was thinking here and honestly, i have no major issues with aging zatanna down like it happened in YJ. it happens a lot, alternate earth, those things that we already know from comics, and while YJ does a terrible job with her origins/powers it does wonderfully with her personality that is the most comic wise since... ever. i do, though, have a problem with the nerfing it happens with her all the time not only in that show but in the recent continuity and especially how she is sidelined in most of her stories or is written to be only a romantic interest to J.C even in her own narratives ( and ignoring some core values of her character only to make that relationship work ). that, to me, is the major problem with her characterization lately as well as some personality changes that do not make sense to me at all.
this is not even me disliking a ship, because i do ship it to the normal extent ( i don't dislike most of her ships, actually, and my preference changes according to the storyline or universe they are set in ). i just hate the stories written for them where zee forgives and forget things for J.C out of the blue even if it makes no sense or where he is the one constantly coming up to solutions to her problems instead of... her. that's why even though flawed i much prefer dini's run and earth 16 zatanna, where zee is on her own and developed and still her kind and fun self, to the somber, daddy issued, i can't hold back current zatanna that is most often defined by other characters choices/actions and especially not seen as the go-to magical character in the universe.
#✧・゚ ― metas & study ❫ i’m a spellaholic.#yup#i absolutely hate how when they tried to make her have her own stories they changed her whole personality for it#and nerfed her down and continued to make her dependant on everyone else#for all the intents and purposes YJ zee is herself#its weird seeing her younger? a bit but it works wonderfully and chalant is one of the best relantionship DC has given her in a long time#do i miss her with the older crew? yes#but also we do have the other continuities for that#and some runs where she's actually herself#not the post n52 where she seems like DC's attempt of their own jean grey#its so annoying honestly#everytime i open a zatanna story and i see J.C i groan and thats sad bc i loved them but its EVERYWHERE and its shoehorned even#if it makes no sense most of the time#like when she forgave him for letting her know her dad's fault was her own :/ and not his :/#anyway
