I mean he does fly away whenever he wants. Its a pretty big plot point, where debbie gradually accepts this and lets him go under the condition he plays it safe

And he’s the goat bc he still got up despite KNOWING that he’s so outta his league in that fight

u/ItsAttanoo Mar 14 '25

fr let him shine as a team player because he's great at a support role

u/PhotographyRaptor10 Mar 14 '25

How old is he at this point? I’m thinking like 2 years old max. He’ll be hitting as hard as the other viltrumites in no time

54

u/Disastrous_Ad7477 Mar 14 '25

I think so yea, chronologically about 2 years or so. But I THINK, I’m like 20% sure biologically he’s 8 or 9?

53

u/PhotographyRaptor10 Mar 14 '25

Yeah his body is definitely that of an 8-10 year old human it’s crazy he’s really just a toddler facing life or death situations

Edit: I looked it up he’s closer to a year old 💀

u/nikolanb Mar 18 '25

Yeah,imagine being a year old and fighting someone your whole race(from dad's side) fears.

u/Accomplished_Bite974 Mar 15 '25

I thought that he's only like 70% Viltrumite DNA or something? So I guess his power ceiling might be lower than Mark who's like 98%, but also he ages crazy fast, and older Viltrumites are stronger, so maybe he'll overtake Mark for a bit but die of old age before Mark has a chance to age/train into getting stronger, but Mark would outclass him long term?

u/PhotographyRaptor10 Mar 15 '25

I would assume mark will outclass him long term but as you said there might be a brief period where oliver overtakes him. If he continues to age at the same rate he should be biologically 30 when marks 21. But all that’s speculation right now 🤷‍♂️

Oliver has so much potential. Really hope he doesn’t get killed as a motivator for Mark. I thought it might happen against Conquest.

And then coughed out his teeth.

u/CordobezEverdeen Mar 14 '25

Like a hero.

GDA dental plan must go crazy. They’ve had to replace half the cast’s teeth by now.

u/Ok-Reporter1986 Mar 14 '25

Its the US, the whole agency is knee-deep in that privatized military moolah the government is so eager to spend. 

(Before anyone starts an argument about that, I am aware they spend more on medicare... somehow)

1

u/lordluli Mar 14 '25

It’s fine, they were probably just his baby teeth

7

u/killerboy_belgium Mar 14 '25

the fact he couldnt even keep up when conquest was doing his series of punching mark in the air the man flew punched slowed down flew punched again and oliver couldnt even keep up

3

u/stillinthesimulation Mar 14 '25

And now he’s gonna be taller thanks to Conquest’s helpful stretching!

2

u/Nut_Slime Mar 15 '25

That's the thing – he didn't know that. If he did, he wouldn't even try stepping in. He hadn't encountered anyone stronger than him until that point and didn't have a great idea about his limitations. In the end he proved to be a liability.

u/Downtown-Public1258 Mar 14 '25

That bounce move conquest pulled on Oliver was awesome

47

u/CocoTheMailboxKing Mar 14 '25

Little guy got spiked 😭

73

u/DempseyRollin Mar 14 '25

The way they animated the impact of that strike and Oliver's reaction was fantastic - you can tell by the look on his face that he's thinking he's never been hit even 1/10th as hard as that in his entire life.

42

u/dchrenko Mar 14 '25

Conquest almost ripping Oliver in half was the most compelling animated clip I’ve ever seen. I felt this fight outdid Invincible/Omni Man. The last 2 episodes of season 3 were so good.

12

u/tinyrottedpig Mar 15 '25

I love too that the second punch he took actually had a delayed response, bro wasn't shocked from getting tossed through several buildings, but was absolutely horrified when he puked up all his teeth.

23

u/THE_A_TRA1N Mar 14 '25

i mean he wasn’t wrong an epic beat down did commence immediately after that was said

115

u/hell_jumper9 GDA Troopers Mar 14 '25

With the way how that scene played, I would've never feel awful if he died on that hit lmao.

203

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '25

genuinely good that oliver was finally humbled, he had never fought a real life threatening villain and now he’ll realize it isn’t always fun and games to be a hero, just like mark had to find out. It sucks that the person humbling him was fully ready to rip him in half (and probably eat his heart, something tells me conquest doesn’t lie) instead of someone less vicious.

u/Cro_Nick_Le_Tosh_Ich Mar 14 '25

something tells me conquest doesn’t lie

The MF pours his heart out mid fight. He's a victim of his own success. KhaliConquest

34

u/metalflygon08 Reanimen Mar 14 '25

and now he’ll realize it isn’t always fun and games to be a hero

And he's not always going to totally outclass the bad guys he goes up against.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '25

That’s mostly what I meant, Oliver had only gone up against maulers, elephant man, and a phony invincible (he had a lot of help with this one). Conquest is an entirely different beast, even someone like Omniman would struggle in a 1v1.

2

u/tosaka88 Mar 15 '25

Yeah, all this time Oliver never really met his match, Powerplex could've hurt him but Mark was there to stop Oliver from getting hurt.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '25

Well…. He wasn’t wrong.

2

u/DNosnibor Mar 14 '25

That was so funny

1

u/LikelyAMartian Mar 14 '25

To be fair, he never said who was getting that epic beat down.

He just knew it was coming.

Man is a prophet.

1

u/SiegeGoatCommander Mar 14 '25

He was... not wrong

74

u/No_Lie_Bi_Bi_Bi Mar 14 '25

Yeah but that's because he's mentally a child and is impulsive, not because he doesn't love or respect her.

34

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '25

It seemed like Oliver was willing to listen to her this most recent time. But she was afraid mark was going to die. Not that she could’ve predicted how strong conquest was.

20

u/Public_Roof4758 Mar 14 '25

I mean he does fly away whenever he wants

I mean, he stops when she ask to.

Another thing is, we see him with the size/characteristics of a child. And probably, because the viltrumite DNA he is still a little bit of an teenager in brain development.

However, we can't be fooled by his look, he is a bug alien that the species die after a year. In his point of view, he is already an elderly in his society, he already lived through multiple lifespans of his species. And he still listen to Debbie

3

u/ResortFamous301 Mar 14 '25

His views as a half thraxxan bit more complicated.

8

u/saphrax805 Mar 14 '25

I havent finished the series yet but I feel he respects Debbie until Marks in trouble then its gloves off.

6

u/Vivid_Following_3473 Mar 14 '25

Please I hope this fandom doesn’t fall into the trope of not watching the damn show. Oliver was about to fully listen to whatever Debbie told him, but she said go, strike fast and keep him on his toes. She knew how much pain it would have put him in to stay home and do nothing.

4

u/BlackFrank98 Mar 14 '25

Debbie: "Don't let him grab you"

Oliver: [proceeds to get grabbed and almost ripped in half]

I must say, I found it impressive that Debbie actually understood how Oliver should fight to have the best chances against Conquest. Not that Oliver alone could have beaten Conquest, but still, her advice was pretty good!
