I remember being young & amazed at how strong my dad was; how big his hands were compared to mine. It's only as a man grows older that he begins to see his father - not as a superhero - but as a vulnerable human doing his best & who they'll outlive. So the idea of making the father the _literal_ strongest man on Earth who will still be with you in "500 years" is a *_deep_* theme for young men. A titan who will never pass the mantle & will always overshadow denies the final rite of passage of growing up as a man.

[@raul3090]

[@charlespatrickwade3340]

@@MarijnvdSterre I think what the Original Poster meant was that we (hopefully) grow to match and even exceed our fathers. Everyone ages, and in modern times there comes a point where the father retires and passes the 'family business' to the son. But when your father WILL NEVER AGE, will always be there, will always be 'more' than you, that has an effect on your perception of them. Think of what Nolan said to Mark in the first episode: when you're young/a teenager, you think your invincible and that has consequences when your perception doesn't match reality. But if you actually were invincible, if you didn't need to worry about 'biting off more than you can chew', the usual life-lesson of learning your limits doesn't really apply.

I’m right there with Arianna, watching that fight between Mark and his Dad is so heartbreaking. And as much as Nolan is an asshole, you can see glimpses that it is effecting him as well, hence him dipping out of the planet at the end. So sad.

[@androkguz]

The thing is that Nolan is not an asshole. He is the product of his society and thousands of years of living as a Viltrumite. And as far as that goes, he is -quite literally- the nicest and most compassionate he could possibly be in his circumstances.

[@Etticos.]

@@androkguz I mean that is just a matter of perspective, right? By Viltrumite standards he is the nicest guy from their society, yet from the standards of our society he is an asshole, and that’s putting it lightly.

[@chasethecringewolf2195]

So it might not be obvious but when Omniman calls Debbie a pet he’s not calling her a literal possession, he’s saying she’s a fleeting pleasure in his lifespan. Its like when you get a dog or a mouse, or just any tiny creature you know as long as nothing extraordinary happens, you WILL outlive it. I think it’s obvious that he loves her even more than he believes he does. He’s so indoctrinated that its hard for him to even recognize his emotions. Despite being he antagonist for season 1 they make him extremely grey, a thing ive noticed is alot of villains we watch that don’t do things personally or don’t care about morality aren’t as hated as ones who do. Like people don’t hate the Joker since he literally isn’r even trying to be good. Omniman on the other hand is extremely malicious and violent and yet explaining his thought process and how he views humans puts you in his mindset and like it or not you empathize. The fact he had a kid, had a wife, is proof there is more to him, and Im interested to see where the show takes it.

[@androkguz]

I know. I mean, I love my pet so much. My dog is top 5 in the list of living beings I love and would protect. But I know I will outlast her. I also know she is in so many ways "inferior". Or less capable of surviving in this world made for humans. Nolan loving Debbie as a pet makes total sense and doesn't seem at all like an evil thing to me. I would certainly think myself lucky if a Viltrumite considered me a pet.

[@declancampbell1277]

just something to add add from the comics that didnt make its way into the series. Its explained that the reason Nolan acted when he did was because mark developed powers. Despite what it looks like he does love Mark and Debbie, but he's so brainwashed by the viltrum empire that he has to be loyal to them. The original plan was for Nolan to wait until Debbie and Mark died of natural causes, and then start initiating his plan, but because mark develops powers, and viltrumites get stronger the older they grow and the more they times they nearly die. Nolan knows if he waits then mark will be able to stop him one day, and Nolan has already aged significantly so he cant just outlast mark. I think this advanced age also plays into how Nolan can just brush off death, when youve been a warrior for over a thousand years i think life would stop meaning as much to you, especially when its a shorter lived species like humans.

[@mbpoblet]

Slight correction: the _original_ original plan was for Nolan to conquer Earth; then he met Debbie and decided to have some fun, a short vacation, and then go on with the plan; then he got her pregnant, so the plan changed to include the kid growing up and helping him; then Mark didn't get powers and after some frustration (see the Atom Eve special's end credits scene) the plan became to stay on vacation until Debbie and Mark died, and _then_ conquer Earth; then Mark _did_ get powers, and everything was ruined, because by now Nolan had gone fully native and he _didn't_ want to have to kill his friends, even if his duty as a Viltrumite meant he had to.

