Teen Titans!

(For that matter, why isn’t Donna Troy in these TV versions of the Titans?)

teenagers fucking divorced middle-aged professors not as heartwarming a plotline in 2018

tv series does often crack me up, and i never will not enjoy the stupid perseverativity (?) of painbot. i mean...all it know is pain.

oh god terry long xp

the horror

Got really into the original cartoon about 10 years ago. So watched the new film a couple of days ago. Some of it was quite amusing.
Thought it was aiming for some of the same humour as the Lego animations I've seen .

I just looked up the history of Donna Troy origins/retcons; what a f'ing mess.

Can never understand why comics are hard to get into for new readers:

Donna Troy has now discovered that like every other person after the Crisis on Infinite Earths, she is a merger of every alternate version of Donna Troy in the Multiverse. Unlike everyone else, Donna is the repository of knowledge of every alternate universe version of herself and remembers the original Multiverse.

comics are easy to get into for new readers, Raina's two new books have first print runs of 500k and 1mm

Raina?

Telgemeier.

Can never understand why SHITTY comics are hard to get into for new readers

fixed

my kids don't have any trouble grasping comics. continuity is for morons.

(In 2016 - the last time she had a new release - 21,000 comic titles were sold through bookstores. 5% of all dollars exchanged were for Telgemeier books: the #1, #2, #4 and #5 bestsellers for the year were her own work, and #6, #7, #10 and #11 were work-for-hire by her. As most of her work (and all of these books) is on Graphix, those figures are only a small minority of her overall sales to readers.)

my daughter loves her stuff

That's cool, but do any of her characters have backgrounds like this?:

After Donna Troy is killed by a fleet of Superman androids reprogrammed by Brainiac, she is resurrected by the Titans of Myth, who seek to exploit her status as an "anomaly" from the world that existed before Crisis on Infinite Earths to escape the coming cataclysm of Infinite Crisis. This story establishes Donna's status as an anomaly of the timeline, explaining that she survived the Crisis and was later subjected to multiple alternate origins as the universe tried to fit her into the new timeline created following the collapse of the Multiverse. This makes Donna in effect "a living key to the lost Multiverse." This same storyline also reveals that Dark Angel is an evil alternate universe version of Donna from Earth-Seven. Another pre-Crisis survivor, she "was saved by the Anti-Monitor, and raised to be his harbinger of doom, Dark Angel. But Dark Angel was uncontrollable, and vanished."

Within a short time after 2011's The New 52 reboot that followed the Flashpoint story, DC had already presented two conflicting new origins for Donna Troy in the pages of Wonder Woman and Titans Hunt. In the first case, she is introduced as a new character: magical golem, ruthless warrior, and challenger to Wonder Woman's status as leader of the Amazons. She later goes on a journey of discovery. In Titans Hunt, this same Donna, alongside other former Teen Titans, rediscovers memories of childhood heroism with the Teen Titans, which should be impossible for her. In the DC Rebirth relaunch, Donna has a fuller set of childhood memories restored to her after meeting the pre-Flashpoint Wally West. In the DC Rebirth relaunch of Wonder Woman, the storyline "The Lies" reveals that the savage depiction of Thymiscira and the Amazons in the New 52 Wonder Woman series in which Diana is made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War and has Donna Troy reinvented as a mass-murdering villain is, in fact, an illusion by the Olympians to keep her away from the real island. A later Titans story clarified that Donna is still a magical golem created to destroy Wonder Woman, with fake memories granted by the Amazons.

they're mostly about tween girls, maybe she'll get around to that in future volumes
