Season 2 had to tangle with critical plot holes Season 1 did not. Here's the biggest one.

!The Atom Eve special established that Atom Eve is a weaker Doc Manhattan - relative to every other character in the show, she's functionally omnipotent. The only way to have plot survive contact with that is the Doc Manhattan solution, i.e. giving your deity some variant on apathy so they choose not to intervene. Eve has a smidge of this from her willingness to kowtow to her abusive anti-supe father, but not enough - S2 still has her trying and failing to solve problems, which is quite simply no longer believable.!<

I sorta agree, as far as powers go I'm a little less stringent on how they get used or power scaling. But they show her still upset about what she did in Chicago. I get the sense she's still hesitant to use her abilities. We also see her struggle to hold a shield for very long both in space and in the ship against the hive mind. I wonder how much of it is she's just out of the game while she's upset at herself in Chicago.

It wasn't until Rex talked to her that I think we saw her forgive herself and potentially get her head back in the game. I think, although like I said I could go either way with this, that her arc was a bit of a Manhattan empathy pause. Hopefully she gets back to kicking ass soon.
