Oh. No. Half of Tumblr/Twitter hate Seeley for categorizing Robin in boxes which he did since Batman and Robin Eternal (on top of sexualizing Dick too much and writing him more as a Charmer and Improviser than Planner). The other half hate Robins for being a definite win against Justice League Queer, Blue Beetle, or everything else.
The difference in content is the webtoon takes what fans already like and does in fandom and make it canon, while Seeley's choice of alteration is not what they like. For example, depicting Damian as arrogant, kid Jason as a crook, while in webtoon Damian is a brat but a cutie, and while Jason is the bad boy of the fam, it's more cute and present, not touching the past and perpetuating that he's the Bad Robin stereotype.
How the hell is Wayne Family Adventures making anything canon?
Is just yet another alternate universe using Batman characters.
I don't know about that. Seeley's Robins character feel a lot unlike their actual main line comic analogues. Included Dick, which is something I honestly wasn't expecting from Seeley.
I mean, all-goofy allways loving Dick? Ehh... Distressed-estressed-barely-awake Tim? Eh... Damian was OK, I guess. A bit too cartoonish. Jason was too cartoonish and definitely saying things I can't see him saying at all. I mean, it reads as much as fanfiction (and there's rreally good fanfiction out there, just to be clear) as the Wayne Family webtoon; maybe even more, because some things feel depth-lacking, and aren't subtle at all, and has the same problem with blatant exposition that Seeley's short story about the bats being captured had in Gothan Nights (I mean, I don't think people talk about themselves with their peers like that). But it's ok, it's an enjoyable read. I can keep reading, it's an allright read for me. Same as that webtoon and a lot of fanfics.
