I have no issue with how it was presented. I think it’s clear that Mark’s fear of being like his father causes him to massively hold back.

We could debate the vagueness of how much human and Viltrumite physiology scale to each other as far as age and sex are concerned, but an athletic 18 year old male human would absolutely physically dominate a 50 year old athletic woman. Mark is not close to his physical prime, but he’s likely much stronger than he was in S1.

This is all setting Mark up for the “I thought you were stronger” moment that the season will likely end on. The moment he actually embraces his true strength and aggression and the horror and trauma that follows that moment.

I’d like a special about The Guardians of the Globe first forming. Or maybe one about Omniman when he first arrived on Earth.
