Roxy!

But once again, there is something that bugged me and it is Kaldur related.

It’s the ending for me and how the writers just kind of ignore all the shit that Kaldur endured and how….they don’t act like he can’t grieve or be a little fucked up after EVERYTHING.

Like we see Artemis grieve Wally and Dick steps down after the Invasion but they act as if Kaldur…would immediately go back to being a leader after all the horror he went through.

Despite the fact that Kaldur went through the most trauma as he:

Had to pretend to be a traitor and change his most fundamental personality to be a cold and heartless person.

Had to KILL one of his teammates and deal with so much shit because of it as I highly doubt he would be okay after faking killing Artemis. Which also made him more of target as a traitor and nearly got him killed by Cheshire and Sportsmaster.

Had his mind tore apart by M’Gann and for at least as few days, was stuck in an endless cycle of feeling alone and trapped the ruins of his mind with these thoughts to the point it wasn’t like he knew himself (like with the whole faceless Kaldur was genuinely heartbreaking to see).

Had to betray his father despite the fact that Black Manta cared deeply for his son and even Kaldur doesn’t see him taking his father out to be a mighty triumph (he literally gives his father a sad look when seeing him unconscious).

Most likely can’t go back to Atlantis after his crimes (I do know that he stands trail for his crimes during the time skip for season three and that’s how he meets Wyynde).

He doesn’t even get to have a moment with Aquaman and I really wanted that bc Kaldur needed another father figure in that moment after hurting Black Manta.

Like the list goes on and the writers just choose to have Kaldur…go back to being team leader and act like nothing’s wrong. We don’t see him grieve or explore the complex emotions of being undercover and having to hurt friends or others….there’s nothing.

There is literally a scene where they stop Black Manta and everyone is so happy to at least put a dent in the Light’s plans, but Kaldur immediately goes over his flaws and what he did wrong and hi that’s not normal. Kaldur would not be okay with anything that happened after and he shouldn’t.

I just…want Kaldur to feel something and not immediately get treated like shit for having negative emotions about what he did. Like I’m so sick of the black strong character that never lets things affect them for too long and act like everting is peachy.
