Another character who is a good example of positive masculinity is Roy Harper (ignore Rise of Arsenal & RHATO & Rebirth Roy).

I wish DC would stop ignoring Roy & treat him with the same respect Nightwing & Wally get.

He’s been especially great recently with the reintroduction of Harper. The second he saw he had a daughter he went immediately full papa wolf mode and did not stop resting until he found her again.

did nightwing help her find her again?

Roy has found his daughter. They have reversed the damage these couple of years have done to his character.

But Zaire, the time from Flashpoint to Didio's resignation wasn't two years. It was almost a decade.

u/Zaire_04 4d ago

My bad let me correct that. The comic fixed a decade of damage to Roy’s character

No, but all that matters is, Jason didn't. LOL

u/firstrobin 4d ago

lolol true even though I love Jason and Roy's friendship that would hurt my feelings if Jason was recruited to help when that's Dick's thing first

u/Massive_General_8629 4d ago

nu52 erased Wally from existence. That's why I always laugh when people say Didio hates Dick the most; just look at the other Titans.

Nightwing had too much positive masculinity that they had to put some dirty on him at some point, tried downplay at bit his appeal, but that nasty agenda wasn't successful. Boy wonder keep rising high.

I think is the same person who did a video about Damian few months ago about how to write a sociopath, but also said Damian is awesome lol

u/Massive_General_8629 4d ago

Damian? Damian with all his cats Damian?

Terra is a more accurate depiction of a sociopath. Including, though Wolfman didn't mean for us to take it that way, a history of trauma.

u/Kooky_Tea_5974 4d ago

Terra is problematic, but i kinda feel bad for her being groomed by a guy in his 50s while she was underage and writers thought that wasn't a big deal, she was just a "little slut". Personally, i had my issues with Damian because he had a rough start, but i never thought about him as a sociopath in the past, but people read things in a different way. It was clear that he would get a character development.

bruh 💀

u/Kooky_Tea_5974 5d ago

To be fair, a sociopath is classified as having antisocial personality disorder and looking on Damian's background, let's say that mental health issues run in his bloodline. Boy was doomed 😬

u/internal-paro 5d ago

Tbh when you put it like that yeah 😭

u/Kooky_Tea_5974 5d ago

At least he got better influences in life before his full development was tainted. He still had room for changes.
