In a lot of ways talk of a Weirdo rebrand reminds me of the way some of the media here in the U.S. praises Donald Trump whenever he manages not to horrify us on a minute to minute basis. He reads a speech off a TelePrompTer without accidentally nuking Maine and somehow he is magically “presidential”.
With Weirdo, her behavior from the beginning was so utterly abhorrent and miserable that when she mostly disappears for a few months and manages to look somewhat less unpleasant (mostly because we can’t see her face clearly) upon her grand return, we assume she’s being rebranded.
I’m not saying that isn’t something Harvey and/or Ben’s delusional PR are attempting but it’s really kind of funny how low the bar was set that basic civility toward her husband looks like a drastic overhaul.
