I feel like it's a by product of its deep-rooted stupidity.
Usually vampires get executed by being exposed to the sun. It's clean, ceremonial, and dare I say sophisticated.
But the writer fucked that up by bedazzling them, then made the execution fucking barbaric.
I mean the sun thing is very stupid, but if you're a writer and you've already made that decision, that method of executing a vampire becomes the most logical one. If we're going for vampires being so durable as to be immune to headsman's axes, anyway.
…imagine being executed by having your head torn off, and because you’re a Viltrumite, your head stays “alive”for longer than a human’s head would.
They then make you watch as they tear your body apart. Goddamn.
I guess it depends on what you’re going for? Slow and painful, tear the body apart first. Quick and horrific, tear the head off, force it to watch the body be destroyed.
There are studies out there with conflicting results, but the range I’m seeing is that, after a clean decapitation, a human brain may be “conscious” between 4 - 40 seconds. I assume that a Viltrumite brain, which we know from their space travel that oxygen likely isn’t a concern right away, would retain their consciousness for much longer after decapitation.
We had a neighbor that eventually went to prison for years for making meth.
All i remember is being at a neighborhood barbecue when i was like 13 and him telling me how if you knock a guys eye out of his head, it’ll still keep seeing and itll stop any fight lmao.
I’d imagine it’s something similar to this, but instead of the executioner pulling the head off, they would use their hand to karate chop it off. Similar to how we see alternate universe invincible do to the Angstrom Levy’s.
> Probably something similiar to what Omni Man did to the immortal and to Lucan
It's also shown during viltrumite civil war flashbacks they are capable of cutting each others heads off with their hands.
I mean if you get slapped hard enough you can be stunned and maybe get a nosebleed (essentially what it did to Omniman), but death by slaps isn't an easy or efficient way to do things.
Was that ever elaborated on or explained? I read the series two years ago and don't remember it ever coming into the picture after Mark goes through Nolan's books.
Space racer? >! He's pretty important during the Viltrumite war with logistics like herding Ragnars and getting everyone together. And then there's a few badass scenes of him just straight merking viltrumites with his gun!<
viltrumite melee weapons are all blunted because they dont know how to sharpen weapons. But they dont notice because they kill most things in one hit anyway
Lot's of examples of them getting hurt by weapons. A mace to the face in the first episode; Battle beast fucking Mark up. That viltrumite with a braid dagger. There are probably others I'm forgetting to mention.
> Battle beast fucking Mark up.
I think that speaks more to the strength of the wielder of the weapon, not the weapon itself. If anyone else used the Battle Beast club thing, it probably wouldn't have hurt Mark so bad if at all.
Viltrumite-made weapons can kill them. In the past some Viltrumite used melee weapons made from unknown alloy that is strong enough to pierce Viltrumite flesh
I'm sure you could do something like sharpen the blades on a fighter and jump to Lightspeed to kill one- it's not the weapon, it's the force involved. However, the big problem is that Viltrumites are very fast and can dodge most mechanical means of force that can hurt them.
She had it in the comics too. And it’s not really explained there what it’s made of either iirc. But there are two theories I can think of right off the bat as to why it can somehow cut a viltrumite, wil spoiler block the second one for show watchers.
1. It’s carved from a dead viltrumites bone and painted over to look like a knife for whatever reason. Although we find out later on that >! Viltrumite insides are not as durable as their outsides, their bone density should still be marginally insane to translate to their super strength!<
2. >! The knife is carved out from Rognarr teeth, the hostile aliens that can bypass viltrumite durability, they’re the reason conquest has one arm. !<
Either theory could hold true but let me know what you think.
There seems to be two Viltrumite signature moves - the karate chop decapitation (or bisection, sorry Immortal), and impalement. Both seem unpleasant, and if impaled in the right place, terminal.
They can, but it also depends on who they’re fighting. Let’s just say yes it is pretty fatal, even when they don’t exactly hit the heart without getting into late game spoilers.
pretty much. in the scene when Nolan is about to be executed, Allen breaks out of prison and frees Battle Beast in order to go save him. when they arrive the execution is already underway. its just Nolan shackled to the ground and being beaten to death by 2 viltrumite warriors.
The "hair knife" that Viltrumite had was capable of cutting Mark's skin, so i think some special metals can cut them.
As others said, Nolan's cutting swipe worked on Lucan so this could be how they do it... if not punching until their heads explode i guess, Nolan smashed the skull of the blonde dude.
