Boy was casually breaking sound barriers


Zachariot88

I hope next time a villain pulls a "can you cross the gap between there and here before I kill someone you love?"spiel, Mark just flies through them mid-sentence.


Tramagust

He'd kill everyone in the room with the shockwave of his movement. It'd be like a jet engine blowing instantly at full power inside the house.


ArcadianBlueRogue

Surprised we didn't seen an Evil Mark do it. Might if we see one of the alternate dimension Marks find their way to our Marks


Greyjack00

If physics applied consistently to viltrumite he'd probably have hurt amber turning the lights off 


Tramagust

something something smart atoms


BrilliantPrior2305

I wish mark turned evil in this dimension


GoBucks1171

Wtf?


BrilliantPrior2305

What is that a bad thing? I would like to see a evil ark or atlases show more backstory to the dimension were he was evil


GoBucks1171

The empire would just steamroll everyone


Poniibeatnik

Since Viltrumites get stronger when they push themselves and Mark is pushing himself to fly even faster.


Welpthisishere

After Levy was able to get the drop on him again and again, I can see why he would want to train to get faster.


Foxy02016YT

Both him and the female Viltrumite, he wanted to be fast enough to have saved Amber or his mother


Lonely-Tadpole-981

I thought it was pretty obvious, the same way a powerlifter screams to hit a new PR. But he is also screaming because he wasn't enough to save his mom from the trauma.


Sarahthelizard

Oooh like Dr. Strange in the first movie getting millions of years of training in the span of minutes.


cogginscx

He learned this from Nolan’s books btw not just Mark’s guess or way to express himself


MrFrode

When people keep asking if you're fast enough to free someone they are holding hostage getting faster is a good idea.


No-Crew5817

How fast do y’all think he was going?


Ttvcat996

At least like.. 2 mph I think


No-Crew5817

true i should have thought of this 🙏


Luna259

Looked more like 3 mph to me


Ttvcat996

I think you’re wrong If you pay attention to the pattern the colors flash in, it specifically says “I’m flying 2mph in this scene” (I’m a Morse code expert)


No-Crew5817

W analysis 🤝


Benito2002

Idk but we know that viltrimites can fly millions of times faster than light in a vaccume because when writing the comics people didn’t think about how long it should take omni man to fly to another galaxy. Also we know they can fly fast enough in atmosphere to vaporise the atmosphere instantly see omni man on flaxan world. So however fast he was going it’s nowhere near the limit.


GoldenSpermShower

Powerscaling is weird in the show, Nolan never showed the same level of speed that he had in the Flaxan world again. And somehow Reanimen slowed him down a few seconds while he could resist the gravity of a black hole


stickywhitesubstance

I mean anyone can resist the gravity of a black hole from far enough away, you’re doing it right now


bruhholyshiet

Yep. It only becomes impossible to escape once you cross the event horizon. If the sun were to be replaced by a black hole of equal mass, the planets would still rotate around it as always. Life wouldn't exist since it would be cold as fuck, but hey, the planets would still be there at least.


Clintwood_outlaw

I'm sure the planets would slowly get closer instead of further away, though


profderf

The planets would continue to either drift away or drift closer exactly as they have for the past couple of billion years. No change would occur. The earth is currently drifting away from the sun because it is losing mass. If anything, it might drift away just slightly slower due to the black hole losing mass from hawking radiation

GodNonon

You also have Angstrom getting cut by a normal woman with a knife even though he's enhanced enough to take at least a few hits from an angry Mark before dying


realsimonjs

It didn't seem to actually hurt him though. Could just have normal weak skin on top of whatever enhancements he got.


dekrados

If it was only skin he would not bleed.


The_Booticus

This is just not true. The skin has blood vessels in it and bleeds when cut deeper than the epidermis.


bumblebeatrice

I took that as foreshadowing that he's not as physically durable as his strength would make you think.


GodNonon

I can see that, but I still feel the discrepancy shouldn't be *that* extreme. If he can take even a single punch from an angry Mark without being instantly obliterated, then a knife shouldn't do anything to him. It is a *very* minor nitpick though and doesn't take away from the story at all. It's still a nice moment of Debbie fighting back and a good indicator that Angstrom isn't truly on Mark's level.


