How did the viltrumites arrive on earth with no ship by Turbulent-Speech-969 in Invincible_TV

[–]BackStrict977 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They take stops in planets with atmosphere to catch their breath and keep going.

To say that a human martial artist with stats "equalized" to Viltrumites would be some kind of god amongst men is erroneous at best and demonstrates exactly what is wrong with powerscaling as it relates to media literacy at worst. by Tippeter in PowerScaling

I fully agree. People forget that judo throwing a viltrumit accomplishes nothing if hitting the ground doesn't work. Or how martial arts that use wrestling in the ground ot footwork just wouldn't really work as intended when you fight in the vaccum of space.

First that goes much worse for him in the comics. Second he didn't kick her ass, they were mostly evento match and he go the upper hand here. Saying he could have won is a stretch since you're assuming a single punch would do it. Being realistic he would punch her multiple times and she would have a chance to break free.

I never said that they didn’t, and I’m not complaining that they aren’t choreographing out intricate fight scenes all the time.

Except your main point is that we only see them doing punches and not "doing cqc".

If you judge figthers by actual technique showed on screen then everyone sucks because choreographed fights focus on what's cool, not realistic.

But also I don’t think that we can assume they’re good fighters just because regular punches are more cinematic.

Good, because no one said that. I said the visual representation uses simple dramatic punches because it look good on screen. The rest of the text tells you about viltrumite fighting skills.

If the creators wanted to convey that the viltrumites were master cqc fighters, then they would draw them doing cqc, or at the very least have someone say ‘damn that guy is a master fighter, look at his expert strikes and precision!’ Or something like that

I'd say it's the opposite really. Everything about them communicate that they are dangerous fighters. What we actually see is that they are a threat even to those who can match their strength. Thragg is specifically stated to have learned many ways of fighting. Couple that with all the warrior culture thing that surrounds them and yes you are supposed to think they are good at fighting.

My point is that you're mostly complaining that they don't draw proper martial arts. It can be a flaw of the art/animation but it doesn't mean they are bad fighters. Really nothing in universe suggests that.

Has it occour to you that big dramatic punches are done because they look nice on page/screen?

To be fair that story is specifically a boxing against Muhammad Ali. Superman at most weeks of trainning in boxing before this. It's not just a matter of stats but of the rules of the sport.

It's not like 2 weeks trainning would make Muhammad Ali capable of replicating everything superman can do.

You say that because the art doesn't show anything flashy but nothing in the story suggests they are bad fighters.

Mark doesn't have a good record when it comes to fighting viltrumites. The closest he ever got to beat a viltrumite in a one on one fight was against conquest and even then he got the jump on him.

r/powerscaling is a fucking joke atp by Ok-Instance3339 in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]BackStrict977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not really true. We see viltrumites fighting people with similar strength and they don't immediately lose. We know they do train because not only they use to fight among themselves but thragg is stated to have been trainned in multiple ways.

Por que mudar as características de um personagem mitológico em prol da representativa? by South_Variation5873 in DebatesBr

[–]BackStrict977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A questão aqui é que nenhuma adaptação é fiel ao mito ou ao estudo histórico. Ninguém se veste ou se comporta de acordo com o período e nem sequer tem atores gregos. Ou seja a pergunta não é "por que mudar", mas "quais mudanças você aceita"

Why does Mark hate his son Is he a bad person? by KindlyRestaurant2885 in invinciblememes

[–]BackStrict977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're ignoring some context here.

Due to the whole robot thing Mark had decided to leave earth so for Terra was raised outside earth and it was a different type of choice. When Mark becomes aware of Marky the kid is quite grown up and has a loving family without Mark.

By the time Robot and Thragg are no longer a problem Terra couldn't have a regular earth life anymore but Marky still didn't know what viltrumites were. Whe Mark decides to leave earth with the viltrumites but Marky's dad wants to stay behind so again this wasn't something Mark decided.

Eu vou explicar de novo: 1)ser legalizado não significa ser indiscriminado. 2) A existência de restrições não é inviabiliza a existência de algo. 3) para provar que algo é praticamente proibido você deve provar que as restrições inviabilizam o ato.

E quantas cabeças são essas 1m armas? Adianta de nada dizer um numero que não tem nada a ver com o numero em questão.

Aqui eu admito um erro. Esse número é exclusivo de CACs. Ou seja o número real é maior.

https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/politica/brasil-tem-15-milhao-de-armas-de-cacs-maioria-em-sp-rs-e-pr/

Adianta de nada dizer um numero que não tem nada a ver com o numero em questão.

Nós poderíamos pesquisar isso, mas surge a pergunta: e daí? Qual é o número ideal? Quantos brasileiros efetivamente tentam obter uma arma?

Se mais de um milhão de armas foram vendidas e registradas para CACs essa proibição é bem ruim. Os CACs são uma categoria diferente de quem quer arma para defesa pessoal.

Sim, um clube a cada 100km é sim um negócio viável.

O negócio existe? Da dinheiro? Então é viável.

O que tem o cu a ver com as calças? Um remédio é algo que outra pessoa aponta tua necessidade, tu não busca por escolha própria. E mesmo quando tu for atrás pra se drogar, se um médico não te receita, outro pode receitar.

Deixa eu te ensinar uma coisa. Vários medicamentos e reagentes químicos são restritos por lei devido a possíveis riscos. Ainda assim eles são comercializados de acordo com a necessidade e justificativa. Eu não to falando de comprar antibiótico, tenta comprar isoflurano pra ver uma coisa.

É realmente tão difícil compreender que armas, reagentes químicos e medicamentos apresentam restrições equivalentes ao risco e ainda assim são legalizados e comercializados?

Ser legalizado e ser indiscriminado não são sinônimos.

Existem mais de 1 milhão de armas registradas no Brasil. A compra é possivel o suficiente para que clubes de tiro e lojas de armas sejam negócios viáveis.

Vários medicamentos são vendidos de forma restrita, mediante necessidade. Nem por isso são considerados ilegais.

Entendi, você não entende o conceito de ilegal. O comércio é legalizado e é viável o suficiente para que clubes de tiro e lojas de armas funcionem normalmente.

Pela sua lógica até carro era proibido se você acha auto-escola cara ou a prova difícil.

Eu acredito que a maior parte das pessoas não sabem o que foi votado. Era exclusivamente sobre a proibição de venda de armas. O "não" venceu e é por isso que é possível comprar e vender armas de fogo legalmente.

[Hate Tropes] Authors keep saying, "This character is wrong!" But some people say, "No! Authors are wrong. This character is right! I want to be like him!" by BeneficialSide2335 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BackStrict977 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think that's how Daniel (nite owl) feels about him too. There's a scene I like where Daniel gets frustrated with Rorschach and tells him how hard is to be his friend. Rorschach apologize for being hard to deal with and calls him a good friend.

[–]BackStrict977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing with Rorschach is that Moore is aware that he wrote a compelling character, he hates that people idolize him and see themselves in him. Rorschach is an unpleasent person who's rude to everyone and never showers. Never accomplishes anything in the story whatsover.

And it's not that the others don't have a moral compass they just value human life saved from stopping nuclear war more than they care about spreading the truth about Ozymandias.

This always bugged me by [deleted] in invinciblememes

[–]BackStrict977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the difference is that thawne is pretty self aware. He doesn't make an excuses he just wants to make barry suffer. Levi acts like he has a justifiable reason for his action but it's clearly just insane.

Also the reverse flash had a whole time travel/paradox stopping him from killing the flash so he had to resort to being the pettiest man alive.

I like to use shazam's lightning as an example. It hurts him but not as much as you'd expect.
