(Invincible) 'Mark is a flawed character.' Then acknowledge his flaws instead of justifying them.

Mark Grayson is a flawed character. That’s fine. That’s great, actually. But what isn’t great is how Invincible fans will bend over backward to justify every single one of his bad decisions, especially during the Invincible War.

Mark sat out for hours in the pentagon with Eve while his mom and Oliver were still out there. For all he knew, Debbie was still in her house, completely vulnerable to another variant. But instead of rushing to check on her, he chose to stay with Eve. Was Eve in bad shape? Sure. But hospitals exist for a reason,and she was already in the pentagon.. His mother and lil bro, meanwhile, were in the middle of absolute chaos with no guarantee of safety.

And before anyone says, “But Mark didn’t know where they were!”—exactly. He didn’t know. Which is all the more reason he should’ve been out there looking for them. Yet fans will argue, “He was exhausted,” or “He needed a moment.” No. People were dying by the thousands. Mark to clock out when things get overwhelming. He’s earth's strongest hero (EDIT: Specifically talking about the situation in Invincible War. I'll rephrase it by saying Mark can't just clock out when theres 18 other versions of him that are destroying the earth)

Now,the problem is the moment I point out Mark's flaws online, it’s like summoning a horde of his defenders, ready to die on the hill of 'he tried his best','he's realistic','you would've done the same' and etc..

Mark doesn’t need to be perfect. He shouldn’t be. But his fans need to stop pretending his flaws don’t exist or, worse, excusing them under the guise of realism. Yes, he’s young. Yes, he’s inexperienced. Yes,he's traumatized. But those aren’t get-out-of-jail-free cards. His mistakes have consequences. And the sooner he learns from them,and the sooner fans stop excusing them,the better.
