I enjoyed this episode, but the dialogue wasn't that good. The thing with Omnipotus, Rex hinting at the second catastrophe and the scene at the end with Allen. Why does ripping off his beard mean he's a Viltrumite? Did I forget something they mentioned in the third episode?

Totally disagree, I thought the dialogue was great this episode with Rex as a stand out. Amber’s pushing down of her emotions while talking to mark, Cecil and Donald, Mark standing up to Cecil… I thought it was all so great honestly

That are all great moments and great dialogue. That is the reason I have not criticised them either. I critice the mentioned three.

To me, omnipotus was a gag with Immortals “no”, fair if you didn’t like it but I chuckled. The Thaddeus viltrumite thing to be fair is also not that well explained in the comics but it’s a cultural thing as the other person said, but honestly I think you’re supposed to see the mustache and be like “ahhh a vilturmite.” I don’t think three instances makes not great dialogue tho, esp when the rest of the episode was so strong