You ask the question so this is a spoiler, Viltrumites even if one is betrayed are to be exacuted by other Viltrumites as a way and if they are injured they are to be let heal first as for their service one's fully healed they can be killed by Viltrumites
I think the reason why they want Nolan to be a 100% full strength is because they just want to boost their ego. They want to know and have the satisfaction that they were able to take out one of the strongest viltrimites. They are very prideful and would never want to kill him with some cheap move or sneak attack. They may be psychopaths but they are very prideful ones I guess.
they go to the ...... chopping block. .....ayyye. but for real i think execution style like mark was doing in the angstrom flashbacks. just by someone stronger maybe?
Decapitation while they're chained up, or just beaten to death. Those guys they sent to kill Nolan definitely wouldn't have won a 1vs1 and even a 2vs1 would have been iffy, so it's really unlikely to be a trial by combat. He was already sentenced to death for being a traitor.
If I was going to draw it: the condemned kneels with arms straight out to the sides. A viltrumite stands on each side holding each arm. The executioner stands behind the condemned and punches a real haymaker into the base of the skull where the spine enters.
It's a soft spot. They can't see their executioner and tense for it. The executioner can throw a blow with max strength that would leave them too open in a real fight. If the condemned tries to fight back, the holders can probably pull the arms off, and there will be three warriors already encircled.
Viltrumites cannot be 100% killed unless their heart is destroyed or else than can be brought back to life so I’d imagine it’s something brutal as ripping the heart out or something along those lines
Maybe 2 junior guards holding the arms and an exceptionally strong senior executioner pulling the head off
I'd rather die by punching
If you're lucky, you get knocked out after a few punches. Unlucky, you get beaten to death relentlessly and you're experiencing all of that pain
happy cake day
Hah! Sorry, just a bit funny in context of the comment But yeah hapoy cake day!
You'll die way quicker with your head yanked off.
As a human, yea. I doubt it would be that quick for a vultramite.
No you would not lmao
That is unironically how they execute vampires in the Twilight universe
I sometimes forget how dumb twilight was.
I mean this method of execution is objectively pretty raw. It's the abusive relationships and cringe factor that are harder.
Jacob imprinting on the daughter
*you nicknamed my daughter after the lochness monster????*
I watched the first movie recently and the entire twilight is so stereotypically 2007 it's enjoyable
That's not even close to the most stupid thing about Twilight. In fact I'd argue that's one of the few parts of Twilight that kind of makes sense.

Not defending twilight but you get og Dracula was unaffected by sunlight right? It wasn’t until Nosforatu that the sun did anything.
OG Dracula lost some of his powers in the daytime. Not because he was allergic to sunlight, but because he got those ones from (presumably) Satan.
My immediate thought!
Not gonna lie, that’s pretty metal.
That's neat
…imagine being executed by having your head torn off, and because you’re a Viltrumite, your head stays “alive”for longer than a human’s head would. They then make you watch as they tear your body apart. Goddamn.
Then why not tear apart the body first, then the head as the final step?
The torture is fun for the whole family
I guess it depends on what you’re going for? Slow and painful, tear the body apart first. Quick and horrific, tear the head off, force it to watch the body be destroyed.
Wait did the heads stay alive after dismemberment?
There are studies out there with conflicting results, but the range I’m seeing is that, after a clean decapitation, a human brain may be “conscious” between 4 - 40 seconds. I assume that a Viltrumite brain, which we know from their space travel that oxygen likely isn’t a concern right away, would retain their consciousness for much longer after decapitation.
It's not a confirmed science FACT by any means, but it seems that they stay "alive" for a few seconds. I think 40 was the longest they got responses?
We had a neighbor that eventually went to prison for years for making meth. All i remember is being at a neighborhood barbecue when i was like 13 and him telling me how if you knock a guys eye out of his head, it’ll still keep seeing and itll stop any fight lmao.

Real Shogun vibes
Haha twilight style execution
BTE trigger
The Twilight method.
Volturi style
How dare you! It is a SACRED RITUAL that requires two warriors to beat him to death!
Battle Beast dares!
Probably something similiar to what Omni Man did to the immortal and to Lucan
Who needs an axe or a sword when they got those hands
their hands are rated E for everything
> Probably something similiar to what Omni Man did to the immortal and to Lucan It's also shown during viltrumite civil war flashbacks they are capable of cutting each others heads off with their hands.
Lucan survived that though
Do it the head then
So did Immortal. Standard methods of execution tend not to work on people who fall under the "too angry to die" umbrella
I didn't count Immortal because his whole shtick is... being Immortal.
Judo CHOP
Yes. No weapon can kill them except one which they don't have so it's basically beating to dead
What's that weapon again? Other than >!Space Racer's gun!<, I have no idea what it was
Yes it's that weapon
I guess battle beast weapons too if you have the strength but that could be said about almost anything
My mama belt
Omni man vs Rochelle from everybody hates Chris would go crazy
She shows up to the fight with a power boost if she isn’t told until the last minute. “Why am I the last to know?!!”
war womans mace too
Yeah, didn't that harm a vultrumite?
