While Art says it a little too bluntly for my taste later in the episode, I really like how this scene shows how strong Debbie truly is
Both Nolan and Debbie are at the lowest points of their life, and contemplating suicide. The difference being Nolan was ACTUALLY going to do it, the only reason he didn’t was because an outside influence gave him a purpose again.
Debbie, on her own, decided to push on with life. Nolan may be powerful, but Debbie was the strong one in the relationship.
and this reinforces why nolan still continued to kill the guardians at the start even though WE know 100% that he cared about all of them, mark, debbie, and art too
and because of his emotional/mental weakness, he was still susceptible to the Viltrumite culture.
hell he was weak enough to be susceptible to Earth Culture in the first place.
Don’t get me wrong, just because it was too blunt for me doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great scene. When someone is as depressed as Debbie, you should 100% be as encouraging as Art was. Art NEEDED to be blunt in that scene, it’s why he actually got through to Debbie. He spelled out exactly why Debbie shouldn’t be so hard on herself, because Debbie needed to hear it.

Debbie is literally a Chad. She didn’t deserve any of this. Strongest character in this entire series.
Art saying she never needed that “bum” was amazing
