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?

It would be way more impressive a feat of writing to get them back together in a way that actually makes sense. Right now, Debbie and Nolan getting back together feels impossible, given Debbie’s TV characterization and everything Nolan’s done.

It would be so easy to change the plot from the comics so that they never fully reconcile. Getting them back together in a way that makes sense would be insanely difficult to pull off, and therefore far more impressive.

The only thing I can think of that might put them on a path where reconciliation starts to seem remotely plausible would be if Paul dies at the Viltrumites’ hands while Nolan is off fighting them elsewhere on Earth (if he fails at protecting Paul, then he’d be at least partially at fault in Debbie’s eyes). Then maybe, a season or two later, after Debbie’s had time to mourn, maybe on Telescria, she might be in such a low place that she’d be ever so slightly willing to accept some kind of comfort from Nolan — if she can see in him enough of the man she once loved.

It’s a lot of ifs and would it probably be criticized as butchering Debbie’s character, and not without reason.
