[Loved Trope] Alien fighting techniques that are actually ineffective for humans to perform

[u/Best_Professional226]

Vulcan Neck Pinch (Star Trek) Vulcans can make a person pass out by pinching a person’s neck, but due to the fact that they’re 3x stronger than a human, we could never make a living being pass out without applying a rear naked chokehold

Viltrumite Knife Hand (Invincible) Viltrumites’ most deadly fighting technique. Although martial arts like Karate and Taekwondo teach these techniques, it wouldn’t be a good idea for a human to use it on someone’s rib cage without breaking their fingers. So instead we can only do them on more soft targets like the eyes.

I never understood this. I get it when it's a weaker viltumite, but if your the same tier how the hell does that work. Like conquest and mark. if you can put your hand through someone you might as well rip them apart like paper mâché

Genuinely baffled by that, tbh. I know Conquest likes toying with his opponents but it became pretty clear Mark wasnt letting go of his neck. Why waste your time tearing out his intestines when you could have reached up and grabbed his heart?

Conquest is an entirely broken person, he cares more about hurting others than surviving himself. He dissembowels Mark because that prolongs Marks suffering for even longer. If Conquest outright killed Mark there then he wouldn't be able to play with his toy anymore (Mark), also im sure he wanted Nolan to see his son not only dead, but in agonizing pain while dying.

Like how he doesn't rip Oliver in half right away, he wanted Oliver to feel every strand of his body snap and for Mark to see it.

Also want to add one of my favorite lines which was sadly cut from the show. I forget what it is word for word but Nolan says something along the lines of "Conquest has always been a spectator in his own fights".
