He could never understand what she sacrificed and lost for her powers, and asks her to stop using them. When helping people is the one thing that might bring her some peace.
Also, who just verbally insults their kid all day everyday anytime. It’s like he lives to insult Eve for no reason. I feel as if Eve endured it for so long, was because it’s so small to her and her understanding of the world.
I don’t say parents, because her adopted mom is a victim too. Dealing with her own issues and subject to her husbands personal abuse as well. She could leave, but it could take the voice of some one else or even professionals to realize that.
This back story is such great writing and insight to a major character.
Just wait until the comic scene everyone is referring to lol. You’ll hate him even more. Eve’s dad got one single moment of sympathy from me during the special — when Eve’s parents thought they’d lost her baby, for just a second, I was like “okay so he’s hard about her powers partially out of fear for her safety.” He then proceeded to spend the rest of the special erasing any sympathy I had for him.
Fuck Eve’s dad. He’s such a piece of shit.
I don’t know if they’ll adapt that. I hope they do because Mark being traumatized by it is pretty hilarious. But he doesn’t seem to be quite the same type of asshole as he was in the comics.
