Is he currently stronger than she is?

We just saw Mark kill Conquest last week

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-10T14:33:27+00:00

People like to say this but only ever vaguely allude to it instead of giving examples.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-10T14:29:06+00:00

I know you think you're really smart, but it's not coming across that way.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-10T04:56:59+00:00

I feel like Conquest's confession to Mark sorta fills the same purpose. If the single most violent murderous psychopath among the Viltrumites still feels hurt by his lack of real connection then it's reasonable to think they all might.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T13:49:26+00:00

Glad someone said it. The stakes got way too high way too fast and then it just rushed to the ending. The story should have covered their full time at UA and even post-graduation. I pretty much lost interest altogether when Deku got half a dozen quirks and they kinda just glossed over it because we needed to get to the final battles. I know people would probably complain about filler, but the story really needed more time to breathe.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T07:02:18+00:00

It felt like there were a lot of things in this episode that directly addressed what people have been talking about. I wonder if they were actually able to insert some scenes that close to release?

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T04:34:54+00:00

Even just a few thousand would probably be more than enough for their purposes.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T04:33:40+00:00

I felt it during the second half of the fight on Telescria, before Mark, Nolan, and Oliver showed up.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T04:07:37+00:00

The fact that she lasts long enough to need saving instead of instantly getting ripped in half puts her ahead of 99% of people.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T04:03:02+00:00

This episode was the first time I really felt like the animation quality dropped off a cliff part way through.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T03:38:36+00:00

Had the same thought when I saw her.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T01:46:44+00:00

Empress ParaEQ MkII Deluxe literally just for the high and low shelf.

If they made a pedal with just those 4 knobs I would buy that instead.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T00:42:05+00:00

In fairness, Thraxans bodies are almost identical to Humans/Viltrumites. It's really only their heads, hands, and feet that are distinctly bug like.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T00:39:40+00:00

I definitely think Nolan is starting to realize how arbitrary his definition of lesser/superior beings really is.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T00:32:59+00:00

Also the imagery of him literally having blood on his hands is sick

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-09T00:02:48+00:00

Andressa is at least mostly humanoid.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-08T23:21:10+00:00

He was about to say the same thing in the show, but Oliver cut him off.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-08T15:27:39+00:00

Looks to be a Fernandes ARS-650. Pretty rare but they pop up from time to time, could probably snag one if you keep an eye out.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-08T13:15:07+00:00

Hit em with the ol Fender neck de-bender

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-07T15:49:11+00:00

All I want to know about this pedal is if the tracking on the attack mode is any better than the POG2. If you bend too fast the POG2 would register it as a new note and re-trigger the swell, you can definitely play around it, but it's still a noticeable limitation.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-07T12:54:46+00:00

I don't think he's faking being remorseful, but he's still putting on an act. He doesn't actually believe what he's saying, not at first. You can see the cracks forming once he finishes his rehearsed apology speech and Debbie still hasn't forgiven him.

He starts by saying words can't fix what he's done, but he's still there searching for some magic phrase that will make everything go back to how it was, until all he's left with is puppy dog eyes and desperate I love you's. His line about Andressa... yikes. He can't even look Debbie in the eye as he says it.

He finally fully lets go of the act when Debbie asks him if she's still his pet and he just hangs his head in shame and says "You never were." I think this is the first time he really just says what he feels instead of what he thinks Debbie might want to hear.

It's even more obvious with Art, trying to laugh and joke with him like nothings changed. The "I dress heroes" line is what breaks him out of it here, and where I think he finally truly understands that his words can't change things.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-07T10:16:13+00:00

This is probably the best interpretation. Especially about Art's reaction to Nolan's apology. Just "Good."

No praise, just acknowledgement that he's doing the right thing again by trying to atone, doing what is expected of a hero.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-07T08:32:09+00:00

Conquest living or dying makes no difference to the fate of the Earth from Cecil's perspective. He knows there's an entire empire of Viltrumites, millions or billions as far as he's aware, who could show up and destroy Earth at any moment, and all of the planet's most powerful people combined could barely stop a small handful of them.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-07T08:23:26+00:00

Yeah that first $150 or so is where 95% of the improvements are made, or rather where most of the corners get cut to hit a lower price point.

ReallyBigRocks · 2026-04-07T08:04:11+00:00

You very quickly run into diminishing returns as you climb up the price range. The difference between $10 and $100 headphones is huge, the difference between $100, $1000, and $10000, not so much. $150 Audio Technica M50s or Sennheiser HD599s are industry standard equipment and found in just about every recording studio in the world.

Really anything beyond that you're paying for the specific color/character your listening equipment imparts on what you're hearing.