To clarify, Nolan didnt think Mark would get powers/be a viltrumite. So Omniman planned on spending 100 years with him and Debbie and conquering Earth after they died. Rhen Mark got powers and Omniman realized the time was now. Thats why he said he'd be better off if Mark never got his powers in Ep1

[@Deined]

100 years is _very_ generous. After a few decades at most, people not in the know about Nolan's superhero identity would've noticed that Mark and Debbie were visually aging and he wasn't.

[@andrewjeng3297]

Omni-man thinks of humans the same way humans think of animals or insects, due to the difference in innate strength and lifespan, it's difficult for him to come to grips with the value of human life. Not defending him or anything, but he probably doesn't think of himself as evil, just a part of something so much more advanced and powerful that the only logical choice is to submit. (Similar to how humans subjugated weaker indiginous groups during the age of Imperialism) Awesome character. Deplorable, but awesome.

[@m.s.5370]

Yeah, a lot of people immediately take his comment about Debbie being like a pet to him as this callous, cruel thing to say, that it proves he never cared and only ever pretended to; because our own preconcieved notions about what we call pets and how we view ourselves compared to other species on earth are hard to shake. For instance, evidently being the most intelligent species on the planet, we decided to use intellect/the capacity for complex mental processes as the main trait to determine things like worth, how many rights and protections they deserve, etc. (Hence why a dog has more legal protection than an amoeba). However, if we view things from the POV of a Viltrumite, then that classification doesn't really work anymore. They've been to multiple planets inhabited by different forms of intelligent life, so they cannot use intellect as a metric. So what do they do? Simple: they use physical strength. They're quite literally a might-makes-right-society. That's why Nolan calling Debbie his pet isn't demeaning in the way we think, it's just him acknowledging that he's going to outlive and mourn her for a long time. So really, it's quite a tragic comment for him. Of course, you can still read it the human way and that still works (god knows Debbie does), but understanding how he truly meant it makes that moment just that much more interesting, no?

[@MyBallzInYourJaws]

Yeah, it's just like our relationship with ants. We assume the role of viltrumites and ants assume the roles of Homo sapiens. Just like we don't care about ants on a regular basis, it's the same for viltrumites. They never considered recognizing inferior species as people.

[@derekdecker555]

I suspected, as a long time fan of the channel, the subway scene would get Arianna badly. Even not factoring in the horrific carnage, it’s such a cruel and spiteful thing for Nolan to do to Mark. Literally turning him into a weapon to slaughter the people he wants to protect.

[@Ayezil]

I understand that people don't really get Omni man's point because of all the people dying during the fight but seeing people just dismissing his dialogue without much thought is still a bit infuriating. Just one example is him calling debbie a 'pet' if you think about it, it's like having a wife for like a week in your life. There will be attachment and love but in the 70 something years of your life, that one week is not very significant.

[@Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmiam]

@@waldoman7I mean, he has to do what he does because the alternative is a viltrumite invasion. It’s like when people justify the use of the atomic bomb on Japan during WW2, so they wouldn’t need to do a naval invasion, which would have cost more lives

Omni-man's human wife, will live basically a tiny spec of his lifetime. In the grand scheme of things, we would have lived for a much longer time with our pet than he did with his human wife.

[@zhengistasbolatov8480]

J.K. Simmons also known as J. Jonah Jameson did such a great job acting as Omni-Man!

[@MTG_Scribe]

My absolute favorite thing about this episode, and probably the season as a whole, is that the person who actually stopped Nolen was Debbie. Slowly, over the course of the last 17 years, she changed him in a way that made him leaving a possible outcome. There's a great visual representation of that towards the end of this episode, when Mark goes to ask Debbie if she wants to order pizza he's flying right up until the moment he sees her crying. Then he lands and actually walks away.