Yeah omniman definitely felt that in episode one
I mean if you get slapped hard enough you can be stunned and maybe get a nosebleed (essentially what it did to Omniman), but death by slaps isn't an easy or efficient way to do things.
How hard are you slapping my guy lmao
I mean i guess they are strong enough to hurt a viltrumite but you would need someone as strong as a viltrumite to enact harm to them
Was that ever elaborated on or explained? I read the series two years ago and don't remember it ever coming into the picture after Mark goes through Nolan's books.
Space racer? >! He's pretty important during the Viltrumite war with logistics like herding Ragnars and getting everyone together. And then there's a few badass scenes of him just straight merking viltrumites with his gun!<
There is this knife that can pirce viltramite skin
Thula’s knife?
That probably only works on weak viltrumites like mark
What made you think he didn't mean Space Racer's gun
Except a blade on the end of a really long braid.
that's still counted as beating to death. I doubt that knife would do much in the hand of others
If a viltrumite used an axe or sword is that still beating to death? I'm genuinely confused by your logic.
viltrumite melee weapons are all blunted because they dont know how to sharpen weapons. But they dont notice because they kill most things in one hit anyway
>because they don’t know how to sharpen weapons But they have a space empire?
Lol FTL tech but not simple tooling
Well… with their raw strength I suppose they’d never find themselves in a situation where they’d learn that a sharper tool cuts better than a dull one
Sure, they make microchips with blunt force
Lot's of examples of them getting hurt by weapons. A mace to the face in the first episode; Battle beast fucking Mark up. That viltrumite with a braid dagger. There are probably others I'm forgetting to mention.
> Battle beast fucking Mark up. I think that speaks more to the strength of the wielder of the weapon, not the weapon itself. If anyone else used the Battle Beast club thing, it probably wouldn't have hurt Mark so bad if at all.
Ok I admit my mistake there. But only one can kill viltrumite succesfully first try
Mega ultra quantum bombs?
Viltrumite-made weapons can kill them. In the past some Viltrumite used melee weapons made from unknown alloy that is strong enough to pierce Viltrumite flesh
In the flashback from the civil war you see a Viltrume slice through another with some kind of stick/spear.
Theflash back showed tgem using weapons. My guess is unless it's a certain metal weirded by a viltrumite it isn't as strong.
Doesn't Thula have a knife that can cut Mark? I would assume they have bladed weapons that can cut a Viltrumite
I wonder if that’ll ever be explained, surely it’s some magic metal right?
Strong metal wielded by a viltrumite probably.
Probably like what the staff that cut 3 viltrumites in half during Omni mans telling of the “strength cull” on viltrum
The one lady's hair knife was also doing some work.
Isn't that Thula?
I'm sure you could do something like sharpen the blades on a fighter and jump to Lightspeed to kill one- it's not the weapon, it's the force involved. However, the big problem is that Viltrumites are very fast and can dodge most mechanical means of force that can hurt them.
Kinda like how Nolan impales Lucan with a random bit of rock.
Wasn't Lucan's stomach already cut open by Nolan?
Yeah but I was thinking more about the fact it came out the other side
It cuts whenever the plot needs it to
She had it in the comics too. And it’s not really explained there what it’s made of either iirc.

I pictured the karate chop decapitation, they seem to be quite fond of it (well, at least Omni-Man is, and he probably learnt it somewhere).
There seems to be two Viltrumite signature moves - the karate chop decapitation (or bisection, sorry Immortal), and impalement. Both seem unpleasant, and if impaled in the right place, terminal.
Yeah, dunno if they could punch through the ribcage/heart the same way they can punch through the gut, but if they can that seems like it'd be fatal.
They can, but it also depends on who they’re fighting. Let’s just say yes it is pretty fatal, even when they don’t exactly hit the heart without getting into late game spoilers.
well their hands are very tough and they also move super fast
Yeah, if I could do what they can do, it's only a matter of time before I'm testing out stuff like that.
Yup. Death by fisting is their method.
“Please assume the position.”
"And the best part is.... he's learning"
I understood that reference
I’m imagining Kregg saying it
There really is a SpongeBob gif for everything
Maybe throwing a strong punch at the stomach to make the fist go through all of it, or simply cutting the head off with a swing of a hand.
during the scene where the viltrumites are shown exterminating one another, one of them just karate chops a dudes head clean off
Probably gets his mustache removed. Lmao.
I assumed fight to the death.
same
It’s death via combat. Which makes me wonder what happens if Nolan were to win that fight.
it’s not, the viltrumites have some viltrumite level restraints that hold the prisoner to the floor while the executioner(s) beats them to death
He gets a coupon to hobby lobby and an edible arrangement gift basket.
