They should’ve never cut the chase scene, that was important in establishing that mark needs to exercise and push himself to get faster and stronger
Nolan did tell him that he would give him training immediately, before the Viltrumites came, so I guess it was hinted at
Yes that line was also in the comic but it wasn’t stated explicitly here that he can get exhausted, if they spent less time on sad debbie which we got for three episodes now we could’ve fleshed out the thraxxa stuff more, the fact that the elderly are the ruling class in thraxxa and how nolans incredibly long life span granted him ruler
I agree it’s such a great scene to show mark is still weak and slow compared to fully fledged viltrumites and I wish they kept it but they also kinda showed it with the Lucan one finger strength scene. What helped me accept it kinda is in season 1 Nolan talks about their powers as muscles and you need to tense them more and more, and the small training montage (where I feel Nolan would reiterate that).
In season 1 Nolan talks about his powers as if they were a muscle that needs to be exercised no sense in repeating that idea. Show mark is stronger than comic mark was at this point.
On one side I get that since they had Nolan teach him they didn’t need to reiterate that message. But on the other it showed how much the other Viltrumites outclassed Mark, was a great tense moment, and still would’ve egged him on for what he needed to prepare for.
guess it was more important to show donald figuring out he’s a robot for 15 minutes
We got a little of that with Lucan keeping mark down with one finger. But I agree it needs to be addressed
