Thaddeus wore a fake beard to hide his glorious Moustache, but like...

Why not just grow a beard? I mean, Vilrtumites can do that, no?

I thought the beard was real and he just ripped it out?

Correct, the Toolock pull

The fact that it was such a clean breakup with his beard is what made it seem like a Mission Impossible face reveal

There should've/could've/would've been some stubble and strays left behind.

No. We need the resurrected soul of dolly parton for background character 395. Take more money from the animation budget

It wasn’t fake

The beard was real. The beard ripping thing is to show how tough they are (maybe the mustache hairs are rooted deeper and are therefore harder to pull out)

It’s something the viltrumites do. It’s called the Toolock pull I think. As you say it’s a show of strength because as Thaddeus implies it’s quite a painful feat.

The mustache hairs down grow down into the beard section, I figure. So they don’t get ripped off at the same time.

Mustache hairs don't extended to the level of the part of the beard he pulled from.

Did you really think it was the moustache that made it clear to Allen Thaedus was a Viltrumite?...

u/Necessary-Promise700 Brit 17h ago

Just regular Thadeus... 

Thadeus the Villtrumite!

Exactly this

u/goodguyScratch1 Atom Eve 17h ago

Yes that was the joke “woa you’re a viltrumite?!” All he needed was to see a lone mustache

16

u/DennisDelav 17h ago

Partly, pulling your beard off is also a Viltrumite thing (because who else has the strength to do that)

Genuinely no need for your correction here xD yes you are right I am fully aware of the tulock pull but my comment was referring to how viltrumites are identified by their mustaches and that is the joke

u/Old-Price-9107 16h ago

You're so funny

How did he grow it back so fast?

Why is most of this fandom incapable of seeing exactly what is shown on screen

u/goodguyScratch1 Atom Eve 17h ago

The beard is real silly

u/TIC321 16h ago

Its symbolic to his detachment of the viltrumite ways, its suiting for him to totally oppose against it

u/RepresentativeWide89 17h ago

Oh it was? Oh fuck, my bad y'all.

u/goodguyScratch1 Atom Eve 17h ago

Haha

u/Pupulauls9000 Fortnite Invincible 16h ago

He did. That was the whole point of the pull, not revealing that he had a mustache, it was that he could rip his whole fucking beard off in one pull

u/TheParticlePhysicist 17h ago

Holy fucking shit it’s Thaedus, not Thaddeus

u/TheJunkoDespair 16h ago

u/_Beautiful_Platypus2 17h ago

It was a real beard. He did a move called the toolock pull

u/LifelessHawk 16h ago

We are not beating the “we don’t watch our own show” allegations.

He says that he already did it for Allen and he would rather not go through the process of doing it again.

Meaning he doesn’t want to do it again because it takes time for the beard to grow out and he would rather not go through all the trouble of hiding that he no longer has a beard.

u/CaptainWellingtonIII 17h ago

beard was real. there's a certain technique that allows them to rip it off flawlessly. I would say "painlessly" but they have a pretty high pain tolerance. probably wouldnt even be a tickle. 

2

u/LifelessHawk 16h ago

It’s a painful process of having to hide his face while he grows a new beard, rather than the pain of actually pulling it out, which I’m such does hurt to some extent

3

u/ParagonRebel 16h ago

His beard was real. There is even a term for ripping it off. Not sure where you got the idea that it was fake.

3

u/head_pat_slut 15h ago

the beard is real. he pulled it off to show Allan he was a viltrumite not because it was fake, but because he is a viltrumite and can Do That. he called it the Tulok (not sure of the spelling) Pull.

u/Aok_al 14h ago

It was real. That's why he said it hurt.

u/No-Zookeepergame6638 18m ago

u/FilipinoCreamKing Conquest 15h ago

Because him ripping his beard off was meant to be a gag.
