#And Ronnie basically breaks down how the villain they are fighting works and easily takes him out WITHOUT KILLING

Alright, so. I've finally been able to fully read through all of Firestorms stuff up until new 52, and I am currently reading through that- THAT series is going to be another post for another day.

But rn I kinda wanna talk about my biggest problem with Jason's time as Firestorm.

And it all starts with Ronnie and Prof Stein. In one of the later issues of his run, when Ronnie and Martin were at the College, there is an entire arch about how they need to trust each other and not force the Firestorm transformation, because its like taking someone elses body and using it. They need to rebuild their trust, and they only become Firestorm is Prof Stein says so, or if someone will die otherwise if Ronnie doesn't act. (Ronnie also saves Cliff's life during this time) Long story short, the two of them set boundaries and try and work together again.

IN JASONS TIME- He just takes people, They wont remember anyways, he just body snatches left and right! HE HAS GOTTEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE KILLED DOING THIS- And like, he never learns! He NEVER talks to anyone about this and it's never mentioned! Random homeless person on the street? MINE- Oh He's annoying? Drops him to find someone else. Even people begging him to let them go he just doesn't!

THEN As the story goes on, Ronnie's friends find Jason and offer him help! First Firehawk, who awakens a piece of Ronnie still left in the firestorm Matrix (Or something) but he sacrifices himself so Cliff (Who became evil) doesn't go and hunt down Jason and Ronnie's families, Then Professor Stein, who gives up immortality and the secrets of the universe to help Jason, and lastly Mikhail who is here to try and help as well! And you know what? This picture right here should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about Jason's era-

Everyone trying to work together, but Jason is off to the side sulking because he wants to do this alone. But gosh darn it Jason, Firestorm is a TEAM.

Side note, I still enjoyed Jasons era, it was fun and there were a few really good ideas there, it's just the body snatching and refusal to work as a team that gets me. (There's probably more, but like there's good stuff here)
