I realize that this was initially retconned in the new 52, but I just assumed that now that we are out of the new 52 the ntt backrounds would be canon again for Kory… instead I have to sit into 3 pages that completely invalidate some of Korys core themes for what?!? Why can’t we be free of Lodells retcons!?!?
WHAT R U DOING?!? Kory and Koms relationship is interesting because inherently doomed to happen, created by factors beyond their control. Kom, born hated, was pushed into being the Tamaranian equivalent of “child that was not embraced by the village grows up to want to burn it down”. Kory, born heir apparent, takes Koms throne. How are you supposed to come to terms with being hated by your parents and your people as a young child?!? She takes it out on Kory as she seems the only acceptable target but it only makes her only more hated by her own sister. It was an inevitable self propagating cycle… Making them always co-rulers changes the entire narrative!!
They created sibling rivalries do you even care?!!?!??
The tragedy of they being they only two who can understand what each other went through but they will never be able to at the same time.
Kom being the only character who on panel tells Kory what she needs to hear - that Korys parents pretend to sacrifice when it’s Kory who is being sacrificed! All they have done in exchange for her undying loyalty was sell her to slavery and then exchange her for a political marriage - both arguably having other solutions that would have only required more bravery or political sacrifice (said by character explicitly on panel!)
Kom - older and more experienced is the only one who can recognize just how much their parents fucked them up. But Kory can’t because her parents being correct is the only way she can justify the years she spend in slavery. To bring the cycle full circle Kom becomes Korys only acceptable target
Kom couldn’t blame her parents. Kory still can’t. Myand’r and Luand’r lurk large in the life of their childen…
The parents who… are dead?!?
You are going to take the Fucked Up Parents away from girl in the Fucked Up Parents team?!? DO YOU EVEN CARE??
You don’t need to kill Korys parents to have things in common with Dick? You can parallel their needs to do their duty for their parents sometimes against their own well-being!! You want to talk more parellels? Korys backstory is packed with parellels to the other titans!
What happends to both Kory and Joey having parents who hurt them, and instead of ever apologizing always double down on how hurting them is the only and best option?? What happens to Korys seeing herself when Raven exchanging herself so trigon will leave earth alone!?
GIVE HER HER PARALLELS BACK HER THEMES!!!

Thinking about how Kory was around for MULTIPLE DAYS before she kissed Dick to learn English. Like. She was literally just hanging out didn’t know a damn thing any of them were saying not worried about it in the slightest. Happily going along with whatever they were doing chatting At them in Tamaranean knowing they didn’t understand a word either. Definition of chilling 😭

anyways here are my fave comic panels that i have screenshotted on my laptop
bane of the demon

flash vol 2 #25
i love lois lane because she’s so mean. i love mean women.
flash vol 2 #195
flash’s rogues are basically having slumber parties and braiding each other’s hair while planning out their crimes
titans vol 1 #13
jesse was sooooo real for this one
blue beetle vol 7 #5
it’s a damn shame this line didn’t make it into the movie
justice league international #4
a very interesting choice of words on bruce’s part. how this dialogue didn’t spark at least a few fanfics is beyond me.
new teen titans vol 1 #34

flash vol 2 #4
pls refer to my pinned post about 80s comics and their cold war propaganda
