Kingby Mate i must say streuth y'ol' codger. As an Aussie may i say that while I can't say that the lingo applies to all people, i certainly know some from the heavy outback where takin the full stereotype actually applies to SOME people.

Didnt for Aqualad, does for Lagoon Boy. He's probably not from poseidonis or shayeris, but im thinkin tritonis where i believe he may be from is a lot more undersea outback.

Now Eva's a petite little French girl, she certainy knows that takin the full stereotype can be bad but fact is on occasion it's a little accurate like me being an ultra relaxed, big drinking Australian.

Confused on your squab with the powers, powers dont define the character, but from the show perspective he's a much better choice for Aquaman's protege, their powers actually coincide. If you hate characters existing to create drama you must've missed the point of this show. The action is secondary to character interaction and plot. Character interaction is driven by drama and the Lagoon Boy's attitude has actually allowed for the plot to advance (see LAGOONBOY GETTING KIDNAPPED BY MANTA).

Zod is right, that's how i see Wally in season one as well, insecurity&personality, took till coldhearted/failsafe to see that but still. Season Two he's lost the insecurity with Art and now he's a hilarious character.

Case you havent noticed, most discussion by fans here revolves around the dramatic aspects of the series (relationships).
