jason run and not a teen titan run. like Jay is one of my all time favorite characters dont get me wrong but like im so excited to get to see new characters and I hope there's actual new tropes and it's not just a 'lets shit on the old teen titans' or be an exact replica of the dynamics. with a complete fresh set of characters there's so much that can be done.
I feel like all the discourse abt it at this point is all about Jason, people are either wanting only jay media or getting pissed he's here at all? I am always in favor of more Jason media, but when im discussing people who are here for the run it's talking about the fact that 'yay we get more Jason and let's completely ignore the other characters' and getting very very angry over any detail about Jason (twitter was having some debates w/ the Jason stans from what I could tell). On the other hand, there's the Jason haters who are completely against Jason and want the whole run to flop just so they dont have to see Jason. I saw one post talking about him being rly unstable and a bad character and how the 'woke side' wants to make him nicer so no one should read it????? I know part of this is that all the other characters we don't really have a lot of details to actually discuss, but holy shit why is it only Jay??? Obvi he's a highly important part of the run, he's the one teaching them but why are we harassing the creators and other people over him in this run specifically???? Can we not just be excited to see Nika and Lian again and get to see both girls get some attention rather than just be someone else's plot driver? and the boys are almost completely new. crap can't we just be happy for that??? when i did mention it to some people on discord i had people tell me that the new characters arent the point of the run??? also had people completely invalidating characters for the sake of Jason??? like I love him but can we just let the run exist before everyone (including me, im just as guilty) tears it to shreds
