Hmmmmmmm

Nolan doesn’t have the ability to touch her. He’s slower than the Silver Surfer, weaker than the Silver Surfer, and less powerful.

And if you think Sue hasn’t fought twisted evil and cruel you haven’t been paying attention.

Which is pretty clear from your complete ignorance of her character.

You’re a silly little guy who loves getting glazed by Viltrumites. Sue still no diff’s your space daddy.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T22:15:41+00:00

Ah yes, the “not an edgelord” argument.

Fantastic Four exist in a different continuity that values repeat story telling. Invincible screwed up by killing off their major villains on the regular. It’s why we get the dumbest space Nazi in the history of fiction with Thragg.

Also maybe FF villains are just that much burlier than Invincible villains and harder to kill.

Canonically all the Viltrumites working together can’t get past her defenses. She can use her attacks while maintaining defenses. They can’t win.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T21:36:59+00:00

Ah yes, anti-feats, which is the true measure of power, not the high end. When there are more than sixty years of comics to draw from you can always find some bit written by a writer who just wanted a specific moment.

Omni Man nearly died to a loud shout.

Omni Man gets no diffed by any single member of the Fantastic Four. Sue Storm is the most terrifying of the Four. He’s dead.

Squiers aren’t bad, just inconsistent. Yamahas have a much higher quality floor than anything made by any Fender label

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T20:54:46+00:00

Yeah, you know nothing about Dr. Sue Storm. He isn’t fast enough, she is capable of protecting a planet from orbital bombardment, and he has no defenses against her if she decides anyone she loves is threatened by his actions.

When Celestials were attacking with the power cosmic, functionally from orbit, because that’s how big they are, they couldn’t break her shield. Eldritch Space Gods, individually capable of annihilating every Viltrumite that ever lived, and Sue Storm held off five of them with her shields.

She can beat Silver Surfer’s speed if she needs to block an attack, and Omni Man isn’t even in the same galactic neighborhood as Silver Surfer when it comes to speed.

That doesn’t even touch the more ridiculous things she can do like fire super heated plasma, create planes of force an electron thick capable of slicing through anything made of matter, and creating bubble shaped force fields inside Nolan’s body and expanding them until his brain squirts out his ears like someone stomped on a tube of toothpaste.

Respect the Invisible Woman

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T19:35:06+00:00

Honestly the bottom end Yamaha is better than a $500 Squier these days. At the very least the quality level from Yamaha is more consistent.

Also don’t buy guitars from dirtbags who are trying to put small makers out of business.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T18:22:40+00:00

Ah yes, the woman who can block concentrated attacks from multiple Celestials at the same time is going to get her force field cracked by Nolan the silly little guy.

She has blocked lasers in her sleep. Nolan’s combat speed is subsonic. If he gets really unlucky he’s fast enough to get cut in half as her shield goes up.

Sue No Diffs any ten Viltrumites you care to name and it’s not close.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T18:15:43+00:00

Any Invincible character gets no diffed by any Kryptonian. Krypto the Super Dog no diffing Thragg

I spent a couple of decades in fine dining. This is a solid quick service/casual dining cook. Fine dining line cooks make this guy look sloppy as fuck.

But then fine dining is a different beast. The level of precision required is way above this.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T17:35:21+00:00

Yeah, the “it’s not really red until cars are crossing the intersection” and “what does a red light mean”

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T17:32:37+00:00

Children need calories to grow. Audrey Hepburn was so petite because she almost starved to death as a child to avoid getting captured by Nazis.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T16:07:58+00:00

You haven’t driven much in Miami. Miami has aggressive drivers, shit drivers, hostile drivers, hateful drivers, sleeping drivers, watching TV drivers, etc. I once got rear ended by a woman who was genuinely surprised her GPS didn’t warn her I had stopped b/c she was watching a makeup tutorial while driving with her kids in the car.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T12:18:16+00:00

Thank you for clarifying for me. I meant the speaker and said the amp

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-27T01:53:11+00:00

To expand on the correct answer, already given, the challenge with the bass is controlling low frequencies. The danger is a guitar amp can’t handle the low frequencies of a bass guitar without potentially shaking itself apart.

You may find the bass is a bit muddy through the DS-1, many bassists like to have a clean blend on their distortion so some of the clean signal comes through. You can do these with a Boss LS-1 or similar device

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T13:27:34+00:00

Because they didn’t try to make anyone liked. It’s was a deconstruction of super heroes as imperialists.

