I'm hoping the Debbie stuff is a hint at the show nixing a lot of Debbie being a drunken mess following Nolan's betrayal.

She basically became a non-entity for a good chunk of the comic until Oliver went to Earth with Mark.

She basically became a non-entity for a good chunk of the comic until Oliver went to Earth with Mark.

If the rumors about them already having a voice actor for Oliver are true, we're probably going to see him this season, which means that whole chunk of time is going to be basically removed.

I'm curious how they're going to implement Oliver so soon.

It's possible that the cliffhanger for the season is the reveal to the audience that Nolan settled down on the bug planet after leaving Earth, with Oliver shown to be a kid already.

Mark traveling there so soon after his fight with Nolan feels... wrong. Like it would rob the impact of the fight and Nolan's betrayal.
But I guess we'll see. I never thought they'd implement the Reanimen this soon and yet here we are, and they did a pretty damn good job at adapting that story arc too.

I'm more afraid than curious. The show has done some things better, but the pacing is a mess overall.

Debbie is better displayed than she was in the comics, but her and Nolan aren't a loving couple, they are a fight away from divorce, they are the kind of couple that divorce as soon as the kids leave for college. It's just not being done well. Nolan is too unlikable, he wasn't built to be a conflicted character, he's being just an asshole.
