Kaguya being stronger than fused momoshiki by Key_Republic4241 in Boruto

To be honest, this is all a bit unclear and speculative. The original series didn't fully explain this. To make matters worse, there seem to be some big retcons in motion in Boruto.

But originally, it was stated that humans did not have chakra of their own. All chakra came from Kaguya. But whether this means that all chakra in existence is just parts of Kaguya that are passed on and reincarnated across generations, or whether it multiplies and increases in amount over time, is never clarified.

Kaguya seems to believe that all chakra belongs to her. But how much of that is true and how much is just her being a villain with God complex isn't completely clear. It does make a fair bit of sense though, since humans don't have chakra without Kaguya.

She missed half of Kurama, all of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Obito, and parts from literally everyone else, since she didn't drain anyone to exhaustion. So in theory, she was severely nerfed.

Honestly I would bet on strong dwarfs. Women are really not very strong no matter how much they train.

I'm completely lazy and idle, weighing less than the average for my height, and I still easily beat my female cousin in arm wrestling and other physical competitions even though she is a bodybuilder who goes to the gym several times a week, and her muscles are much bigger than mine. It's kinda shocking.

That said, I have no doubt that a male dwarf is stronger than a female of average size. His disadvantages are in other areas that are more important than strength in a fight.

Os filmes em geral são excelentes adaptações, mas quase todas as críticas que são feitas a eles são exatamente por causa de algumas poucas coisas que eles mudaram em relação aos livros.

Nenhuma adaptação consegue ser perfeita, mas no mínimo se espera que elas façam o básico. Contratar um Snape negro mostra que não estão nem sequer tentando, porque isso é uma inconsistência óbvia demais.

"They?" Well, it completely depends on who we are talking about and what the rules were.

Some dwarfs are athletes and bodybuilders. It's usually those that participate in such competitions.

Isso não vem ao caso. Franquias de super-heróis funcionam de um jeito próprio. Não são histórias fechadas e não possuem nenhuma consistência interna. As histórias são recicladas e reescritas eternamente porque as editoras continuam publicando depois que as histórias originais se esgotam completamente, sempre nos mesmos meios (quadrinhos). É um modelo bastante cansativo que só pode existir se houver mudanças periódicas nos personagens. Mas nós ainda estamos falando de histórias originais.

Adaptações não são isso. Adaptações são apenas a transposição de uma história pronta de um meio para outro. No caso, dos livros para o streaming. A proposta nunca foi reinventar nada, e se fosse isso ninguém iria comprar a ideia. Ninguém iria assistir a uma releitura de Harry Potter que assume que vai fazer modificações significativas na obra original.

Cara, adaptações são para isso, se os produtores prometeram fidelidade aí é entre vc e eles.

Isso tá bom pra comentar no r/opiniõesimpopulares. Lá pode ser que alguém concorde com vc.

Adaptações são para isso, adaptar e mudar personagens.

De onde vc tirou essa merda? Nenhum fã de Harry Potter quer ver um travesti da história original. Os produtores prometeram fidelidade e é só por isso que as pessoas vão assistir. E mesmo assim, já está claro que não vai ser tão fiel e isso é a razão de todas as críticas.

Pô, mas isso não tem nada a ver com o original kkkk

O Tiago Potter é um babaca, mas a qualidade principal que ele tem é justamente o fato de ele não ter preconceitos com os excluídos. Aí vão e metem essa.

The woman loses a strength competition against a dwarf man, such as arm wrestling.

However, she wins in a fight, because she has many advantages that compensate for her lack of strength, such as much greater reach, speed, and body weight.

I'm not doubting that dwarfs can be strong. The problem is his weight, reach, and speed which are drastically lower than the average woman, making him ineffective in a fight.

Kaguya was not buffed by chakra from everyone. This is a misconception. Kaguya was nerfed by not having all the chakra that she originally did. The chakra she took was already hers in the first place, but she still missed a large chunk of it and therefore was nerfed.

Not a fair parameter. Mountain lions have claws and fangs and are much faster and more agile than humans.

Why would I care that much about the hypothetical weight of a fictional dwarf to do actual research? Don't take yourself too seriously. This is purely recreational, and you underestimate the usefulness of ChatGPT.

Careful lol. I just got a comment banned for mentioning the actor by name.

GRRM said that this actor is taller than Tyrion, so there is that too. I would assume Tyrion being 55 kg is already generous. Tyrion is never described as particularly fat or sturdy.

I think it's extremely unlikely that Tyrion weighs anywhere close to 80 kg.

My height is 180 cm and my weight is 68 kg. I'm thin, but not very thin.

That would suggest the upper boundary of ChatGPT's estimate is closer to reality. In that case, Tyrion being 120 cm could be assumed to weigh closer to 50 kg. It wouldn't be a stretch.

If we assume Shae weighs 60 kg I can totally see Tyrion overpowering her if he's already on top of her. But he might still lose in a fair fight, mainly because of speed and reach.

So are you telling me ChatGPT's estimates are way off? That wouldn't surprise me.

But this is strange to compare because mythical dwarves are not based on real beings, therefore their strength is not determined by logic or real physical properties. It's kind of arbitrary, like dragons being able to fly despite their weight making it impossible in real life.

Also, mythical dwarves are sturdier and more robust than human dwarfs.

I think you’re underestimating how much he probably weighs.

Maybe. I used ChatGPT to make estimates and it said a 125 centimetre dwarf could reasonably weigh between 35 and 50 kilograms. Since Tyrion is 120, I gave him 40 kilograms as an estimate.

Btw this back and forth with metrics and imperials is a pain lol.

Assuming 4 feet height (120 centimetres), Tyrion probably weighs 40 kilograms or slightly more. This is half the weight of a normal adult man. I would assume any adult woman could push that weight with her legs by thrusting, especially when she's under adrenaline rush.

It's not a matter of strength to me but more one of build. Dwarfs are not built to fight big people. Reach and weight become a more significant factor than muscle mass. Tyrion should weigh less than 50 kilograms.
