“Nolan has superpowers, he’s indestructible. That’s not strength. That’s having it easy”

That’s honestly a great line.

Reminded me of the first episode where Debbie asks Mark something like “Does that make you feel strong?” That I can’t physically make you do something?”

Debbie's so fucking great in this. I love her to pieces.

What is great about it? Her character is tragic and that's it. Her character arc for now is quite average and repetitive.

She’s a human woman who was married to an indestructible, god-like alien. Just her ability to mentally empower herself even in a relationship where the power dynamics could have been (and did end up being) extremely imbalanced is impressive. She could have taken Mark's "make me" and walked away knowing she couldn't have made him, but instead she pointed out that him being physically stronger than her did not make him better than her, and that his strength doesn't make immune to being a bad person. She's clearly done the mental homework.
