Thraxans and their parallels to humans:

The comics state that a Thraxan lives for 9 months but make up for this short lifespan by learning fast and forgetting nothing. Basically, a Thraxan newborn can learn how to fix a car then be big enough to apply that knowledge in like 3 weeks. As humans, we are naturally either disgusted by or disinterested in the appearance of insects. We step on them all the time with no regard for their lives because they're so small and finite compared to us. Basically, Mark is put off by the Thraxans for the same reasons Viltrumites are put off by humans; they're an inferior lifeform with short lifespans and strange customs. In the end, Mark quickly accepts the humanity (for lack of a better term) of the Thraxans and defends them same as he would a human. Also(no spoilers) the Thraxans technically end up winning in the end since their species interbreeds with the most powerful alien race in the known universe. Combine a long lifespan with an exquisite memory and you got a powerful combination.

Invincible season 2’s finale strongly hinted at Mark and Eve forming a relationship in the future, yet the Mark didn't tell her about his feelings and it makes sense.

After becoming enraged by Angstrom hurting Debbie, Mark snaps and kills the villain after becoming accustomed to the strength of the Viltrumites. However, this strands Mark in a barren universe until a future version of the Guardians of the Globe eventually saves him. The future version of Eve speaks to Mark before he returns home, telling him that she loves him, meaning the Eve he knows feels the same. Despite her plea to tell his version of Eve that he loves her too, Mark chooses not to and that's okay.

But here's the thing, Mark's mental and emotional state isn't ideal for beginning a relationship with Atom Eve. Of course, Mark wouldn't tell Eve that he loves her primarily because of his recent breakup with Amber. Mark and Amber broke up after being threatened by Anissa herself. Realizing that she will be used as a threat against Mark and that she is not physically durable enough to withstand this, Amber tearfully ends her relationship with Mark.

After his fight with Angstrom, Mark is shown flying above Amber's college campus. He smiles when he sees her, before realizing he should not get too close and flies away, proving that Mark still has lingering feelings for Amber.

As would be the case for everyone, Mark will need time to come to terms with his breakup with Amber before moving on with Eve, explaining why he couldn't just say he loves her. Despite Mark not telling Eve about his feelings in the finale, they'll still get together in the future.

Dad?

ID: A digital drawing of Mark Grayson from Invincible, in his civilian outfit, with a red-tinted sky behind him. He's staring directly at the viewer in shock and growing horror. His eyes are wide and red-rimmed. He has a red-tinted glow about him. Blood has been splattered on his right cheek, a few drops falling off his hair and flowing under his right eye. Large streams of blood splatter in front of him. End ID

Honestly, though I have some issues with how the show handles their relationship, I really do like Mark and Amber together?? Like they got to know each other’s interests (seemingly) before they started dating, they have a similar desire to help people but with differing personalities (Amber’s more direct and outspoken while Mark tends to be more avoidant and soft spoken) that can help balance each other out (and it does!! Amber IS willing to give Mark second chances and Amber inspires Mark to try and take direct action to help those who need it in the city!!).

Yeah, they’re having problems with miscommunication, but I’m seeing people either condemning Amber as a selfish bitch (she’s not selfish for wanting her boyfriend to talk to her?? For wanting to be treated as someone who matters to him?? She’s allowed to want to communicate with him instead of him lying to her??) or Mark as, apparently, as bad as his dad (which - Nolan called Debbie a ‘pet’ and hid the fact he was planning on colonizing and enslaving her planet from her. The lies Mark told were bad, yeah, but are nowhere close to the same level. Istg fandom really can’t have any sympathy for two teenagers of color huh). But like, they both made mistakes, and they’re both trying to make up for it!

Mark definitely should have been more honest with Amber about why he had to keep flaking off things (not even telling her his identity - like maybe just saying something like “I have this thing that I really can’t get away from, and it keeps me really busy, so I will probably have to cancel things at times. I’ll do my best to balance everything, but I’m still figuring stuff out. I’d rather not specify what it is right now, because it’s pretty sensitive for my family, but I’m just letting you know the reason I won’t be able to make things or might not have much time.”) And Amber definitely came off as kind of rude when she yelled at Mark for leaving them despite knowing he was Invincible (which, she really didn’t have to tbh. The scene would’ve been just fine if Mark had told her and she had the same angry reaction), and I can see why people didn’t like it when, even when Mark explained things, she was still mad - but honestly, she’s entitled to be. She probably could have been more understanding about all the weight on Mark’s shoulders, but she has a right to be angry about being lied and stood up for so long, just like Mark has a right to keep his own secrets.

Mark was more at fault, but they both made mistakes - ones that I think they’re definitely going to learn from. Now that Mark and Amber don’t have that ‘secret identity’ wall between them, a huge part of what led to these issues with communication is gone, so they can start working with each other to do that better.

I don’t think they should have gotten together so soon after Episode 8 (after everything Mark went through in that episode... jfc, he needs therapy, not a relationship), but I really want them to be endgame. I think Eve is kind of bland, boring, and predictable, and while I get why people ship them, I think Mark and Amber better compliment each other and can help each other grow.
