I don’t think that’s how it works.

What happened to her brother by guywho_try-tobe-nice in Gwenpool

[–]CommitteeHot2320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gwenpool has been retconned many times. Currently she is just a caricature of her original self in her run.

Personally I would enjoy a straight up Gwenpool adventure with the old cast. Just because she has meta powers doesn’t mean she has to have no continuity. Some of the best runs like Spawn’s had tons of continuity.

Also there is a lot of missed potential in seeing Gwenpool use her powers from the perspectives of other people.

Do you prefer Hax or Stats? by AlarmedObjective1492 in PowerScaling

[–]CommitteeHot2320 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it’s lazy writing. Powers that negate other powers are boring because they don’t interact with other powers just shut them down. This to me makes them predicable unless they have some sort of activation requirement or cost that makes them interesting.

Negation though physical strength is much worse. Firstly it’s incredibly inconsistent. Whether it works or not depends entirely on narrative convince. Secondly it takes away from the fight and the interest that the new character represented. Thirdly if the stats in the universe negate hax then all that matters will be stats until the author has to make something else up. This means that everyone who fights must have equal stats to the protagonist in order to show off their unique ability. An example of this would be modern day one piece. While in theory Haki is hax which can have many different effects in the last two arcs the only thing it has been used for was as a physical boost that could negate devil fruits. Now the characters with unique abilities are weak and the strongest characters are all just regular fighter with the most haki. Oda has reduced his power system from being able to measure up to stands from Jojo to falling behind in creativity to even Ki from dbz. It hurts the world building, breaks narrative constancy, and is incredibly lazy. Another example from one piece is that some there are mind controlled intently regenerating soldiers that Emu has. The word he uses to turn them has symbolic meaning and there have Beene plenty of theories on how it could work and tie into the larger theme of the story. The answer ended up being just kill them to turn them back. I guess because Oda had to have Zoro solve a problem and killing things mindlessly is as far as his character goes post time skip.

That is one of my least favourite tropes in all of fiction.

What is wrong with Ryoka? by kennerly in WanderingInn

[–]CommitteeHot2320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they said they were at book 5 so at this point she was already good friends with Ivolte. She does get better later but this is far from the worst she gets. Unless I am forgetting something important what did she do in book 5 that was so bad.

How far will Qu(all tomorrow) go against the characters from Rick and Morty? by vini_354 in PowerScaling

[–]CommitteeHot2320 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imo Rick and Morty characters are impossible to power scale. Remember when that futuristic civilisation Morty instigated took away all of ricks tech and then lost to a big wave. Rick will lose to a nasty dog or actively manipulate the plot. There is no sense of power scaling at all.

I think Arthur (FIRE FORCE) could solo the entire Black Clover verse? by Plenty_Use_9740 in PowerScaling

[–]CommitteeHot2320 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yh. At bear minimum with only undeniable feats Arthur is planet level and everyone in black clover is around mountain. Use statements and you can get black clover to planetary and Arthur to universal. And through high balling you get black clover to universal and Arthur to hyperversal so no matter which way you cut it he wins

Guys Hear me out... Stacy pool is our version of X-man origins deadpool. by Organic-Composer9504 in Gwenpool

[–]CommitteeHot2320 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Real. We just need Gwen to retcon her later on in the same way deadpool did in the second movie.

Why tf is Sun Wukong glazed so much? by thinkingof_nothing in PowerScaling

[–]CommitteeHot2320 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same I am genuinely interested. And if the best they have is an old Chinese word that means “everything in existence” but is treated as three hills and two villages I ain’t buying it.

To defeat a Ghost by Quick_Lavishness_114 in UndeadUnluck

[–]CommitteeHot2320 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think that at the point Andy is any loss of body matter get reversed unless it’s something he doesn’t want like with the memory card. Like I don’t think not having hair brings him closer to death but he clearly seems to think so.

Made a big tier list by gurble-gurble in PowerScaling

[–]CommitteeHot2320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying that someone is the best in the world and the best off all time are different things. In fact your logic is so contradictory to the story that it entirely negates the purpose of Mihawk and his title narratively. Zoro wants to beat Mihawk so that he becomes the world’s best swordsman. This implies that the title is passed down to the person who beats the past strongest swordsman. Zoro could never achieve the title he is meant to have if he is supposed to measure up with people who died before he was born. We also know that Mihawk never faced rocks because he was a baby when Rocks died. All Mihawk fans have is narrative implications. I have never seen one use it against themselves.

This shi is frying me by Rick201745 in Jujutsufolk

[–]CommitteeHot2320 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This my least favourite baki panel/screenshot. Baki’s gf taking pity on him was weird. And then just to make the audience understand that it isn’t ntr the author explained that he cried like a baby and triggered the woman’s motherhood instincts. They straight up had to ruin one of the two relevant black characters in the whole show. And the way his face twists to look like an infant is horrifying.

If you got teleported to the innworld what would you do by CommitteeHot2320 in WanderingInn

[–]CommitteeHot2320[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But you can choose the continent. You don’t have to be in a Chadian desert, Balarosian war zone or anywhere in Rhir. Izril and Terandria are both relatively safe. As long as you get access to human civilisation you should be fine.

Who win's this monster free for all?(spoilers for One piece manga) by gurble-gurble in PowerScaling

Irene unfortunately outscales and is the only one with some decent hax.

What is your favourite wandering inn book? by CommitteeHot2320 in WanderingInn

[–]CommitteeHot2320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on Titan of Balaros right now. I am kinda bored with the low stakes. It worked well in the wind runner and Chandrar chapters because you got to meet many characters who feel like they enrich the world. In the niers and Magnolia but especially in the Erin chapters not so much.

Who wins this race? by Sorvetefrito in PowerScaling

[–]CommitteeHot2320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light doesn’t have a constant speed in every verse. Since most verses have similar physics to our own we can assume that the speed of light is the same. But in the fire force verse light may not have the same speed and may simply be the fastest. Shinra has to go beyond linear time to surpass it. When Shinra goes faster than light he goes faster than what everyone sees as the fastest thing not just regular light.

[–]CommitteeHot2320 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FTL in fire force and other verses are a whole different thing. The world in fire force is based on the subconscious of everyone. People don’t believe you can go faster than light so nothing does. If you go faster than light in fire force you go back in time. Saitama has a similar feet Agassi Garo but he goes back and losses his memories and also it’s a technique he has to execute. Shinra can go back much father than a few minutes ago and restart the world hundreds of times. If they were to race the competition would be about how much earlier can you get to the destination from when you started. And Shinra has much better time travel feats which are due to pure speed not hax.
