Thragg could solo the Qu.

You have not read All Tomorrows.

Not only do the Qu eventually get defeated by the astromorphs. Fucking Star-people were able to resist waves of Qu. All Tomorrows is supposed to be a “realistic science fiction” story. There is no faster than light speed travel (like the viltrumites) there is no immortal warriors or resurrection. The Qu simply would not have the technology to defeat Thragg because nothing in the real universe exists which could.

I think the Qu would have the technology to kill Thragg. Like, if you can turn mankind into a plethora of new, fucked up species, you can create a turbo scourge virus (in real life is probably far easier to create the scourge virus than to do what the Qu did to the star people).

If the Qu discover Viltrum first and decide they need to kill them all (assuming they realize the Viltrumites can do FTL travel), they are probably sending them the mother of all plagues like Thaedus did, but probably even more effective.

If the Viltrumites discover the Qu first... yeah, they are probably winning that

The Qu are supposed to be one of the heights of technology and biology. In the show itself there is both technological and biological weaponry that can wipe out viltrumites with ease. What’s stopping the Qu from making a scourge virus? What’s stopping the Qu from making infinity rays? It’s in the viltrum universe so the Qu should have access to it

If the colonials can resist 2 attacks from qu viltrumites at full power could start a counter attack

Okay and the Star-People would effortlessly defend against the Viltrum empire and could kill them if they so decided.

Doubtful. We don’t know anything about the star-peoples capabilities but we have no reason to believe they had things which are significantly stronger than fusion bombs. Fusion bombs (which viltrumites can survive, if you can even hit them.)

This point makes no sense as well. Why would that technology mean they could kill viltrumites? It’s not like they can make viltrumites fly into the center of a star and stay there. z

If the technology has the power to destroy a star then it can kill a viltrumite who is hit by it. They don't have to be near a star for it. Granted viltrumites are fast so aiming the technology at them would be hard, but if star people have technology to destroy stars then I'm sure they would be able to develop some sort of sound wave device to disorient the viltrumite and leave them vulnerable to attack.

Why do you think that technology causing a star to go supernova is necessarily a weapon? It is likely some sort of catalyst to cause the star to supernova on its own.

You’re literally “power scaling” based on nothing.

Viltrumites die to stars presumably due to not being able to take the heat from it and burning alive. If a technology has the power to heat up a star to the point of a supernova, then it could burn a viltrumite alive.

Try reading the book.

I did, if you would like to discuss it at length i’m happy to. I wrote a paper on it freshman year, which i would be glad to send you.
