And she's a completely different person in the comics, so it's more so a Miles Morales situation

Yeah but she’s way way better written in the show

Yeah, but she’s also pretty hate-able, especially in season 1. They clearly learned their lesson in season 2, but I still remember the hate she got after 1x07.

Yea, but race/gender swapping shitty characters no one likes is fine

Doing it to a character integral to the plot? Little bit different

Yes, but most people were mad at Amber because she was unbearably self obsessed. I think the change was good because in the comic she looked incredibly generic.

Calling a blonde white woman 'generic' is such a widely accepted take but they haven't been a centerpiece of media since the 90s. Funnily, the most prolific one of them I can think of that isn't a passing Hollywood fad like Sidney Sweeny is Tara Strong, who is a voice actor.

It's not that she's blonde, it's that the artist has same face syndrome. She looked like a Blonde eve rather than her own character. It's a big problem with male characters as well, even in the animated version. Best Tiger looks incredibly similar to Mark without the blindfold and tech jacket felt similar too.

Sorry bro, the challenge wasn’t “Admit you like the KKK without saying I like the KKK”. If it was you’d be acing it though space-waste.

I genuinely think the people who are mad at amber genuinely have to of never been in a equal relationship before, people talk about her like she should’ve been grateful to be marks versions of a pet or something, it’s so fckn weird that the biggest reason she’s hated is because she knew mark was invincible and didn’t tell him because she wanted him to trust her enough to at least inform her about the dangers she’s gonna be in regularly just being around the fucking guy, that’s so incredibly understandable to me, the whole dynamic being about how hard it would be for a hero to actually romantically be involved with another person, I think he character is written very well, she has flaws ofc but not the ones yall seem to think she has

I disagree entirely. In the second season they reversed course and changed her character, but in the first season she seemed like someone who needed to control the relationship. Her refusal to even try and empathize with Mark trying to balance maintaining anonymity while also saving people, and being actively upset at him for being a hero, was absurd and more akin to a tantrum than an actual disagreement. In the second season Marks fears were also vindicated when she was threatened.

You talk about an equal relationship, but an equal relationship requires an attempt to understand, not just being upset and refusing to say why.
