Had I been in Noodle’s place, I would have handled Think-Tank’s mistakes just like Noodle did.

Noodle handles the situation without being rude and doesn’t show off his intelligence. Had he behaved the other way around, it would have made the situation tense since Think-Tank was the commander-in-chief and Noodle was just an apprentice. The Martians were supposed to follow Think-Tank’s orders and not order him.

Think-Tank followed all the advices because Noodle made them sound as suggestions and not orders or any offence.
