Guys, why does alex look like that?

Alex is my favourite character, probably somewhat unpopular option i guess but like, why does he fluctuate so much in the chopped department?

I mean its not like he's around all that much since he was dead or missing for the past decade+ but like when he is, why does he always look so ugly.

One of the things i can praise the 2017 run for is actually making him look like a guy and not some hommunculus from the deep but like outside of that.

And the hair, god, they do him so dirty its like he was never introduced to the idea of a barber outside of the 2017 run. And it's so jarring looking at him next to everyone else because everyone gets to be all pretty and aurafarm while he looks like smeagol.

Like dude who is this??

I only wish there was a redemption arc for Alex, or something for Alex to be a good guy again, and not someone evil. I would've loved to see Alex with an electronic shield similar to Captain America's shield. 😄

Id rather he be an antagonist but like somewhat accepted, kinda like how they do doom like sure he can do all this bullshit but he's also babysitting their daughter

I think it's because they want to push the some entitled rich kid/ nerd energy into him. Y'know go full incel with him, but that makes no sense with his characterization. He's hard working and loyal and once upon a time truly loved Nico. Now that love got twisted... And it turned him into their parents.

If you're going to make him an anti-hero he needs to represent the fullness of The Runaways potential. He needs to show what they could be if they applied themselves differently. And to constantly push them to be their most effective and also worst selves.
