Community rules:
  1. Be nice to each other - we're all fans of the same thing. Let's celebrate that, even if we have differences!
  2. Comic and TV show spoilers must be tagged as such, ideally by starting the title with [SPOILERS]. Show spoilers must be tagged while it’s been less than a week since the episode aired. Let’s allow everyone to feel the same surprise we felt when experiencing this amazing world for the first time!
  3. Don't spoil people in a way they can't circumvent - that means no mentions in post titles/comments outside spoiler threads for:
    • comics spoilers about something that hasn't happened in the show
    • TV show spoilers if it's been less than a week since the episode aired
  4. Anything else: post as much as you want!

I'll get started: can't exactly say why, but I freaking love Debbie. She might be my favorite "mom" type character in any show I've seen, honestly her interactions with Mark were what initially kept me interested in the show (especially the backyard scene).

Though she's of course not much of a character in the comics. It's much harder for me to pick a character there, but it'd have to be either Nolan, or

Comics spoilersDinosaurus. Such an interesting concept for a character, and such a tragic end to both him and his human side.

Yeah, TV Deborah is faaaar more heroic and grounded than a lot of characters, I’m sure it’s intentional

spoilerAnd we'll mourn her death far greater.
The way she empathizes and grew 3 kids by herself, absolutely heroic. She's the Mom that stepped up.

Regarding your spoiler:

Comics spoilerOh god, please don't change it from the comics. She must survive!

spoilerIt was extremely foreshadowed in S3E07, during the 3 Evil Invincibles comment “missing their Moms.” It'll be far more impacting either this next season, or much later.

Comics spoilerI understood that more as their moms deaths being a catalyst for their heel turn. I really hope they won't go this way - it would break my heart, and it would mean we won't get a bunch of my favorite comics scenes, namely Nolan and Debbie annoying everyone with their loud sex :D

I agree with you, especially your spoilered character. One of the better explorations of utilitarianism I've seen.
