Sorry for lack of thumbnail, just wanted to get this out to you guys. Already have the next video in production, but I'm thinking we might run another Patreon poll for the next one. What do you guys think?

At this point, I’m still kinda on the Viltrumite’s side and was pissed as Mark just going “nuh uh”. Give us advanced technology and stuff. If the Viltrumites wanted us dead, we’d be dead already. Clearly, the whole “being ruled by them” wouldn’t be humanity being killed whereas, if left alone, that is not an unreasonable thing to assume will happen. Not to mention the pure utility of lives being saved. You want your freedom? Tell that to little 8 year old Timmy dying of cancer for whom the Viltrumites probably know a cure for or the countless people dying in poverty all over the globe.

I mean, spoiler alert, but they need humanity because there’s only 50 of them left. They would colonize earth. Fun fact about colonization, it means they take all of our natural resources and leave our planet barren. So we’d be breeding slaves that are having all our natural resources taken. The viltrumites promise a very temporary solution, in the end, earth would be destroyed and our people and culture erased.

Well yeah. “Breeding Slaves and we’re taking all your coal and oil” isn’t exactly a great sales pitch and, if I knew that was on the agenda, I’d be way less down for Viltrumite rule.

A poll for the next video would be great. I’m still very much team chainsaw man movie. Just something to keep in mind for the future. I know the digital release isn’t out and won’t be probably until after the next several videos you make come out.

Mob Psycho 100 please it's storytelling and ideals is so inspiring a la avatar i really think you would like it a lot.

Yeah, I mean that’s definitely why Anissa pitches it like it’s good for everyone. Actually a classic colonizer tactic so it’s pretty accurate.

Zack Abrams

Great video as always! I'm curious, are you watching Pluribus? I think you'd love it!

If the Viltrumites wanted to help, there'd be no need to invade. They could just give the "we come in peace" speech and share their technology, no subjugation necessary. It's kind of the the Fire Nation in Avatar, Sozin says he wanted to invade the Earth Kingdon to share technology, but why couldn't he just send some engineers out to teach the other nations how to buld steam engines? Like Gronkmonkey said, it's just a coloniser attitude and there's plenty of historical precedent. Once they see a group of people as inferior or uncivilized, they can just do whatever they want without feeling guilty. After all, they're just uplifting these backwater savages and saving them from themselves.

I don’t think even the Viltrumite making the claim that Viltrum rule is good is saying the Viltrumites are doing it for altruistic purposes. It’s clearly a superior -> inferior relationship. Depending on the specific conditions of the colonisation, it still might be worth it. Is it a paternalistic “controlling you for your own good” deal or is it a “your lives have literally no worth unless you can contribute to our war effort” deal? If it’s the latter, then sure. Bring on the colonisers. Set us up exporting food or clothes or whatever to you and you give us super advanced healthcare and protect us from our own infighting? Sounds like a good trade to me. Of course, this is all without the context for what Viltrum rule would really be like which I haven’t read the comics so I don’t know.
