They totally mislead people with the Immortal scene in the trailer.

Oh hey, Kate's brother!

Glad to see Donald back!

Showing how important Eve is to Mark that even in a universe where he's evil he can't outright kill her.

I now know how to pronounce Angstrom's last name!

More RobotxMonster Girl set up.

Amber is in full nice and supportive girlfriend mode but I wonder how people will react when the cracks start forming before they break up. But it does feel like they're trying to sell people on the Amber relationship still.

Oh Cecil if only you knew you were putting your faith in a guy who would kill you and take over the Earth.

Didn't expect Olga to come back. I guess they need someone to replace that other Superhero wife friend because I think she was associated with another Image property?

The beginning of Debbie's alcoholism.

Eve talking about feeling lonely and then immediately talking to Mark? I don't think that's a coincidence.

I like how they introduce Bulletproof as someone who can take Rex's BS.

Mark getting a taste for how Cecil missions go and it not jiving with him feels like foreshadowing how their partnerships will ultimately go.

Interesting set up where part of Angstrom's hatred of Mark is partially fueled by his AU counterpart who experienced Mark destroying his Earth. I guess that overrode his compassion and altruism, on-top of driving him insane.

It seems that the setup for a breakup is a bit far now unless other episodes foreshadow it a bit.

However, the use of a trope named after a common house appliance is not off the table: the mean big-brain man wants to destroy Mark's life after all. However, I doubt they are going to "Gwen Stacy" their way out of that because of the "problematic" connotations that trope has. Maybe Mark is the one who ends their relationship? Who knows? I'm open to anything as long is good and well-developed.

i just can’t find myself to care about amber/mark. even if they improved her character, i know that in the overall story she is pretty much useless. so i don’t care at all. i do wonder though how eve and mark will get together since there hasn’t really been a hint in the show so far. i mean yeah we saw that eve definitely likes mark but nothing really from him. i am just scared that this is going to come across like it‘s out of nowhere.

Well she gets upset with him in the comics because he confesses his feelings after being told to by the alternate eve, and she asks if he really feels that way about her or if it’s just been put into his head.
