He'll learn from it, he's starting to understand viltrumite culture a little better with these fights. Nolan really screwed the pooch by being just sentimental enough to not murder his wife and child but not teach him any important context that would help him.

My guess is that this is a FMA-style development where Nolan hid potential anti-Viltrumite strategies in the stories

My guess was a lead back to Viltrum, with the idea that it would be a contingency plan if he got his mind forcibly wiped. He'd ofc read his own stories to figure it out.

Anti-Viltrumite strategies I think make more sense
