Do you think the Guardians Of The Globe could have won if Red Rush had stuck to just bailing the others out of death and hadn't attacked himself, or do you think everyone was doomed no matter what? They did put up a great fight even after he was removed, so I think it's plausible they could have. DISCUSSION

I agree with you, but the alternative is mass death and destruction. It isnt even a question of "if" humanity can resist them. If surrendering doesn't involve enslavement or subjugation of some sort, then it would be such a smarter decision to go with it. Especially if future children will be super powered. Cecil should play the long game until he has a hybrid super army in 15-20 years

Cecil would not be in charge anymore, or alive for that matter, viltrumites likely would put at least one of their own as olverlord of the planet and maybe a puppet government.

Also, humans would NOT have a say on interbreeding and for sure they wouldn't be the ones raising them.

I agree with this as well. But Cecil could run an underground resistance and just stay in the shadows. There may be some sympathetic viltrumites at some point. Didn't we kind of see this in the main story? They fell in love with humans and their children?

All I'm saying it, I think any option besides trying to have a direct war with 100s of unstoppable beings should be heavily considered

I don’t think Cecil would live that long. A surrender is such a betrayal of his core self that Nolan would see right through it. If he lets Cecil live Omni man would be much less competent than portrayed

Cecil isn't a young man. Will he be alive in 15-20 years?
