    It suddenly clicked I’m that moment why Mark keeps getting his ass kicked. He wasn’t fighting like a Viltrumite. He wasn’t fighting to kill.

      It carries over to all of his previous fights too - against the cyborgs, the flaxans, the twins. Despite the fact he should logically be able to steamroll them he’s always just trying to make them submit while they’re out for blood.

        Yeah I enjoyed Nolan spelling that out for him

        “They are fighting to kill you, you need to fight to kill them or they WILL kill you”

        Definitely feels like they’re sort of deconstructing superhero fights in that regard.

            True. Reminds me of Spider-Man, where becoming a superhero just made Peter’s like far worse and far harder than it already was.

            Or (for all those anime fans out there), like one of those isekai stories where the protagonist endures brutal trauma in a grim fantasy world (ReZero), instead of becoming an OP self-insert fantasy hero.
