I don't love that Cecil knows already. Some of his shadier shit later on feels like it was founded on the whiplash of getting fucked over by the heel turn. If he knows all along it seems like he should approach things with a little less zeal.

Not commenting on whether or not it's a good change. However, it's revealed in the comics, in a later flashback that fleshes out Cecil's backstory a little more, that Cecil always knew that Omni Man couldn't be trusted and was lying when he said he was sent to help earth. The shadier stuff that Cecil does is based on his experiences losing his face in a much earlier encounter. By the time our story starts with Mark, Cecil is already ruthlessly practical when it comes to metahuman matters and protecting earth.

In the comics he always knew in a way, the show can just lay the ground better with more subtlety.

Nah Cecil was always gonna be shady. Don’t forget when Nolan originally touched down to earth they interrogated him and realized he was lying about his and Viltrum’s benevolence but rolled with it anyway since it was useful at the time.
