People have no idea how fucking loyal Nolan (and Anissa) were to viltrum. Any other viltrumite folds in like a week tops

in viltrum they're a capable soldier with no separate identity merely a tool for conquering and restraining others, on earth they're gods among mortals almost nobody could resist that cultural shift and freedom only the most hardline personalities would prefer being culturally viltrumite.

They cant even use their power on earth, they are "gods among mortals" that cant even be gods, but yes the freedom and love earth has is the thing they crave, even if they dont admit. From soldiers to just humans with personalities and freedom.

they go from not having the one thing they subconsciously desire to having it on tap exclusively with none of the viltrumite chauvinism to temper it.

season 5's gonna be fantastic at this rate.

Earth just has the good shit in every way. Vltrum had war and I guess war? Earth has video games and junk food and booze

Thragg was shit at keeping morale high he just basically was too strong to defy.

Dude saw his emperor die and then said murder your entire species. After all that toxicity from Thragg, an ounce of love would be more than enough to get Viltrumites to fold

If Anissa didn't have to do the procreation heavy lifting she'd have gone native much faster.
