I’m not sure how I felt about this episode. The animation was fantastic and it was satisfying to have some backstory on Nolan post S1 finale, but I feel like we missed out. I wish we could have spent more time just having Mark and Nolan talk.
I mean the guy committed multiple 9/11s with his bare hands (as well as Mark himself), yet the story decides it is more important to throw us into a sudden conflict with a bunch of Viltrumites? I was perfectly happy and compelled by just Nolan and his own motives/beliefs/thought processes.
I also would have really wanted to see some cathartic Mark v. Nolan combat, but alas. Ultimately I was hoping we would have spent more time with Nolan as a villain, rather than what seems to be more of an anti-hero now. I dunno, maybe the story will go somewhere interesting. (His mental breakdown towards the end and the proper tears were really good though).
Once he left Mark at the end of season 1 and sheds a tear I would say he could not go back to being seen as the villain.