IMO In episode 1 Omni man wasn’t happy about mark getting powers, cause he hoped Mark and Debie wouldn’t live to the day and won’t have to watch him conquering planet, but since Matk got it he would have to do it in front of his eyes anyway

[@wehreoc360nos]

If mark was just a Human, Nolan could just wait. Eventually Debbie and even Mark would die and for Nolan that would be like a blink. But Mark awaken his powers, he was a Viltrumite and so he can live so much time, so waiting was not an option anymore and wouldn't change nothing. You can say that Mark awakening his powers make Omniman act sooner.

[@mentallyderangeddoggirl]

[@Brnolan22]

In all honesty it makes sense from Omnimans point of view, not saying he is right, but imagine this. You are born on a planet thousands of years ago and taught on that planet for thousands of years that might makes right, most species dont live a fraction of your life and when you compare Viltrumite technology and power to any other species Viltrumites always seem to have the best stuff. It would be hard to think yourself superior, and bringing other species to your level as benevolent. Omniman is likely thousands of years old and barely looks 40-50, He has spent 20 years on earth, a speck of time in the long run, like a week/month long trip, its surprising he was affected at all by his time on earth. And as for the pet comment, yes its insulting, but think about a dog or cat you love more than anything, how long they live compared to you, there are people out there that love their pets more than people. It doesn't diminish the love you feel for them, but them passing is something that you have to learn to deal with. Another thing, his comment about needing to know for sure about Mark being a Viltrumite is related to the fact that he was planning on delaying his invasion until after Debbie and Mark were dead from old age, he didnt want Mark to be a Viltrumite. Then think about this, Omniman is not the strongest viltrumite, and as far as Mark knows there is an entire empire of them. Omniman is showing mark what fighting back against just one of them will do. And Omniman likely is the nicest Viltrumite you will ever see. Logically giving in to the Viltrum empire is the smart move and would involve less deaths.

[@CedricBassman]

Realistically speaking what the Viltrumites do is the same as us bulldozing over Anthills, or putting them into Farms for our amusement. We don't give them Ants a second thought after wiping them out or imprisoning them, because they're simple Animals. So it's kinda ironic to me that People somehow expect a different treatment when we suddenly find ourselves in the Ants position.

[@wavehellhole]

God I’m sick of seeing this comment. Viltrumites are god damn eugenicist space nazis. These “ants” that they kill are not ants. They are people with thinking conscious minds, just like viltrumites. It’s one group having guns and missiles, and tanks, and the other side is labelled “ants” because they don’t have guns tanks and missiles. Fucking YAWN with this shit.

[@MarijnvdSterre]

The difference is of course consciousness. No one cares about ants, but when you move up to dogs a lot of people care. See how people react when a puppy gets hurt. Of course that increased care with consciousness is a human thing. No reason to expect that same logic from a different species. @@CedricBassman

[@CedricBassman]

@@MarijnvdSterre People react different to hurt puppies because they're seen as cute, nothing more. Not because of their consciousness. If that was the Reason, Humans wouldn't treat other Humans like shit for no reason.

Nolan decided he had to do this mow when he realized mark was a viltrimite I think he was gonna wait until mark and Debbie died and then do it

[@BaconNuke]

But if.. he got with Debbie and had Mark.. why? I heard he was purposely wanting a child and when Mark and Debbie died he'd just "start again" or "have another" like he said in the episode

[@rickymoranjr9609]

this episode still makes my heart hurt like crazy because watching Nolan fight Mark but Mark got his butt kicked was bad but when Mark told Nolan he'd still have him even after 500 years. that makes me shed a tear 🥺😢😭

[@exozetplsbuff]

this is gonna be good

[@ro4eva]

*Mark endured a devastatingly brutal beating that left him with missing teeth, broken bones, a collapsed lung, and a nearly-pulverized chin -- the latter, in large part, due to tanking a subway train with his face. In other words, by the end, Mark's body was so battered and bruised that he could not even manage to take half a breath without severe pain that visibly provoked tears . Even so, Mark still made sure to tell his father that he'll never stop loving him. What a champ.* ❤‍🩹

[@rustecohle591]

“I’m gonna go pout in space” lmfao 🤣

[@theCommentDevil]

Invincible, yet helpless. Mark is in a place worse than hell.

