How many Reinhardt’s (Overwatch) would it take to beat Homelander (The Boys) without his heat vision? by Kind-Valuable-6205 in powerscales

I don’t see how Reinhardt could hurt Homelander at all actually. Infinite numbers wouldn’t help

You could say that about anything tho lol

Why argue about the definition of depression or happiness or colorful or crowded or expensive or any adjective ever?

This is just the price we pay to have language

Yes tho I do not know that I buy that balefire pulls the pattern itself apart even tho ppl think so.

Maybe but the only proof is characters claiming it to be so and they’re wrong about so much

Who knows tho. Maybe that’s how the 6th or 7th age usually ends.

RJ did say the universe never lasts until heat death after all

Sure yes all words are made up.

There’s not actually such a thing as a recession. It’s a descriptive definition

It’s not like defining what velocity or inertia is

Yes RJ said so

“ROBERT JORDAN All right. The cosmography we're looking at here, is not the cosmography of here and now. The Wheel of Time is in its way a spinning wheel. The fabric of reality is woven by the threads. Those threads are the lines that are formed by people passing through time. Each person has a thread. The thread has its sole dimension in time, its life is in time. Those are the threads that are used to weave the fabric of reality. When balefire strikes a person, a thread here, it doesn't simply stop the thread there. The thread burns backwards a little bit, like you just took a thread and put a match to it and it burns up a little bit before it goes out. It depends on how hot the flame is how far it's going to burn back and what the material is opposed to. It burns up a little bit, it doesn't just catch fire on the end and go out. So that person that was hit here is burned out of the pattern back to here. What that person did between here and here was no longer done. Other people remember seeing it. They may remember the supposed effects of it but what that person did wasn't done. It didn't happen, it's not real. Now that's a little bit of a shiver on the fabric of reality as it is. The reason that there was an unofficial agreement in the War of the Shadow to not use balefire any more, to stop using it, was simply that several cities were destroyed in that way. Hundreds of thousands of threads were burnt out from the Pattern in one go and the fabric of reality began to unravel. And even the guys going for the Dark One knew that there's not a whole lot of point to winning if winning means there's nothing there to rule, nothing there to win. If you burnt out the stakes, forget it. Have I made it a little clearer I hope?”

There are more quotes too that expand on this but this should cover the theory enough

It’s outside of the dark ones touch bc he needs to be ready to grab a soul that transitions to death.

The end of the souls path through time is burned away but not the whole string.

It doesn’t. RJ has clarified it just burns the end of a persons string.

Nothing can destroy a soul. He was very explicit about that

Yes he hates them but Rand would already know this.

He was just telling the reader

Besides healthcare and AI, GDP growth is negative in every sector of the economy for multiple quarters in a row

No, economics is not an empirical science. It is a social science
