Unpopular opinion:

Besides many of the other very obvious problems with the comic book "I am not Starfire", along with Mandy's character as well, they totally missed the opportunity to name her Mand'i instead as a Tamaranean name, just like the other Tamaranean names "Mar'i" and "Koriand'r' for example

It just would have been much more better if that's how it was actually spelled instead of the usual version of the name

And I say that because Starfire is supposed to be a single Mom in the book, so it's much more believable that she would have picked a Tamaranean name for her child instead of just a normal one from earth, since she's the parent that's naming her

Rewrite vs. Canon: DC's I Am Not Starfire

Starfire's kid is a juvenile delinquent who is jealous of her sister Mari for inheriting their mom's powers (and good looks). After an end of year school prank goes wrong she's shipped off to stay with her grandpa Bruce for the summer. He's a strict hardass, and makes Starfire's kid do chores and help around the manor. No hanging out with "friends" or partying late.

One day while cleaning she stumbles upon a secret entrance and discovers the batcave. Predictably Bruce finds out and she begs him not to kick her out. After much deliberation Bruce decides this could be a good opportunity to teach her how to be responsible and compassionate. So a lot is her learning how to be a better person and finding her identity.

But THEN Blackfire shows up to invade earth. Starfire & Mari are incapacitated leaving the other daughter to rely on her newfound skills to stave off the invasion. She gets captured by Blackfire, who tries to get her on her side but playing the "we have the same issues we're just alike" card. Only for her niece to retort if they really are alike, how come Blackfire wants to ruin millions of lives just to make herself feel good? And aware she wasn't any better lashing out due to her own jealousy, Starfire's daughter rejects her. A fight ensues mostly with Starfire's daughter evading using Bat weapons, long enough for her mom, sister and Uncle Wildfire to defeat the warlord.

Starfire's daughter comes to see that if she never forged her own identity she easily could've been a bitter villain like her aunt. Her family assures her she is nothing like Blackfire because she is willing to admit her mistakes and fix them. With that reassurance, Starfire's daughter decides to transfer to a public school in gotham to continue her hero work, and be an activist supporting low income students.

I'll defend "I am Not Starfire" with my life.

Was it for me? No.

Did it deserve to get destroyed by grown ass adults like me, who are drugged on nostalgia and have a hate boner for anything that threatens that? Also no.

Starting an I Am Not Starfire Au where Mandy is officially Starfire/Nightwing’s kid, and Starfire looks different yet the same

#i am not starfire #starfire #teen titans #teen titans starfire #mandy #my edits #edits #also before you ask yes! I know that Nightstar/Mari exists! She’s in this Au! #I say different yet the same because I took from her 80’s design and her Titans look #so she’s dark skinned/black but her hair and eyes go back to her 80’s #both her and Mandy share colored hair (it’s genetic) and similar skin tones #but Mandy has her fathers eyes #I posted this on tik tok and it’s…blown up. which is kinda shocking!

kory not celebrating her own bday but celebrating her daughter’s every year 😭😭😭 makes me wonder if mandy knows about her traumatic past at all. something something, thinking she’s saving her kid from having to hear about her tragic past when really, the kid just wants to know their mama 😭😭😭

The new Velma show is just...

EW. It’s basically the new “I am not Starfire” with the main character being the author’s mouthpiece and a bitch to everyone but still gets good things or has people fall in love with them. 

Like, think about it. 

A girl who all grungy, “not like other girls”, is not perceived as hot but also is by everyone??, seen as a role model for no reason, is constantly protected by plot armour, makes the shittest decisions but people still support her antics, shuts everyone out of her life but that makes people like her more???

They’re practically the same but with a different setting as one takes place in the DC universe and the other in Scooby Doo. 

It’s bad and cringy.

And I’m gonna give you guys some more content because I’m so kind. Love y’all.

