That Eve and mark hug is giving me life 😩 forget Amber, best girl is here

[u/WindWielder → u/Elite_Alice]

I like show Amber more than most people but yeah. In the comics Mark and Eve had kissed by the time they dealt with the Sequids in space so I feel like they should get on with it already.

It was a great decision to cut the Africa plotline but I wish we had gotten something in its place.

If you don’t mind my asking what was the Africa plot line? I haven’t read the comics and would like to know. They might do it later and not right now though

Essentially instead of eve being at her parents place she decides to go to africa and live off the land (which with her powers means she makes herself a fuckin mansion and just chills there). Mark with amber eventually comes to see her and after sometime of tension they kiss.

Its really not a good plot like its just there to have mark cheat on Amber (they were still together but also amber was emotionally cheating on mark) and have both of them realize they love each other.

So glad it got cut and now its more streamlined and made the scene with rex even better.

In the show, after Eve moves out of her parents' house she moves into a treehouse in a National Forest a couple hundred miles away. In the comics, she goes to Africa instead to help a primitive African village. That part did not age well. The first picture in this article will give you an idea of what it looked like.

Two plot relevant things happen in Africa. First, Mark brings Amber with him to visit Eve and go on a little safari. Eve doesn't like that Mark brought Amber and tries to drive a wedge between them. In the show, Eve is more respectful of their relationship and is even friends with Amber so I don't see this part getting adapted.

That trip is cut short by Angstrom Levy, who has captured Debbie and Oliver. Possible show spoilers in case this part is included: After defeating Levy, Mark is stranded in an alternate dimension and is saved by a future timeline Guardians of the Globe. A middle aged Eve shouts out that she loves him and asks him to be honest with his feelings for Eve.

The second time, Mark goes to Africa without Amber. This time, they kiss but Mark feels awkward about it because he hasn't broken up with Amber. They're quickly interrupted by Cecil who needs their help with the incoming Sequid attack. Since the Sequid attack is already happening in the show, this part is also unlikely to be adapted.

Eve moved to Africa for a bit. Mark and Amber visited her, and that issue started to hint at Mark and Amber breaking up. A few issues later, Mark visits Eve in Africa on his own (i think they had both just gone through some rough times), and the first thing they do when they see each other is kiss.