[@Diegesis]

Good point

[@skyicy7383]

''Now we look like a team" My boyfriend : yeah and monster girl lost some time again just for that Me : wait-

"Hey, so you were super-evil, but because you were good at doing that we're going to hire you through the government to make better versions." lol, that's "Operation Paperclip" in a nutshell.

[@michiko233]

Nolan is thousands of years old. His time on earth has probably felt like the equivalent of several months to a year. Going on a work trip and it completely changes the core ideals and beliefs you've had your entire life. Nolan could have EASILY k*lled Mark, but he held back, only doing enough harm that he'd heal from. He also never put a hand on Debbie. Omni-man is such an interesting character to me

[@ro4eva]

Same here. I find him to be a very intriguing presence.

[@xtop23]

“I fucking can’t stand him, can I have a tissue?” I died lol

[@stephenburr9836]

Maple: Is he [Omni Man] going to throw him [Invincible] into the plane? Ohhh, just you wait.

[@dantehutcherson5397]

Maple activating every neuron in my brain in the first 10 seconds

[@jaxsonbyrd7947]

I'm gonna go pout in space 😂😂😂

[@jnightmare0]

Consistent as ever guys love it, the glitters a great touch too 👌

[@ILostMyKeys]

JK Simmons crushing it as voice actor wow

[@DavidAJBoyle]

Episode 1; Omniman trains his son. Episode 8; Omniman 'trains' his son.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

When Omni-Man flew through the portal earlier in the season and said, "“Earth isn’t yours to conquer” - That hits a little harder now, eh?

[@spbspb2413]

This ep showed how much Omni Man failed to understand the humans, if this was his best attempt convincing his son.

[@stevenhernandeznon-profitf968]

You two are hyped and we love it

[@bigpictureguys8415]

“You’re not wrong Omniman you’re just an asshole!”

[@Adino1]

Any other Viltrumite would have killed Mark.

[@beren082]

Maple: "That man is terrifying" Me: "that's dads" Also me: "Did I just learn something about my childhood?"

[@n00bnati0ngaming7]

Just discovered that Maple is a very multi-talented star😍

[@FiniteVoid]

I always thought during the think mark scene oniman was really talking to himself trying to reason his purpose while projecting it on mark.

[@saikido1]

7:28 he’s getting beaten by his Dad but he still tries to soothe the little girls fear 😢 he’s already a hero

[@ellzIno]

“Nolan is basically Cecil on crack” refuses to elaborate 💀 What do you actually mean 🤔

[@goobertsnoobert9015]

“It’s not real, it’s not real, it’s just a TV show, also he’s tenzin, don’t forget that”

[@TheArtisticGhost]

Fun Fact Ladies: Nolan is the “NICE” Viltrumite thats the SCARY PART

[@monygemini88]

Of all the reactions I have seen on this channel, this might be my most anticipated!

[@Mr_Gray_1995]

“iM gOnNa gO pOuT iN spACe!”

[@TheMrsmartass13]

When Mark says "dad?!" After Nolans speech, you can see Nolan looks around for a split second, almost thinking "who hurt my son, who did this?" And then he looks down and realises it was him, this fearfull and sick feeling from his stomach upon seeing his son bloody and broken was his fault, his fathering instincts kicked in and instantly clashed with his Viltromite instincts to fight and kill, the conflict was too strong he had to leave the planet, crazy heavy stuff.

[@ro4eva]

Well said. Emotional rollercoaster.

[@HeadbangingGlory]

The violence was so over the top that by the time the train scene happened I couldn’t help but laugh at how insane the collateral damage was.

[@Mayakran]

I was laughing but not because I thought it was stupid or funny but because there was just so MUCH.

[@zeroethics3082]

Jerk-face Black Samson made Monster-Girl lose another year by Transforming, just so he could say, "Now we look like a team". She should have punched him just cause.

[@Diegesis]

Hahaha great point
