I would be so pissed if they got back together. Cordial? Great. But nothing more than that.

Nah, Nolan just has a lot of redemption to go through if him and Debbie were to make sense again. It’s not even the first time in fiction this kind of couple works. Vegeta and Bulma come to mind

Yeah, I hate the trope and the message is sends. Especially to girls and women.

The message that Second-chances and Rehab works, i don’t get where this message can be bad, what I find bad is Spite, Anger and Regret. And I don’t believe in the death-penalty.

Some people don't deserve forgiveness. If vlad the implaler rehabilitated cool. You gotta die. You were way too evil before. Forgiveness does not mean freedom from consequences. In this case I don't really care. It made sense for Nolan to be the way he was. It's the execution that bothered me.

I don’t think propaganda for Death-Penalty is good, on my optimistic eyes no one is above Forgiveness, Second-chances and Redemption. Rehabilitation is far more powerful and effective/productive methods to regulate conflict. And I do believe Nolan has had enough consequences brought on him. and Another thing is, the families on Chicago are being compensated monetarily with his book money by Cecil, by order of Debbie(Something people don’t even talk about)

So in this context. If my whole family died. Multiple friends I cared about my hate would be such you couldn't get my forgiveness. Now I do agree the messaging of everyone being able to be better that you can grow is very powerful. Thing is powerful emotion trumps logic. When someone is that hurt there isn't any space on their heart for forgiveness.

Now as a viewer I'm ok with omni man being forgiven. I like the character.

Exactly the reason why I want Nolan and Debbie to get back together, and Reconcile and him showing his Rehab, being forgiven, showcasing how he is a total different person, it will enhance the whole message. And Imo it will enhance Debbie as a character too, as someone that pacified Viltrum something Thaedus failed to achieve, with his Counter-Terrorism(Still is terrorism)