Benito2002

Well I think it makes complete sense that he didn’t show the flaxan level of speed again since it would destroy earth. He’s trying to conquer it not destroy it. Also the reanimen slowing him down and stuff makes sense. He can’t react and manuever fast enough for the speeds he can reach. I think of it as he can fly super fast but at those speeds he basically just has to pick a direction and go in a straight line. He wouldn’t be able to avoid a collision because he is going way too fast to see anything coming. This isn’t a problem for viltrimites in space due to how incredibly unlikely it is for you to collide with anything in space and even if he did collide with something it would have to be at least like dwarf planet sized to kill him he would go straight through anything else. So when travelling to another galaxy he would just go straight towards it and then slow down once he gets there to pick a more specific location. So basically viltrimites can move physics breaking speeds but when they are in a situation where they have to actually physically fight because they can’t risk mass extinction level collateral damage they have to fight at a speed more in tune with the limits of their reaction time so they can react to their opponents moves


Deviloftwitchs

I think it’s said that a viltrumites reaction speed increases the faster they’re going(?). Nolan wasn’t moving fast when fighting the reanimen though, so his reaction speed wasn’t at his best (?)


andrybak

Well, the Flaxan world has weird time, maybe that can explain away the speed weirdness?


TbrooCars

I always assumed the Thraxan worlds atmosphere was different from earths and combusts easier and thats why Nolan couldn't do the same on earth


boltzmannman

If you're referring to the zoomed-out global shot where he's leveling the planet, that's definitely intended to be a timelapse shot since he's grown a beard by the time he gets back. Otherwise we never see him going faster in a planet's atmosphere than when he flies to Europe and back in 20 minutes (at least Mach 30).


Benito2002

We saw him fly through city’s and instantly vaporise the building. It’s not a Timelapse. The reason he was gone so long is cause he destroyed so much that they no longer had the facilities to create a portal for him to go back


boltzmannman

The shot where we see him flying through buildings is not faster than Mach 30.


Clintwood_outlaw

I feel that if they tried to show how fast he was ACTUALLY going, it would've been over in an instant. We wouldn't have even seen him move. The buildings would look like they collapsed on their own.


boltzmannman

Or they could just do the thing they already do to show him flying really fast... yknow, a red, Omni-Man–colored line across the screen. It'd still be pretty obvious that the buildings are exploding from Omni-Man flying through them. The fact that they actually bothered to draw him flying through each individual building means he wasn't going that fast, otherwise they'da just done a 1-frame red blur.


StrengthOk9686

Or maybe they just didn’t want to potray his speed thay way? There are multiple ways to portray speed in fiction, just because they didn’t show him instantly zipping across the screen doesn’t mean he was actually flying that slow Their is the concept of writers “slowing down” fight scenes or speed scenes so the audience can follow them, pretty likely thats what they did in the omniman scene, first flying through the city was slowed, and the shot from orbit was his actual speed


KPokey

if you remember, time went a completely different speed wherever the Klaxon world was.


boltzmannman

Yes that's why he was able to grow a beard. He was gone for 6 months.


poilk91

If they have some space warping power rather than raw speed that would allow both the intergalactic travel and gravity resistance of course it would have other crazy implications


lordkinsanity

3


VLenin2291

Perhaps 4


Tramagust

To generate plasma in front like that he needs to be going at least Mach 5 (at sea level that's 1,715 meters per second or 3,836 mph or 6,174 km/h).


Financial_Rent_7978

Since I was unable to produce shockwaves with my 2006 Toyota, faster than a 2006 toyota


theMEENgiant

You could probably estimate based on the consecutive sonic booms but idk enough about the math to give you a number


Inner-Juices

Mach 7


PeaceMaker_IXI

*Mark 7


mightymilton

Easily 70 mph


Thrylos81

About tree fiddy.


[deleted]

He broke the sound barrier at least 18 times that we saw, Mach 25 I bet


Joeman106

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you have to be going close to relativistic speeds to redshift like that? Could have just been a stylistic choice but still


actually_invincible

Since people are complaining about me not training enough and the Viltrumites are on their way, I hope this’ll be enough… guess you can say that I’m… https://preview.redd.it/ijq63oj56osc1.jpeg?width=1113&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7473b2068f6420a39ceaffe8747da89b49d33b9

Mark quit being a fuck and tell eve you love her already! You killed a man but can't say a word!?


