I'm starting to think that Nolan and Debbie won't reconcile in the TV Series.

[u/Neurotic_Marauder → u/Slayerzilla54]

I think that will be a much more gradual thing.

The comic kind of had Debbie seemingly forgive Nolan overnight after he came back.

I'm hoping Debbie's increased agency in the show means she'll be more involved going forward, instead of just being blackout drunk and fading into the background.

Sandra Oh has been amazing in the role and I really hope she gets more to work with.

That’s not necessary for the story, given everything else that happens, so I’m fine if they change that. Playing Devil’s Advocate, you can make the argument that Nolan and Debbie getting back together is too easy after what happened, so they could either be changing it so that they don’t get back together or really want to make that a more involved process. We’ll see. Here’s hoping it is good whatever they do. I just hope nothing changes Oliver from being born.

I don't really like how they handled the story line tbh, I would've much rather had her be suspicious and then have her suspicions confirmed when Nolan fights Markl

[u/meatball270 → u/davidngm]

Really loses its punch when she knows before hand

[u/SpaceBaseCannabis → u/meatball270]

Honestly, I disagree. With his his changes in behavior and her suspicions even prior to being confirm are just gonna make the hurtful shit he'll say later hurt even more. It's like seeing the person you love disappear. But that's just my two cents

[u/[deleted] → u/meatball270]

That's what I'm thinking. She had a perfect marriage and then wham your husband tries to Killy our son and says you're at best his pet. No warning. out of the 50 or so changes from the comic I've seen so far the only good one for me is Titan's backstory. Everything else just seems like shit tbh.

[u/DrRadon → u/Slayerzilla54]

Oh, they absolutely will.
The interesting part about Debby is that she dos not give a fuck about Omni-Man.
She is not afraid of the strongest being on the planet, she is pissed at her husband.
Thats were they can come back together. Love and understanding is stronger than fright.

[u/N0_B1g_De4l → u/Slayerzilla54]

I think they probably will, but not until later in Nolan's redemption arc. In the comics, Debbie is a lot shallower of a character than she's being set up to be in the show. I think we'll see a similar overall arc, but more emotionally developed.

[u/GabrielMartinellli → u/Slayerzilla54]

Nah, in fact it makes a lot more sense for her to reconcile with him if she discovers the betrayal on her own rather than coming home one day to see her husband beating her son half to death and calling her a pet on national TV.

Gives her time to prepare herself and come to terms with it.
