That guardians of the globe scene was 100x harder to watch than in the comic.

My god... the setup for it... I’m legit feeling depressed

They're either massively nerfing Omniman's powers or the Guardians were a way more incredible force in this version of the story. It's going to create a weird disconnect if they continue the story to the point when other viltrumites can just completely wreck all of Earth's combined forces.

Fighting "fair" and in the open they are a threat to him. This is clearly shown in Reboot where they plus early!Mark are enough to stomp Nolan into paste.

The problem with Viltrumutes is that the GG were la crem de la crem, the best Earth had to offer... And it amounted to one (admittedly on the strong side) Viltrumute. As long as you have one Nolan level Viltrumute plus one slightly weaker one you are already facing a losing proposition. Dozens of them? No chance, just having them act in pairs would.be enough to overwhelm most of Earth's heros.
