A lot of her points make sense, but no way in hell earth would join the empire without resistance… and we know what happens to planets that resist Viltrumite rule

Plus no way the Viltrumites are taking Earth, even without resistance, without purging several billion humans.

I mean. The vast majority of humans probably wouldn't do shit. Not like if they could anyway.

The problem isn't that they wouldn't. They totally would, adding to the purge tally.

Agreed. We have weapons as well as superhumans and the people in power would definitely you what ever means they can to keep their power. But it would all be wasted effort. And millions would die for even attempting.

Then there be more retaliation, which would increase bloodshed. Till finally, after the dust settles, the Viltrumites would keep the survivors of the conflict and those who choose to be enslaved, and start a purge, only allowing the strong to survive.

But on the bright side, the conflict solve overpopulation, environmental impact, scares resources, and national conflict. Just at the price of over half the human population being killed off. Along with having new world overlords who will use us for their own means.

It doesn’t solve overpopulation, it just delays it

I don’t know. When interstellar travel is unlocked and a purge is introduced as necessary, population can be kept down on Earth for a pretty long time. Humans can spread to other parts of the galaxy and Earth has a very unfortunate for of population control.

I doubt Viltrum Empire would let conquered beings travel freely to other planets. They’ll have access to advance technology and healthcare… but Viltrumites will be behind the steering wheel the entire time. Additionally, while those who survive would benefit from leaps in technological advances provided by Viltrum Empire, it will come to nothing long term after Viltrumites plunder all of Earths resources and then dips (taking all the toys with them on the way out).
