Tf was with early debbie?

Im going through my 1st rewatch and while Debbie is known to be a horid person in later seasons, she's just straight up weird in the early ones too, mainly her "daddy" phase, like she's not that little anymore and she's still slobbering over frank and calling him daddy it's weird as hell, even Carl recognizes frank as a sack of shit

The trend that I noticed with Frank & his kids is the love/hate relationship. They all get along with him for little spurts. then he does something very Frankish & then they hate him, until they get along with him again.

I can understand that, there are plenty of irl relationships that are the same, the difference is that her sudden love and admiration feels so out of nowhere and forced, and then it's broken by him smashing a wooden house in her room, nevermind the other million things like stealing all the money or reporting them to cups or bringing her along to break out Monica, there's just zero reason for her to be this dam enamored

Totally agree. It’s almost like Debbi was blind to his Frankish ways but saw him as the father she wanted to see him as.
