748052, I’ve got a problem with this idea of “lazy”

Partially because they did set up that those two people have bad, uh, blood between them.

But also because we ultimately only have the Roy perspective of that relationship, and the show is ending VERY soon. So, sure, there’s not the depth/nuance to it you might want, but it’s not like Ebba is treated like a girlfriend one episode then emotionally abused the next. That’s how we meet her.

Also, during that party we do see her and Mattson hanging casually before and after the big show, so it could all prove to be some whackadoo theater. Even India.

I hate that true crime and Marvel has turned most people into true detectives so I’m not trying to get clever points here, but I think at the very least this show has proven to care about its details enough that, at least for me, I bought that she either felt disrespected enough to casually share some shit (especially adding weed and alcohol to the decision making) or, comms director that she is, made a play we don’t know the result of yet.

Either way, again, the show has enough of a track record I think “lazy” is far from appropriate.
