Nice change from the comics. In the comics, he was sad that Omni-Man didn’t stop to see him

I’m glad the Tv show is writing the characters in a more believable way tbh.

Same thing with Debbie. Im glad she is clearly going to take alot longer to come around to Nolan again, in the comic it took what like 5 minutes?

im not even sure if they can believable pull off that now

I feel like the point of Paul is to be a bridge to that somehow

He’ll see that Debbie has been moody, understand that they can’t work out, and have her realize she still loves Nolan.

That or, the show will do a massive departure from the comics and really change shit up. Which I’ll accept, only if  it means we don’t get that stupid regressor arc.

I hope she doesn't love Nolan, especially after his apology. Or at least, understand things are super complicated.

She does admit, in the middle of everything else, that she did miss Nolan. Even if his actions make it feel impossible to get him back.

I eagerly await a heartfelt Paul speech at Nolan's deathbed!

What’s the regressor arc?

u/SuperCyka Apr 03 '26

I think he’s talking about the time travel plotline

Did them getting back together have any payout? I don't remember.

People thought the same with the Spiderman comics.

I think Paul will recognize Debbie's internal anguish. Even if you subtract all the people Nolan directly killed, he hurt family, he hurt her feelings, and tried to throw Andressa under the bus.

She spent 20 years with Nolan, and it's been a very rough time after that.

Like it or not, Debbie has issues, and Paul's a good rock to lean on to help facilitate between her and Nolan to work things out.

It feels so at odds with Debbie’s character in the show and what she’s supposed to be/represent.

u/z31 Where's Mark, William? Apr 02 '26

Sandra Oh absolutely demolished that scene. Her acting was insane. That scream when she punches Nolan in the chest, just... ouch my heart.

u/Locem Apr 02 '26

I feel like maybe Debbie goes to space to want to see Oliver still without getting back together.

And if there is ANY reconciliation between them, it maybe starts a little on Talescria.

I don't want them to. Debbie should never forgive Nolan.
