Now, I’m Not Saying Romantic Relationships Are Inferior, Or That They’re Useless, Or That You Being

Remember the scene/option where Andy gets to use hair spray and a lighter to fight off the spiders? Yeah :)

There was a little interview with George Perez where he said he liked how Garth was sexy and Mediterranean looking, and showed off his muscular legs. This was an interview from the 80s I found, but lost 😩 like he PURPOSELY drew Garth sexy.... whew.

TitansTower used to have it, looks like the site is no longer up! It's an interview of George Perez by Andy Mangels in 1987

Lucky for YOU, I saved that part! He doesn't just say he's Mediterranean, he also says he based Garth's looks off of an ex-girlfriend.

Garth is the prettiest of the OGs confirmed.

I do like that he leaned into the curly hair (he's had that since the Silver Age tbh) because it really did make his character stand out when they aren't in costumes. I know pretty much every comic character lost their curly hair by the 90s, but I really miss Garth's

forest is entirely to blame for this

Remember that time in season 3 where Tecna died and everyone was like, "It's not Winx Club without Tecna! We should disband the group" ...Yeah

Can you tell us about Garth’s personality? Like what do you wish writers would remember and do or stop doing for him?

Absolutely! I'll try to keep it short... Generally speaking, Garth is very sensitive and open about his emotions. All of his character development revolves around love and loss, and the merging of the two.

As Aqualad, he's more timid and more self conscious, but he has a strong sense of justice and a very strong sense of loyalty as well. His role as Tempest is distinctly marked with him having a major confidence boost, so he speaks his mind more as he gets older and takes on more leadership roles, which he is really suited for because he's (mostly!) level-headed. When he's not being level-headed, it's because he's super passionate about something (usually love related, again)

He doesn't really have a dominant personality, which is why he's a really good supporting cast member. He's not a very serious character, so he can either bring light to a stoic character or bring more chaotic characters back down to Earth. the range!

What I really like about him is Garth is truly, genuinely, nice. He's someone who isn't afraid to join a fight, but also understands that words can be more powerful and violence is not always the right answer. He also specifically doesn't want to kill anyone. He gains his magic powers specifically because his heart is pure and free from spite or malice, and is able to overcome villains because of that love and kindness inside him.

Not to be negative, but I hate everything about his current characterization. Just throw the whole man out tbh. I find him really flat and uninteresting, and I can't even blame it totally on the writers not having any of the previous backstory and development to build off of. I think they just don't care.

Current Garth seems very aggressive and enthusiastic to fight, but also...idk, just very generic otherwise. which is not only boring (oh wow, the strong guy wants to punch things. original!) but really out of character based on previous canon. It just feels uninspired. Also I'm a little offended that not a single person involved in those comics bothered to look up what he was supposed to look like ghdskjghdfj

Also Garth/Atlanteans in general being pretentious is annoying. I think that comes from the Teen Titans show (where he is specifically written to be Beast Boy's foil, so he comes off as very cool and level-headed because Beast Boy is....not that) and then nobody bothered to do anything else for some reason.

The writers have to remember that Garth's strength (literally and figuratively) come from his heart, not his muscles, and that if you want to write a character who is defined by his love, you have to actually develop those stories about love.

Why Warner Brothers why do you want to change Omi Gaunt's eyes???

Sorry I cannot English at this point in time as I can't get over this. But I need to vent it all out.

Ok, so I will first acknowledge that maybe I have the mind of a boomer and the nitpicky spirit of a Karen, and of course I respect everyone who holds an opposite view, BUT pure aesthetic preference aside:

1) Consider the feeling you had when you first had a one-on-one dialogue with Omi. There was meant to be that slightly "off" feeling about him in the way he was not looking at you. And this is later supplemented with info from Seb that he is blind. Gone.

2) It was a good lead-in and cue to the fact that the Gaunts are massively inbred, and have all sorts of genetic diseases. Gone.

3) It was a good constant visual reminder of the blend of melancholy and "being treated by others differently" that Omi represents. A bit like a tragic Greek hero. Gone.

Not sure why WB wants to fix what is not broken, especially given the fact that the Switch has less horse power capacity. How do you expect me to believe in the invisible guiding hand of capitalism at this rate.

🏳️‍🌈 for dan pierce and/or noah marshall, either works ^^

Have drawn Noah with Pride flags before, so Dan it is! I headcanon that he is Gay, because why not
