i love love LOVE that they’re giving more depth to the women in this story. eve and amber were both pretty shallow in the comics. until the fight with the viltrumites and eve’s first death she didn’t have a ton of personality, imo. i’m glad robert kirkman is making a concerted effort to give all the characters more development, but especially the women.

i can say the same about the pacing and changing around certain storylines! i see some people don’t like the added emphasis to the lizard league, but honestly, their role in the comics felt pretty goddamn random and they need to be framed as a bigger and more consistent threat.

i never saw eve as shallow in the comics, she was always cool but yeah i agree i really love her in the show. her scenes with her dad were kinda heartbreaking. can‘t really say the same for amber i just really don’t care for her at all. that’s probably because i know that in the comics she just fades away after awhile. for me the chemistry just isn’t there between them so i am not too invested in this relationship.

Yeah, I agree. I always felt like Eve was well developed. How many other super hero stories are there where they forego fighting crime to just be a treehugger helping however they can?

i hated mark and amber being together in the comics. it NEVER made sense to me. beyond amber being pretty she was pretty vapid and didn’t contribute much to the story. at least in the show she’s interesting and has some degree of impact, even if she kind of sucks
