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
I’m so sick of hearing about “more powerful after a pep talk”. He was holding back trying to not kill anyone because he’s not like that. It was his dad telling him like “you gotta not hold back or else you’ll straight up die” to wake Mark up. Plus for the Thula fight Nolan got a few hits on her which would absolutely weaken her a bit
