mark was getting clobbered by fucking maulers 3 episodes ago now he’s able to beat a full grown soldier viltrumite that’s been conquering worlds for millennia just because he “stopped holding back”. Even Nolan who got hospitalized by the guardians while soloing them, only suffered a cut on his head fighting THREE viltrumites!!! Just makes them look weak in comparison. I feel like they shouldn’t even have any chance winning that battle at all, not alone surviving in better condition than against way weaker foes

    I feel that it was a very purposeful and thought out choice to make mark much stronger in this fight. I think in adapting this story to tv, the writers realize that viewers actually want to feel like characters are going places and becoming developed. The target audience for a tv show is much less patient than a comic audience so they need them to realize that characters are building up and not as seemingly weak as they were in the last season.

      Then I wonder why they started the season with mark getting fucked up by maulers in a pool of his own blood and needed to be saved instead of yunno, showing he’s leveled up and way more powerful than last season…but nah all of a sudden he’s leveled up because of plot, that’s called plot convenience

        Because when he’s against the maulers he’s holding back.

        His dad is finally getting to him and teaching him how to fight like a Viltrumite.

          He was also handling the Maulers just fine until Levy brought in 10x as many. It was a numbers game, and Mark was at the disadvantage
