I will never recover from this panel in Titans: Beast World Tour - Star City, which is at least 20 years overdue.
Of course, the obvious text of this story is "Ollie is loud and stubborn and tends to steamroll over everyone without thinking."
And the obvious subtext is "Connor is gearing up to tell Ollie he's ace and he's looking to feel safe to do so."
But to me it also carries the weight of everything that happened since Ollie came back:
Connor was regularly sidelined throughout the entire 2001 Green Arrow run or existed only to provide Wise Support to Ollie and Mia, never to have a storyline of his own. I think Kevin Smith and Judd Winick are both great Ollie and Roy writers but they had no idea what to do with Connor and it shows.
When Connor did play a major role, it was as object and/or victim, not subject (he gets shot, he gets shot again, we learn Ollie knowingly abandoned him at birth, etc.).
His interiority is entirely lost (outside of Dragon's Blood, which is...a whole 'nother can of worms). We get tons of POV from Ollie, some from Roy and Mia. I don't think we ever get it from Connor.
He's written out of the book for long passages, like when he stays on the island while Ollie returns to Star City.
Once he's in the coma, he's reduced once again to an object: a prop for Ollie and other characters to worry about and fight over, but not a person who can make choices. He's not a person, he's a football.
When he wakes up, he's being controlled by Dr. Sivana.
Then his personality is wiped.
Then he's erased from continuity.
When he's finally brought back a decade later, it's in the thrall of other supervillains.
So yeah, I'll bet Connor doesn't always feel heard. He hasn't had true agency since 2001.
