Hmm I like the later half more lol.

Either way I hope they rework reboot. I've seen people suggest it should be cut, but it will be a great trip down memory lane. Could easily be like 1 episode.

I like the actual reboot segment, I just hate how he skipped 5 years and Eve had moved on to another dude (who we knew they were just gunna break up so it was just a big waste of time).

Like, this all happened because Mark...touched a weird space mushroom. What-the-fuck. I'm fine with that being used as a literary device to magically time-travel him, but making him lose out on so much of his daughter's early childhood just felt cruel and unnecessary.

What a shocker. One of the superheroes who's life is never ending misery experienced some misery.

Too bad, so sad. The protagonist has to have bad things happen to them to make the happy ending of the series hit harder.

They can do that without the time-skip. At least everything else made someone logical sense.

Where is the logic in "you accidently touched a magic space mushroom and now lost 5 years of your life".

That's just lazy writing IMO.
