It's been awhile since I read the comics (and I know for sure it wasn't this long), but that fight felt more brutal than I remember it to be.

Yeah it wasn't anything in the comic just "I never liked you" then Omni-Man covered in blood over their bodies. Honestly I prefer the show version that was nuts.

It was great to watch in the show, but I kinda miss Nolan killing them all without a sweat. It helps to establish just how much more powerful Viltrumites are. Makes them more terrifying. Although it is cool to show off the Guardians as being the premiere superhero team to hold their own against a Viltrumite.

I think its interesting because in this version its possible he was holding waaay back and letting them beat the shit out of him so when the GDA showed up it'd be more believable

That’s a good explanation. I was wondering how the power level of Nolan here would affect future Viltrumite threats down the road, but if Nolan is holding back as to make it more believable that they all were attacked then it works better.
