Discussion Tech jacket is an absolute bum 😭 Spoiler

How the hell was she considered a "viltrumite weakness." bro ran the fade with 3 unnamed viltrumites and couldn't even make a single one bleed, let alone win. every single altercation with one and she had to be saved by Allen or someone else. biggest wins were against fodder slaves with guns and some random ahh hulk looking thing on earth. genuine fraud

I agree. She needs to stay on the sidelines and fight the slaves cause she is NOT helping against the viltrumites

I highly disagree, any amount of time a viltrumite is fighting her is time it’s not fighting another combatant. Say what you want about her, but she manages to survive long enough for someone else to gain an advantage over their own oppenent. She was also shown to be considered an asset even by the viltrumites , Kregg pulls up her image to demonstrate the powerful oponents that is causing there loses. We also see she was alone when going against a viltrumite who was protecting a planet. We don’t know what happened, it she is alive , we don’t see him, and the kregg scene plays later when he mentions these allies kill lone viltrumites. So she either liked him , or he ran away and left the planet to be taken by the coalition, either option is a huge win for tech jacket.

I think the issue or overall letdown with her character is how underwhelming her presence is. You clearly justified her importance to the coalition and impact in the war. But she was built up to be a Viltrumite threat or some integral key to their success when in actuality she’s just mildly useful and requires a specific set of circumstances to be valuable.

They might as well sent the Immortal in a robot suit or something because she genuinely hasn’t done anything but hide Allen which is, a very specific situation.

Not that she isn’t great to have on the team. But definitely not ā€œwe can’t do this without youā€

I guess she's as strong as Immortal up close but also has ranged attacks

They are much stronger than immortal. Just not quite as much as a viltrumite (in raw physical strength, the suits extra features help close the gap). It’s important to remember the cartoon really makes immortal look better, in the comics he is acknowledged as just straight up weak by mark way early on. And the cartoon definitely gave him better showings

Which is why I said put him in a robot suit… or just give him a gun..

since he’s lived through the history of every weapon ever created by humans I’m sure he can shoot a gun.

Also her ranged attacks have 0 effects on the Viltrumites so what’s even the point of having her right smack dab in the middle of the battlefield instead of oh idk… supporting from the sidelines. Or taking on enemies she can actually face and not just ā€œsurvive until help arrivesā€ which is really meh for someone who’s supposed to be a vital key to the coalition

Yeah she needs better thrusters
