That fight scene with those three Viltrumites and Alan was amazing!! They are so fast, they were seemingly teleporting between hits. So ruthless. Can’t wait to see more development within that.

I've said it before but, the show does such a good job of showing that despite being strong, Allen's no real match and the Viltrumite's are just on this different level of speed, strength and brutality.

And it seems in this episode, they especially focused on Viltrumite speed, first with Mark almost teleporting to turn the light off

They emphasized the Viltrumite superpowers quite a bit. Mark questioning whether drugs would work on him, the super sperm comment...

I just loved the Spider-man and The Boys references

The sperm comment was a nod to “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”

There's a spiderman arc where he kills maryjane too, he has radio active sperm, while superman has 50. cum.

Made me think of Hancock where he "busts" some large holes in the ceiling instead of his lady friend.

The sperm immediately reminded me of Lois Lanes murder scene.
