I think its hilarious that despite Nolan failing to grasp the ethics of morality and accountability and forgiveness, the fact he is ATTEMPTING it puts him above everyone else on Viltrum. Its really easy to judge someone from a different society that treats you like a weapon. Also side note! I love the idea of the Tharaxans. They live shorter than us so we inherently think less of them. JUST LIKE NOLAN DID. It effectively puts us in Omniman’s position when he came to earth. We live so much shorter than him that he sees us as inferior, and while we judge him for that, when we meet his new wife we think the same until she speaks and we go, “Oh, these are people too.”
It's very important that the way you see the "bugs", constantly ragging on them as less than human, seeing their lifespan as miniscule? That's how Omni-Man saw humans. That is the point of the Thraxans, for Mark, as a human, to understand what coming to Earth was like for Nolan.
44:20 it costs $5 Million every time he teleports, there is a funny scene in the comics where Donal asks Cecil if he wants a lift back and Cecil is pretty much like why do that when I can get teleported Donal reminds him of the cost and Cecil responds with "I know Donal I know. I think I'm addicted to this." as he starts to get zapped away by the teleporter. It's like a normal ass dude gained super powers he got addicted to the power it gives him. 48:30 General Kregg is voiced by Clancy Brown, Ya know Mr Crabs from sponge bob
Unfortunately I didn’t think she pre watched till the season 1 finale. But this episode she literally said “is that how he became monarch of the Thraxans” before that assumption is even possible. Maybe she could of assumed he was king or leader but using the exact wording is crazy
We are the bugs. The only difference is we're seeing it from Nolan's perspective. For him, a humans life span isn't that different to the Thraxans in his eyes but for us we get to see a species that can die off 10 generations in a few years. We are like the viltrumites to these bug people so the question is is it worth saving such a worthless species? Can we see things from Nolan's perspective and still hold that same answer?
I could always understand the "pet" comparison. It's insulting and emotionally devastating, but it fits. You can love a pet quite deeply. It isn't an equal partnership, however, and you know that (barring a few exceptions) they will live for only a fraction of your lifespan. Nolan truly did love his wife in his own alien way, but he had a life before her and would have a life after. Ideally, he would have likely to keep her for the rest of her life, even after the conquest, though that probably wouldn't have worked. Still, few loyal soldiers would commit treason to keep their dog from being sad.
I have a theory that overtime as the human DNA dies off the viltrumite DNA persists which is why they age slower the longer they live. Tell me if I'm wrong tho
@@petrenocka Sorry but that's wrong. Spoilers for comics: Thanks to his Viltrumite heritage, by the time Oliver becomes an adult, he looks indistinguishable from a pure-blood Viltrumite and is just as strong as one.
They can which why Lucan is so disgusted by Nolan having a child with the bug people. Because they aren't compatible enough to make strong offspring so by viltrumite standards they are more inferior than normal.
"You got freaky with bugs????.... and you called Debbie a pet?" Okay so I'm glad you clarified that you were mostly confused about Debbie's honor because at AliciaxLife we don't kink shame (that's exclusively for AliciaxDeath and the patreon) * Looks at fly on screen....😘
The baseball scene was my favorite one to showcase the way Nolan was before Debbie. He doesn't understand why Mark playing baseball is such a big deal and can think of all the better uses of his son's time but the second he sees him hit the ball and start running Nolan starts cheering for him with pride.
i've read the comics and i'm sooo excited for the future episodes. the writing is phenomenal with this story! it tackles heavy topics with so much emotional maturity and can make it feel so real. things get a lot more interesting from here, looking forward to your future reactions!
Goku died a couple of times, dunno if that counts. If you've read Fire Punch, Agni is perpetually on fire and in pain and he also gets beaten to a pulp and shot all the time.
Not gonna say which part but Alicia is absolutely not beating the prewatch allegations. She guessed something that happens later either this season or the next down to details and everything
The maulers not knowing which is the original was always stupid to me. If they both have the same memories, both of them would remember laying on the same side of the machine during the process. So like if the original was on the left side of the machine, they’d both remember laying down on the left side and therefore know which is the clone since one woke up on the right side.
Where as humans consider them a power. Honestly have you ever seen a human who refuses to give into their emotions? They are litteral monsters capable of anything kinda like people who only rely on logic. Look at the giving tree as a example a couple had twins but the race only had enough resources for 1 child. So the son who was given emotions watched his dad who had none literally give one of the babies a shot that killed it then he put it in a box fro disposal like it was another chore for the day. His son was horrified about how his father could do that without any show of loss or uncomforterbility. This is why we as a species cling to our emotions because without them we would be a bigger monster then anything we could imagine.
This episode just showed how easy Nolan went on Mark. If he really wanted to erase Mark, he could've. Also, Nolan was shown to be a writer in the comics, but it was probably cut out of season 1 for time.
Also when she’s going off (after starting to seriously suspect him of the guardians murders) he tries to go with her but she mentions that he has a book he’s working on
Alicia I just figured out Canada is the place to buy land the land tax is only 0.5% to 2.5% per year where I live it's 40% example $40,000 in Canada you get 100 acres of land and you're usually taxes $200 where I am same price $40,000 text $16,000 per year
i think it’s interesting how people say nolan is still married to debbie, like no he isn’t, as he said “my life on earth is over” yall want him to go back and get a divorce? he’s not cheating on her because they are not in a relationship, don’t get me wrong it’s weird, but not because his married to another woman cause he just aint.
personally i think that the "not knowing who is the clone" is dumb, cause both of them will know where the original sat down before the memory transfer
I found your channel kinda randomly I think it was Vox Machina reactions months ago, and I don't watch vtubers much so to be entirely honest I had some negative preconceptions of what vtubers would be like coupled with reaction channels not usually being all that high quality, I did not expect much from your channel truth be told. I clicked out of random curiosity just as something to put in the background while I was bored, and I was legit surprised. I put a lot of reaction channel stuff in the background and a lot of them is very surface level noise, doesn't offer much analysis and they can be kinda low effort and trashy, I watch them anyways don't get me wrong, but I don't expect much from them and so I didn't expect much from your vids either and I was so damn wrong holy shit. I was legit shocked by how interesting your analysis can be and just in general how fucking smart you are. The insight you have into people and their motivations is amazing! I wish more people were like you, bc goddamn you're awesome.

