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.

As far as I know Nolan is one of the top viltrumites? Huge gap between him and the very strongest, but still.

I was suprised she was so strong considering she looks so young, but maybe I mistead her age. Besides, Mark was able to beat Thula and she looked far older than even Nolan, so maybe the age thing varies significantly. I mean Mark is obviously going to become stronger than Viltrumites that are older than him at some point in the story, so ig the lore has to accomodate for that?

Kind of like Danaerys' dragons growing freakishly fast ig.

The way I took it was that Nolan wasn't demonstrating everything he had on Earth. Maybe he was a bit when he beat the brakes off Mark, but it didn't seem like he had to try much there either. Nolan is probably still much much stronger than Anissa (we may get a taste of this very soon), but Anissa was showing more power than Nolan did on Earth because she's not there to protect it.

Yeah that was my interpretation too!
