	Fuckin' finally! DC's getting off their damn predetermination kick and trying to recon Terra into a good guy/absolve her of responsibility. That, or Geoforce is goin' evil soon. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	where does it say they are trying to retcon her into a good guy/absolve her? it seems like the opposite here (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well not here. He's talking about certain recent stories that had stuff like Deathstroke telling Geo-Force he drugged Terra like he did Rose and Batgirl. And in Titans where Beast Boy was talking about how Terra would've been a great hero if it weren't for Deathstroke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, exactly. Wolfman wasn't even subtle when he wrote Terra as the more evil one of the pair and yet Johns and Meltzer act like she was led astray, (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They made it fairly ambiguous as to whether they were retconning stuff or just having Deathstroke playing mindgames with Geo-Force and Beast Boy being in denial. But yeah it was a pain to see even kinda said.

I still have no idea what the story is with Deathstroke poisoning Geo-Force by giving him his sister's powers. (Powers do not corrupt people in and of themselves, I'm looking at you writers who made Black Adam's powers inherently evil and bad for Mary.)

	It's POSSIBLE but if so that means it won't be long unitl Atlee goes insane as well and I'd rather not see that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's no real reason to believe that'd make a difference particularly since she has the same DNA as Terra I and II. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	manofbats 2009-10-29 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Terra is still a bad person. The new Terra mini established the second Terra, which was DC's attempt to make Terra good again, wasn't the real Terra. So Terra I is/was an evil person and still is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jlroberson 2009-10-29 09:05 am UTC (link)
	And the last time I read Titans was when that arc finished, so this is interesting for me in particular. All I can say is, YA FINALLY GREW A PAIR, GAR! GOOD ON YA! Killing Terra: never gets old, and it's never enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	kd_the_movie 2009-10-29 09:55 am UTC (link)
	This. I always fucking hated the amount of remembrance and respect Terra gets from the Titans considering how much of an evil bitch she was. Good thing that the one person who they always have reflecting on her knows how bad she was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jlroberson 2009-10-29 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	They tried to pretend since then that she was good? Oh wait, I did read that terrible Special with Geo-Force. That's right, they did. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"Under that troubled exterior"? Since when does Gar (or anyone, really) talk like that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Poor Gar. You never really get over your first love. (Reply to this)

	Gar and the new Terra would make a cute couple. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	(Anonymous) 2009-10-29 02:00 am UTC (link)
	That would be a nice change of pace for Gar to date someone who would actually be nice to him and not rip out his heart and stomp on it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pyrotwilight 2009-10-29 02:02 am UTC (link)
	NOOOOO. Keep Atlee away from Beast Boy and Deathtroke. I don't care how well they might handle it. It's bad enough Blackest Night is completely avoiding the second Terra to focus on this one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We don't even know if the rings have access to Strata or if anyone besides Terra III has access to Strata. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pyrotwilight 2009-10-29 02:07 am UTC (link)
	The rings aren't exactly having trouble finding bodies and wasn't Terra I's body in Strata too since that was part of the whole story of explaining where Terra II came from? Ow, my head. Terra is starting to be the new Donna Troy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, Terra II was one of their own and they chose her to be an ambassador for Strata to the surface world. They mistakenly believed surgically altering her appearance to resemble one of their heroes would make it easier, but wasn't aware of Terra I's betrayal or history. The quixium element that gave Terra II her powers had the unforeseen side effect of wiping her memory, so when she showed up she was susceptible to suggestion. The genetic match that told Terra II she was the original Terra was also a side effect of the quixium.

	pyrotwilight 2009-10-29 02:21 am UTC (link)
	I know that but wasn't Terra I's body taken from the surface world and taken to Strata? So that it could be used by the Stratans to give Terra II her powers and kept there? (Explaining the whole body vanishing plot thing they had when Terra II started thinking she might just be Terra I) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	manofbats 2009-10-29 02:38 am UTC (link)
	No, the quixium element is what ties all three of them together. Terra I got her powers from Markovian scientists who harvested quixium by unwittingly drilling near Strata. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If only there was a magical group of super powered ladies who utilize the power of love to bring soul mates together. Oh well, even if there were, they certainly wouldn't be showing up with all these crazy events going on. (Reply to this)

	Poor Beast Boy, but at least he keeps up hope that he will find someone out there that is perfect for him. Always the optimist :D (Reply to this)
