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.

    it’s less an evolution and more a feminist spin . because there’s nothing wrong with the way they were before, they already had their own agency .

      Eeeh, ill agree with that in some cases. For example I don’t think it was necessarily a bad creative decision for Debbie to wallow in depression for a while.

      Amber though I think is way way better in the show. She’s basically just a plot device to keep mark and eve from getting together for a long time. She doesn’t even have any dialogue until around where season 2 of the show starts. Then she’s basically just “Mark’s girlfriend” for a long time. “Feminist” or no, she’s a much more well developed character in the show.
