Is the Viltrumites going genocidal on themselves to cull the weaker bloodlines out of their society a part of the comic too?

That was the old ass Viltrumite, right?

Eh, maybe. Seemed like lazy writing though.

Yeah, with the cyborg arm.

I would agree it wasn't the strongest moment on the show.

Yeah. However, there's a little more to that side of the story, involving a virus that affects Viltrumites specifically. We should learn more about it in later seasons(which have already been greenlit btw.)

Yeah, this guy:
https://imagecomics.fandom.com/wiki/Conquest
(We actually caught a glimpse of him in the finale flashback.)

He's an older Viltrumite, but stupidly powerful and violent... second only to Thragg at this point.

I read about the virus. I didn't see anything about the culling though.

Really looking forward to Season 2. That old dude looks badass.

How do the Viltrumites choose a planet to "assimilate"? Random, or is there some set of protocols, or something else?

Oh yeah, the culling happened as described. The virus came later.

The battle between Mark and Conquest should legitimately make the 'fight' with Nolan look like two children rough housing. Should be an absolute gore fest. thumb up

Hm. I don't know if it was actually stated *how* they selected which worlds to assimilate into the Viltrumite empire. I always sort of assumed that any and all worlds with sentient life were on the table, as the Viltrumites essentially wanted to conquer ALL. Not sure if there were any strict prerequisites in place.

Can't wait.

Ah, thanks. Was just curious if there was some lore behind that.

Pretty much any planet they can use, that isn't able to resist them.

Nolan also claimed they would pillage Earth of its natural resources and leave it for dead eventually, so not certain why their progress even matters. Not like they need weapons, or any sort of architects or even slave labor..


I don't think Kirkman really thought it through, to be honest.

So it seems they choose planets that are at a certain level of advancement and defense capabilities.

I like how the "global watchtower" looks a lot like the Death Star.

Re-watching.


If it wasn't for the mass murder attempts, would be hard seeing Doctor Seismic as a villian. laughing out loud

Cecil theorized as season 2 villian.


If it follows the comic, it could happen. The thing is, [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Cecil was essentially smart about how he did his morally gray schtick. He reformed villians while keeping them under his thumb, and ended up doing a lot of good. Mark eventually came around to his way of thinking, except he was really stupid about it. The end result was a lot of deaths and damage to cities.

A roundabout way of saying Mark himself might be a villain.

One change I really hate is they stole Eve's environmentalism and gave it to Amber.

That's just mean.
