“Farewell, brave lad! Never will there be another exactly like you! In the hearts of all who admired you, on many worlds, you will never die!”
The death of Lightning Lad, the first superhero to die and be brought back
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
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.
"They're saying weird and cringe stuff" THEY ARE FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS IN TIGHTS. I've never met a 14 yr old who doesn't say weird and cringe stuff, let alone one in tights. That's just what that stage of life is.
Also these guys were straight up insane in the og comics. "Suffering Saphos", "Flasheroo", "Heebie-jeebies", "Robin-Bobin", whatever the fuck secret language Dick and Wally had, ect.
So this is accurate to the lore. The Teen Titans being weird and cringe is a canon event.

They put the nazi’s physical safety in jeopardy every time they came to shows. And it worked”. End id]
For everyone who is reading World's Finest: Teen Titans by Mark Waid and going 'Why is Wally baby?' I need you to know that's a valid question but Wally was ABSOLUTELY baby in the og Teen Titans series and he only became a hot mess after watching Barry die at 19
