You say pity party....He basically reworked Evie into Judith personality wise and made her have a sad backstory like everyone else; absolutely disgusting.
You've got Annie and Ronda's parents living vicariously through them, Mia being physically abused, Judith being bullied, Roxxy having a terrible family, now Evie's parents died tragically and left her emotionally and physically scarred. Christ, what a cliche pity party this is.
I say super hero (or adventurer) origin story.
Seriously show me a Superhero (or adventurer) whose parents aren't dead, they soon will be.
