Was able to defeat such an old viltrumite? I thought they got stronger, faster, and tougher as they got older, and she looks way older than him, especially since her aging would be slowed?

This is why “they’re as strong as they need to be for the plot” just doesn’t work, because it creates big inconsistencies as these. Mark should’ve not been able to borderline beat Thula, someone as old an skillful as Nolan. That’s actually why I thought they rejuvinated that random viltrumite, so it’s more believable he doesn’t get pummeled by him, but now it’s worse lmao
Without spoiling the comic, this is exactly the problem with a certain fight against a really strong viltrumite later on. I think they’re trying to rectify that by making mark‘s baseline strength a lot higher, instead it’s his mentality that holds him back. Imo it’s a good change that aligns with Mark’s character growth throughout the series.
Is it a problem with that fight ? I thought it was universally loved the way it is
It’s not that they get stronger as they age, they get stronger from pushing themselves.
Mark was being trained by “The great Nolan” and he’s also his son, which likely meant he was born stronger than most viltrumites
So he’s been pushing himself training with his dad, and earth in general has many threats to viltrumite level beings. Most planets in the universe have no threats to viltrumite level beings.
He just overwhelmed her for a while in the fight she was barely bleeding from Mark’s strikes but she pretty wrecked Mark , like his face was bruised.
And also I think they were testing him about being a true viltrumite that whether he’s able to kill and fight.
And the moment Mark became hesitant she instantly stabbed him and said you fought well but it’s not enough and then Mark has to call his dad so I think they were testing him.
