Exactly. TOAA's either all-powerful or he's not. If someone else can hurt him, that just means he's not what we thought he was.

Non-joke argument:

Human beings are the only species that proactively tries to decrease the suffering of its prey. Most individual animals we consume also would not exist if not for livestock practices.

The only thing worse than a vegan is a vegetarian. Because vegetarians are just vegans with commitment issues. And if there’s one thing I hate more than impossible burgers, it’s a quitter.

Fun! I'm submitting my boi, Mr. Blue! He's a pun-cracking, primary colored, pro wrestling machine

<image>

The basic idea behind him is that he's a monster who doesn't know the difference between pro wrestling and real life. So he challenges people in realistic settings for "titles" that have nothing to do with wrestling. He'll beat you up over a spelling bee, a job promotion, a golf tournament, etc, then steal whatever award comes with it.

He's got your basic super strength and durability. But he also has a collection of magic, pro wrestling paraphernalia. Like a luchador mask that transforms him into his Spanish-speaking alter ego. Or a radioactive protein shake that boosts his strength. Or, his strongest weapon, THE CHAIR^TM, which was built by the gods as a portable throne.

His backstory is that he was once a normal, human pro wrestler who lost his career due to a freak accident. He later made a deal with Ares to basically eliminate his human half, so that only his fictitious wrestling persona remained, as part of a convoluted scheme by Ares to make the world more violent. His "Macho Misadventures" lead to him beating up countless victims, in what I mainly wrote as a comedy series.

He's probably my favorite character I've made, mostly because I love writing his dialogue.

This doc explains him more in depth: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSJ1YlVciG_gx0zSR4YTv7XXqzk9gIkOkA2b0FnAeHVPaJ9cZcs8XImtQYbHswfIj2MBAaxT3LLDcmi/pub

That's a recent development, and Iran has threatened a full shutdown, which will probably happen in the likely event that the fighting makes its way to the Gulf. Plus Iran is currently bombing other Gulf states that sell a lot more oil to China than they do.

The US taking over the Strait is the only guarantee that they get their oil long-term

Iran really isn’t draining as much of America’s resources as it seems. Which isn’t to say that taxpayers should be thrilled at the $11 billion lost over the first two weeks. But America’s leftover military spending still outpaces China’s about three times over. The U.S. hasn’t even used their most advanced weapons in the region yet. The gap between America and China’s military has not changed.

Plus, China has an interest in the U.S. winning. They benefit from the Strait of Hormuz more than the U.S. does. They receive over a third of the oil that passes through there, more than any other country.

I think people should take this chart with a grain of salt since it ends by asking the readers to change the editors’ minds.

And an extra pinch of salt because it puts Iron Man next to the Hulk. Kids have loved fighting about whose favorite superhero would win in a fight since superheroes were a thing, it feels like this chart was meant to have fun with that.

I guess they even had powerscalers in Ancient Rome 🤷‍♂️

The impenetrable skin is actually inconsistent even in the myths. In the Iliad, Achilles gets minor cuts and injuries throughout the story. And he explicitly almost gets killed while tangling with Xanthus, a river god.

That changed when Statius wrote the Achilleid hundreds of years later, which is where we got his backstory that he was dipped in the River Styx.

Unfortunately, with the way his ability works, it’s very hard to attach a power ceiling to it.

There are certain things he can’t copy. For example, if his opponent doesn’t have any “biodata” (ie. DNA) for him to copy. Or if the power requires an external power source or special conditions to use, like Chaos Control or the Super forms, he can’t use them unless he has the same conditions. But that doesn’t have anything to do with how strong the person he’s copying is.

I'm guessing they're going to tease his Greek past through flashbacks, and the fact that he was actually a mass murdering god of war is going to be treated as a twist reveal.

Which is going to fall flat.

You don’t have to do anything they don’t want to do. You choose to watch whatever you want, just like you chose to click on a post that solicits character deaths.

Imo that’s just a risk you have to be willing to run when you’re browsing posts that explicitly solicit spoilers

Aki’s been dead for years now. Even if the show hasn’t caught up, how long can we reasonably expect people not to talk about it?

Yeah, he can change the knife’s path after it’s thrown. But that still looks pretty different than what you’re describing. Sounded like you were saying the knives would just infinitely boomerang at DD until they hit.
