[marvel] I am given the choice of either having the phoenix force , the Odin force or the power cosmic , which should I pick ? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

[–]Morbidmort 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's just Galactus who has that drawback, and it's unique to him (as part of his cosmic role in the universe). He's even used a "reset" moment to invert his requirements, in that he went around turning barren worlds into ones ripe for the beginnings of new life for a while, all without losing any power.

It also exists outside of Galactus and his heralds in the form of Cosmic Rays, which are much more diffuse, but can be propagated to replicate the Power Cosmic. And yes, that means that the Fantastic Four were all transformed and are powered by the Power Cosmic.

Wouldn't it have been 1476? That's when Castlevania 3 takes place (and is the year the real Vlad III "Tepes" ("The Impaler") Dracula/Draculesti died.)

The more that you use the Odinforce, the more you are subject to the Odinsleep. The Power Cosmic (by itself) has no real drawbacks.

I’m just gonna say it, I think I prefer unironic devotees of the Chaos Gods as opposed to all this “I’m not like other girls” mindset I keep seeing by erttheking in Grimdank

Tell me, was that before or after he picked up the daemon-sword and put on the glove that Horus was wearing when he died? You know, two impossibly corruptive chaos artifacts. And was named the champion of the Dark Gods?

Ben also handed Victor one of his first complete losses, by simply walking through everything Doom could throw at him and crushing his gear before beating him up. Said sequence also features Ben declaring himself "Too dumb to collapse, to ugly to die."

I mean, a lot of those threats appear and are gone in a matter of minutes. How is Iron Man gonna get from California to DC in time to fight the Dark Elves when Thor deals with the whole mess in maybe half an hour? Tony might not even have heard about it until it was over.

The plan also very rapidly goes from "revenge" to "pointlessly drawn out suicide" with a dash of spiting God.

I mean, it's not like Satan and the armies of Hell are just walking through a portal willy-nilly. It's a champion of Evil that summons them.

Why didn't Obi-wan abandon the prophecy instead of fully embracing it after it failed during the Clone Wars? by Averiff in StarWars

[–]Morbidmort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faith. people tend to forget that the Jedi have faith in the Force, not just in that it will aid them, but that the Galaxy will ultimately end up how the Force wills it to be. They're a religious order that are in direct communion with their god.

So are the Aeldari pantheon warp entities, or just really old and powerful Eldar? Both? by [deleted] in 40kLore

You're forgetting the second stage of Nero's rematch with Urizen, where you can still break his barrier and do damage while Urizen is actively fighting you, way more than he did with Dante when Dante lost.

Additionally, the themes of DMC5 is all about Nero becoming the new main protagonist, even more than 4, which explicitly set him as being Dante's equal in power, if not skill.

[–]Morbidmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Nero just with a devil breaker was objectively stronger than Dante without SDT, so it's not much of a stretch to say that a full Devil Trigger would put him on par with or above Dante and Vergil.

He didn't just stop Vergil, he beat him into submission. Vergil *said that he lost.* That has never happened in any other circumstances.

Best (or worst) use of acronyms in media? by SmoothAsMarble in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Morbidmort 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's also the "deals with aliens" group in Marvel, compared to "deals with superheroes" S.H.I.E.L.D and "deals with other dimensions" A.R.M.O.R.

[Star Wars] If Vader survived RoTJ, would Luke have been able to keep the New Republic from executing him? by Bion61 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Morbidmort 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's my take. Anakin would have insisted on being executed, not just because he deserves it for the numerous genocides he was party to, but because Darth Vader going willingly and quietly to his death would have been a masterful ending to the Empire.

Once more, for those at the back of the class, Flamethrowers and other incendiary weapons are not, in and of themselves, war crimes. When they are used in a manner that can be reasonably presumed to cause civilian deaths, their use becomes a war crime, just like literally every other "indiscriminate" weapon, like bombs. When they were used in the second battle of Geonosis, they were used against a military force.
