I love Alan’s little smile. Knowing there’s no way out, he then decides to mock them… They toy with him like a pack of intergalactic dogs. Smashing him up, ripping off his arm and eventually slamming her whole arm through his stomach (the Viltrumite classic).

I'm also SO very glad he's aware enough to know "these guys are the bad guys. Like the actual worst. If I lie to them, they'll kill me. If I tell them the truth, they'll STILL kill me. Might as well have some fun and not give out any information since it's a lose-lose either way."

Too many shows write the good guy giving some semblence of trust to the baddies and it always turns out poorly.

I'm just confused about the viltrumite behavior. They gave up on getting information pretty much immediately, and they told us in the same episode 10 minutes prior that viltrumites don't abandon their mission. Are they allowed to completely biff it on purpose?

They're meatheads who use raw overpowering force to win. They're probably not used to using finesse to withdraw information.