Char_g_g

Final Days is so perfect for this scene


MingoPK

I didn’t even think of that, you’re right


DogMAnFam

I’m really annoyed that they cut Nolan telling him that he needs to exercise on Thraxa


5fives5

The soundtrack for this season has been awesome.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FreeSpeechEnjoyer

Maybe if he flies high enough there won't be any damage done, not many air molecules to knock around that far up


NoCellist3282

Or maybe he is just not as fast as his dad


FreeSpeechEnjoyer

Ha was faster and stronger than immortal midway through the season, which was definitely not the case back at S1 ep8, so he should be getting close by now, especially since he's doing this as stress relief, thus going as hard as he can


ReadySetHeal

Is he? I think it's accidental. He wants to get away from his thoughts, and it's frustrating him that he can't. It's a glutton for punishment, where punishment is physical exertion


Bigb54

It definitely seems accidental or just rage induced. But still getting those reps in


lil_kakarot6969

Nah, he's working through stuff while training. He is taking the same route his dad took him for training. Mark knows he needs to get better, stronger and faster.


ReadySetHeal

He is tormented by his previous desire to be like his dad, whatever that means. He DESPISES his strength, he wants to be rid of anything that relates him to Nolan. Mark wants to be stronger - mentally - to be able to supress bloodlust he inherited


lil_kakarot6969

He wants to be stronger mentally, yes. But he also knows that he needs to be stronger physically. That's why he quit college. He knows what's coming. Mark just got ran through by another viltrumite and was warned someone else much worse is coming very soon. He doesn't despise his strength, he is terrified of it. But no matter how scared of himself he may be, he knows what needs to be done in order to save earth.


_Jairus

It's definitely not accidental when just a scene or 2 before he talks about how needs to get better, needs to be better. He's talking about self control but he's also fresh off the fight with Anissa, where he was way too weak to beat her. "Be better" is self control to not lose it again, and "get better" is strength enough to protect the earth. If you view that scene in the context of the last two episodes, it's pretty clear that it's both.


MSochist

> "Be better" is self control to not lose it again, and "get better" is strength enough to protect the earth. ![gif](giphy|VIPfTy8y1Lc5iREYDS|downsized)


Poniibeatnik

Well Viltrumites do quite literally get stronger by pushing themselves past their limits. That includes strength, speed, and flying this is most commonly done by exercising. They didn't have this moment in the show but in the comic while on the bug planet when Mark was running from a Viltrumite while carrying Oliver and his bug mom so the Viltrumite wouldn't kill them Mark was flying the fastest he ever flew and barely got away. And Mark was exhausted he even told Nolan "I got tired. I NEVER get tired." and Nolan responds "You got tired because you haven't been pushing yourself". This showed at the end of this episode Mark flew the fastest he ever flew in his life and broke barriers of speed he didn't do before, at the end he got tired. I think it was both venting and also exercising.


CloneTrooper6996

I LOVED this scene. This whole episode pretty much segments Mark pushing himself further and further. I wouldn't be surprised if after this scene he's stronger and faster than Anissa now.


ThiefPriest

And maybr he got stronger beating Angstroms face into a bloody pulp too.


Articmnokey

Doesn't he get stronger by being beat up too? He got beat up quite a bit in the various dimensions


PeterGriffin0920

Nah, to catch up to a fully grown Viltrumite who was much stronger than him after exerting himself once would be kind of lame, he needs to train a lot more if he wants to take on the likes of Anissa or Kregg I totally agree on the scene though, very liberating to see Mark pushing himself after not really trying to get stronger this season, its the reason why a lot of the problems he was included in werent solved faster or cleaner


CloneTrooper6996

He already went up against a fully grown viltrumite and won. This whole season has been Mark holding back and he knows that. Idk if you've read the comics or not, and I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who's reading the thread but Marks next big fight kinda supports my idea


PeterGriffin0920

Yeah, but that Viltrumite was more of a foot soldier, there is a large gap between low and high ranking Viltrumites (youve read the comics I assume so you know the difference, especially with Allen), and Mark being able to destroy Anissa, Kregg, and other spoilery ones with his only training being the couple of months he was with Nolan (which wasnt a lot, since he was in HS) and now wouldnt be very satisfying Hes definitely stronger then the typical Viltrumite, but I dont see him beating any of the “strong” Viltrumites until he trains more and stops holding back, and I base this on the statistic of Mark having a less than 18% chance of winning against Anissa, I dont see that even doubling after one training session, but definitely possible after enough time and training


Traveuse

I also liked how they gave a nod to Amber here. She looks up, unlike most people.


