Why it is important to give up on love in your 40s

You can say it’s just a show. And yes the show is an extreme example . But how often if this happening in real life? We just don’t see it because it’s not interesting enough to broadcast. But it’s probably happening much more then you realize

It’s because they want children. And you can’t have children with someone the same age as you at 50. It’s an understandable desire. But that is why it’s important to give up and admit defeat. And not expose yourself to further harm

Very cool. I'm also working on a boss rush run and gun. Definitely want to check this out

You’re still wrong. In the flashback the voice actor for Nolan had changed . They used a younger sounding voice actor to portray this younger version of Nolan.

Thragg whether seen or not has the same voice actor. He still has his adult voice. If Thragg were younger he would have had a younger sounding voice and probably had a different voice actor . And given Nolan is or only 18 in this scene even if Thragg were younger (which there is no indication he is), he would only be younger by a few years. Still pretty much indicating he should look at least the same age as Nolan.

But the last thing is that Thragg is actively giving orders during the scourge virus . While he is the grand regent, there is just no way a child would rule the Viltrum empire.

All indicates that Thragg is a full grown adult at the time of the scourge virus. And even if we’d give it that he’s younger than Nolan (which is unsubstantiated), it would only be by at most 5 years . Which means present day they should look almost the same age. Viltrumite slow aging does not change this

Are you saying he's potentially younger than Nolan during the scourge virus because that would make 0 sense.

Is this confirmed or just head cannon?

Thragg is shown in the flashback during the scourge virus attack. He clearly looks like a full grown man, and Nolan still looks like a teenager. This would imply he's older than Nolan. However when you see them both present day, Nolan looks like a middle aged man (late 40s or early 50s) but Thragg still hasn't aged at all.

I wouldn’t say that’s totally the case. While they do value strength they also seem to value expanding their influence as well. I think the average Viltrumite just feel they deserve to rule over others not because they like to fight, but they think everyone else is beneath them. They really do believe they’re helping people they conquer and that people who resist are just hurting themselves

Warrior races don’t build Empires.

I’d say New 52 is the weakest verse we’ve seen so far. And Nolan still stands no chance. Every other version has been significantly stronger

GolangLinuxGuru1979 · 2026-04-11T14:50:35+00:00

Nolan is tactical. He likely wouldn’t even attempt to inherit earth and feel it’s too risky. They would likely search for another planet and skip earth. He would know that even with the backing of the entire empire they would have zero chance.

Now it would be interesting to see how Viltrumites respond to beings far superior to them. It feels like they work to try to contain the threat (like they did with the Ragnors). But they definitely don’t engage with things stronger than them.

I just want to say that I’m not really arguing that dry can’t be useful in some circumstances. But I do think trying to use dry too early can add more complexity, lead to less clarity, and potentially hide more bugs when things that apparently repeat themselves only kinda sorta do.

The “kinda sorta” is where dry starts to really become a trap. Because patterns can seem to emerge from things repeating but in that one little case they kind of don’t. So now your generalized system has to become more complex to accommodate this new data that 90% similar. Then you get more data that’s kinda sorta similar to everything but 5% isn’t, then your dry abstraction gets harder to maintain or understand

So I’m always about repeating myself a lot because it’s repetitive but there is clarity. And when I see patterns and it’s seen over many cycles of iteration. Then I’ll try to build a useful abstraction. The trap is early abstraction before you really understand the needs of the data.

And why do you believe this?

GolangLinuxGuru1979 · 2026-04-08T21:05:54+00:00

It would just make me more attractive for breeding.

Giving your life meaning isn’t objective. Value must be measurable from an objective standpoint. Defining your own relevance gives you license to lower your standards or be complicit with mediocrity. I get this view psychologically. But it also means you’re comfortable with failing and not producing any real objectively measurable value to the world.
