  • Honestly, I vastly prefer this version of Eve’s dad to the comics’ version.

    In the comics, he was just ludicrously sexist to the point where it was extremely uncomfortable/unsettling. In the show, him being a blue-collar construction worker who eventually works a minimum-wage job who feels threatened by superheroes’ unbelievable powers makes him a bit more… I don’t want to say sympathetic since the dude’s still a colossal asshat, through and through, but maybe believable? Like, he’s absolutely an asshat and he’s absolutely in the wrong, but I feel like his prejudices are a lot more understandable considering superheroes and their antics have genuinely given construction workers a lot of problems in this universe.

    I dunno; I vastly prefer this characterization for him. There’s still probably gonna be plenty of room for him to be extremely sexist later on in the show’s run, but I kinda like how they kept him deplorable without keeping him gross.
