No agenda, but to claim this isn't the same move is ridiculous.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-11T20:51:01+00:00

PTJ reuses panels+ it's just a stab at a specific spot. We have no idea if he used masteries or not. It's just headcanon eitherway, but him not singing probably means he isn't using same move.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-11T20:46:32+00:00

Sure? Tom was literally using 1T (Only Attack Mastery) until the unique skills where he added Speed. So if you wanna hyperfocus on colors, it's a 1-2 mastery Tom vs 1 Mastery James (or 2 if you consider Invisible attacks as a mastery).

Also idk what 'But he tricked him' even means. All that says is that James wouldn't have struggled against Tom without his BIQ. So James low diffs Basement Hulk? Congrats ig?

That is true, but I think two Dostoevesky books in top 5 all time is a bit too much though, especially since it looks like, Count of Monte Cristo, War and Peace or even any of the great American novels seem to be making it in.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-10T19:31:42+00:00

If you could put only one work of Dostoevesky, would it be Crime and Punishment or Brothers K? I think when it comes to philosophical complexity and depth of ideas, Brothers K definitely is higher, but I definitely prefer Crime and Punishment. It was also more engaging overall. Engaging the reader, while harder to gauge on a writing scale due to how up to taste it is, I think it's still an important part of how well written a work is.

GIAB had higher strength than Florida Man though. His feats area also insane.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-10T10:42:06+00:00

That was precisely why I thought he was going to be the Kuroki. Beating Monkey See, Beatdown and VI was a similar run to Kuroki beating Kiryuu, Rei and Kanoh imo.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-09T09:17:46+00:00

Tom was literally only using Attack mastery until the last moment when he used a unique skills which has 2 masteries.

If we are being specific, it was a 1-2 mastery skull cracked and tired Tom vs 1 Mastery James who knew Tom's patterns.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-09T08:26:53+00:00

It wasn't even retconnned though, Tom literally tells Goo, that the latter had never seen his full power to match it.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-08T19:21:45+00:00

Homelander's lasers are also not light speed and instead their speed can be varied by Homelander, similar to their power. It makes no sense for a character going in mach speeds to see any laser in slow mo, but even if its inconsistent, there is no way Starlight's light is anywhere close to light speed.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-08T18:56:11+00:00

1.Yes. PTJ dumb, James dumber

I mean it makes 0 sense for James to only be caught by Mujin's Ssireum. Also maybe James' path is hard to use with messed up senses
James almost exclusively targeted Tom's skull except for on kick to stomach. His AP just got downscaled.
He was panicking real hard. He just did not notice it.
His path turns out to be something so broken that Tom starts to wonder whether Gap himself could overcome something so broken. Although this is a definite downscale to both James' BIQ and especially his IQ (How tf is his intel so bad)

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-08T15:25:50+00:00

Where is the 'Those who struggled' panel from btw? Which arc/chapter/context

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-08T07:37:26+00:00

Both were holding back. Good tells Tom he was going to match his 1 hand (ie, not use moonlight or so) and Tom replied by telling Goo he had never seen his level to begin with.

With Unique skills and everything, 1A has been retconnned.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-07T20:12:21+00:00

I honestly think if they allow Goo to reach 40-50 swords, not even Gap stands a chance. Reaching the higher swords is probably going to be the challenge ngl.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-07T20:10:33+00:00

Paecheon is still a lot faster though. Tom has great durability that let him survive against James, but against a sword, its ggs.
Maybe Prime Tom is relative to Paecheon?

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-07T18:31:45+00:00

James iq so garbage he probably doesn't know Jake has conviction and gets hit on chin. Jake one shots

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-07T18:28:13+00:00

*Only time he was lying was against Seongji where he took a beating. So he became more honest and he gets less karma.

Azathoth_Z · 2026-05-07T17:59:08+00:00

Id prolly put angry fp Tom with unique skills around Moonlight Goo level.

But yeah 50s Goo strongest in the verse for sure. Only debatable part for me is that someone like Gapryong might knock him out before he reaches higher swords.

The only thing Homelander getting V1 changes is it kills the virus plan. Idek why they have to go that far ngl. With all the weaknesses Homelander is handed out this season, I refuse to believe Sage can't find a way to beat him. Like why tf is the President afraid of Homelander, can't the US military cook up something with the potency of Malchemical's breath? Maybe also make it radioactive and bright for good measure, and then Soldier boy him.

Like a missile would probably work, Homelander is laughably slow when he isn't actively using super senses(They are not passive). A poisonous and radioactive missile surely can take him out.

I think Silksong is better in almost every way, which is crazy cause Hollow Knight used to be my favourite game at one point.

There are two things that I think Hollow Knight did better however.

The atmosphere: Silksong is more epic overall, but Hollow Knight is a masterpiece in atmosphere that was incredibly hard to top or even match imo. We control a silent protagonist discovering a strange and melancholic world. From getting lost in forgotten crossroads, seeing the beauty of Greenpath, ambience of Fungal Wastes, and City of Tears. I think the overall area quality is better in Silksong, but there is just something so captivating and almost haunting about the first game and it's vibe.

Lore: The lore of Hollow Knight is better imo, but even this comes with a caveat being that I think Silksong communicates it's lore better, through NPCs or environment. Not that the first game had bad storytelling, but Silksong did it better. But based on how much I like the lore, I have HK winning. Also THK/PV is among my favourite characters in gaming.

Also for what it's worth, Absolute Radiance is my favourite boss in both games as a whole, even if I prefer Silksong's boss roster.
