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
You don’t “take damage on purpose”, you either let yourself get beaten or not, the amount of damage your body takes is dependent of the durability of your body, which you have no control over, a knife to your body is gonna cut you whether you allow it or not, toilet paper isn’t gonna cut you whether you allow it or not…I’m tired of explaining this
Then he let himself get beat, talk about being pedantic.
