Glad to see Mark visiting Las Vegas. I hope the show has many more memorable heartwarming moments spent there!

This episode also really got me excited for the events of issue 50 to be covered, whenever that might be.

I feel like this episode will be a lot more enjoyable to comic readers because it has a lot of really cool setup that show only watchers will only get to appreciate much later.

Right now, I'm wondering what happens first and in which episodes: Guardians of the Globe taking the major blow from the Lizard League or stopping the Martian attack.

Mark and Eve had already kissed by the time of the Sequid and Lizard League attack and they haven’t set up their relationship in the show at all. Does that mean their relationship will be pushed back?

The Sequid and Lizard League attack both happened after Thraxa in the comics. Saying that they're moving things "up" or "back" really only makes sense in relation to a few fixed major plot points (Omni-Man fight, Thraxa, first fight with Angstrom, Invincible War, etc). Mark and Amber break up a little while after the "I thought you were stronger" incident, and that's probably about when it will happen in the show, give or take an episode or two.

If I had to guess, Mark will come back from Thraxa in episode 4 or 5, things will be strained between them but they'll try to muddle through for a while, and then they'll mutually agree that it's not working for either of them in either late season 2 or early season 3

Eh, kinda? Season 1 already showed they're playing fast and loose with the order of events. The Omniman fight was like issue 12 in the books while the college plot with the Reanimen didn't wrap up till issue 40. I think the broad bullet points of the Viltrumite and Angstrom centric conflicts will happen in the same order as the comics but everything else can be shifted around as needed.

Didn’t these Things Happen at the Same Time in the Comic?

I really hope Shrinking Raymona survived or at least has a less gruesome death.

Eh, probably not

Do u think That Will Happen Next Episode? It Happens around Issue 38 if i remember it correctly They Could also wait until the Events of the issues around 25 and around Issue 34 happened

u/Reno18_99 Nov 10 '23

I suppose they could. I'm just not sure what they are gonna do with the next one to fill the gap between the latest episode and episode 4 which I imagine is on Thraxa

I gotta reread the comics. I read them earlier this year but I've already forgotten the finer details. I can tell what's different but it's hard to remember what the original was lol

Yeah my wife who did not read the comics seemed kind of lost and asked me questions. I was just excited the whole time and liked how they changed some stuff up.

The Atlantis comic was fantastic, I loved that comic and it's better than what they did with Atlantis in this episode...however Atlantis in the show actually tied back to the main storyline in a clever way I did appreciate.
