So will Marks brother get viltrumite powers?

u/Gotisdabest Nov 24 '23

Wait, he's still alive? I thought Mr Frenktestine would have killed him and Nolan's wife before heading out.

u/CaptainRonDiablo Nov 24 '23

I wondered the same, but Nolan did send the wife and kid deeper into the cave. Assuming Steve Harvey gathered up his guts and went straight for Nolan and Mark.

Lol Steve Harvey, holy shit. I can't unsee that now.

The character actually was directly based off Steve Harvey's appearance.

Steve Harvey barely managed to get there, I don't think he looked for the family

I don't think he looked for the family

You could say he was too focused on the feud

They wouldn’t just introduce Mark’s brother only to kill him off instantly

u/Gotisdabest Nov 24 '23

I can see them doing that to push both Nolan and Mark further to the edge and potentially to build upon the idea that nolan is just falling deeper and deeper into depression, but yeah, doing it offscreen would be weird.

u/Jamies_awesome_rack Nov 24 '23

I was fully ready for it with the reveal that he doesn’t even have a name yet.

The viltrumites wouldn't come to the planet to kill that baby, win, then not kill the baby.

u/futuredoctororwhatev Nov 27 '23

They didn’t know about the baby

u/HippieDogeSmokes Nov 25 '23

They could’ve just forgotten

u/Downtown-Item-6597 Nov 25 '23

As interesting as it would be, I'll be extremely disappointed if that baby isn't dead. It's so stupid to have them "forget" their primary reason for being there. And even if they did, at any point, one can remember, fly over and kill him in a second now that Omniman is gone. Same for virtually any "Mark sneaks the baby away to earth" plan, it's simply not doable.

u/HippieDogeSmokes Nov 25 '23

They didn’t know the baby existed until they saw it though, they were only there for Nolan and left when they got Nolan

u/HippieDogeSmokes Nov 25 '23

the only Viltrumite who knows about it is the one who got slashed and he’s currently passed out in recovery
