Admiring Jason? To an extent sure but it doesn't come off like hero worship. Roy has tried to impress others too, he's even said he wants attention in his narrative once.<br /><br />Jason has been the only person able to understand him and treat him as an equal. Yet Roy was annoyed in the first issue because others thought Jason was superior to him. In three Underbellys' assistant ignores him to praise Jason. I get more of a feeling he wants to prove himself as an equal than looking up to Jason.<br /><br />It might have to do with his fear of falling off the wagon and letting Jason down. Maybe he thinks Jason will be disappointed in him if his sobriety isn't that strong. Lobdell seems to add a little more every issue.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-26549989994011246932015-09-22T21:28:44.600-07:002015-09-22T21:28:44.600-07:00His abandoment issues are certainly a factor, but ...His abandoment issues are certainly a factor, but the way I see it; Roy looks up at Jason either as a big brother or a role model. So a lot of the stuff Roy does is to impress Jason. In that context it makes sense that he wants Jason to show weakness while at the same time he hides his.Dark_Tzitziminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055905660404131186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-82879908141095735642015-09-22T15:25:26.975-07:002015-09-22T15:25:26.975-07:00I can kind of see him not wanting to show weakness...I can kind of see him not wanting to show weakness but at the same time I can't. I need more content for this. I do think it's partly to do with his abandonment issues which might have flared up after Kori left.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-4340792586424009682015-09-22T15:09:19.134-07:002015-09-22T15:09:19.134-07:00I think Roy's reticence to confide on Jason st...I think Roy's reticence to confide on Jason stems from a misguided impression of him. Like Roy tries to not showing any weakness in front of Jason in fear of being rejected or maybe disappointing him. Sort of like if he sees Jason as a role model, I guess.Dark_Tzitziminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055905660404131186noreply@blogger.com
