its a show that adds a lot of great stuff and changes things for the better from the comic. the dialogue and new emphasis on Mark's homelife, Nolan being a bit more of a "dad". It makes it feel like its own thing rather than just commentary/parody on other superhero stuff. I like how Mark's mother is more assertive and more of a mother rather than just a woman who weeps in the background, or how William being gay and outwards actually makes him a character thats active in Mark's life rather than just "the gay joke" for the equivalent of 100 issues. The comic had problems. But almost everything with Amber is a shitshow, and the bits and bobs of toxic wokeness strewn in makes me fear for the future of the show. in the comic you have topics like domestic abuse and rape, topics that are complicated as is. but imagine how that will turn out when in the hands of people who cant view the world with nuance. The way they squandered Amber and made her into a narcissitic monster, imagine what else they'll do? changing little things in adaptation always results in large changes later on, and i dont trust the writers to handle it. im reluctantly pessimistic about the future of the show.