Kinda weird they added that storyline with the Mauler clones. I don't mean the side plot is weird, it was in the comic, but in season 1 the Mauler Twins said that "We cannot know which is the clone and which is the original, it never ends well." So I thought they were going to skip that part of the story. Heh, guess it proofs that the scarred one was the clone.
@@Ockerlord😂 bro listen to my tone. Cmon you can’t hear my sass? My lip pucker? My shady side to side eye shift. Pick up on the cues bestie. If I was serious I’d do it without all the theatrics.
@@aliciaxlifeThanks for clarification. I might be too sensitive to the "ironic racism" shtick. Anyway, keep doing what you are doing and have an awesome day.
You are correct about killing a Viltrumite. Books Nolan wrote were his actual adventures in space. In the comics Mark will go out to seek things that managed to hurt Nolan in the past, but IIRC won’t find anything worthwhile.
Alicia I have been watching your content for awhile and recently took the plunge into hrt. I understand wanting babies now, i see them and melt so hard.
Omni-man isn't still married to Debbie. Nolan is legally dead, Debbie is a widow. And I feel that when Omni-man attacked Mark he ended any relationship with Debbie and the people of Earth, so there's nothing left there.
That depends. If you mean anime in it's most literal sense (animation) then yes. If you mean anime as in the visual style, Id say no. Its recognizably animated like an American cartoon.
I think its hilarious that despite Nolan failing to grasp the ethics of morality and accountability and forgiveness, the fact he is ATTEMPTING it puts him above everyone else on Viltrum. Its really easy to judge someone from a different society that treats you like a weapon.

Alicia will truly never beat those "pre-watch" allegations!
Unfortunately I didn’t think she pre watched till the season 1 finale. But this episode she literally said “is that how he became monarch of the Thraxans” before that assumption is even possible. Maybe she could of assumed he was king or leader but using the exact wording is crazy
She said iron man was a great movie in one of her invincible reactions several months before reacting to iron man for the "first" time

Nolan just magnetized to the bugussy within 60 days of leaving Earth
I mean, most men i know after a break up of a long relationship do some pretty dumb things, rebounds are crazy
Which 60 earth days is like what? 6 viltramite minutes xD
@@In-The-Zonemore like seconds, even less realistically
I'm so fucking stupid, somehow didn't even notice that the Debbie scene was a mirror of Nolans.
A lot of people don't, and there's a decently long scene in-between Nolan's scene and Debbie's, you're not stupid
I don’t think Viltrimites can be half breeds, Nolan said their DNA is so pure that any children born with another race will be almost full blooded.
I have a theory that overtime as the human DNA dies off the viltrumite DNA persists which is why they age slower the longer they live. Tell me if I'm wrong tho
Nope, humans specifically are so close to viltrumites it makes Mark nearly full blooded.
Bug not so much.

