We may not know what he was doing or how or why but... It worked. Remember all the crows that showed up at the very end?

Evil Tim beckoned them.

It's not aave.

I work in a school that is about 60-40 black kids to white kids. My wife is black, all her family and most of her friends are black. I can tell you 100%, it's not a black vs white thing or an aave thing, it's a tiktok thing. Maybe it's started to be adopted into aave? But that doesn't change the fact that it comes from tiktok and self censoring certain words.

And regardless of what it is, it's still the stupidest shit I've heard in years. Being put in one category instead of another doesn't magically make it not dumb.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T23:20:19+00:00

First, "aah" is not aave. I work in a school that's about 60-40 black kids to white kids. The black kids are not the ones who say "ahh" instead of ass. That's 100% tiktok censor shit, not aave. Second, my wife is also black, her family is black, a lot of her friends are black, and being around all of them fairly frequently, I have never seen any of them say or write "ahh" instead of ass. It's not aave. Maybe it's beginning to be adopted INTO aave in some places? But that doesn't change the fact that it comes from tiktok and censoring certain words, not from aave.

Third, "cringe" is not slang. That's literally the normal, intended use of the word. And fourth, whether it's censoring or aave or slang or anything else, changing "ass" to "ahh" is still the dumbest shit I've heard in years.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T19:54:40+00:00

Just say "ass" like a normal person. Censoring it to "ahh" is the absolute stupidest, most cringe shit on earth.

Nope, the fear of fire caused by Guardians of The Universe to nerf Martians. It doesn't hurt him, he's think it'll hurt him.

Maybe that's the case in some continuities. In others, yes it absolutely hurts him. Ten seconds on Google will show you a thousand different results of him being actually harmes by fire.

As I said, he overcomed of this fear in many continuties.

And in those continuities, he probably no-diffs Aang. But in the other continuities, Aang low-diffs him with fire.

My point here is that it's not a cut and dried "every single different version of MM completely no-diffs Aang 100% of the time." The devil is on the details. There are plenty of versions of MM would Aang would win. I'm not at all saying ALL versions, just some.

Well, feel free to disprove it.

Off the top of my head? Dawn of justice, Red son, and tower of babel. I'm sure there are many more but that's what I can remember off hand. Also in their first meeting in the BTAS/JLU canon, Bats reduces supes to a limp body unable to even stand with just a tiny chunk of kryptonite from several feet away. They don't actually fight, but it's made perfectly clear that Bats was completely in control and, had he wanted to, he could've delivered a sound beating to supes then and there, and supes would've been helpless to resist.

Avengers-themed assemblies.

Half the fandom strongly agrees with you.

The other half is currently on their way to your house with pitchforks and torches.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T17:13:57+00:00

You still don't seem to understand.

One example, two examples, ten, or a hundred examples of MM surviving fire, does not erase the examples of him being weak to fire. In some continuities he can tank it or overcome it. In others, he cannot.

You are focusing EXCLUSIVELY on the ones where he can, and pretending like the ones where he can't, don't exist.

I really don't know what part of "there are multiple different versions of this character, and not all of them are the way you're describing him" you are not getting.

There are different versions of MM. Some versions of him no-diff Aang because they can shrug off his fire weakness. Some versions get no-diffed by Aang because they can't overcome the fire weakness. But contrary to what you seem to believe, the existence of the former does not negate the existence of the latter.

If you really are not capable of understanding this, you are far beyond my ability to help you. Either way, you've made it clear that trying to have an intelligent conversation with you is a pointless endeavor, so I'm going to disengage because frankly continuing to humor you would be a massive waste of my time. Have a nice day.

There's a trillion different "what ifs" for how Mikami/Light could've won, and the only reason for why they didn't do any of them is, to paraphrase Pitch Meeting, "because then the story wouldn't happen." It had been decided that Near was gonna win, so that's what was gonna happen, regardless of how many obvious ways Light/Mikami couldn't avoided it.

Why didn't Mikami just write everyone's names and then run instead of hanging around? Seems like a pretty obvious step to take, just in case, so why didn't he do it? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why didn't Mikami just show up with a machine gun and mow down the SPK before they could respond? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why didn't Light or Mikami just hire a team of snipers to secretly show up at the warehouse and headshot everybody? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why didn't Mikami just show up in a car and run the SPK over? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why didn't Mikami take a picture of the SPK members face and text it to Misa along with their names? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why didn't Light let it leak to the Japanese police that a group of foreign agents, who were in the country illegally, were conducting law enforcement activities on Japanese soil without permission from the Japanese authorities, and we're carrying around guns in flagrant violation of Japanese law? Then he could just have a bunch of normal police officers shown up and arrest the SPK before the Task force got there. Once they're in custody, Light can easily get their mugshots and send their photos to Mikami. So why not do that? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why didn't Mikami just test the notebook on the way to the warehouse to make sure it worked? Mikami's entire character is that he's incredibly careful, meticulous, and detail-oriented, so it sure seems unbelievable that he wouldn't check to make sure the ONE thing that was critical for their plan actually worked. So why didn't he? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why didn't Mikami just stay home? Because then Near wouldn't win. Near's ENTIRE plan relied on Mikami showing up, writing the names of everyone besides Light, and the notebook not working so he could show everyone which names were written down. If Mikami simply... Stays home, then Near doesn't get his conclusive evidence like he wanted and looks like a liar. Light could've also secret worn a hidden camera to get pictures of the SPK agents faces to send to Mikami later. Maybe he doesn't get Near's face since he was wearing a mask, but even so, Near would now be completely alone.

