He’s what? 18? Basically nothing in viltrumite timeframe.
Literally gets dominated by Lucan using one finger.
Then he gets his ass beat by Thula, who has hundreds of years of experience minimum, mind you viltrumites get stronger with age, aaand somehow a pep talk allows him to almost kill her? What? Mind you, in the comics this Thula threw down with Battle Beast and walked away alive
Yeah but it kinda undersells just how strong the veteran viltrumites are. Mark had to fucking work to even be anywhere near their level
I agree there’s no need to rush him being a badass he just is
