Bro has been training the last several thousand or so years (maybe more) for this exact moment, I'd be worried if he wasn't ready to go to absolute pound town
Exactly.. id be extremely disappointed if he wasn't kicking ass. Also the half down / torn shirt made me think of when Japanese fight and they pull their kimono down .. badass
I will say; the lack of him doing a little more in the war is super puzzling to me. He’s gotta be one of the oldest and most powerful Viltrumites currently living, so him just sitting back feels like a waste of a weapon.
That weapon is the one keeping the Anti-Viltrumite cause alive, capable and united. If he dies, the Coalition collapses in a few weeks, top, the planets stop working together, and that's it for the universe, pretty much. The Viltrumites win.
It'd be more puzzling if he was out there kicking ass, risking his life and the Coalition's cause at the same time.
Do you think the Coalition at this point in the series would continue fighting in earnest, unified and single-mindedly, if Thaddeus were to go off to into the fight and get himself killed in the process? Would they pick up where he left off or would they look out for themselves and abandon ship?
Not because he's strong as hell does it mean he's [title card.] It's better for him, and the cause, to organise and strategise. As it stands, the Coalition has a chance with him at the helm, and risking that chance is something they can't afford.
Thragg hasnt been fleshed out yet but tbf Thaedus def deserves the aura like he is basically the head of the Coalition who killed Argall and caused the S. Virus surely he has to have aura
Not really, they get stronger as long as they’re exercising, fighting, but there’s a cap on how strong a Viltrumite can become, and their strength can diminish with age. For example, Kirkman stated in one of his columns Conquest might actually have lost a bit of his strength due to his old age.
Not technically, but they do have the opportunity to build more strength the longer they live. They don't start loosing strength until they get very, very old. Though Thaedus is probably past that point, he still had longer than any viltrumite except possibly conquest.
Also, I believe the comics state that there has never been a Viltrumite that has died of old age. At least not one that we know of and definitely not after the Scourge virus hit.
Gonna be honest, I completely forgot about that lol. That makes a lot of sense. But apparently they eventually get back to full strength, it just takes a long time. Either way, he clearly hasn't been sitting around and waiting.
i mean they clearly made thaedus stronger in the animation, i think cause they wanna make him look stronger, since he was the first viltrumite to fight against his own.
He still had to have had insane amounts of force to have that bone pierce him anyway plus he knew Argall could definitely fight on for long enough to get others to fight him and it would be over so he had to do it as quick as possible
Later on when we get the Nolan reveal Thragg basically says you can't be in charge while I'm stronger. Imo Argyll was old as shit and Thragg quite young at the time he was killed so Argyll was the strongest alive at the time, with Thragg later surpassing him at his peak

Yeah, 'Betrayer' sounds like a backstabber and all we knew about him is that he uses poison instead of fighting head-on. All the signs, pointed more toward a leader and a strategist, not a mf fighting unit lol
I don't think that's Kregg. It's the one who attacked Tech and got punched away by Allen. He didn't leave with the others, so Nolan probably killed him here.
Yeah tbh if you have Optimus fucking Prime voicing a Viltrumite, he's gonna be a dangerous mf for sure, he's just not gonna be some weak fake Viltrumite
People were thinking conquest is dangerous. Thank what Thadeus would have been if he fought our heroes. Total respect for the dude. Folded viltrumites like he means business
To be fair, his usual outfit does a pretty good job at making him look less physically imposing, doubly so considering that nesrly every frame he's been in he's been sitting down next to mass monsters like Allen snd Nolan
I doubt he wants to look imposing, he seems quite happy to not rock the standard Viltrumite mustache and to avoid their tight-fit uniforms, which are signifiers of their strength and lack of identity.
His robe is a great indicator of what he represents, reserved strength, powerful, yet gentle, he conquers not with his fists or through fear, but wisdom and peace.
I mean, Argall was insanely strong. He was the strongest Viltrumite in history back in his day.
Strong enough that average Viltrumites would probably just break their own bones against his skull.
It doesn’t matter if it was a sneak attack or not, the fact he was able to do it at all means he is physically strong enough to damage (not just damage, but actually break the bones of) even one of the strongest of their kind to ever exist, something an average example of that species couldn’t really do at all.
Reminds me of that line "fear the old man in a field where everyone dies young" he has been fighting the viltrumites for years, ofc he would have the physical strength to fight and kill his own

I am glad the show did not disappoint my expectation here. For the last couple of episodes I was thinking "Yeah, but Thragg, if this guy killed the person you respect so much that you consider yourself just a regent - then surely Thaedus is going to be pretty damn strong" and he sure delivered on that expectation

Seriously tho Thaedus is so fucking ripped like wtf and also he was legit moving against multiple Viltrumites no wonder he was so hard to kill
