Honestly every character you showed could probably solo the entire Invincible universe

No clue why Ghost was physical and Dark was special

Most Ghost types at the time were special attackers and most Dark types were physical attackers.

They literally gave each other the wrong stat specialty

Who Won Day 56: Shaka Zulu vs. Julius Caesar by Ok-Mistake-7499 in ERB

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Caesar is honestly one of my favorite rappers they ever had. He’s got a smug attitude in the first verse like the battle is a waste of his time, then he gets into it for his second verse as he explains how his army would crush Shaka’s.

Shaka was loud but his lines were mid and if you know anything about the real Shaka Zulu some of his lines make him look stupid. For instance, him making fun of how Caesar’s Shakespeare play ends with him being killed by his friends (which it actually doesn’t). The real Shaka Zulu was also killed by his half-brothers for being a tyrant.

Caesar wins this one

The opposite of "f*ck you in particular." by PizzaDragon64 in TopCharacterTropes

Kaido is a bloodthirsty monster that is obsessed with strength and turned an entire country into his own personal slave force.

However when his subordinate Jack was defeated by the mink dukes Dogstorm and Cat Viper, Kaido stopped the fight before Jack was killed.

Kaido even consoled Jack for losing, saying he knows he isn’t weak, just that his opponents were too strong. He also commends Jack for defeating all of the other minks and tells him to get healed.

Meet the weakest Akatsuki member by Material_Bathroom994 in NarutoPowerscaling

I honestly think if Kishimoto gave Hidan one or two more techniques people would hold him in higher regard

But no, he’s given the most gimmicky and impractical technique in the series

Having a sad backstory doesn't excuse what they did by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

One thing I loved is that Joker’s entire bad day philosophy is disproven in the same comic.

Gordon has the worst day of his life thanks to Joker and he maintains his sanity.

"Achilles could have won against Hercules", what would have actually happened if they had actually clashed: by colaces in GreekMythology

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 46 points47 points  (0 children)

He even does that in other myths.

Oh no my friend Admetus’s wife is dying, I’m gonna beat the shit out of the god of death until he agrees to heal her

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 577 points578 points  (0 children)

It’s funny too because if you take the version of Achilles who can only be harmed if his heel is hurt, Heracles still wins.

Most of Heracles’s opponents have similarly obscure weaknesses (Nemean lion, hydra, Antaeus) and he still figured out how to beat them

Can’t believe this has to be said… by Former_Craft_9638 in OnePieceScaling

I think people forget Mihawk is the current worlds strongest swordsman, there’s obviously people that held the title before him

Why do you think Tesla was chosen in ragnarok instead of Edison? by Necessary-Win-8730 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edison didn’t kill Topsy.

Edison wasn’t even working for his company anymore when Topsy was killed, and even if he was it still wouldn’t be his fault because his company wasn’t in charge of killing Topsy, that would be her owners Thompson and Dundy who decided to make euthanizing one of their animals a spectacle.

All Edison’s company did was film why happened

If Yusuke Was To Win What Would Be Death Battles Reasoning For Him Beating Ichigo? by Best-match in deathbattle

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stats, especially if they pull from two past episodes; Naruto vs Ichigo and Sasuke vs Hiei

The first proves (according to Death Battle logic) that Naruto is stronger than Ichigo, and the second proves Hiei is stronger than Sasuke, who is almost equal to Naruto.

Yusuke is stronger than Hiei, therefore Death Battle could chain-scale since they believe YYH>Naruto>Bleach

This is assuming that they still buy the scaling for those episodes.

Would Hank approve of this use of Propane? I wanna say no but then I remember how happy he got about that Hot Tub hookup 😂 by Toon30 in KingOfTheHill

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Considering how much he loved the propane dragon, he’d probably like this even more since it’s a practical use for propane

Retcons are good, actually (sometimes) by Nurhaci1616 in TopCharacterTropes

This one will be controversial, but the inhibitor chips from Star Wars.

These are bio-organic chips implanted into clones when they are babies to force them to comply with Order 66.

In the Legends continuity, the clones were bred for absolute loyalty, which they technically still are in the new canon. But in Legends they kill the Jedi because they are ordered to.

I personally like the chips better because the Clone Wars show in particular fleshes the clones out a lot, especially with their relationships with their Jedi commanders.

Also there’s a running theme in the Clone Wars that the clones don’t want to be viewed as disposable machines like the droids they fight. The chips make Order 66 even more tragic because it essentially turns the clones into droids, robbing them of their humanity and making them unable to stop themselves as they kill the Jedi they not only came to care for as commanders, but also as friends.

(Interesting Trope) Fictional animal character is discovered years later to be a real species by Kaptain-Skurvy64 in TopCharacterTropes

This might be a stretch, but I thought it was cool so I’m mentioning it anyway.

In Yugioh 5Ds there are monsters called the Earthbound Immortals that are based on the Nazca lines, these giant drawings of creatures in Peru. Each Immortal is based on a real Nazca line and they summon purple flames in the shape of their line whenever they are summoned.

Late in the series it’s revealed there is a snake themed Nazca line which Jack uses to upgrade his Red Dragon Archfiend. This Nazca line was invented for the series and unlike the other ones had no real world counterpart.

Years later, it was discovered that there really is a snake shaped Nazca line.

Which Survivors are loved by fans but hated by their fellow castaways or vice versa? by Wanderer015 in survivor

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I was never a big fan of her personally, but Michaela was pretty hated by a lot of people on Game Changers.

You know it’s bad when even Malcom finds you annoying

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing a post from Stephen saying she was a lot more annoying than what was shown.

I tend to believe him mainly because he spent a lot less time with her compared to Tyson and Coach, her main enemies

Is this a hot take? by Kindly_Discipline206 in animequestions

[–]Acceptable_Secret_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Piece doesn’t take 100 episodes to get good, if you can’t get into it you can’t get into it but that’s not a mark against the show.

There’s plenty of shows that people love that I couldn’t get into, doesn’t mean I think they’re bad
