This is not a cute Bart moment. B|

(I am shamelessly posting a link to a tumblr post in hopes someone who has an account will comment there about what I'm about to say.)

A lot of people hold up this moment as being such a cute Bart moment, and a really great Bart & Cissie (or even Bart/Cissie) moment, and isn't he so cute how he loves Max, etc.

And they are missing one really important thing when they do this:

That's not Bart.

No, seriously, that's not Bart. That's Inertia.

That whole time Young Justice went into space in the space ship that (actual) Bart got, and they helped Doiby and they played baseball against aliens and "Bart" merged with the Infinite Man?

That's all Inertia. He had Bart trapped in a pocket dimension or something and impersonated him for a few months.

So no, that's not a Bart-Cissie hug. That's not Bart being adorable. That's not Bart.
