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.
As someone who hasn’t read the comics, I’ve liked all of these characters, and I see zero issues with how much screen time Debbie receives. I think it’s just a case of it being different not necessarily meaning it’s bad.
