Yeah, Raven is very different from the characters she usually plays, especially the likes of Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls who's like the polar opposite. Although there are some parallels between Twilight Sparkles and Raven. Apparently Tara originally auditioned for Starfire, but instead got cast as Raven.

I think the whole point was to make her morality confusing and ambigious. They actually gave the choice of possibly sympathising with her, while her comic version was a full villain pretending to he a hero. But nonetheless left the base very divided. I know a lot of Terra fans want her to go full hero, but I'm not sure if that'll happen. No I can't blame Raven, especially since she's not the trusting type to begin with.

And I might have a read of the Avatar one, though I still haven't seen the final season of the series yet. :/

Royal families in fiction tend to go to drastic extremes for the claim to the throne. She might not have gotten what she wanted, but she certainly wasn't screwed as badly as Zuko. She was just pretty ungrateful with what she got.

Don't get me wrong, an evil mastermind makes for a great antagonist. It's just I'm so used to seeing Slade as a mercenary in other media. He does give off a very intimidating air, with his creepy monotone and fore-knowledge of eberything, and I do enjoy watching him. Well one thing I wondered with the robots is, why do they always seem to fight as well as he does? Usually Robin or whoever has enough trouble defeating that Slade-bot, only to take off the mask to find out he's not the original. Demonic Slade was very entertaining, he was already so powrrful as it is and now he can fly and blast fire.

@Anime, yeah Starfire was a fierece warrior with a heart in the comics, very different from the bubbly girly Starfire in the TV show. I didn't know about Blackfire's disease though. Thanks.
