I swear every episode ends with invincible looking like this.

    Every fight he lost it made sense that he lost. If anything he was doing a little too good against that female Viltrimite. Besides he got a couple Ws against the elephant guy and the gun arm guy.

      Fr the granny has like 2000 years of fighting experience and is probably physically stronger too. Never underestimate and old man in a profession where men die young. Or in this case, an old woman

      Honestly, yeah. Thula is one of the stronger Viltrumites, and once he started trying, he was kinda kicking her ass. He only lost because he couldn’t pull the trigger at the end. Which doesn’t make sense. At this point he should lose to any random Viltrumite handily.

        Yes exactly, I thought there’d be more people talking about this. I loved the episode and the fight, but it was really ridiculous how a Viltrumite with little-to-no training that just got his powers a year ago was able to beat up a Viltrumite veteran who I’m guessing has thousands of years of experience just because he “stopped holding back”. It came off as cliché shonen anime bullshit to me.

        Most in this sub just brush it off as “well he wasn’t really doing any damage, compared to what Omni-Man did to her” or “I don’t care, at least he finally kicked some ass”.

      And honest he’s shown small bursts of his potential in that one fight against battle beast and the lava and tongue and shock guy. He went ham for a few minutes before BB beat him down

      Mark getting swatted aside like a bug and held down with one finger by Lucan was realistic and aptly conveyed the threat of Viltrumites, whom the show has been hyping up since the Season 1 finale.

      Mark gaining a second wind and whooping Thula’s ass just because he “stopped holding back”, however, was cliché shonen anime bullshit that ruined some of the tension they held over the narrative.
