I was wondering, what exactly does Viltrum get from colonizing planets like they do? The way Nolan puts it, it really makes it sound like their Empire is way too big for their own good. They don’t particularly seem in need of specific resources. I could maybe see slavery, but by the looks of it, one viltrumite operative pretty much beats the entire population of Earth, or any biologically comparable species, by a mile.

I do get somewhat the impression that it is a more ideological quest than like a tangible resources one. So that brings me to the next question: Is what Nolan said true? Do we know it from the comics? I’d imagine if they’re so old, they do in fact would have ridiculously advanced technology that could exponentially increase our quality of life, and given what just Omni-Man can do, it sure seems like one of them could basically watch over the planet and strong-arm wars into being ended? Is that what they do?

Although oppression is inherently evil, and the point is more that we don’t have a choice, and they are inherently fucked up supremacists, if we look at joining the Viltrum Empire out of pragmatism, what would that look like? Do we get to see any planets that are living under Viltrum’s control in the comics? Are Nolan’s promises true? And what are they expecting in return if they are colonizing worlds and basically giving them leaps and bounds in quality of life?
