Planetos, any Star Wars planet (hell they could overthrow the whole damn Empire), Cyberpunk Earth, and Attack on Titan world off the top of my head

Because he was born in America and that’s what Debbie wanted to name him?

Cringe post please delete

Rex’s last term as world emperor ended with him ordering a genocide due to a personal vendetta. You really want that guy to have absolute power over all of Earth?

Oh yeah if they adapt the cheating part Amber is going to be crucified by the intetnet yet again even though Mark is also guilty of cheating. Kind of hope they don’t adapt that part just to save us from the drama. I like Amber in this season and hope she and Mark can break things off amicably like in the comics, and hopefully she doesn’t become the internet’s punching bag again.

Yeah this is true for the comic as well. Robert Kirkman knows how to write comedy without it taking away from serious moments

What is this culture war bullshit.

Show Amber in season 1 was annoying sure, I think they missed the mark with her character and made her more confrontational and angry than they should have. So far in season 2, however, Amber is much more understanding of Mark’s responsibilities as a superhero and is very kind. I think the writers understand the criticisms of season 1 Amber and have set out to make her more understanding towards Mark which I appreciate. Amber is fine. She’s certainly an improvement over that cardboard girlfriend character she was in the comics.

The fish queen… really? You’re mad that the fish doesn’t want to bang Mark anymore? Who fucking cares. We got a really cool action scene that wasn’t in the comics and a great heroic moment of Mark saving the fish people from annihilation despite Cecil’s orders not to. This also serves to further set up the schism between Mark and Cecil that eventually leads to their conflict later on. We also got a hint about the Viltrumites’ ear weakness earlier on than in the comic… It’s better storytelling.

As for Kate, it’s not much different from the comic? Rex is a cheating asshole and Kate is a cheating asshole, she points out how hypocritical of him it is to be mad about her cheating on him which is completely true. Kate wasn’t exactly a super nice person in the comic either, she was pretty damn rude to Eve on several occassions, and that’s not even including the obvious moment of her fucking Rex.

It sounds like you’re just pissed off that the women in this show have a bit more complexity to them than in the comics and that certain characters such as Amber and Kate aren’t doormats. Idk what else to tell you except grow up

If it wasn’t for that mental block Eve would be the most powerful being in the universe without exaggeration. Even with the mental block her powers are still S++ tier. You could do literally anything with them.

It’s almost definitely gonna be Rex before next season. Can’t wait as Rex is one of my favorites and his backstory is even better than Eve’s IMO

The show is very faithful to the comic but it adds a lot of stuff and changes the order of events around a bit. There are also some changes made to a few characters, mostly minor, but still different.

In my opinion the show is more immediately captivating than the comic and will pull you in more easily. The first arc of the comic can be a little hard to get through as it’s slow-going. So I think the show is better to start with for newcomers as it’s easier to get into.

With that being said, once the comic picks up, it never stops and you won’t be able to put it down. Since you’re familiar with Kirkman’s writing already, you know how good he is at keeping you turning the pages and leaving you begging for more. So if you’re a bit put off by the beginning, I’d recommend just watching the first season of the show then coming back once you’re hooked.

Robot. His character arc is just chef’s kiss. Brilliant character

I feel like and old man complaining about “kids these days” but goddamn since when did everyone’s attention spans just fucking plummet to the point where every episode of a TV show that doesn’t have earth shattering reveals or climactic battles is considered filler? Have people forgotten that you have to have lay ground work and build up to climaxes in order for the big moments to be impactful? I swear if these episodes are considered filler by people I don’t know how you’re supposed to enjoy the majority of shows/books/movies/comics.

All of the best stories have downtime where less big stuff happens and things are more slow, gradually building up to the big payoff moments. I think having constant stimulation from the internet has rotted people’s brains and I hope writers and showrunners don’t listen to people who spew this shit

Shapesmith is a Martian not a sequid. Also it’s reasonable to assume Kate is 18 or 19 given that she was on the Teen Team and was an appropriate partner for Rex. So what Immortal is doing wouldn’t qualify as statutory rape. Still weird I guess but there’s weirder shit in this show trust me

It’s highly likely that she does, she’s a freak for sure.

Would that be considered selfcest or an enhanced masturbation technique?

To Immortal everyone’s too young so why not I guess

Yeah I mean it’s kind of icky but I don’t really care about it. Immortal is kind of a douche in general so it matches his character that he’d bang his 18-20 year old employee. I don’t really care about Immortal or Kate’s character enough to be really offended by it. If Kate’s into him then more power to them. Plus Immortal is like 1000 years old so age gaps aren’t very relevant for him