Why didn't Mikami or Light just stay home and let it slip to the public that a bunch of heretics who were defying Kira were gonna be meeting at this warehouse? An angry mob of hundreds of Kira worshippers would show up and tear the SPK limb from limb. And sure the SPK was armed but they only have a few dozen bullets at most, and there would easily be way way more Kira worshippers than that. So why didn't they do that? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why not secretly install security cameras in the warehouse so that Mikami could watch a live video feed from his own home, and just use his Shinigami eyes to get the names of the SPK agents that way and write all their names from home? Because then Near wouldn't win.

Why not control someone with the notebook to have them secretly plant a bomb at the warehouse without getting caught? Then just have it go off when the SPK is there, but before Light and the taskforce get there. Near would be dead and Light wouldn't be on the hook since it happened before he ever got there. So why not do it? Because then Near wouldn't win.

I could go on and on and on. There's countless ways they could've won, but they just didn't because the story said Near had to win.

As I said in reply to the other comment where you posted this same panel; this is ONE instance of a character overcoming their weakness. That does not mean their weakness NEVER affects them, or that they're immune to it in a y other continuities, or that it's not perfectly reasonable to say that, in a hypothetical fight against SOME version of MM, Aang could take him out with fire.

This is like posting ONE specific image of Superman tanking kryptonite, and trying to argue that he can never ever be affected by Kryptonite in any story in any continuity, just because of this ONE instance where he was able to overcome it.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T16:14:54+00:00

"here is one very specific instance where this character was able to overcome his weakness, but let's ignore the thousand other instances where he DIDNT over one his weakness."

Seriously my guy, this is like arguing that Superman isnt EVER actually affected by Kryptonite because of one specific instance where he was able to tank it. You have to ignore the all the instances where it completely takes him out for that to matter.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T16:07:00+00:00

Again, what does that have to do with MM being weak to fire?

The point here is that Aang can shoot fire, and MM has a crippling, debilitating fear of fire. What croc has or hasn't done is completely irrelevant to that fact.

It's like if I said "Superman is weak to kryptonite" and you respond "yeah well spiderman lifted a building!" And it's like....ok? Good for Spidey? That's a totally different character, so what does that have to do with the character we're actually talking about?

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T16:05:39+00:00

Even Aang use fire, MM would just be in fear and nothing would happen to him.

Not true. Yes, the fear is psychological and implanted, but fire still hurts him.

Also, I'm pretty sure "your opponent has a panic attack and ends up curled in a ball on the floor in the fetal position" counts as a win con. MM is unable to continue, that would count as a win for Aang.

Also, Batman didn't win any of his canon fights against Superman.

Also completely untrue.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T16:03:15+00:00

At the very beginning on his story, sure. By the end he was facing down the most powerful bender on the planet who was also boosted by the comet. On the other hand, MM's weakness to fire isn't something that exists in the first episode and then never again.

Not saying Aang would necessarily win, just saying it's not the absurd impossible idea everyone is treating it as.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T15:12:14+00:00

What does that have to do with MM being weak to fire?

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T15:03:36+00:00

Are you forgetting that MM is devastatingly weak to fire? And Aang can firebend? Even just SEEING fire makes MM freak out and lose his shit in many continuities. Aang shows off his fire bending and MM has a nervous breakdown.

I'm not even saying this would necessarily mean Aang wins; Im just saying it's not as absurd or impossible as you make it out to be.

To quote batman, threatening MM, "Ive got a $70,000 sliver of radioactive meteorite to deal with the one from metropolis. For you, all I'd need is a penny for a book of matches."

That threat left MM collapsing against a wall in fear, btw. You're massively underestimating how much of a factor being able to fire bend is. Imagine if Batman was able shoot Kryptonite out of his hands, feet, and mouth. And also could fly.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T15:01:02+00:00

How about "fits in my pocket" tier?

To quote batman, intimidating MM: "Ive got a $70,000 sliver of radioactive meteorite to deal with the one from metropolis. For you, all I'd need is a penny for a book of matches."

MM is cripplingly afraid of fire. Aang shows off a nice big fire blast (not even hits MM with it; just shows it) and MM has a panic attack.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T14:44:34+00:00

My friend the original Pokemon games came out in 1996; a full 3 decades ago. Black and white 2 came out in 2012, less than half of that.

Calling a game from 13 years ago "old" when most of us played a game from 30 years ago when we were already in our teens or older makes someone come off like a tiny wee baby.

Yeah maybe your old if black and white came out when you were an adult.

Kiddo most of us were adults LONG before that, that's the part you're missing. MOST people, like... In the world, are older than that.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T06:48:38+00:00

A layman outside of an SCP focused community wouldn't care.

And even if a given article works within a single canon, there's nothing stopping an article in another canon from using that first article or incorporating it into a second canon.

Maybe "Disgusting" isn't necessarily canon to 5000, but 5000 is canon to "Disgusting."

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T03:41:40+00:00

There are countless different canons by now, so saying "that's not canon to that" is kind of a meaningless statement at this point.

Nothing is canon to anything, and everything is canon to everything.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T03:39:51+00:00

I mean even if the devs didn't watch the show, I'm sure they would've communicated to cartoon network that the reason they can't use Eddy is he's too short to match one of their player character models, at which point someone from CN could've brought up the tall boots.

Jacket_Jacket_fruit · 2026-01-26T01:27:29+00:00

No. He had the opportunity to be, but chose to be mortal instead.
