They’ve really added a lot agency to most of the female characters from the comics to the show;
Eve leaving home before graduation.
Debbie already being a real estate agent.
Telia being a general in the coalition instead of just Allen’s partner.
The Atlantean Queen not wanting to marry Mark and already leading without her husband.
Amber learning on her own and being okay with Mark’s long absences.
Considering where Eve and Debbie go I think it’s just a case of moving that development forward whilst showing it more in the spotlight, making the show less about being from mostly Mark’s perspective.
Change with Telia and the Atlanteans were pretty different. I can see the later being still inconsequential but the former with her high ranking would make you think she’d me more involved down the line. Hell she’ll probably be part of the rip-off star trek crew now.
