This is supposed to be an action adventure cartoon super hero series not a damn soap opera. I dont care about mark moving in to college, to watch him awkwardly bang his gf or >!Debbie going to therapy!<. I saw the writers of young justice do the same shit to that show and it killed the series, ffs i wish people who wanted to write soaps would just write soaps and stop trying to bring these elements into everything else.
You can have slower moments in shows like this but they need to be earnt and they need to be the exception, this episode felt like 80% slice of life filler.
How did it feel like 80% filler when about 50% of it was Allen, unless you count that as part of the soap opera.Also the last 15% was seance dog/omniman setup. For me only 35% was “soap opera”.
I get where you’re coming from but most the stuff was earnt. Marks school life was always apart of the show. You said you read the comics so you’ve also got to remember this point of the comic was literally called family ties and was more chill. Debbie going to therapy is just showing us a her downfall, in the comics at this point she was just a useless and annoying drunk.
