I think he’s an ass, but I don’t dislike him. Imagine having lived for tens of thousands of years. Every wife and child you have ever had is long dead, and you cannot even interact with your descendants or anything. He’s seen more death and pain than any of us will ever know, because he’s always been close to the action.
If anything, I feel bad for him. He’s a man who’s been waiting to die for a long, long time. So I can get why he’s a fuckwit sometimes.
This one. The first time I read it (and the scene before, of course) it was awkward, sure, and terrifying, but only theoretically. In my second read through, after it happened to me (not as bad as what happens to Mark, but still), I had to skip the issue with the scene (113? I think.) but I completely forgot about this one. Broke down crying immediately, I had to stop reading for a bit.
Can’t wait for this storyline to be animated, though. I’ll probably give skip the episode regardless, but it needs to be on screen, I think. It would open up a good conversation.
Yeah, I don’t get why people are being so quick to judge here. It’s not like the guy’s continually being an asshole to her over a long period of time anyway, he had a single outburst.
I also think people are assuming he has as much information as we do. I doubt he has any idea about the whole “pet” thing, for one, and he definitely didn’t (until Debbie told him, at least) know that Invincible was her kid. If we spent all this time following him around, we’d probably see Green Ghost die violently and have no idea who did it for a year, until the equivalent of Superman reveals that it was him, beats the everloving fuck out this random kid, kills like tens of thousands of people in an hour and then leaves forevermore.
Not saying his outburst is logically justified, but I get it, if only in that moment. If we’re going to pillory every dumbass who gets unjustifiably angry at any point in their lives, all of us will have eggs on our faces.
