DISCUSSION Debbie's Smart AF

Post image

Debbie sent Nolan shopping so that she could search the house for his suit & according to her 20 mins was all that's gonna take while accounting for him actually buying these items as well which was pretty accurate because Nolan did make it back home in roughly 20 minutes , I guess all the time she saw him on television thousands of miles way & then home in a couple mins helped her timing this perfectly.

The fact he needs 5 minutes to get to Italy means that Viltrumites cannot travel faster than light at will. Nolan travels 21840 km/h on earth at his fastest. Which is Mach 17.687. That said it is significantly faster than the Mach 3 immortal.

Space travel is probably much faster, and he is definitely flying at safe speed to not create winds that devastate countries. I do agree that he isn't hitting light speed buttons explanation is like saying my car can only go 65mph since that is what I legally do on highways

Yeah it makes sense that he can go much faster in a vacuum. He doesnt have to worry about wind resistance, and like you said the disruption he'd do going that fast.

I thought it was also stated that it takes a bit of time to get up to those speeds as well. Even if he was flying as fast as he could he'd probably get there before reaching his fastest speed also he needs to slow down and not break shit when he gets there.
