…and makes me angry how the plot underutilised her.
As a show only consumer I understand the comic would have a more nuanced character, but the show established a lot of her capabilities in the filler origin story. And the recent episodes show a few things as well.
She can legit turn apple to gold for her father but pats the head of people who lost their home in the city. Gifts them a fucking playground, for real? Yes, the building she built didn’t have solid foundations, but the golden apple was in the trashcan still.
And she could nuke Nolan or Mark into orbit just with the air molecules around them, but no. She makes shields with candy.
So idk what the comics does with her, and I see how she is blocked from manipulating living things. But for fucks sake do some epic shit with her.
If I was Cecil I wouldn’t give two shits about the Guardians and aim to please the literal Philosopher’s Stone woman…
Get real!
If you’re suggesting she should’ve gave the people of Chicago golden apples instead of rebuilding their homes, then that’s a recipe for disaster.
First off, you’d completely flood the gold market, drastically reducing the price of gold.
Secondly, you’d have everyone and their mother chasing you for riches, at quite literally every turn.
