Why did the Viltrumite Empire have a Grand Regent when their Emperor was still alive and well?
Where was Ttragg when the emperor was killed?
>>153508843>The Emperor's death was an Inside Job!
>Thragg has no problem with ordering viltrumites to purge like 90% of their population to weed out potential traitors>spares Mark and Nolan who are active confirmed traitors because he doesn’t want to see any more of his people dieHoly asspull
>>153508815Space faring civilization made it into separation of powers
>>153508815Thragg wasn't in charge yet as Regent, it was just a title. In a civ where Darwinism demands you could be murdered at any moment and it'd be justified why wouldn't they have a Regent?
>>153508815sounded cool
>>153508815He was Argall’s right hand.Hope they expand his relationship with him, with Argall being the closest to a father figure to Thragg.
>>153509156There's a difference when your population is in the hundreds of billions and when it is less than 40. Can't pick and choose your genetic diversity by ideology from that.
>>153508815When Thaedus stabbed Argall, where did he get the bones for his dagger?
>>153510202It absolutely must have came from a Ragnar
>>153508815>Thragg orders a big purge of any weakness who could be traitors>also lost track of any of Argall's heirs, who possibly could have died in said purgeThragg doesn't really think things through a lot.
>>153509513Both Nolan and Mark are traitors who not only fought against their Viltrumite enemies but also joined in the destruction of planet Viltrum. Nolan in the comics and most importantly in the T.V. show, since he led the assault that leads to the planet's demise, should have gotten the axe because these crimes are too large to ignore. It also doesn't help that Thragg made that stupid plan to attack Telescria but did not participate in the assault nor in the Viltrum Battle when most of his forces were getting mulched fast.>>153509435I wish 'Hurm' was removed and episodes shuffled a little so that we could have had a single flashback episode with Argall, Thragg, Thadeus and sprinkling in more Pre-Purge lore about Viltrum.
>>153509156Why does cloning not work for the Viltrumites? I mean, Allen was engineered, right?
>>153508815The more I learn about Viltrimites the more I think Goku (brain damaged as a child) would be a better ruler
>>153511120Thragg is the stupidest villain in fiction.
>>153509156Not only is there only 37 or so Viltrumites left, but clearly Thragg wanted them around just in case for when it came to assimilating into Earth, having no idea what they'd face when descending down on the planet and to most likely get the Coalition to not do, well, exactly what Allen ends up doing.
>>153508815It's kind of like Prime Minister maybe? All the bitch work but final decisions are made by the Emperor?
>>153511923They don't have cloning tech I reckon.
>>153509156Kirkman is ruining his own story
>>153509156That was before the Scourge virus cut them down to just 50. Their population was still in the billions after the purge.
>>153508815All the changes the show made have been awful
>>153509156I swear online discourse has only gotten worse since indians flooded the internet. Literal double digit IQs and the media literacy of a wet turd. Fitting really.
>>153512074It was better in the comic when the purge started before Thragg, and he was merely the one who emerged on top.
>>153511120Wasn't that the point? He didn't wanna find Argall's heirs because then he'd have to give up power. Plus it's clear when he finds out Nolan is an heir that he values power over Argall's blood, which is why him ordering the purge wasn't counterintuitive to him.
>>153515108>media literacyah yesthe writer could think of no way to have the protagonist live
>>153515132He literally holds the man's skull as more important than ending their enemies. holy shitwhy do you faggots bend over backwards to defend bad writing?
>>153509156Viltrume deserves their self imposed genocide.
>>153515135He's right, you're a retard
>>153508815Designated regent. Quasi-heir until a real heir could be found
>>153515871cope seethe and dilatei accept your concession
>>153511977Because you are reading a very shit parody of DBZ written by a guy with daddy issues who wants all men to look like Freddy Mercury with shitloads of gore because they still think that’s a thing.
>>153515899>until a real heir could be foundHow much pipe was Argall laying that he didn't know which Viltrumites could be his own kids, like goddamn man couldn't even remember which chicks he banged?
>>153516412I thought "maybe Viltrumites are communally raised like in Plato's Republic" but no, they get jumped by their parents once they enter adulthood. Genuinely have no idea how Argall doesn't know his children
>>153516412>>153516505Anons, they fuck like psychotic Klingons. Their courtship ritual literally boarders on rape.
>>153516505Okay I just looked into the comicThey couldn't find Argall's heirs because his assassination and the purge happened AFTER the scourge virus outbreakThe changed order in the show makes no fucking sense
>>153517283Forgot file
>>153517301This was Mark's version of the story.
>>153517310It's probably correct. He has no reason to lie
>>153517329Mark is operating off second hand information
>>153517391He is emperor at this point. He definitely has access to whatever records the Viltrumites have.
>>153509435they'd end up making them gay lovers
