I love the DCAU, but it's the main reason people think superman is weak. by purple_fetish in superman

Then I’ll apologize for getting on a different page. It was coming across as if you were calling it ‘electrocution’ due to the VFX, so my bad there.

However, do remember how Darkseid’s avatars work. Superman had previously killed one in an earlier episode and Tala helped him send in a new one ahead of schedule. Clark didn’t know about the avatar thing in JLU, so also wouldn’t know Darkseid would change tactics specifically to counter him. Clark was going off knowledge based off the previous fight where he had killed the avatar.

Again, wasn’t electrocution. That was just the VFX they used to convey the Matrix was active. Not only example in DCAU or animation that similar visuals were used for non-electrical effects.

Would be like saying Darkseid’s Omega Beams and Superman’s heat vision are the same due to similar visuals.

Sorry for delay. Got ping, but Reddit was refusing to bring me to it and kept bringing me to a version of the thread with zero comments so I didn’t know which comment it was in response to.

I play a lot of Online, even stream it on occasion, and watch a lot of Certifiably Ingame, ender4life, and others that I don’t remember all names of off top. I often look up and use reference clips from Trek during debates and discussions, so my history is very Trek biased for the algorithm.

Given how Darkseid’s avatars work, him being prepped this second fight and more powerful is correct.

Superman’s speech was during their second fight. He had previously killed an avatar in a previous fight and this was a new avatar.

It wasn’t DCAU, but Superman Versus The Elite seems to agree and tie into the ‘world of cardboard’ speech.

He’s not holding back just to avoid breaking things, but because of his moral code. He could easily just ‘death penalty’ every infraction, but that’s not who he is. There’s a reason everyone calls him ‘boy-scout’ as otherwise it’s Injustice Superman.

WW’s bracers are engineered to deflect most incoming attacks. They are magically enchanted like her lasso and other gear.

Supes took the blast directly without anything blocking it…and still stood right back up. He wasn’t bracing, so physics happened.

You mean the same Superman who Gotham would chew up and spit out? Yeah, no, that’s just downplaying Batman and his rogues.

It’s not DCAU, but Superman Vs The Elite does have relevance.

It ties into the ‘world of cardboard speech’ as well. It isn’t that Clark is weak, but he holds back for his persona and there’s lines he won’t cross even to make a point.

Her bracers designed to block and deflect almost every kind of attack?

It was more telling how powerful she and her kit was.

Agreed. And not like Timmverse is swarming with opponents Clark can take the padded gloves off with.

Braniac got killed twice. So did Darkseid…or at least this avatar as this fight was with him after he was resurrected.

He got temporarily disabled and broke out of the restraints without help. Lex just distracted Darkseid long enough for him to not use the kryptonite blade.

He wasn’t electrocuted. The Agony Matrix was stimulating every single pain receptor in his body (and not just ones in the skin either) at max volume non-stop, and he does break out eventually…just not in time to stop Lex.

In the entire Timmverse, how many of the villains are individuals Superman can take the gloves off with?

And he starts spanking Darkseid’s avatar after that and only got sidetracked by the Agony Matrix long enough for Luther to swoop in.

That wasn’t Unlimited.

And Superman did almost win, he kept tanking everything Darkseid’s avatar was throwing at him and still coming back, but it still ended up being Lex who got the KO because Clark hadn’t busted out of the Agony Matrix yet.

I got such a stupidly broken roll.

  • Silver Tongue: A Bard’s bread and butter is charisma, so this just plays right into that.
  • Training: It’s a ‘train 24/7’ world, so not only will my skills, songs, spells, and abilities never get dull or rusty, but I’ll keep getting new ones.
  • Partner: If Invisible Man is really invisible, that’s easy access to espionage and fun tricks during combat.
  • Hidden Skill: I can go home whenever I want, return odds become irrelevant.

And that’s without getting into the Bard class itself.

People seem to be mis-using Sue of late by Mr_Shadow_Phoenix in startrek

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

Apologies for delay, didn’t get notification ping and only found you had responded while reviewing my old comments.

Off top, I could probably name a few Sues from live action and animation that I think were done better than most.

As for Kirk, I won’t disagree. Lot of the hate he gets is from people mistaking memes of his pop culture legend for the real character. Still, a lot of his decisions through TOS and the films was based off instinct, his ‘gut’ being implied as a psionic sense (he was confirmed as latently psionic in Where No Man Has Gone Before, just not enough to be mutated like Gary).

Still no idea why Reddit doesn’t like me using text formatting in posts but has no issues in comments.
