I can kind of understand where you’re coming from, but given the way Taylor just breezes through all of those topics I’m not sure Timms is actually all that bad a fit. Imagine something like Taylor’s “hopes and prayers” school shooter scene in a more serious art style, I think the backlash would’ve been much, much stronger. Taylor simply isn’t a strong enough writer to grapple with serious nuanced interrogations of real world issues, he’s too simplistic a writer. There are the bad evil people and the good heroes who beat them up or rally the world against them with an inspiring speech (see: X-Men Red), and Timms more cartoonish style fits better with that kind of writing.
Agreed I was happy he left the cape with Jay (guess they’ve already graduated to Jay wearing Jon’s clothing least it was his sweatshirt).
