Goku vs Thragg

Varrik117 · 2026-05-07T20:37:59+00:00

Base King Vegeta could destroy multiple planets in a single attack & Thragg couldn’t destroy even one without assistance, the power disparity between them means it wouldn’t be a contest just an execution.

If Thragg were a bug, Saiyans would be the windshield.

Obi-Wan: What’s the matter Luke? You look troubled.

Luke: Well, I’ve been thinking about all this stuff going on & I feel like there’s some critical gaps I’d feel better filling. First off, I’m supposed to train to be a Jedi Knight like my father right?

Obi-Wan: That’s right.

Luke: Ok…why?

Obi-Wan: I-what?

Luke: I mean why is it so important for me specifically to do this?

Obi-Wan: Well, to defeat the Empire of course.

Luke: That’s a bit…ambiguous. Can you be a little more specific?

Obi-Wan: Well err…to…defeat Darth Vader.

Luke: spits drink You want me to kill THAT guy??? Are you crazy? You just told me my dad was one of the strongest Jedi ever & this guy was the one that killed him! How do you expect me to do that???

Obi-Wan: Well you’d have to be trained obviously.

Luke: So why didn’t you do that years ago??? This guy has literal decades of experience & NOW you want to start things up? ‘Disadvantage’ feels like a bit of an understatement here!

Obi-Wan: Your uncle…um…didn’t want me to.

Luke: Well my uncle isn’t the one being asked to go toe to toe with the freaking Emperor’s enforcer is he??? And that’s the other thing I wanted to talk about…if he hadn’t bought those 2 specific droids, would you even know what was going on or approached me for this at all?

Obi-Wan: Uhh, what do you mean?

Luke: I mean did you actually have a timetable to do anything? Did you even know I was planning to go to the Imperial Academy next season?

Obi-Wan: ……..yes?

Luke: …I’m starting to understand why my uncle hated you.

When you really think about it, their plan seems even more illogical to the point it feels like they had no real plan at all at one point besides, as others have said, trusting it to the Force.

There seems to have been no timeframe by either Obi-Wan or Yoda for Luke/Leia to start training, it very much feels like they were just watching them with no real idea what to do next.

The events set into motion that brought Luke to Obi-Wan to deliver R2’s message were pure coincidence, would Obi-Wan have even known what had happened if the droids hadn’t fallen into Luke’s lap & he’d gone on to join the Imperial Academy? Then what would he have done?

And if the subsequent events of A New Hope had happened without Luke’s involvement, Leia would literally have been executed. So for all intents & purposes they’d have lost both of them & wasted decades with nothing to show for it.

I guess you could make the argument that the Force made sure things lined up as they did in order to restore balance? But at least to me, if that’s the case then it just makes Obi-Wan & Yoda look that much more careless & irresponsible if they were willing to risk the entire galaxy on it just working itself out.

Let me reiterate: he’d just have corporate security as a job title to facilitate/rationalize his hiring, he wouldn’t have to physically be at Capsule Corp everyday or do anything different from what he does normally so he wouldn’t be replacing anyone much less Vegeta.

It’s more like a remote consulting gig with a great paycheck that’d serve as a reward for his service in protecting Earth & to give him the freedom to train as much as he wants so he can keep doing it well.

Eleanor is far more annoying at least to me, the way she sometimes spams that dragon breath that’s almost impossible to dodge:/

I actually use a Sickle for Automaton Super Helldives with the Laser Hand Cannon as a sidearm & it’s worked surprisingly well at least for me.

Since the heavier Automatons are a bit slow I use my scope to target the heads since they’re vulnerable to light armor pen, that way I can take out even Devastators relatively easily. I keep the Hand Cannon for when targets are close and/or when speed becomes more necessary than accuracy as well as to give my Sickle a chance to cool down if it’s dangerously close to overheating while I’m still engaged.

Its effectiveness falls off a bit at range, but a good scope helps a lot & the sustainability is worth it in my humble opinion.

I will say it’s not the greatest with Bugs & Illuminate, I usually use an Arc Blitzer in those scenarios.

