Im personally glad they didnt have Debbie just accepting Nolan back because...fuck, why should she? The man she knew never existed or at least it wasnt worth enough for him to challenge his beliefs before starting to act on them. He murdered a shit ton of people, fellow heroes included, many of which she had to personally confront, either to comfort or get blamed for what he did.
Debbie and Mark practically took a lot of the blame for his massacre, fair? Not really but Nolan clearly didnt seem to care enough to go back, turn himself in, tell what he knows about the threat and let himself take the blunt of the hate. He decided to go tap some bug ass and pop a new son, mostly to "relieve stress" ultimately, only to refer to that relationship as a "mistake" to his wife, unironically thinking this would help.
"You dont get it, you arent a pet to me but that bug lady? Oh yeah, she was totally just some bug vag for me to relief some stress from my overwhelmed mind. That bug, who happens to be the mother of your foster son, was a mistake but you arent, honey...! Come on, give this guy a break."
There was literally no version where that conversation didnt end with her reaffirming her hatred for him and making him glad she doesnt have Viltrumite strength and durability because otherwise, those nuts of his were hitting the floor in a gorey mess.
Either in this AU, turns out what Nolan said about Viltrum was true and they really are just a powerful yet peaceful race* or maybe Conquest survived again but the whole thing either gave him memory loss (
a classic) or a change of heart (
which isnt without merit as he is one of the few viltrumites that doesnt try to paint what they do as anything less than atrocities so he IS self aware)
If there are like, a thousand "X villain turns good or was actually good" fanfictions (
especially in DBZ), this is no exception.
*Would that mean that this is Mark's villain origin maybe?
I mean it is pretty bold to release an animated series with minimal animation.
Didnt stop One Punch Man S3
Everytime some troglodyte dares to provide some valid criticism, the horde will silence them real fast.
How dare you not join in the 15 minutes of love? You will instead be target of the 15 minutes of hate!
Viltrumites are supposedly these awesome superpowerful dudes yet their greatest weakness is... Sound? How can they even fly past the sound barrier without collapsing? Explanation: Kirkman couldn't think about anything creative. Even a rock from outer space is more inventive than that.
You can tell Kirkmann really wanted to avoid any similarities with kryptonite, with the Viltrumites already being very obviously his kryptonian/saiyan expies, yet he was struggling to think of something that didnt feel like a mcguffin or too convenient.
So "sound" was what he came up with but, ironically, it is a very easy weakness to work with once you have it figured it out and it is through the stupidity of the characters this isnt exploited more.
