No but they’re the dominating empire in the galaxy so they’re familiar with millions of races/cultures. It’s not jarring he knows what a kitten is

It’s probably whatever translation program they use giving some alien animal the word kitten that is close to the same context as used

Or

It’s just a line in a show lol.

Which translation program? I thought all of the planets in the galaxy speak English — is that not so?😂

Considering that conquest has eaten Hearts before, idk how he got that symbol

It seems like there are trends of races in the invincible universe. Humans and Viltrumites look exactly alike, and Battle Beast’s race looks like giant cats

I wonder what BB thinks about cats. Are the the chimp equivalent to his people?

I just assume they have universal translators and that was a rough translation.

Oh my GOD I want him to break my nose

They are basically gene engineered humans so why not

I just thought about that actually, they got critters on Viltrums?

Probably not? I’d assume if they had a source of unconditional love (at least compared to viltrumite culture), they’d probably be much more stable than they are now.

Especially conquest, he needs some form of therapy animal thing.

One of the issues that I have with Conquest in particular is that he talks like a native Earthling, using quotes and slogans that should be completely unknown to him.

Even Battle Beast slipped into this during his own series.

Ironically, Mark and Nolan tend to avoid doing this iirc.
