[@justinanderson2631]

It's kinda funny how not only does Nolan mention Gravity being a weakness to Viltrumites; but also mentions the Ragnar's enhanced physical forms because of the gravity. Like suggesting you should work out in higher gravity like in a totally unrelated anime.

I really like how the covers and titles of the books actually look reminiscent of retro science fiction books and films. Even Nolan's narration sounds like a Captain's Log from 'Star Trek'. Not to mention how the scene where he tried to wrestle the first Ragnar reminded me of Captain Kirk's initial grappling with the Gorn.

[@CollinMcLean]

I wonder if Nolan got into Star Trek after arriving on earth? I do love the detail of Nolan talking about his previous adventures in a style of cheesy science fiction from the 60s. It gets even funnier when you remember Cecil said he wrote travel books and he's still technically doing that.

[@AzguardMike]

I find it hard to believe that Cecil never once thought "hey Omni-man is writing stories about aliens and space travel. Donald! Order a copy of every book and have The Immortal read them all. Perhaps these are autobiographies!"

[@spandanganguli6903]

They did do just that. But the weapons in the book are not feasible for Cecil to obtain.

I wonder why Nolan wrote these books with specific Viltrumite weaknesses in mind He got creative block?

[@Vapor817]

probably thought it was ez money, also these weaknesses all involve aliens far beyond earth's reach

[@luciusvorenus-pu9fn]

Basically a write what you know thing. For a sci fi adventure there should be a feel of danger, and for a Viltrumite only these things remotely qualify as danger. He knows how those situations feel so he writes about them, because a fall into a chasm isn't really a problem for him so he won't be able to capture the dread in that

[@cabbiecarmvp145]

Perhaps Omni-Man was already doubting his loyalty when he wrote these books since it would’ve been early into him starting a family with Debbie and Mark So he wrote the novels as a little contingency, just in case

[@John-xf7ft]

I think they’re just general stories, that happen to show weaknesses

[@rafaelsantos-nl9jd]

is less about weaknesses and more about "my biggest and most dangerous adventures" the books dont cover every weak. only the ones with dangerous missions

[@jramoh]

My opinion is Nolan mentioned the characters (Space Rider etc.) he write on the books have beat and defeat him before he travel and arrived on earth. So he asked Mark call all of this characters to defeat the Viltrumites. Even Allen knows this characters are so truly real 😬

[@amandasnider2644]

Two thoughts: 1) I find it a little odd that both Debbie and Marc are not well acquainted with Nolans books. Wouldn't it be something they would have expressed interest in and supported him? Seems a little strange unless he specifically told them he didn't want them to read his work. 2) Its odd that Nolan was a novelist/writer. Writers have to have a lot of emotion and empathy in order to write compelling characters and writers want to share themselves through their work. It's one thing to write just for your own amusement but it's another if you actually want to share stories with the world...for such a closed off and secretive character it's a bit of an odd profession. Perhaps his emotional repression is why his books were not popular with readers...or, his writing is a hint that there's a lot more to the character then he lets on

[@TheGuy53X]

His books were never popular because he didn't publish them. He gave them to his tailor, who didn't even read them.

[@rafaelsantos-nl9jd]

1-Debbie know about it. she just like the insight to put 1+1 together 2-The books are pre-Marc, by the point Mark was born, Nolan changed themes, he no longer write "fiction", he is a travel writer. so Mark know his father was a writer, but only know the traveling books.

[@AstralFireIX]

These also aren't exactly character driven stories. Nolan understands the emotions of a warrior or adventurer well enough, which is all you need for basic pulp.

[@TavasM]

He faked emotions for 20 years, I think it would be easy for him with his 2000+ years experience, to make a human book
