I kind of dislike how MC and Sinclair’s relationship is being depicted as so intense and all consuming that their children are neglected and mistreated. Just rubs me the wrong way. Apparently Sinclair treats the kids as competition, and MC is really insensitive in how he compares them. They mentioned that they were essentially chucked out of the house by Sinclair as soon as they became adults and Martin was just ok with that. It seems like all of the kids really adore Martin and try to make loving gestures towards him, to which he just compares whatever it is to a better version that Sinclair did/made/bought.
They’re not depicted as having trauma, but it would be absolutely brutal to have every gift, favor, and surprise made towards someone you love constantly degraded by that person. Even if your spouse got you a better and more expensive watch, you don’t have to say that to your kid right as they’re giving you something they picked out for you. The entire dynamic is way off.
