In season 1 when Samson didn’t end up in a coma I wondered how they were going to handle the Omnipotus attack, since that attack while Mark was a on Thraxus is what starts the chain of events that eventually leads to Mark and Cecil’s falling out and mutual distrust of each other (but honestly I don’t think Mark could have helped with Omnipotus that much), which is kind of a huge part of the story.
Now I get what the show is doing though:
(Prediction for the next episode/important comic spoilers. read at your own peril)
!It’s now clear they’re going to do the First Sequid Invasion/Lizard League Nuclear Takeover while Mark is away. Mark isn’t super vital for the Sequid storyline at this point (at the very least Immortal or Bulletproof are more than capable stand ins for him). But when Mark comes back Cecil can hit him with the “your job is to protect this planet. If you had been here I wouldn’t have had to devote as many heavy hitters to the Martians and had some more boots on the ground to handle the Lizard League. But because you disobeyed my orders, Rex is in the hospital, and Kate and Rae are dead.”!<
I shouldn’t have doubted. The writers clearly have a handle on things.

There’s no way that’s all contained in a single episode
They’ll probably save the sequid stuff for part 2 since it’s something I think they’d want to devote and episode on, however I do agree with your assessment of the Lizard League’s attack being next episode, there is some weight to your idea, that being the fact that the lizard league vs Guardians of the Globe was in the trailer which was pretty much a trailer for Part 1. I do agree that Shrinking Rae and Dupli-Kate probably die and Part 2 will have Mark dealing with the consequences of his decision to disobey Cecil’s orders.
I agree, I think angstrom will be the end of episode 5, and 6. With the first sequid invasion probably being early episode 7. >!Come to think of it, we may get mark and eve’s first kiss as early as the end of episode 6.!<
u really think Eve, Shapesmith, Bulletproof, Rudy, and Immortal will be present for the lizard league attack? nah man.
Eve will be busy with killcanon as we see in the trailer, for the other guardians they could have them be separated from Rex, Rae, and Kate, although, the entire guardians of the globe and Eve did work together when mark was gone to fight omnipotus so there is a chance they depict that but with the lizard league instead.
I’m not sure if that’s the plan with the sequid invasion, but it makes sense and wouldn’t be a bad idea. The only “important” Mark moment in that arc is >! him deciding to kill the last infected guy!< but he has a half dozen or more similar moral crises in the comic. It kinda becomes the overarching theme of the series. So losing that one’s not a huge deal and >! out of all those moral crises that’s arguably the dumbest one, cause they literally had there backs against the wall and a very short window before they would lose control of the situation!<
Seems like that’s where they’re going. Shame though, I kinda liked Mark’s role in the Sequid mission. It kicked off his romance with Eve, and I liked how he stepped up as leader. It reinforced that the ass kicking he got from Thraxa was forcing him to take himself way more seriously.
Still, narratively I think you’re dead on, and definitely works. It’s also going to make his murder way more spontaneous when/if it happens.
Agreed Plus Mark being there is what led to the Immortal start trusting Mark more than before Making Mark disappear kinda will ruin the story
Idk… the guardians fighting Rus and the sequids without mark just seems… super uninteresting. I really hope that’s in part 2. I hope episode 4 is mostly consumed by the a plot, there’s a lot to cover in the fight, and in Mark’s return to earth and everything.
Honestly, if that’s true. That would make all the footage shown in the trailer be the first half of the season only. Nothing has been shown from the second half.
i don’t think this is true. Mark’s gotta be involved in the Sequid mission. really an important milestone for him. Also tension on the mission after he kisses Eve.
Man Rae is probably going to die next episode and it’s gonna be so sad (to me personally ig) to watch
I don’t think that’s going to happen, to be honest. The amount of stuff that happens on Thraxa should take up the entire episode. Why would they need to rush any of those storylines? Marks falling out with Cecil happens in Issue 50, which is a long way away. They’re only covering events from issue 25-30 at the moment. The finale for season 2 is probably going to be the second Angstrom Levy fight, and the storyline with Eve really starts to kick off then. I think the Sequid ship mission will be episode 6 or 7. Even that seems like a stretch because it doesn’t give a lot of time for Mark’s falling out with Amber, considering they just had sex and probably won’t see each other again until episode 5.
The only thing making me think otherwise is Kirkman claiming “we’re gonna need a break after episode 4”. The stuff on Thraxa is nuts but it’s not enough to warrant this statement
Honestly think they could do that but that would be so much for one episode and then what would they do for S2 part 2?
