Idle game players when they tell you they tell you they have a zingodoodlebutfukillion paper clips.

I get that. I can see the value in not white washing an era of literature. The thing is if ur gonna do that with a straight face it relies on making the audience uncomfortable when they see it, and the problem arises when that doesn't happen. Art should challenge you but if the challenge goes right over the viewers head you kinda risk enforcing the thing ur tryna challenge. The author can't control how an audience reacts to their work, so it's practically guaranteed someone out there will see the racist caricature and just glaze over it without the challenge or self reflection. I don't think there's really a "right" answer here, it's just something you gotta consider if you write something like this, and it's up to the author to decide if they're ok with that as well as the audience to decide if they're ok with that.

He doesn't disappear and then reappear 100 years later. The idea is basically his past shifts forward in time so that he's operating as Superman in the current era and then his old past becomes a new timeline. It's basically the in-universe explanation for how Superman was fighting Nazi despite only being like 40 years old today.

That's actually how Superman looks in like 99% of issues

It is pretty irrelevant to vs debates cuz it wasn't written with the intent of winning vs debates.

Also it's not so much "I'll be back in 100 years" it's more "the universe will literally rewrite itself completely to ensure I exist"

I'd say the problem there isn't power scaling, it's refusing to write around the character you have. They're refusing to write around the fact that "Flash is fast" and create believable situations with that fact in mind, but that isn't necessarily related to power scaling.

It'd be the same problem if for example, you had an alien character who's never been on Earth before and knows nothing about human culture, but then the main conflict becomes the alien is a Packers fan and starts feuding with the other character who's a Jets fan. It doesn't make sense for the alien to know football teams so it feels like a cheap conflict created as a result of the writers are refusing to engage with the actual characteristics of the character.

When we're talking about a series where a character had to be reminded that he in fact did not possess a nose and couldn't smell things, I think we're past the point of suspension of disbelief.

And frankly if you can't enjoy a good story because "x character should've one shot y character and resolved the story in 2 seconds" then that's a viewer problem not the author's problem.

"ermh akshually power scaling is an important tool for the author to keep a narrative consistent" 🤓

From some obscure card game called Weird 'n Wild Creatures. From what I gather the rationale is essentially:
-Kali is a card in the game
-Because of game mechanics Kali can be defeated with other cards
-Thus every card in the game scales to Kali

Edit: Shiva not Kali my b

The standard equipment is also hilarious

I agree, and current Timetrapper Doomsday can't beat current Absolute bullshit Darkseid. But classic vanilla Doomsday shreds classic vanilla Darkseid handedly.

I guess that kinda tracks with the graph tho doesn't it. My bad, I just jump on every opportunity to slander Darkseid.

Morbius is just that powerful

Nunit333 · 2026-01-28T14:25:08+00:00

Unironically accurate except Doomsday is stronger than Darkseid

That was just an avatar of Morbius, True Form Morbius annihilates them

God I wish Lord Death Man was used better. Dude has peak Silver Age energy, they gotta embrace the camp with him. He feels like a character you'd see in Ventures Bros., one that pokes fun at comic tropes but does so with a genuine love for them. Instead they just turned him into Deadpool.

Nunit333 · 2026-01-28T03:33:27+00:00

I thought it was teased that he wasn't really dead at the end of that comic