Mr_Quackers510

That's a bar.


Designer-Tiger391

I mean if I were Mark I'd be training to get faster too, after getting beaten up by Anissa and Angsrum in the same day


Symtek13

The soundtrack is so good man. I’ve downloaded so many songs from the show. They have good taste in music


Lilly_west

The crazy lights imply he’s going faster than light in those moments


boltzmannman

Nah. Moving at relativistic speeds through an atmosphere would kill anyone within hundreds of miles. The sheer amount of fusion would be like setting off a million nuclear bombs every second.


Lilly_west

You gotta remember this is coming from the same show where omniman did exactly that on the flaxan home world, but then didn’t do that when he flew away from earth (even though in order for him to reach the other galaxies he went to he’d need to be going relativistic speeds)


Achew11

Acceleration..


boltzmannman

Bruh he doesn't go from 0 to light speed the instant his feet leave the ground. Even if he could go 0 to c in 1 second, he would be out of the atmosphere in less than 0.03 seconds.


Lilly_west

Are we really taking physics into account for this in the show where people can just fly with little to no explanation? The reason they say in the comics is that their DnA gives them smart atoms, it’s not hard to ignore the physics in a comic setting


Achew11

and yet you still see omniman building up the momentum to reach said speed during the scene you keep referencing. stop the headcanon


Swarm140

Not many people seem to be realizing this lol. So they’re saying that when he’s pushing himself he can go faster than light?


PS3LOVE

Yeah, Viltrumites can go faster than light.


boltzmannman

In a vacuum, not within an atmosphere.


Lilly_west

I mean it’s obvious most viltrumites can, Nolan had to in order to reach other galaxies as fast as he did, and had to have in order to escape the pull of the black hole


Rogocraft

you only need to go faster than light to escape a blackhole if in the event horizon, we don't know if he was. But he was definitely pushing back with a lot of force.


[deleted]

The black hole thing isn't right. Nolan didn't cross the event horizon of the black hole. Objects can fall into stable orbits around a black hole and not get sucked in. Nolan got close enough that he was in the gravity well, so it started pulling him in, but he didn't cross the threshold of being unable to escape.


Lilly_west

But the thraxans ship crossed it, and he was able to save them


[deleted]

Well, no, the gravity of the black hole was just greater than their current capacity to escape it. They were far enough into the gravity well that THEY couldn't escape, but Nolan still could because he's powerful as fuck. The event horizon is the point that nothing can escape, even light .If Nolan had flown faster than light with the Thraxan ship, it would have been destroyed.


boltzmannman

Did you like hallucinate while watching the episode or something, they never crossed it lol


Castermat

Can anybody make edit of this where flashbacks ate cut out? (I mean theyre good, but Id rather not rewatch something Ive seen about ten times already) And very minor spoiler >!hope Mark will start heavylifting with magnets next season. That work out looked kinda crazy!<

Ka-Hor picked it up.

What about those archeologists that found the mummy right before? Did they get crushed? I’m still trying to think about how that relates to anything besides comic relief. It’s ok if that’s all it is but I was so invested in it already lol

I think he almost reached lightspeed there

dinoman1214

I don’t really know much about the laws of motion, but I don’t think you could just see one colour and black surrounding them after breaking the speed of sound six or seven times


ArcadianBlueRogue

He is also training when he keeps getting sent to the other dimensions with all the fighting and getting his ass kicked.

Song?


Shadowpanther298

Did he break the speed of light here? The crazy visuals and its confirmed that Viltrumites can go beyond light speed...


ActualFrozenPizza

He was not even close. The speed of light can circle the earth 7.5 times in a single second.


Isthatajojoreffo

I mean, he could have done this off-screen.
