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 think it’s more like Mark was initially holding back, and by the time he realized how serious the threat was it was too late. Happens all the time irl. I’m a black belt and sometimes when I try to go easy on someone they surprise me with something I wasn’t expecting. In a 1v1 it’s easy to dial it up but against 9(?) people that would be more difficult.
Again, you can’t hold back durability
Some things aren’t about the physical durability of the bodily substance but rather of structural mechanics. It doesn’t matter how resistant your flesh is if you still have joints with limited range of motion and that means your arms can be dislocated.
You just said a WHOLE lot of nothing😭no need to try sound smart for no reason. Legit got nothing to do with what I was saying anyway
That’s an issue of unequal skill, not unequal strength. An unskilled opponent can still hurt you physically if you let them. A punch from a trained fighter or an average person can both give you a black eye.
But a viltrumite fighting the maulers is like you fighting a toddler. No matter how hard you hold back, the toddler is going to break your arm or do any serious harm. They might poke you in the eye or nab you in the nuts, and that will hurt, but you aren’t going to let them do it twice, no matter how hard you hold back.
