I never hated her like a lot of people, it is pretty clear the writers heard the backlash and made very noticeable improvements to her relationship with Mark.

    I don’t think they really cared about a-bunch of reactionary comments, this was most likely always the plan for her character.

    I thought you meant glow up in the physical attraction sense. I was like wtf you talking about, Amber has always been attractive.

    Ya but the way mark called her seemed def out of fear and not cuz he wanted to. With all the stuff he’s dealing with mentally with his dad stuff, what amber did in season 1 prob is still in there not helping affecting his mind too. When they break up I really hope they bring it up cause man I still don’t trust her 😾

    I just binged this stuff for no particular reason and got such whiplash from her. Like, she knows he’s a superhero which is completely fair given the world they live in but she manipulates him into feeling guilt for trying to hide his identity AND save everybody at the university. Then she forgives him because his dad tried to take over the planet. It was the most obvious examples of multiple writers not communicating with each other. Also it’s just fucked that she would lie that she knows he is lying to make him think he is in trouble for abandoning her when he literally didn’t.

      You seem to miss the part where she went to a party and was talking to the guy and was clearly into him. She would have slept with that man if he didn’t mention his girlfriend. She didn’t even tell Mark that the relationship was over before she was looking to get some action with another man

    “Never apologize for saving lives. This is the deal, and I’m good with it. Go.” Such a great line.

    It would’ve made a lot more sense if she had sat mark down to talk about the issue of mistrust instead of smacking him over the head with it and pressuring him into opening up. It was basically an ultimatum with extra steps with NO communication . Basically “I know youre a hero. Youre lying to me about it. Tell me the truth or break up with me if you don’t trust me with that info.” But NONE OF THIS was said in plain language.

    Her character is a completely different person to be honest.

    They really went a full 180 from the first season. I feel the contrast is going to be even more stark watching the seasons back to back.

    The problem is that now she is a completely different character. From a viewing standpoint, it’s incredibly jarring to watch. They should’ve stayed apart and had Mark find someone new if they weren’t ready for her to date you know who yet.

    I don’t have a problem with her actually understanding that she isn’t the only person in the world and mark actually needs to save people but it feels a little forced in my opinion
