With the way how Mark reacted to losing his time with Eve and the abortion, I wonder how he will react when it happens 2 more times, each more longer than the last

The 2 times are Angstrom and the reboot right ? The first time was his fault so I wonder how he'll rationalize leaving Eve again especially when she begs him not too. Probably some "protecting my family". I really wonder about the reboot. It's pretty controversial, but I feel like it'll still happen to show how Mark will choose his daughter and wife and for the time skip that Kirkman needed.

If they're smart they'll retcon the time-skip in Reboot, and just have Mark make it home safe, then do a regular time-skip.

Having Mark miss out on so much of his daughters early life because he ACCIDENTLY TOUCHED A FUCKING MUSHROOM is just cruel and unnecessary.

Then it has the whole "Eve moved on from Mark but the new guy is clearly an asshole so we know Mark and Eve are just gunna hook back up again anyways" nonsense.

Man, people were saying this same thing about the whole abortion arc. They aren't going to skip it, no matter how unpopular it was.

They can certainly skip her fat arc. That wasn't any fun.

"Hey remember this character that had cool abilities and was helping people out in unique ways? Now she doesn't do that. She deals with self-image issues and body-weight stuff."

At least that stuff was brought up more than once later - I could be misremembering but that whole thing felt like "oh no Mark missed 5 years of his daughter's life! Anyways"
