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.

dc using the word situationship to refer to donna and garth was NOT on my 2023 bingo card.....

Whilst I am enjoying the new teen titans, I do have to groan whenever Donna and Garth being in a relationship is brought up, it just seems so unnecessary, especially when Roy and Donna have actually dated before

World's Finest:Teen Titans #6

When you think you've gotten out of a Father-Son Bonding Moment

I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I LOST MY SHIT AT THIS MOMENT. It's the most emotionally constipated backhand compliment and paranoid control freak showing his love thing I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. He's friends with Barry, Arthur, Diana, Ollie, that means something for Batman to say that, but then he'll turn right around and say, "But I don't trust their judgement for shit when it comes to my kid, who by the way, is clearly the best trained out of all you, because he's the best period, and I'm not risking my precious son on your dumb sidekicks." HELP PLEASE HE'S THE WORST AND THE BEST HE LOVES HIS KID IN THE WORST POSSIBLE AND MOST HILARIOUS WAY

Aw, no. No, sweetie, no.

Garth. Baby boy. You are so stupid. Incredibly sweet but stupid. I can guarantee you that Roy would be better with an absentee Oliver Queen then he would be with RUDY AND MARY WEST.

Whooooo boy. This isn't- this isn't even, like, a writer just not knowing Wally's lore or whatever, this is MARK FUCKING WAID writing this. Do you comprehend what that means?? DO YOU?!?

That man in that kitchen is two seconds away at all times from going full Ted Bundy. I'm not even fucking joking. It is so insane how much I am not joking.

Wally's father is dangerous. He ran a work camp for children and planned on using land mines on them! He sold his son to a death cult!!! He hired a hitman to kill his wife!!!!!

But he's also really fucking good at playing the part of the 'normal suburban Dad' and that's what Waid is showing REALLY FUCKING WELL HERE. Rudy is playing his part and he's playing it well. Don't think I didn't notice Rudy dropping the coffee pot in front of Wally and fucking smirking when it 'magically' popped back up on the counter. This is a man who knows about his son's powers and is playing along. This man is a problem.

And I'm super excited to see how Waid plans for this story to progress.
