    The point of an adaption is to adapt the story and add to it though. So mark actually landing some hits ain’t a bad thing when you consider the fact that the show has to keep the action going

      He gets some hits in too in the comics, it’s just more clearly a battle he’s undermatched in, like the moment he holds Thula up and hesitates finishing her off never would’ve happened in the comics because when if Mark was fighting to kill he wouldn’t have been able to get to that point unless he fought dirty.

        Ah. That’s fair.

        But counterpoint: the writers could be using that as a way to empathize the arc of this season. He doesn’t want to be like his dad and he clearly has issues with murder. Which is why so many people think the season will end with marks fight with Levy.

        I think it’s a fair trade off

          I’d say it could be a fiar trade of if it wasn’t Thula considering what we see her go onto do makes me question how Mark would’ve done that well. Plus they still had Nolan have the talk with Mark about how he’s fighting adding the idea that Mark needs to fight to kill with him saying he doesn’t which was new.
