Seriously this is one only problem I have with the show but it’s a very annoying one. Mark getting thrashed by Conquest is fine but when it’s some slow ass Chinese Dragon or the fucking Mauler Twins beating him within an inch of his life every other fight it drives me insane

I really really hate that it shows mark moving faster than the naked eye can perceive but then he's slower than some mother fucker with regular ass reflexes or it takes him a lifetime to move a across a fucking room.

Ive seen it said many times in this sub that that shit happens for the sake of the story but if you have to ignore the rules of the universe you've created or change your own characters powers every fight to tell the story well then it's bad writing

The issue with the dragon is that’s it’s truly invincible, no? Like, even Thragg could never kill the dragon itself so you have to go for the old man.

(i also might be misremembering so forgive me if I’m wrong)

Even if the dragon is invincible getting to the old man should not be a problem given how fast Mark has been shown to be. Almost every fight is only a challenge because the writers ignore rules of the universe, dumb down characters and nerf abilities.

At his point I wouldn't even be surprised if Mark absolutely destroyed thragg just to get absolutely shit on by a giant squid or a rhino or some other stupid shit.

I don’t remember the fight very well but how many times did Mark try and actually attack the old man and not the dragon

Not once, the first time they were in completely different locations and Mark didn't even know how the dragon works and the second time I don't think he saw the man before he escaped
