Before anyone tries to argue, logically i do understand that there are other powerful people there too and that it’s natural for him to struggle against them, i wont disagree that it makes sense for him to be like that. I’m just speaking of how my first impression of him/the 1st chapter was compared to how different it actually is
Because he strategize first, before he proceed according to plan, imagine solely relying on your strength then he wouldn't even realize that thaddeus was his desciple and will kill him on the spot just to see Raphael's secret.
Yes i get that he didn’t defeat thaddeus on purpose because he’s just one of the many puppets of the og mastermind rapael so he had to figure out things prior, i’m speaking on general
This is a general comment- in my very personal opinion, pietro isn’t just as powerful as i thought him to be before i started reading this. Of course he’s still amazing and has incredible otherworldly strengh but if he got his original strength in this young healthy body then i feel like he shouldn’t struggle against some of these young folks at all. Sure i guess he doesnt have to be able to defeat people in a second but i feel like sometimes it takes him too long to win and he even gets injured at times. Considering how every breathing creature wants him dead due to his strengh, i would’ve thought no one would even be a match for him, not even worth fighting
