I think they set it up nicely in EP2 with the Cecil backstory.
It's a bit on the nose, but good at showing Mark's conflict on being a hero and always doing the 'correct' thing.
Am so looking forward to this season
spoiler
The fucked up thing is Mark is in the wrong and Cecil is in the right, but Cecil handled it so so poorly. he just HAS to be in control. You telling me the dude has no training on how to disarm a situation like that?At no point did he just sit down and say "Mark, let me explain everything to you. You may not agree with me. I dont expect you to, but my job is to protect the planet. What happens when the Viltrumites come back? Morals dont mean shit if the planet is destroyed."
Oh I agree 100%.
It's the old trope of 'no time to explain, trust me'.
I do think they're trying to setup how Mark is hellbent on being a 180° opposite of his dad, and that's the driving factor behind his decisions.
I have the comic books in compendium format...should probably read them at some point for context.
