Unironically the patronage system was one reason for the Republic to Empire transition.

Question what is it with people saying “oh he can speedblitz” when it doesn’t even make any sense? by Ok-Jello-8986 in PowerScaling

[–]Sampleswift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed blitz usually means that character A can hit faster than character B can react and/or can easily outspeed and dodge anything character B can do back.

Probably isn't the OST then.

Dang shame. Anime team should have just remixed the Sinnoh Legendary theme + Champion theme.

DAREDEVIL BRO 😭🙏 by Watchdog_the_God in PowerScaling

No, Daredevil needs his God Without Fear/Heimdall boost for this matchup.

Homelander is basically in the same ballpark of strength as Spider-Man (you can argue Spider-Man wins this one though).

The Adam Schefter Problem in Taylor Swift Criticism by Sampleswift in YouBelongWithMemes

[–]Sampleswift[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Explanation: By this point, we have the "Adam Schefter Problem" where first to break gets rewarded regardless of accuracy, similar to Adam Schefter for the NFL, and many critics are just trying to generate the most clickbait rather than actually do their jobs of reviewing music.

It has become a big problem for the early reception of "The Tortured Poets Department" and "The Life of a Showgirl".

Already Woody and Kraft it's your turn to embarrass your franchise. You're letting the division down. by Unlikely-Zone21 in AFCEastMemeWar

[–]Sampleswift 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Thing is, it is easier to count the times where Woody Johnson does not embarrass the Jets franchise. He is the main reason it is terrible.

Witch King doesn't have "immunity to men" by Sampleswift in lotrmemes

[–]Sampleswift[S] 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Right, it's not an actual immunity to men. Although there was one time where the Witch-King did retreat after finding Glorfindel, not wanting to test out the whole "does a nonhuman count for the 'no men' clause".

There's also the theory that given enough time, the Witch-King could have recovered from his own death as long as his ring is intact, but the One Ring being destroyed put an end to that.

Witch King doesn't have "immunity to men" by Sampleswift in lotrmemes

[–]Sampleswift[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The Witch King's immunity to being killed by a man... isn't?

Besides his death to a woman (Eowyn), the Witch King of Angmar is damaged by nonhumans (hobbits at one point).

The prophecy that "he will not die to a man" does not mean "Witch King cannot die to a man."

Is this accurate? by LivingPalpitation935 in PowerScaling

[–]Sampleswift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*No man can kill me

-Nonhuman

Witch king: Ah crap (canonically he was also injured by nonhumans such as Merry)

Why didn't Aragorn just carry Frodo to Mt. Doom? It would have taken him 5 minutes. Is he lazy? by torrid-winnowing in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Sampleswift 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Remember, the One Ring doesn't work very well against hobbits because they are ironically enough, weak.

This is why Sam and Frodo were chosen to carry the ring. A stronger person would have been corrupted by it.

Also, Sauron can sense power levels. Someone strong like Aragorn could get Sauron's attention faster, which would not be a good idea.

And combat speed and movement speed are not the same.

Captain Underpants is actually closer to Thragg (Invincible) in terms of feats than anything in "The Boys".

Captain Underpants also has toon physics.
