I feel bad for Amber. She almost had her spine ripped out MK style just because. This isn’t a game.

She’s been nothing but understanding. Dealt with Mark leaving weeks to months at a time. Covers for him. And when she finally gets quality time with her bf; Anissa almost yanks her head off for funzies. There’s no winning at this point.

"She's been nothing but understanding" is interesting, it's odd she just, *completely* dropped her stance from S1E7. I swear she was swapped with an imposter that episode cause she hasn't acted anything like that since. Like, she really has been understanding, she recognises her situation, etc, normal people stuff.

honestly yeah, like i dont mind her post s1e7 personality, but the switchup from before to after has been rubbing me the wrong way the whole time

yeah seems fake like she completely changed her character and lives now only to date mark. i think it actually took away from her character. she was annoying in season 1 but at least she had a bit of backbone. now she basically only existed to be marks girlfriend

u/IllumiNoEye_Gaming Cecil Stedman Mar 28 '24

i think you hit the nail on the head lol. its funny too, because the whole breakup is about her wanting to matter and have agency, but with mark she feels useless

but then she literally didn't matter without mark existing.

i liked a lot of the scenes with her in it but yeah, as a character shes kinda hollow

u/Vegetable_Tear3941 Mark and Eve Mar 28 '24

yeah she is a cardboard of a character and could have been replaced with literally any girl. but I think this relationship was maybe really more meant to be a representation of marks normal teeange life slowly falling apart

u/IllumiNoEye_Gaming Cecil Stedman Mar 28 '24

agreed, she wasnt as much a character as she was a representation which is why i loved her scenes but couldn't give a flyin fuck about her herself

That’s the crux of the issue & what she came to realize. Amber’s only human like us, there’s nothing she can do except be Mark’s gf.

None of us want to watch Amber’s college life because it’s boring compared to Mark fighting aliens & stuff.

She could start drama about it like in S1 but why? Mark is literally saving the world. She gotta eat that.

I’m glad she isn’t like Mary Jane. Who adds herself into the mix, exposing herself to danger because she wants to be useful lmao.

Not really she still does things on her own, and went through a lot while Mark was gone, made new friends,we just don't see them as much. Which is kinda the point of why they don't work

She didn't really change much necessarily, she was pretty understanding of him constantly being late for a while. Now that she knows why a d they talked about it she's even more understanding
