Wait, what? I don't remember that being implied at all. That would be incredibly dark for such a light-hearted comedy.
The Thermians were fighting Sarris long before they brought in Tim Allen's character.
Yes. And then Tim Allen fucked it up for them and attacked Sarris. That ship was the last line of defense. Also not sure how that's the limit for incredibly dark when you have the entire "We were lying" scene and the "By Grabthars Hammer" death scene. Also the children aliens who are beating another child to death.
A soon-forgiven liar revealed scene or the suitably mourned and quickly avenged death of a sympathetic character by a villain are not even remotely on the level of the protagonist we're rooting for causing genocide without remorse or consequences.
Why would the "lying" scene even remotely matter when Tim Allen's character killed their entire civilization? That's a much bigger deal than lying about being a space captain! Why would they put him in charge again without even explaining his error?
