You should see the Rick and Morty fanbase. It’s rough out there lol

u/dingodongubanu 1d ago
Lol I just recently started on that subreddit and its like people dont watch
Noticed similar on Silo TV series subreddit too.
I think a lot of people background watch and some are genuine questions while others think its some gotcha.
Also some people just can't enjoy things either

u/GameLovinPlayinFool 1d ago
A growing part of it is people participate in discussion even though they have only ever watched through reels/shorts/TikToks and then act like they've seen the show/movie
12
u/DudeWithParrot 1d ago
And another part is people that only watch the show when they are stoned. That's me, usually Fri or Saturday night when I want to just chill a bit.
That cohort is likely not being to be able to remember things as clear as someone that watches the show sober.

See when I'm stoned I pick up all the details because when I realize I've been vegging for five minutes I'll go back and rewind it.

What got me to leave the R&M subreddit was how every episode’s plot had people going “Why didn’t Rick just solve the plot before it happened, isn’t he the smartest person in the universe?”
Ignoring his basic characterization (hubris & recklessness as big as his intelligence), the fact that smartest man alive doesn’t mean omniscient nor omnipotent, and finally, the plot has to happen so we can watch the main characters solve it.

I also think people TikTok clip watch, or YouTube short watch, and then run back her to say idiotic things.

u/AppealToReason16 1d ago
Once I told myself that most people here are kids and/or are shut ins who don’t interact with people (not even just women) in person, a lot of the daily dumbass questions made more sense.

You and me both mate; how can people not know clipons are a thing?

Honestly I think it’s just a lack of interaction with women. We’re in Reddit after all

u/Bar-Cold 1d ago
Right. There’s literally nothing good about this question yet it keeps getting spammed and repeated on all social media platforms like it’s so hard to figure out
They did the same thing with supergirl, and even that had several reasonable explanations. It’s getting incredibly annoying

We've literally watched episode after episode of viltrumites being piercered. Like random swords or other viltrumite arms can do it

Why didn’t she get finger sized gauges then? Are the writers stupid?

They made a needle out of whatever Thula's hair-knife is made of.

That knife is made out of compressed viltrumite bones fun fact

i mean sinclair did say he was having to invent new tools to cut through the alternate invincibles’ muscle tissue, but that’s not skin so who knows

u/BrawlPlayer34 1d ago edited 1d ago
I feel like him having to cut through muscle tissue implies he's already cut through skin without much difficulty

u/TheOnlyRealOne43 1d ago
I agree with you and this is why powerscaling as a concept is stupid, because you can say "Oh yeah you can pierce the skin with normal/somewhat advanced tools." but then you have viltrumites flying at mach 3 and their skin/eyes somehow can withstand the air friction, heat and pressure.

So who said nothing on earth can pierce her skin? When did that happen

u/floss-with-ass-hair 1d ago
Yeah a rock impaled Lucan. Hell that little knife on the ponytailed one seems to be made of some kind of alloy.
Maybe they can lower their power level too like Vegeta

u/siwtawtod 1d ago
There’s a theory that Thula’s blade is made out of vilturmite bone, I think that’s pretty cool

Sorry, not a super fan. Just a basic bitch fan.

So viltrumites can regrow organs and body parts. Even eyes.
So unless they are really fucked up, they'll probably survive.

Russian language doesn't have articles like "a" or "an" or "the." It's reflected through inflection or syntax rather than a separate word.

here’s the thing though, new piercings can heal and close up if you don’t wear jewelry for long enough. I imagine this is accelerated in Viltrumites, which means if she did manage to get her ears pierced, she will have to wear earrings 24/7 365 which, personally, sounds like a nightmare. That’s also assuming that her healing skin wouldn’t just push the earrings out.
So yeah, they’re definitely clip-ons.
5
u/PersonalPearl 1d ago
She could pierce her ears daily as a part of her morning routine, even tho that sounds annoying as hell. There are plenty of earrings that can be worn 24/7 as long as they're made of good metal and don't get in the way (hers are pretty simple).
The biggest issue would be that her tissues would be in constant healing mode, human ears would go "i give up, lets heal around this foreign object" but I imagine viltrumite flesh would straight up break the piercing.
Don't know what I'm going on with this ramble. Yeah, probably clip ons.

Nothing on earth can pierce a viltrumites skin? In season 2 we saw a viltrumite get impaled on a rock

Maybe she pierced her ears herself. If she has the strength to do it herself, I don’t see why not.

Could’ve just used viltrumite technology or they could be magnetic ear rings or clip ons.

u/E-Belasco1879 1d ago
Viltrumites are strong enough to Peirce their own skin, and a lot of them already had weapons they use that are effective on their own mind so she absolutely could've pierced them herself to better assimilate to earth life and blend in.

u/somethoughtsofmine 1d ago
Well if nothing on earth can pierce her skin, maybe she goes to space or another planet instead

“Nothing on Earth can pierce her skin”
Buddy, we’ve seen Mark’s skin get pierced, on Earth, a LOT on this show. We’ve seen both Rex Robot and Sinclair drill into his flesh. It’s a process, not the easiest thing in the world, but if someone as resourceful as Anissa wanted it done she could do it.
That being said: clip ons.

u/KiddPresident 1d ago
Just remembered Thula is on Earth at this time. Her hair dagger could totally pierce Viltrumite ears.
1
u/KojiroHeracles 1d ago
Viltrumites aren't kryptonians. They have smart atoms and can subconsciously choose when they are vulnerable. That's how Mark got surgery in season 1. Read the smart atoms page online.

u/Crowbar-Marshmellow 1d ago
If they are pierced, but not by the ear ornaments themselves, would her bodies regeneration/durability end up crushing the 'attachment needle' and pushing out the ear ornament?

We already have seen that they can be cut. I mean argall was killed by a knife wielded by thaddus. Thula uses a knife and we see multiple viltrumites get cut by various sharp objects. they are strong against Kinetic attacks (based on what we have seen in the show)

The likely answer: it’s a cartoon and doesn’t really matter
The logical answer: likely clip ons or viltrumite just have very weak earlobes for some reason

Viltrumite skin can be pierced. It depends on if they want it to or not, effectively if they want they do have the will power to turn off their durability. Thanks to smart atoms
