Well.. I suppose I should have expected that, since they already changed the character from being a dude in the comics, and how much people were simping.

Yeah, i guess it makes sense but I still wish they hadn't, kinda ruins the stakes of last episode when it was supposed to be a bloodbath and there's no real deaths.

I get what you're saying, but also I think sometimes I see fans of media like tv, movie, comics, games, etc. talk about death as the only worthwhile stake...like any survival, even if it's horrific and painful and full of emotional and physical trauma, is not a real consequence because they're breathing. I don't think death is the only possible way to give a situation stakes, like a binary state.

But I do get that, with Kate coming back, it makes it feel like there are a lot of fake-out deaths. But also, the comic is full of those too lol, from Kate to Eve to Mark himself...I'm not worried because the show is going to have so many big deaths throughout, of major beloved characters, so even if new audiences began to think the show won't kill anyone for real, that might work to it's benefit in shocking them when the big deaths happen and don't get undone, you know?
