>>93443845I'm not necessarily against it but I don't get why it's so common to the point of predictability.
Off the top of my head there's Aku, who had some scarier moments in the old SJ run but is still comic relief throughout and in the new run too. Grim, who's the fucking Grim Reaper. Him from PPG, Satan incarnate who also gets scary moments but far more haha look at this loser moments. Even in Teen Titans where everyone was given pretty equal spotlight Beastboy could turn into that mutant werewolf thing that terrified everyone.
Fuck man, the strong characters are always comic relief.
