happy birthday to my fav cringefail loser boy wonder <3
Some people are pointing out how out-of-touch Waid seems to be about social media in the new World's Finest: Teen Titans, but I would argue he’s not going far enough. This comic should be the spiritual successor to Bob "Leaping Lumpfish/Cool it Cats" Haney but for gen Z.
Here are some corrections I made to the first issue to make it more faithful to the original.
"They're saying weird and cringe stuff" THEY ARE FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS IN TIGHTS. I've never met a 14 yr old who doesn't say weird and cringe stuff, let alone one in tights. That's just what that stage of life is.
Also these guys were straight up insane in the og comics. "Suffering Saphos", "Flasheroo", "Heebie-jeebies", "Robin-Bobin", whatever the fuck secret language Dick and Wally had, ect.
So this is accurate to the lore. The Teen Titans being weird and cringe is a canon event.
crying. screaming. throwing up.
kamala literally died, what, a bit over a month ago? her funeral was 2 days ago. and they’re already announcing a new series.
where, yes, she is now a mutant because they want to match the mcu.
the comic is being written by sabir pirzada, a writer on the ms marvel show, and iman vellani, who plays kamala.
i really don’t have high hopes for this new page for kamala. I hate that they’re doing this to her, I hate that the mcu continues to affect the comics like this. if there’s any sliver of hope I have, it’s because of iman vellani’s passion and dedication to the character.
here’s the EW article. scream abt it with me.
the moral of nimona is that the government sucks and weird little trans girls should be allowed to kill anyone who wrongs them
part of my nimona viewing experience. idk why but i got super emotional in the first five minutes.

[ID: A comic juxtaposing screenshots from Nimona 2023 and drawings of a person watching the movie. The first screenshot is Ambrosius's introduction; he grins at the camera as the news anchors introduce him, his name in big print on the screen. The person watching thinks with a bored expression, "Ah. Ok. This guy is gonna be the jackass. Typical golden-boy stuck-up prince that thinks he's better than the underdog. I see where this is going.
The next screenshot is of Ambrosius and Ballister on the platform above the arena, Ambrosius doing his news anchor bit and saying, "Aaand will Ballister be broody on the biggest day of his life?" Ballister laughs at his antics. The person watching now has a small smile, as they think, "Huh! Aw, they're actually nice to each other and are friends! I wasn't expecting that, that's nice-"
The third and final screenshot is a shot from behind of Ballister leaning his head on Ambrosius's shoulder. The caption reads "the knighting ceremony is just moments away." The person watching now has a touched, soft expression, like they're holding back tears. They think "OH." as a partially transparent doodle behind them bends over crying and blubbering, with another doodle showing their heart shot through with an arrow. /end ID]