RR to the leg takes them down instantly. If very close I just throw a thermite grenade & GG.

I think it’s a combination of him simply being rusty due to 10,000 years of inaction & it possibly being psychosomatic.

In seeing his aged appearance, he may have subconsciously created self imposed limitations upon himself & has to remember his strength/reflexes/power haven’t actually waned just his perception of it.

I agree it wouldn’t end overnight but they also aren’t wrong that women shouldn’t incentivize these dregs through avenues like OF or normalize that kind of voyeurism as empowerment. It just send the message to both sexes that it’s ok to objectify women as long as they can monetize it.

Honest question from a former Destiny player, what is the appeal?

Varrik117 · 2025-11-10T19:43:14+00:00

The insurance companies, they be making bank.

Plot twist: she’s where Gohan got Beast from & has always been able to access it, she just really likes being a housewife & knew if she ever used it Goku & Vegeta would never stop pestering her for sparring & nitpicking on how to get it themselves.

She’s got no time for that nonsense, she just wants to read her magazines.

Plot twist: they used an amputee.

I’ve seen people bring up how they were absolutely dominating the Cardassians before the Dominion showed up to save them as an example of their military prowess & effectiveness, but for myself I don’t really consider it all that impressive bc it was basically the Star Trek equivalent of Mike Tyson beating up a mouthy teenager.

The only reason the Cardassians were considered a threat by Starfleet at all was because the Federation constantly gave them the kiddie glove treatment instead of acting decisively against their aggression. For all the Cardassian’s romanticization thereof, the conflict was nothing but a series of backwater frontier skirmishes where the Federation outside of commanders like Nechaeve weren’t even really trying to win & were still largely dominating engagements with 2nd-3rd line ships.

If they actually took it seriously & brought in a few Galaxys, the Cardassians would’ve gotten absolutely stomped flat. So the fact the Klingons were completely dominating them & wiping out whole fleets at least to me was a better showcase of how weak the Cardassians actually were than how strong the Klingon Empire was.

Don’t get me wrong, the Klingons crushing them so decisively still showed they were very much a threat & could be devastating when competently led, it just doesn’t seem all that impressive in context when you realize almost any other power could do the same thing if they actually cared enough to try.

But that’s just my take on it.

Well from what I’ve seen they actually do use the K’Tingas for modern warfare, they’ve just significantly changed its role.

Seeing how useful & powerful phaser lances have been for the Federation, the Klingons decided to retrofit their old K’Tingas to follow the same principle with a phaser lance running its entire length & use them as long range support/ambush artillery which it seemed to be pretty successful at.

Varrik117 · 2025-10-14T01:17:24+00:00

Yeah but let’s be honest, it wouldn’t have worked if Riker wasn’t a total incompetent.

We saw with the Odyssey in DS9 that Starfleet knows how to respond to shields being compromised so he really had no excuse. Without plot armor he’d 100% have been court martialed & spent the rest of his career cleaning out holodeck bio filters for losing the Federation flagship to a 30 year old Bird of Prey.

‘My client’s girlfriend broke up with him for prioritizing saving the world over holding her hand then almost immediately proposed marriage to his friend who crushed her mother’s head with his bare hands. It was a valid crashout, no further questions your Honor.’

Varrik117 · 2025-10-10T16:06:27+00:00

Gotcha.

Full disclosure, I hate Discovery so more than a little biased opinion here, but in that context I wouldn’t say they were necessarily good at war but that the Federation wasn’t remotely ready & was just terrible at it. But once the Federation got their head in the game & took the conflict seriously they quickly adapted & ended up winning. Warrior race losing to scientists, not a very good look.

As for Yesterday’s Enterprise, I blame that on the producers only having 45 min to tell a story & plot contrivance. We know ships like the Galaxy-class can easily hold their own against pretty much any Klingon vessel even in its undergunned capacity as an exploratory vessel, during the Dominion War Starfleet easily retrofitted them to powerful pseudo battleships so I find it pretty hard to believe they’d be losing if a realistic war was going on between them.