Some more unpopular opinions about "I am not Starfire":

Instead of a normal light ginger looking hair color, Mandy's hair should've actually been just as red as Starfire's instead or it should've just been some other kind of unnatural color instead of just normal looking ginger hair. It should've been unique just like how Mar'i's hair glows with purple at the bottom of hers or just like how Blackfire's whole hair is dark blue/dark purple for example, cause like she's supposed to be half Tamaranean! Why does her design look so normal in the book as if she's actually fully human???? So like at least give her an unnatural hair color to make it more believable that she is Tamaranean!!! It also would've gave much more of a better reason for why she dyed her hair full on black because her natural Tamaranean hair color easily shows that she's Starfire's daughter, cause if she has normal ginger hair, no one's gonna just look at her and think like "Yep! That's definitely Starfire's daughter because she has natural ginger hair." Cause it just looks too normal to even make that kind of connection! Especially with her very human appearance already!

One time while reading this book, as I was observing the artstyle throughout all of the pages (cause that's literally the only best thing about the dang book), I had noticed that Mandy's pupils actually had a darker green coloring in it instead of black and I thought to myself "Oh, wow, that's a really cool little detail that they gave to her, especially since her design already looks so much like a human instead of a Tamaranean. I really like that" ..... But then after looking at the other characters eye's, I soon found out that the same thing was done with them as a part of the artstyle and then I was just like "😑 Oh...okay, whatever than I guess." So after that, I feel like that's how her eye's should've actually naturally been as a part of her design instead, since she's Starfire's daughter, especially because it had looked like a really interesting little detail for her before I had found out that it was actually just a part of the artstyle

There's this brought up flashback moment in the book (that no one talks about at all for some reason) where Starfire gives Kid!Mandy a bag of wet soaked bread so that she could give it to Claire (who was still just a friend to her during that time) as a gift for her birthday when she goes over to her house, cause it's supposed to be a Tamaranean type of gift or something and I was just like "What???? What about an actual weird Tamaranean meal like the one's that she would used to make in the og Teen Titans animated show?? Cause that would've made much more sense as a Tamaranean meal that's supposed to be a friendly gift than just some wet bag of bread."

Cause that's earth food!! I don't remember earth food like bread being on Tamaran at all, so shouldn't it actually just be an original meal made from Tamaran that she could've given to her instead of that???? Especially since I remember hearing that this book is supposed to be inspired by the og animated Teen Titans universe, so an actual home cooked Tamaranean meal would've just made much more sense instead of just trying to do weird things to human food just to make it seem like a "Tamaranean meal"!!

Here's the panel for it btw

I also wanted to see more of her pet parrot Joannie!!!😭😭😭😭😭 They were such an adorable fun bird, they totally deserved more panel time!!!💕

(Just look at em'!! So adorable and happy about everything!!💗)

During the scene where Blackfire was threatening Starfire with Mandy, I really hated it when she backed down so fast from her Instead of being the protective warrior that she actually is, cause as nice as Starfire is as a character, she isn't actually a person who will just easily back down from standing up for herself, especially if it's her loved one's who are being endangered at that very moment, cause she will be the type to fight back when that happens, so I imagine that even especially as a Mother she would become very raged to ever see someone in front of her threatening to hurt her daughter, even if it is her evil sister Blackfire who is the one that's threatening her, cause she won't care at all, she's still gonna do what she has to do to protect her child, especially from her sister

I very much also didn't like when they made Starfire obsess so much over Mandy's powers showing up every year on each birthday of her's and waste the whole day in the back yard in front of the sun just to see if something happens, cause I honestly don't believe Starfire would've cared about it that much. I mean she obviously would be curious to know when her childs gonna develop her powers and would want to know if she can use them well and stuff so that she can give her proper training on how to control them better, but she wouldn't be so obsessed about it!! Starfire would've actually made a real birthday party for Mandy to enjoy instead with all of their loved ones there to celebrate it with them (like the Titans for example), instead of doing what she did in the book!

