  • To address your uncomfortability, I believe that’s the point. It’s not supposed to be a good relationship and will likely have problems later down the line.

    To everyone else here saying it’s alright cause they’re both adults and that Immortal would never date anyone if he took age gaps into account, y’all are forgetting about mental maturity.

    18 year olds are legal adults. But the brain doesn’t fully develop until 25. And they can’t even legally drink yet. Kate was part of a group called the Teen Team just a few months before joining the Guardians of the Globe. At most she probably just got to legal drinking age. Are y’all telling me you’ve never been creeped out by 30+ year old men going to college campuses and hitting on the sophmores/juniors?

    But anyway, Immortal could still date a little fucking higher than early 20s. There are plenty of 30+ year old women who have more life experience and also aren’t his subordinates.



  • Honestly something really weird that I notice a lot is that people are almost never forgiving of rape by fictional characters but it’s gotten forgiven a lot by people in real life.

    The most obvious example I can think of is when women teachers do it, but then again that also goes into your point about women typically being forgiven more than men for that kinda thing.

    But then you have cases like Mike Tyson, who did many other things along with rape (such as numerous cases of assault and even biting part of an ear off) but almost no one talks about it and he still gets work. Like I had no idea about those things until I saw his Wikipedia page. It’s really fucking bizarre to me sometimes


  • I’m pretty sure the Immortal and Dupli-Kate thing is gonna be shown to be bad in the long run. Just cause the characters are doing something doesn’t mean the show is advocating for it. Same for the Robot and Monster Girl stuff. The point is that it’s messed to hell up and we’ll likely see how it plays out over this season or the next at least.

    But in any case with your other point, all superhero media is like that. One second you have a raccoon trying to buy an arm from a war veteran, next half the universe is genocided.
