[Discussion] eddie Bloomberg’s death was treated poorly (source: teen titans vol 3 #74)
I think Eddie Bloomberg’s (kid/red devil’s) death was treated poorly and it upsets me. I’ve started reading into teen titans (vol 3) and that mostly for Eddie as he seemed like an interesting and lovable character.
Unfortunately eddie died sacrificing himself for the others. His death is not what upsets me but the way it was treated afterwards.
When superboy died it broke many of the titans especially Tim and Cassie, who lost someone very significant to them. They were mourning and struggling with the high complex emotions for many issues. He got an even a freaking huge statue for him outside the titans tower.
But when Eddie died the only impact it left was on Cassie! She blamed herself and decided to be a better leader, outside of that it barely impacted anyone! Correct me if I’m wrong but we never saw how it impacted rose Wilson, blue devil, miss Martian or Zachary zatara!
The only thing we got was that Cassie blamed herself for a few issues and rose’s drug hallucination of Eddie, that wasn’t even about his death. At the time she didn’t even know he was dead!!! It makes me so angry they killed him off without leaving any impact on the people he actually meant something.
I haven’t fully finished the run yet but it doesn’t seem like his death will matter later on either. It makes me so angry that such a lovable character died for people who barely mourned for him. Of course they shouldn’t cry all the time but would a few panels of how they miss him and how hard it is hurt? NO!
