This trifling, immature ho needs to git. She knew about Mark's powers and still gave him shit while he was off saving thousands, potentially millions, of lives. Rather than confront him she played it out like a game while he was being an otherwise perfect boyfriend.

Now he has his ass handed to him and she shows up on his doorstep, KISSES HIM, then brags about how smart she is. Then she cops an attitude over Eve and Mark's friend knowing he's Invincible. Like it was knowledge exclusively for her. I cannot stand this chick. Mark needs to get with Eve and kick Amber to the curb, hard.

I actually thought that was a hilarious twist. I was really annoyed all through episode 6 as they dragged out the will he tell her, wont he thing, so it was kind of hilarious to have my ass pulled out from under me when at the start of the next episode she reveals she knew the whole time.

It makes her a completely manipulative asshole, though.

True, but the twist restored my faith in the shows writing. It would have been incredibly generic otherwise.

I have to rewatch the finale though, I was kinda drunk and dont even really remember her scenes that you described in the OP.

Yeah, she sucks. It's almost like she doesn't understand why secret identities exist.
She was even bitching at the soup kitchen, WHILE SHE KNEW. Or at least claimed to know. Mark had his abdomen burst open and still made a point to be a good boyfriend but she kept being an asshole regardless.

She claims to be so smart but can't even recognize that Eve is a super. She's horrible.

The whole point is that he was a terrible boyfriend. The whole time. From the beginning. Everyone in the show agrees with that. He was extremely flaky and was constantly telling obvious lies, that were made even worse once she knew that he was lying.

Alright, 90% of that was right; I dont like Amber. She knew he was Invincible and said nothing, expecting him to give up literally his biggest secret ever to his GF of a few months? Like... selfish much?

Shes a bad character, and should get killed like someone on the subway.

BUT she is a grounding mechanism for Mark, and important to his character arc. I just cant wait for him to dump her ass.

idk if she necessarily knew Mark was Invincible the whole time, but that something just clicked for her somewhere along the way

like, I feel she had suspicions something more was going on, and that she had things confirmed for her during the cyborg attack at the college.

Why? Did you forget to watch episode 7 where Mark spent most of his time complaining to both his gay friend (can't remember the dude's name) and Atom Eve without getting sympathy from either of them? I don't like Amber either and I think she was being unfair, but the show seems to think Mark wasn't doing a great job either.

Mark doesn't really have a reference for how to have a real relationship with someone.

That's fair, but I personally think she is. Because of her he got more confident and began to understand the balance between heroism and social life.

It's an opinion, not a fact. But I think she is important to his character arc.

I'm kinda surprised that neither Amber nor William died by the end of the season. I was so sure William in particular would die because he was just absent for half the season.

I think him getting superpowers had a lot more to do with his confidence levels. He isn't even bothered by Eve, despite her being a bombshell.

Agree to disagree; but I think he still lacked *that kind of* confidence until Amber forced William to pass the phone number along. Then comes the whole "Fuck. How do I keep a GF AND be a hero!?!" Arc. Without her your left with "How do I be a hero and not... blow off school?". With Eve you avoid the major issue of avoiding social/recreational work with no explanation because shes a hero too. S1 is supposed to he his learning curve.

When they're talking in his car outside the burger place William literally says the exact words "But you were a terrible boyfriend to Amber, and you got what you deserved. Sorry, not sorry." Then, when he's talking to Eve and says that she's the one who told him not to tell Amber he's Invincible, she says "Yeah, but I didn't tell you to string her along for five months while being an asshole about it."

These people must have been watching an alternate version of the show. The characters literally say out loud he's a bad boyfriend. Mark himself agrees and I'm pretty sure he says "I'm a terrible boyfriend" out loud as well.

Even if Marks a terrible boyfriend, that doesnt absolve Amber of her bitchiness.

Claiming she knew for weeks doesnt make her better.

The question being asked is whether Mark serving a higher purpose and responsibility is worth risking his relationship. Also Mark being a bad boyfriend doesn't mean Amber is a good girlfriend.

People asked where Mark's friends said that he was a bad boyfriend because they were trying to say it flat out didn't happen, so it's definitely a question now whether or not it was in the OP. They absolutely did, in very direct and plain terms.

Amber gives him chance after chance after chance to show up and be a part of her life, he fails repeatedly and gives shitty excuses. She doesn't know he's Invincible from the start, but figures it out down the line. By the time he comes clean, it's way too late to repair the damage that's been done. He wasn't ready for a relationship and should have stopped stringing her along (or come up with better excuses) a while ago. He couldn't really have known this, but that's still the reality of the situation. Sometimes things just don't work out, even when you try your best.
How was she "a bitch"? Her reaction in the finale is awkward, almost out of character, but the whole world just had a 9/11-level event. All of her actions before that were fair and consistent.

Yes shes a bad girlfriend, she understands the context and gravity of his responsibility but is focused solely on how she feels. The mindgames show us that she isn't mature enough for a relationship either.

William and Amber didn't recognize Eve as being Atom Eve because they didn't give a shit about Atom Eve. An analogy I saw someone make is that it's like football. Omniman and the Guardians are Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, standout icons that the average person will know. The Teen Team are a college team. A fan might recognize who's on the team, but the average person's going to have no idea. That's why William mixes her up with Dupli-Kate, one of the team members who just "went pro."

And I think I kind of like that both Mark and Amber are wrong. It's a petty teenage relationship and they're both doing petty teenage shit.
