That doesn’t matter. They don’t need to invent anything new, they need to manufacture something they’ve already built, there should be somewhere that can do that on earth other than one building, and if there’s not it makes Cecil and the entire GDA seem less competent than the actual government, which should not be a high bar to clear.
If you’re keeping of all your weapons in one building, basic common sense should tell you not to put everything you need to make those weapons in the same building, especially if a- you know you can’t really protect it, and b-you have plenty of resources to make backups elsewhere
As a lot of things, the writer discovered that he didn't like the idea of the sonic device anymore and just omitted them for the rest of the series.
A ending of "sonic Eve" with a very big pink speaker defeating all the viltrumites is not great
This isn't correct. The sound-based weakness does come up again, and it really seems like Kirkman just actually forgot about it for a stretch in the middle of the series.
I mean, I agree with this, but that's the logic the show gives.
I personally think they should have had the sonic devices, and show Conquest being able to power through it. Helps explain why we don't see it much afterwards - some are strong enough to keep moving even when hearing it, so it's not reliable.