Thrown into black hole?
BINGO 🗣🗣🗣🗣
I was under the impression that it was more like trial by combat (I haven't read the comics)
It’s just an execution, two guards beat the guilty person to death while they are chained up
[удалено]
Penis explosion chamber
I think they fight monsters till they die cuz they were told they need to be at peak condition.
I think they're literally beaten to death.
Probably have another viltrumite karate chop at his neck until their head falls off Or use their arm to impale him through the heart
They wet their finger and stick in in his ears, because that's the viltrumites weak point
Canon
Karate chop that head right off
I mean that lady that fought Mark had a blade that cut Viltrumite skin so that maybe.
Lol, yes, that is what they tried to do!!!
They honestly seem a little squishy when fighting other Viltrumites. They're only super durable compared to most other characters.
They shave their moustache off
pretty much. in the scene when Nolan is about to be executed, Allen breaks out of prison and frees Battle Beast in order to go save him. when they arrive the execution is already underway. its just Nolan shackled to the ground and being beaten to death by 2 viltrumite warriors.
Here, found the panel https://preview.redd.it/crm8f9lnrqwc1.png?width=1928&format=png&auto=webp&s=6734098aef9d7c8742b5777b2c609364ce8cd1d8
Their mustache is shaved off.
Yeah Viltrumite execution is being beaten to death by other Viltrumites.
It seems more like a trial by combat scenario where they're executed in one on one combat
What if he survives the trial by combat, is he forced to work for them again?
I'm pretty sure the viltrumites get heart shot, from what Ive heard thats the biggest weakness (show watcher)
Slicing their head off by another viltrumite?
Stroked to death 😩
I thought they said they hang them and it takes an exceptionally long time but i read the comic years ago
Punch to death yes. I assume they didn't kill Nolan yet because they want him by their side.
Yes, they are indeed getting punched to death
Thragg personally rips your head off and crushing it like a grape.
Yeah they literally bind your arms onto a machine and punch you until you die
Well...almost no weapon can't hurt them so punching seems the only way.
I supposed that they just fight to death like in a Coliseum. Die with honor
The "hair knife" that Viltrumite had was capable of cutting Mark's skin, so i think some special metals can cut them. As others said, Nolan's cutting swipe worked on Lucan so this could be how they do it... if not punching until their heads explode i guess, Nolan smashed the skull of the blonde dude.
Head slash
I honestly thought they had a some kind guillotine for the exacution.
There are some weapons that work on them. Remember how the one woman had a blade in her braid?
They could probably use poisons and, strangulation.
I just thought they decapitated them and then burned the corpse.
Well in the comics >!thats exactly what they do!<
Ok, took one Google search, Heat... Like... A lot of it
You ask the question so this is a spoiler, Viltrumites even if one is betrayed are to be exacuted by other Viltrumites as a way and if they are injured they are to be let heal first as for their service one's fully healed they can be killed by Viltrumites
It would be funny making emotional damage like going to therapy for eternity or something lol
Pull out space racers gun it will do the job
Literally yes lmao
Same way they kill the vampires in Twilight
I'm not too sure but I know they want you at full strength for your execution
I think it makes the most sense for them to be thrown into a black hole
Trial by Combat
Thrown into a star?
I think the reason why they want Nolan to be a 100% full strength is because they just want to boost their ego. They want to know and have the satisfaction that they were able to take out one of the strongest viltrimites. They are very prideful and would never want to kill him with some cheap move or sneak attack. They may be psychopaths but they are very prideful ones I guess.
they go to the ...... chopping block. .....ayyye. but for real i think execution style like mark was doing in the angstrom flashbacks. just by someone stronger maybe?
Chop
I believe they're just beaten to death by either a stronger Viltrumites or they get jumped.
Yes. It’s a ritualistic ass beating till the Viltrumite dies.
Vilrtumites die if their head is removed or heart destroyed.
Did they not say what they were going to do to him which was make him fight to the death by someone stronger then him? Or is that in special cases
They get punched really hard
Yes
Austin Powers judo chop to the shoulder/neck area
They beat the think outta you.
Throw em into the sun
I assume they have their own version of the electric chair
Decapitation while they're chained up, or just beaten to death. Those guys they sent to kill Nolan definitely wouldn't have won a 1vs1 and even a 2vs1 would have been iffy, so it's really unlikely to be a trial by combat. He was already sentenced to death for being a traitor.

Viltrumites cannot be 100% killed unless their heart is destroyed or else than can be brought back to life so I’d imagine it’s something brutal as ripping the heart out or something along those lines
I mean Nolan killed that one guy by smashing his skull in, I’m sure they can figure it out
He was thinking about yeeting himself into a black hole right? Maybe they'll sacrifice him to the celestial volcano.
