Oh, I think so.
As for Shady trying to impress Brainy (I'd argue she was trying to make a good impression on Vi, too-- she also perceived the inner screaming barbarian in Vi), I think she's like a Southerner playing host to an untraveled Northener. She's laying on the equivalent of 'Southern charm'. Instead of iced tea, mint juleps and grits- she's proffering rioutous banquets and bloody battle. Though that doesn't explain away the behavior of her fellow Talokians.
Maybe she just doesn't visit the more serene tribes? At least with impressionable Legionnaires in tow?

A simple enough explanation is possible. Every time Tas visits Talok its for some sort of quasi-religious cultural festival in which traditional aspects of the culture are celebrated. Like going home to Japan for the spring sumo tournament.
Other Legionnaires don't seem to go home quite as much. Brainy is estranged from his planet, Saturn Girl's mother is on Earth, Phantom Girl dumped her boyfriend and seems to be paying more attention to her Earthly duties, Projectra didn't seem to call home much before the destruction of her planet.
