>>101972328OK. Throughout NTT, you see Tara coming onto Slade and acting like a slut, as seen here
>>101972266Every single time this happens, Slade acts weirded out and turns her down, but of course no one ever posts those panels, just the ones where Tara is coming onto him.
Slade later has a sitdown with Garfield and explains the whole story to him. Now, for context, Slade is Wolfman's pet character who he constantly wants to depict as just an anti-hero, not a villain, and Tara is supposed to be his version of Kitty Pryde, who he fucking hates, which is why he constantly portrays her as a psychopath.
So in this sitdown, Slade explains that the reason he was fucking with the Titans was solely for muh honor because his son took on a hit job on the Titans and Slade believes he's honor bound to complete the job (the job not actually being to kill them, just to kidnap them and deliver them to HIVE). He explains that Tara approached him to assist him with infiltrating the team, and that it was completely her idea to mislead them. He explained that Tara is a pathological liar incapable of emotions and that literally everything she did was fake, and that she tried to come onto Slade simply because she's a psycho with issues.
The other part that's always taken out of context is this
>>101972441This is not Slade admitting he fucked her. It's Gar asking a weird question and Slade reacting like "... What difference would that even make?"
Again, Tara comes onto him constantly throughout the story, and Slade every single time reacts with disgust. There is absolutely no reason for Wolfman to contradict everything he's stated about Slade AND paint him as an actual badguy when literally the entire point of that exact scene is to make you sympathize with Slade and show how everything's Tara's fault.
This shit is propagated by people who don't actually read comics, just out of context panels posted on 4chan and CBR.
