It feels like they want to give the female characters more depth than they had in the comics but their depth just makes them come across like assholes

Being wrong doesn't make you an asshole lol, Kate seems fine

u/cancerinos Nov 18 '23

Cheating on someone makes you an asshole, So now they're both assholes.

Seems pretty clear they weren't a thing, only Rex thought so

u/Joeybfast Nov 18 '23

Naw they were thing. She would not have wanted to talk about things if it was just fling .

u/sGvDaemon Nov 19 '23

No evidence they were a thing, having sex doesn't make you a couple. It seemed like Rex wanted more (especially after Eve leaving him) but Kate was not interested

u/AgilePickle745 Nov 22 '23

Not communicating that still makes her kinda an asshole though

u/elizabnthe Nov 18 '23

She didn't want to talk though.

u/Joeybfast Nov 18 '23

She forced the conversation in the gym .

u/mikey_lolz Nov 18 '23

Yeah, because they're coworkers and will continue to be coworkers for a while. Unresolved tension like that ruins morale, regardless of whose fault it is. Whether she's a good person or not, or was coupled with Rex or not, are seperate from her wanting to initiate that conversation.

Should she have done what she did without talking to Rex first? No. But she's barely an adult and is also deeply traumatised. She couldn't imagine Rex being that invested given what happened between them and Eve, and perhaps that speaks to her own self-worth, too. The topic is pretty nuanced, given how little time we spend on it.

They weren’t dating, Rex cheated on Eve with Kate, Kate thought they broke up and she was upset with Rex afterwards.

u/Sahm_1982 Nov 21 '23

She slept with someone in a relationship. Then cheated on him, with her boss.

You not thinking she's an asshole shows a lot about your character lol

2

u/AlishanTearese Nov 23 '23

Kate didn't realize Rex and Eve were still together. Rex fed her some line about Eve getting together with Mark.

3

u/Sahm_1982 Nov 23 '23

And she didn't even bother to check.

And then she slept with her boss, while being with rex.

Like, at VERY best interpretation she's kinda a hoe. Really she feels like a cheater

u/Poniibeatnik Atom Eve Nov 17 '23

Nah Kate's wrong but she's not an asshole.

u/Reddragon351 Nov 17 '23

I mean I would argue they have given a lot of them more depth, and even works well with some of them, like Eve and Debbie, the problem is whenever they're try to be subversive or explain away something like Amber last season or the justification for Kate this season it comes off as really dumb.

u/Effective-Handle9983 Rex Splode Nov 17 '23

Kate was already an asshole in the comic

1

u/Reddragon351 Nov 17 '23

yeah everyone kind of was

5

u/Chagdoo Donald Ferguson Nov 17 '23

What's wrong with a deep asshole?

4

u/zauraz Nov 18 '23

I mean. Rex is an ass. He was already cheating and said his relationship with Duplicate meant nothing when talking to Eve. I can't really say she is being an "ass"

Dude, you're not supposed to post comic spoilers in this thread at all. What a fucking asshole.

That's been my problem with HoD.

u/wispymatrias Nov 18 '23

She is an asshole. Assholes can have depth.

Comic readers know it's a merry-go-round of pricks with the new Guardians.
