Opinions on Jason Todd being the multiversal equivalent to Uncle Ben 👀
i see the appeal, but i don't like it personally. they're just two fundamentally different characters now that i can't equivalate them with each other. maybe i could see the tie in with the both of them dying tragically? furthering the plot for another character? but at the same time, that'd make universal equivalents for millions of characters
#it's not BAD#but they don't match up or sync together as much as i would like#ben's entire character is about responsibility and what that comes with#it's about having morals and caring for people even when you're angry and upset#jason's character and death wasn't even about that#plus ben is implied to have been older than richard#and if dick is richard then i don't like the age swap and dynamic swap of that#just cause#like no particular reason i just don't personally like it#if anyone would be ben it'd be bruce#who built his entire hero identity and personal life on responsibility and power and what he's supposed to do with it#while also being older than richard#erinwantstowrite#bruce wayne#ben parker#peter parker#jason todd#thank you for the ask!