It also actually would've been nicer if they had made her friend Lincoln more interesting as a character instead of just making him be the ears that are just only there to always listen to all of Mandy's daily complaints about every single little thing all the time

I also don't like the scene that was happening while Mandy was at the playground trying to terrify her bullies while Claire was there, because the only reason that scene was made was just so that she can unintentionally foreshadow the battle that happens between her and Blackfire at the end of the book and it just felt a little annoying and unnecessary for it to even be there cause it actually does nothing useful or interesting for the story at all

Dick is obviously the Dad and he knows it too😑 (I know this one isn't really an unpopular opinion but I wanna talk about it anyways)

I mean just look at the way he worries about Mandy here!!!

And then this last panel in the book where he's literally the only one on the roof standing next to Starfire as they BOTH PROUDLY look at Mandy fly away into the sky as a new hero, like he's obviously the Dad, cause why else is he in this scene with Starfire happily enjoying this moment with her if Mandy's not his kid?! They don't even have a close relationship with eachother to explain this, so he is the Dad!!!

Just look at it!!

(That's freaking him right there!!)

Like I'm just so dissapointed in the fact that they made him abandon Starfire like that instead of making him actually be a caring Father like he canonly is with his other kids Mar'i and Jake, and actually be there to raise Mandy with her🤦, but it obviously wasn't done that way so that Mandy could have higher and easier free chances of being very disrespectful and rebellious towards her Mother in the whole story, since there's no other parent (which is Dick) to help Starfire out in stopping that kind of unnecessary and unkind behavior and teach her that's not the way for her to treat her Mom at all

#Literally thinking about just rewriting the whole book myself at this point or something cause there's just so many problems with it🤦 #Starfire #Koriand'r #Koriandr #Teen titans #I am not starfire #Teen titans animated #dc comics #I even have a whole redesign of my own for Mandy because I was actually thinking of doing it but idk if I should post or not #maybe if you guys wanna maybe see it than I probably will #Dick grayson #Nightwing

Since i got an ask about it might as well drop my potential redesigns of Mandy (i forgot her name that's how boring she is 💀)

First let's give her a bit more melanin. Either keep her hair black to make her parallels to Blackfire stronger or change it to red. I was even thinking green. Mandy never develops powers, so that makes her distinct from M'ari. She leans towards the Nightwing side of the family. Mandy gets a codename: Black Opal. She still has green eyes, the picrew doesn't have eye color options. Picrew by @ummmmandy

I just HATE redesigns that slim her down - HER WEIGHT IS NOT AND NEVER WAS THE PROBLEM!! She just needs a better personality and story arc. Where Mandy is FORCED to become a better person! Maybe even her own Rogue'd Gallery. Who knows?

So yeah….as a quick reminder, my particular AU version of Mandy Anders (who I also gave her the superhero name of “Wildfire”), is essentially the same character from the original “I Am Not Starfire” graphic novel but she’s a lot more complex than the original version of her where instead of just being the complete polar opposite of her mom with seemingly no superpowers to speak of at first, she actually gets her powers much earlier in her life but unfortunately those same alien powers from her mother’s side of the family pretty much only help alienate her further (no pun intended) from her human friends and classmates since Mandy’s alien hybrid physiology generally makes her bigger, taller, stronger & much more physically imposing then your average high schooler or even most human adults (along with having genetic atavism from her mom’s side of the family that actually makes her look more big cat-like in appearance).

Not to mention the fact that she feels that she always has to compete with her older, prettier & much more popular half sister, Mar’i Grayson (a.k.a. the newest Gotham City superhero “Nightstar”) as she pretty much views herself as the angsty, moody & troublemaking “unfavorite” of the family). But at least Mandy has an actual Heavy Metal Band called “The Outlaws” alongside her only few friends to have her back when things get rough with Crush (Lobo’s Daughter) on bass & Cheshire Cat (Red Arrow’s Daughter) on drums respectively.

Plus I was just thinking about having this particular AU version of Mandy grow up to become a badass Spacefaring Bounty Hunting Antihero alongside her friends Crush & Cheshire Cat as she would also still pretty close to her family & friends back home on Earth as she occasionally helps out both The Teen Titans & Justice League with various missions while also trying desperately to find love on the side!!
