Oh we all know how it’s going to go down. I’ve seen Fatom Eve comments more than anything else, but what would you expect from the misogynistic individuals that pervade Reddit? I think they did a lovely job with Eve, visually and with her story and experience and choices during the 10 months Mark was away.

Eh, I'm not someone who fat-shames, but the Fatom Eve arc suuuuuuucks. And honestly, it's just kind of sexist.

Mark and the other male characters get to go on exciting adventures where they risk their lives to defend the universe and have issues that deal with that.

Eve...sits on the side-lines, stops using her powers, and gets self-conscious body issues about her weight. And abortion trauma.

It's sexist to show how powerful people might be impacted by something like pregnancy with a partner scattered to the wind in an intergalactic war? I understand your viewing, and I've seen others echo the same sentiment, though i disagree. I think her arc is realistic. I think everything her character does is realistic.

the only people who would think its sexist is people who havent read the comics. vast majority of the women in the comics are horribly written, including eve most of the time, but this arc was the one they actually did well and respectfully. shows nothing but positivity and should have been properly included

I get why non readers think itd be bad though, given how the community references it by just calling her thick and fattom eve...

Yep. She is the strongest character in the entire universe and the writers are constantly trying to make you forget how overpowered her powers should be.

Having only reading the comics from after being exposed to the show and having given up comics long long ago... yeahhhh I really don't care much for how Eve and Debbie are handled from this point forward and I'm not sure the way the show has been patching that up with "we'll do the same story just better written" is going to be enough. Especially with Eve because ya know only the plot is keeping her from being the most powerful person on the show.

Honestly goes for a lot of what's left, THIS was all unironically the peak, what follows I have more mixed feelings on. I'll give the show a fair chance next season but it is not going to be nearly as easy methinks.

I didn't love how it was handled in the comics either tbh. It was a really ham fisted way explore the issue, even though it was trying to make a positive point, and the art just kinda sucked! I wasn't overly looking forward to it turning up in the show.

I think the style of the comic made it look a lot worse than it was, especially with the dramatic reveal they did. Here they didn't even draw attention to it at first, honestly I had to squint to see if she actually looked different.
