I just finished season 1, and I’m honestly pretty confused about something.
At what point was Amber being a bad girlfriend? If anything, it was Mark who was a pretty shitty partner during their relationship.
‘’Oh, but she acted like she was more important than saving the world !!!’’ No??? She was not upset at Mark for being a superhero. She was upset at Mark for constantly showing up late (or just not showing up at all) whenever they made plans, and ESPECIALLY for being dishonest with her about the reason behind this.
‘’Oh, but you can’t expect Mark to tell her about his superhero identity !!!’’ Okay, but you can’t expect Amber to not get upset whenever Mark ghosts her for the 10000000000th time either, especially after she gave him so many chances to correct that behavior or atleast explain it to her. She didn’t know that her boyfriend was being a superhero, she only thought that he was disinterested in her and their relationship.
She agreed to date Mark Grayson, not Invincible. If he knew that he couldn’t manage his superhero life and his romantic life at the same time, then he shouldn’t have asked her for another chance over and over again. There was a consistent pattern all throughout the season of him dismissing their relationship, Amber getting rightfully upset and breaking up with him, Mark trying to get back with her with gifts and false promises of being better, and her taking him back all while he never changes his behavior.
I honestly do not get the hate that the fandom has against Amber.
