All this time he's been planning for a what-if scenario of Nolan returning to Earth, and he has literally nothing to show for it to stop a single Viltrimite?

Cecil expected Nolan. It's mentioned in the episode that Anissa is beyond Nolan's demonstrated strength. We know Mark can hold his own and defeat a single Viltrumite (Thula) in combat. We don't know how big the gap is between Mark and Nolan, just that Nolan is still stronger than Mark by a good margin. It will take time for Mark to catch up. Cecil mentions taking measures to beef Mark up in this episode.

Likewise, the Reanimen were still in progress. He can't instantly make all these measures happen.

don't

I personally think Nolan was holding back too, still pulling his punches with Mark.

I agree but there is no way for Cecil to gauge that gap

Nolan could barely take down a kaiju, Anissa immediately did

To be fair, Cecil pumped that kaiju with a shitload of super steroids specifically so it'd be able to fight against Omni-Man

Yeah, and I think this person's forgetting that Nolan beat Hail Mary before Cecil got a hold of it.

Only after it got roided up did it start messing up both Mark and Nolan at the same time.

Yeah I rewatched the scene. Cecil also removed its pain receptors. But my point was Nolan struggled against Hail Mary the first time, that’s the whole reason they put it on ice and named it “Hail Mary.” Anissa didn’t struggle against this kaiju at all. But Hail Mary might have been much stronger than the random cruise ship one

The viltrumites do have a bit of a point, earth made Nolan soft
