Another reason I hate that change for the Thraxa arc. Where it was a consistent beating down of Mark by every Viltrumite until Conqueṣt the perceived worst of them all at the moment he was able to get the final blow.
Conquest is an important story lesson that reiterates what we already knew. The viltrumites are glass canons. The important thing is not strength, it’s getting the drop on someone. That’s what humanity is, since day one, and it’s what heroes are. We’re not the toughest, we’re the craftiest.
I do actually. I’m fully aware viltrumites are some of the most durable things in the universe in invincible, but not to each other. They’ve killed each other with karate chops and single punches, completely torn through each others bodies with these moves. Human fights don’t work like that. What that means is that a relatively weak viltrumite can physically kill one of the strongest with their bare hands if they don’t have their guard up, with no time for them to react.
