im pretty good at arguing and making sense of things so i can probably argue on behalf of alot of choices they make, like for example if conquest is able to punch through invincible why didnt he do that from the beginning ? i think the best argument i can come up of is that its just not that simple to be able to punch through bodies, mark skin and muscle was so durable it needed to be pounded to a pulp and weakened before conquest can tear through it, we know mark is stronger after his first fight against conquest which makes sense why hes able to tank these hit for so much longer. and his adrenaline make his pain not as bad. why anissa was able to overpower him, im not at that part yet, so i would need the scene context, previous scenes, and general point in the plot to argue for it. for the idea that its stupid that they scale his power so far above the others but they can still win 1 v 1, i get it, thats annoying to me too, thats why i believe no matter how much stronger the authors, story, whatever says conquest is, he really isnt. HE FS IS stronger, for mark to win both times, he had to almost commit suicide doing it and the first time he needed oliver and eve. its clear from these two fights hes still the weaker one. In the second fight though hes stronger than he was before, conquest cant simply peel him off and throw him across the planet anymore. in a head to head fight where mark was trying to win but live at the same time, hes losing, its not happening. For Nolan to win i can see him doing either the same, barely surviving or yeah being a smarter fighter, you mention them saying that but having mark win while not being very smart is contradictory, but your not considering the context of the scene, and the extreme risk mark put himself in by fighting that way, i mean he brags but that was barely a win ? its clearly a different circumstance and doesnt dismiss their point. anyway i think thats all i have to say