He doesn't understand why Mark playing baseball is such a big deal and can think of all the better uses of his son's time but the second he sees him hit the ball and start running Nolan starts cheering for him with pride.
So in the comic Cicel is basically taking full care of Mark and his mom. Actually in that Debbie didn't have a job till after this moment.
Yeah, I like that in the comic she studied and became a real estate agent to help get her mind off Nolan and everything
all male viltrumites come with "villain" moustaches. it's basically a required cultural fashion statement.
20:28 nah she trynna turn this into Vinland Saga
I have no enemies
i've read the comics and i'm sooo excited for the future episodes.

To quote Inside Job "Daddy Issues YEAAAHHH!!!"
Did little bro come out of an egg or did he have to do it the mammal way?
If the Thraxans can shape shift she probably became human to have him because Viltrumite DNA being so pure
@@Vattgh3rn thought he did that with holograms.
The pre-watched allegations are getting even harder to beat😅😅
Omni-man was like that bugssy is so good I gotta put a ring on it.
anyone else think mark is the most beat up protagonist ever? like almost every fight he is bleeding or almost put into a coma
He wins because he can take it, not because he can out-punch or out-fight.
He wins because he is...
I mean deku is a thing lol. His arms are broken 90% of his fights lol
Goku died a couple of times, dunno if that counts. If you've read Fire Punch, Agni is perpetually on fire and in pain and he also gets beaten to a pulp and shot all the time.
Probably not. There's too many time loop stories where the protagonist gets brutally killed over and over again.
Just pointing Donald knew Cecil's password. Cecil trusts that man with his password.
Not gonna say which part but Alicia is absolutely not beating the prewatch allegations. She guessed something that happens later either this season or the next down to details and everything
Ok time for a training montage clip with Nolan and Mark! > Oh they’re here?! Dammit!! 😅😂
I can't believe Alicia prewatches all these shows. This ruined my entire day.
Me too sadly
13:28 I do this all the time, I call it "a good sense of narrative."
Anyone with the name Krieg is instantly considered a villain 😂
36:40 Alicia just casually calling me out.
And looking at who played Art... ;) omg I didn't see that being the case!
47:40 Imagine if Donald is Earth's best defense against Viltrumites down the line :D
40:10 😂😂
Fight Mark!! Fight!!
Tatakai!
This man be fucking anything fr
I feel in this episode most for is Donald I do not know how scary it would be to find out you are not who you think you are.
10:08 With how long he lives, of course he has several families.
I just found out that General Kreig is voiced by the same guy who does Mr Krabs 😂
The maulers not knowing which is the original was always stupid to me. If they both have the same memories, both of them would remember laying on the same side of the machine during the process. So like if the original was on the left side of the machine, they’d both remember laying down on the left side and therefore know which is the clone since one woke up on the right side.
And general kregg is voiced by the person who voiced mr krabs.
Clancy brown
@@leonrussell9607 yeah that was his name.

Where as humans consider them a power. Honestly have you ever seen a human who refuses to give into their emotions? They are litteral monsters capable of anything kinda like people who only rely on logic.

Damn Debbie deadass got replaced by a bug feels bad man.
3:13 someone said MONARCH?!?
RADIANT IS THE BLOOD OF THE BABOON HEART

Yea that’s what made me decide she pre watches. Had my suspicions. Season 1 is decently predictable but that’s wild

Just a reminder that a new episode is out now.
I feel like Cecil is too scared to show up in person cuz if he ever did he would probably die
As someone who has seen what happens in the comics ya u are not ready for what happens next. Who mark has to fight next.
personally i think that the "not knowing who is the clone" is dumb, cause both of them will know where the original sat down before the memory transfer
Don't they intentionally like like blank their memory of the last like minute or something to prevent that? Pretty sure that was mentioned.
I mean if you see the thraxans in the comics you’ll understand how nolan folded 😭😅
