Finally getting around to reading recommended reading for Garth and I forgot how bad sidekicks could get the “treat them like Robin” in the 60’s and 70’s and the “make a female that is like totally into him who he doesn’t return affection for and the “everyone is horny, it’s the 90’s baby!,” cause he is getting hit with a lot of these. His personality changed based on the story being told and I really hate it.

#garth of shayeris #aqualad #tempest #tempest dc #I mean I’m not a huge Tula fan but I forgot how bad she is in comics #and I was not expecting Dolphin and Arthur and I feel as though I should have at this point #and Garth had every right to be mad at Arthur for trying to kill him in Death of a Prince but it just seemed to get glossed over #but then in Aquaman 94 they act like Batman and whichever Robin they wanted him to slap silly at the time #and it’s just so weird seeing this hot mess #and then Dolphin feels like she was just added to remind ppl that Arthur and Garth like AFAB characters #but then they realized that was a bad creative decision and gave her some stuff but kind of forgot to make it matter in a meaningful way #and his magical training aging him up just seemed meh to me #you already teased he is the most powerful postcognite #let him use that to learn his magic and that #but I will give Death of a Prince one kudos #could not believe they killed a 5 year old on panel and left him dead in the 70’s just kudos
