I fucking hate the dispatch Fandom for how they treat invisigal. Yes she does surprise kiss Robert it that one scene, but other characters in this game have done and do much worse. You can't take one character from the game about redeeming people and decide she's not allowed to be redeemed. Everyone on the z- team is a little immature and vulgar, what makes visi any different. She makes an impulsive decision to take what she wants, this is an important part of her ark. You don't get to rip her autonomy away because of that. She deserves the same leeway every other character in the game gets. Malevola gropes Roberts balls, flambae tries to kill him, all the villain characters make sex jokes. When visi mentions having seen Robert naked, prism goads her on. And yet none of these characters get the same hate filled treatment as invisigal. There are a lot of factors that could be contributing to this mainly the inherent misogyny of Fandom. Invisigal is a flawed female character at the forefront of a story and half the people engaging in the story want to replace her with a different (and "coincidentally" male) character, strip her of her agency or maturity or even her disability (because, in case you've forgotten after being told point blank in episode 2, she canonically has ADHD, a mental disability) or some other aspect of her story to make her more "palatable". Check your biases dispatch Fandom, please.

Feel like I’m going insane every time I see someone hating on Invisigal.
I have yet to see people genuinely argue against her. So many of peoples' arguments boil down to her being difficult and not redeeming herself in a pleasant or linear way. Or accusing her of never even trying to change, even though she spends the entire game acting against her instincts TO CHANGE in any meaningful way.
Just because she's changing and becoming better in a slow, abnormal, and oftentimes painful way, does not mean she is a bad character that deserves to be hated or shunned. She is one of the most compelling characters in the game BECAUSE crafting her into a hero is just, not easy. You can't force it and even setting her on the right path is just, inherently not easy. Even though she very clearly wants to be a better person she can't just decide to make it easy on the people around her.

I've been thinking about Invisigal.
[Analysis of my annoyance with the authors below]
I hear what you're saying, but here's some things to understand here. Her kiss with Robert was out of desperation. She probably thought that was the last time she was gonna see him and she needed to know whether she liked him back and if you pull away she seems to regret it (also it's worth noting that the kiss doesn't always happen depending on your choices like if you outright say your done with her after she confesses to putting a bomb on you so she definitely knows when not to kiss someone). Also, forcefully kissing crushes has been a thing in media since forever, I'm not sure why people are making a big deal out of it when Visi does it.
As for her treating her powers as "villain powers" like uh...YEAH OF COURSE SHE'D THINK THAT WAY! When normal people think about the benefits of invisibility they'll probably think more about the sketchy ones than the "heroic" ones because let's face it, invisibility is one of the most sketchiest powers to have to no matter how you look at it.
Also I'm not sure what you mean by "deserved more development" I say she got plenty. She started as a bitchy ex-villain who disobeyed orders to literally taking a bullet for Robert to save him. After placing a bomb on Robert she'd been doing everything she could to make up for it. Even going as far as trying to get the Astral Pulse on her own, which Robert lost because of her.
Also I would argue that Robert would date Visi. While sure, he can be seen as more "mature" than Visi he can also be pretty immature as well. Whenever she makes crude jokes with Robert he matches her energy even without you picking any dialog options for him. And there's no denying they're cute together, I mean just look at their movie date seen.
All of this to say that I don't necessarily think AdHoc did a bad job of writing her character. Though you're free to disagree with me and point out any holes in my argument. Or if anyone could add on to mine because I'm sure I probably missed something.

as a multishipper, i really don't get people who ship flambert (their mentality, not the ship) but then turn around and shit on courtney and invisimech altogether. like flambae is genuinely a terrible person before becoming cool with robert, yet invisigal literally gets called a fucking rapist and a sexual assaulter?? like hello did we play the same game?? he punched robert, mocked him and terrorized him. but that's okay. apparently.
i don't throw around the word puritan because it's been run to the ground by people, but i genuinely think people can't handle the idea of a sudden kiss, or a woman NOT being stereotypically girly around her crush, and being more blunt with her emotions.

The pressure of being a superhero
Honestly, I just wanted an escuse to draw Mandy working out.
At the same time, I believe that she's struggeling without her amulet and not being Blond Blazer. She's tied her entire identity around Blazer, it's hard to accept not being her, even if it's temporary.
When it comes to her missing strength, she keeps Mandy to the same standard as Blond Blazer - which inevitably doesn't work out (no shit).
Resulting in her passing out in the gym during work outs from over exhaustion more than once.
At least she's always in good hands if someone finds her before she wakes up - even if there is some shitty ''blackmail'' on someone's phone later.

we don't talk enough about the "can you just be normal for like a second?" line in the movie date scene. because yes it's lighthearted and humorous, but it's also Robert giving Courtney both the permission and safety to let down her walls. like he knows her bluntness and sex jokes are just bravado, a way to protect herself, make things light when she's feeling something intense. and the way she responds is everything, a moment of quiet, a moment of relief, and then she goes to tell him "this is nice". because he's given her space to not have to prove anything or show off, or be scared, the silence in his company is comfortable.
