I see a lot of people hating on Eve’s dad, and rightfully so. He’s bigoted, aggressive and extremely dismissive of Eve’s powers and feelings. He also is just an overall dick….BUT he did make a point when he said this. Eve sometimes rushes to help without fully understand the context of situation since her powers are so busted and wide-ranging. So far that hasn’t been a huge issue, at least that we’ve seen on screen, but last week’s episode showed us the negative repercussions of her actions. So as it stands, Eve’s dad is wrong 99% of the time, but right on this rare instance. What do y’all think?
I definitely saw the outcome happening from her rebuilding the way she did. Only I thought it was going to be some sort of “shoddy” craftsmanship rather than unstable ground.
to be fair, we’ve never seen any issues with things created using eve’s powers before, structurally, it’d all be sound, but the land itself was unfit for building (though if she’d known that she probably could have fixed that too, let’s be honest)
She knows molecular structure instictively. Building structures are another ballpark
Yeah, golden apples are easy, but structural integrity of a building takes years of engineering.
I mean, as long as she’s only patching holes and matching it exactly to the things around it, it should be fine. Making a whole new building altogether would be a different story.
For the building that got caved, just following the pattern and uncracking the mortar/blocks+ support joists should do it just fine. It’s not like it super matters for fire rating or the such, brick doesn’t really care for that, and the wall that got caved was exterior and not adjoining another structure, so it probably only needs 1 hour rating and an exterior brick wall for a building that tall is probably somewhere in the range of a foot thick or fire rated for 10 hours.
I like your magic words, funny engineer man
Not those big bucks only small construction man bucks.
“How am I supposed to know that’s up to code?”
It’s a good sentiment.
But so is “Why wasn’t the lot cordoned off if it was so dangerous?” Or “Why isn’t the city government trying to see if Eve’s work IS up to code”
I had this thought as Mark was pulling up the wave to put out the fire for the firemen in S02E01. Like…why don’t you fly down there to the guy in charge, ask him if you can help, offer to create this wave and if he says yes, do it. But not, if he disagrees. He’s the man in charge, not Mark.
Yeah apparently eve doesn’t need higher education because she already has a PhD in civil engineering
