Those of you familiar with the animated series are most likely in the know about the tragedy of the character of Terra... but things were a bit different in the comics. In the animated series, Terra was a girl who had trouble controlling her powers and was brought on by Slade to betray the team, but ultimately she turned on him and was going to join the forces of good before she got turned to stone and and reappeared in one of the most frustrating and annoying finales in a kid's show. In the comics, Terra was a monster... plain and simple. She was a sociopath and a sadist, and she was only fourteen years old. She played with the emotions of the Titans, and happily betrayed them to Deathstroke and the H.I.V.E., learning all their weaknesses and even their secret identities. When she thought that Deathstroke had turned on her, she went nuts and basically killed herself in her rage, buried under a pile of earth that she had created. Oh yeah, and she also slept with Deathstroke. I did mention she was fourteen years old, right?
"Like Slimer from "Ghostbusters". In the movies he's a bad guy, but in the cartoons he's just part of the team."

"Now, here's the thing. The most popular trend in modern adaptions reimagines the plot of Don Quixote to be almost completely unrecognizable, putting the story focus on Don Quixote as a dreamer chassing his passions in the face of an unfeeling and frequently cruel world. This Don Quixote is a noble, almost tragic hero, born in the wrong era, trying to recall a golden age of chivalry in the face of constant ridicule. At worst, he'll be characterized as delusional, but well-meaning and fundamently heroic. This interpretation is terrible enough, I half suspect Don Quixote wrote it himself. The book version of Don Quixote isn't even well-meaning. He's explicitly dangerously violent and prone to destructive fits of rage, and he's pretty much a public menace from minuite one. So no, "Don Quixote, misunderstood dreamer daring to follow that star", is not accurate. "Don Quixote, loud incoherent man you try not to make eye contact with and cross the street to avoid" is signifantly closer to the truth."
