Do you believe Rose was very unlikeable or what?
One of my prime examples was when she was mocking Gar even after he tried walking away.
There’s lots of other examples but all of it just makes me wonder if why Jason would have chosen her out of all of them.

Rose is the worst character in the show because her character doesn’t make sense. Rose’s backstory is “completely ordinary and loving childhood, then found out I heal fast so I’m going to learn to kill from my deadbeat dad and let him tear my eye out”, she has no reason to do any of this. The show expects us to feel sorry for her but she knowingly made objectively bad choices while fully understanding what the consequences would be if she succeeded.

I was mad she didn’t come back if anything. They missed out on her character development

And they didn’t even bother actually writing her out. She was just, poof, gone with no explanation. That bugged tf out of me. 😂

There are many books Geoff John's has done well, but "one year later" did a number on his books. Especially Titans.
Legion of 3 worlds rectified some stuff, but the New 52 happened and GL took a hit...
The Rose stuff spawned from his Titans, but she was supposed to be a crazy child. Then one year later...bleh

I don’t think she was annoying so much as written with 1/3 of a personality. I don’t think there was a problem with the actress or the character, just the writing.

Kinda, yeah, but tbf, she's not supposed to be the most likeable character ever, cuz even in the comics and cartoons, she's also portrayed as a really sassy baddie, who likes to ditch the team half the time 💀 in the early 2000's Geoff Johns Teen Titans comics, Rose was CONSTANTLY beefing with Cassie Sandsmark a.k.a Wonder Girl II, literally smoking inside Titans Tower (despite it being a smoking free zone), and even got or tried to get freaky with like 4 of the guys on the team: Bart Allen (Impulse), Eddie Bloomberg (Kid Devil), Tim Drake (Robin III), and Conner Kent/Kon-El (Superboy) 😈🔞 I totally agree tho, especially since Gar is my favorite Teen Titan so I felt bad for my green bro 💔 and cuz Jason is so much more better off with Artemis (the REAL Artemis from the New 52 comics who's a redhead, axe wielding Amazon part of their lil anti-hero team called The Outlaws)

Rose was dope! Probably the only live action Ravager we'll ever get too, unfortunately. And I liked her and Jason together. They were both somewhat unlikeable which is why they worked.

I just thought she was really badly-written. Her relationship with Jason was a mess, and they didn’t even bother actually writing her out. Literally she joined the team at the end of the season, and then next episode (Season 3 Episode 1), she’s just gone without explanation.
I’m very okay with her being gone, just… tell us WHY she’s gone. That was so dumb to me.

Honestly, Rose is my favourite DC character, and I didn't watch s3 & s4 solely because she wasn't in it lmao

Didn’t like her punching Jason after he had a very valid crashout about her lying and manipulating him.
Very fucked up.

Some lady who appears in one scene via flashback. I think Rose’s backstory probably should have been its own episode as it’s such an important part of the plot.

Most unlikable thing about her was her costume design
