Eve's dad is actually agood dad and I don't understand the hate. He rejects the money because he doesn't want to use her and he knows greed can spiral, why stop at rent, why not a new nouse, new car, why not become the richest in the world? At that point hed be using his daughter, he wants to have her around because shes her not her powers and him rejecting the gold his way of showing that he wont ever use her for her powers. Also he doesn't want her putting her life at risk for strangers, what good parent would want their kid going out there getting injured/dying fot others. Latest episode he didn't try to stop eve, he recognizes when the world is actually at risk and she is needed.

Is he supposed to just let her use her op powers willy nilly? Let her be owned by hre government on a superhero team so he can die for others. Man just wants her to have a normal life where she can use her powers for herself and stay safe, while shes out here not even using a mask going by her real name. He has to go to the extreme since she goes to extremes in the opposite direction. He balances her out and is why she is well rounded.

Obviously hes not perfect, but mans firt kid died at childbirth before it was replaced with another with super powers that has likely been a constant source of stress/worry since she was a child. He just wants her to outlive him.

No, he is not a good father.

  1. Your entire post is about what he wants for his daughter, not about what she wants. She's an adult woman, not his property. Saying things like "let" her use his power, "let" her be owned, etc. indicates a mindset of control and undermining her autonomy.
  2. Look at his impact on her, not his intentions.

Caring about his daughter is not the same as being a good father, and enabling his behavior is not the same as being a good wife. But both of her parents have shown small indications that they can evolve.

ETA: Not sure why you replied four times to my comment, but I'm talking about his actions right now. I'm not talking about the past.

While I certainly see where you're coming from, I disagree as well. At certain points in the series he outright rejects to his daughter using her powers at all. When Eve moves back in she makes concessions to not use her powers in the house to appease him. While I do think every parent would worry about their kids being involved in super hero stuff, I mean look at Mark's mom, Eve's Dad treats her like shit for just having powers and being weird. As Eve said in the show she just wants them to accept her for who she is, and the powers are a part of that. Think about the time she moved off into the woods and did more stuff for the environment and communities. It was a lot less dangerous than stuff she had done before and her parents didn't seem to be any more approving of her life style.

Argument could be made she knows shes immortal, but uh if that info got out because she was more risky and just let ppl kill her, eventually someone would just kill her in a way that doesnt activate her fight or flight lifting the mental block because theyd be aware of it

Bruh she ran away from home to goto africa/treehouse and only left a note, he was rigthfully mad, im not saying hes perfect, but not a bad dad. Like is instantly folding and catering to what she wants the right move here? He definitely should ignore her, shes about to cuss her dad out in his home, spoiled af.

In the books she goes to africa btw, while they changed that, they didnt change her dads reaction over it, she also is a teenager who runs away from home without a word, ppl just go well she has powers and is helping ppl, thats irrelevant, shes their daughter and not an adult
