Bendis has used the "I should have done this YEARS ago" thing at least three times by this point.

Oh yeah, that's his too.

I think it's just supposed to be a short exhale. Not quite a sigh, but like a short sound of annoyance. He also had Damien do "tt." which I interpret as a quiet "tsk" sound.

I'm fairly certain their have been one or two who have resented their legacies, since having the legacy square off against the original happens fairly often. There's some that don't quite resent them but don't like the idea of somebody risking their necks to do what they used to be able to do themselves as well.

In a way short of Dick each Robin has had a bit of grief with the younger ones. Though since it's not exactly their position to have or give it's not like they can do much about it.

Bendis also has a tendency to have characters say "I don't know who that is", with those exact words. Characters will be ignorant of who a character Bendis doesn't care about is, even if they by all logic should know about him. It has also been done with characters Bendis does care about, but when he does it that way there's more respect.

This is really redundant.
>>
>>84378418

There was a scene of Monica hating on Carol taking the Captain Marvel name. After Monica had herself dropped the name for a couple of different aliases. When 1) Carol has much more of a legitimate claim on the name in the first place and 2) Monica wasn't using it anymore, it came across as a bit of forced conflict.

Don't think it caused them too much friction with them working on the same team.

Just realized that Carol is the Teens equivalent of the Oughts Wolverine, magically capable of being on every team book being published.

I don't know man he probably says repeating panels or something and doesn't care enough to make sure the artist does different ones.

As an artist (admittedly a unsuccessful one), I think artists can be lazy fucks with panels if they can get away with it. So I think a lot of Bendis fault with it is settling for shit, telling them repeated panels are fine. I can't imagine him telling them not to draw each panel individually

But like I'm saying there is difference between him being a fuck and saying "same expression repeated for a few panels" and them copy pasting cause of it. Instead of him explicitly asking for them to just copy paste. I just think at worst hes being an idiot who is telling them repeated panels are all good. I think a lot of the fault is on the artists who are being lazy cause they know bendis is going to let them
