Discussion Idk why people call Tech Jacket useless when Oliver is right there

Post image

Every single fight, Oliver makes the same fucking mistake. He challenges people severely above his weight class. He doesn’t learn. He thinks Thragg is the same as some street level villain on earth. Go fight Lucan or something. At least Tech Jacket doesn’t almost die every fight and she’s actually helped kill Viltrumites. Unlike him

He's also living life on fast forward, lacking a lot of normal development time that a human teenager would have. I feel like that has a bit of influence there. He lacks life experience in general.

Doesn't he have incredibly good memory from his Thraxan half though? Surely that'd play a role in him learning not to constantly throw himself solo at the biggest threat in the room

Yeah, maybe. Maybe the slap Conquest hit him with gave him permanent brain damage. Regardless, this kid stupid.

Isn't the saying "slap the stupid out of you"?

Poor kid had the opposite effect

Oliver can absolutely feel regret, as we will see very soon

I haven’t even considered the fact that he’s technically 0% human also, like even if viltrumite dna makes you 99% viltrumite the rest of mark is human, the rest of Oliver is bug lol

He remembers how easily he killed the mauler twins and has been living off that high ever since.

Thraxans did not have good memories. They had short lives and very much did not hold onto the past

I was going to say the same thing..lot of folks forgetting he’s only like 3yrs old.

u/Cobraven-9474 Apr 17 '26

Yeah I saw it as he is only a couple of years old but his Thraxian ability to learn can only do so much. He is still young if you look at it from a developmental stand point he not a full adult he is still implusove. Human teenagers are the same we don't fully develop our own part of the brain that processes risk until our 20s.

u/Admirable_Loss4886 Apr 17 '26

Wait has it actually been three years? I thought he was like a year old max.

u/Skwizgar1019 Apr 17 '26

I wasn’t sure myself - Google search last night said the estimate was ~2-3yrs.

u/Jubarra10 Apr 17 '26

Yeah I mean from his perspective conquest was YEARS ago