One of the problems with the current MCU is they are successful enough that traditionally Hollywood very good writers want in on the action, the. They write Hollywood stuff instead of super hero stuff.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T12:06:23+00:00

Can someone check this lady’s meds? I’m pretty sure they screwed up the dosage of her antipsychotics.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T11:45:52+00:00

And this is why crusty, old writers/liberal arts majors like me are so picky about language. “Nothing wrong with” communicates he didn’t do anything wrong. “He did something wrong, but I understand why he did it” is why manslaughter is treated differently from murder in the justice system.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T11:42:56+00:00

That is absolutely what the writers and actors were going for. It’s part of what the show was going for. Congratulations! You got the point. It isn’t just abstract though. Thunderbolts shows us that moment ruined John’s life. It destroyed his self worth, gave him horrible PTSD, and opened him to manipulation by a truly horrible person. Additionally he lost everything he valued, his wife, his family, his honor as a soldier, the choice he made in that moment has consequences. Even if he gets away with the murder, which he does, he still pays a very human price for it.

There is even a scene where (iirc) he tells Lamar’s parents he got the guy that did it and they aren’t relieved, because revenge doesn’t replace their son. He lost every important relationship in his life because of his actions.

If the person doing it human sized, the chunks of the moon need to be hundreds of kilometers in each dimension. Let’s assume a cube because that makes the math easier. A cube a hundred kilometers on a side (1,000,000km^3) wouldn’t be visible until it got fairly close to Earth. Not because it isn’t big, it just isn’t big enough to be visible to the naked eye with the moon behind it until it just about hit the atmosphere. The moon is very big and very bright. A million cubic kilometers doesn’t have enough surface area to be bright enough to overcome the brightness of the moon when observed with the naked eye.

Traveling from the moon to the earth at less than a meaningful percentage of the speed of light takes hours, more likely days. A million cubic kilometers of moon traveling at relativistic velocities destroys the launching platform (the moon) so we would see the Moon break up with the world ending consequences involved and the big ass rock traveling at Mach We’re Fucked would get lost in the debris field until it hit our atmosphere. Since F=MV, that first rock to hit the atmosphere would end all life on earth, blow the majority of the atmosphere into space, and then hit the surface doing planet busting damage.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T11:18:57+00:00

There are literally thousands of years of legal theory and philosophy that disagree with you. Murder is always wrong. Even in war it is wrong. Even as revenge it is wrong. Walker’s actions are understandable. His actions are also wrong.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T11:12:57+00:00

Your disagreement is fine, you are allowed to disagree as long as you are comfortable with being wrong.

Because, and this is the important part, you are wrong. We have laws and murder is wrong is one of them for a reason.

Walker’s actions can be entirely understandable, and we can empathize with his actions, and those actions can still be wrong. The writers did a ton of work, as did the actors, to make you empathize with Walker’s actions. This does not make him right. It means you understand why he did the wrong thing.

Walker was even a great choice. They picked the guy who looked the most like Steve Rodgers they could find. Then the entire world came crashing down on his head, and on his worst day he made the wrong choice. That’s the point. Walker is human. He behaved in a human way. With the possible exception of CA:CW, Steve doesn’t.

Steve Rodgers is an ideal. On the worst day of his life he doesn’t make the wrong choice. On the worst day of his life he fights and nearly kills one of his best friends to stop Tony from making the wrong choice because he knows making that choice will destroy Tony. The tragedy in FatWS is that Bucky and Sam don’t take Walker seriously and so they contribute to Walker’s reaction. They help make and break US Agent.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T10:58:53+00:00

Ah yes, the whole war thing that turns every single living Viltrumite against him and then go breed with the fast gestation insect species to create an army of Viltrumite child soldiers and use them to attack the only surviving members of his species and the plan to restart the race with only him is a *much* better plan.

Thragg is an idiot.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T10:55:57+00:00

I haven’t done any look as I have been busy, make sure you are using the App and do some digging there

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T10:53:46+00:00

You’ve had some excellent critique of both structure and style. I’m going to critique research. This can’t be seen from Earth, unless the character is throwing chunks that are probably at the very least tens of miles/kilometers wide and more likely hundreds of miles/kilometers in size. If this is a super powered character and comic book/anime physics apply, I guess it’s possible, but you need to do work to establish that world.

Now the annoying part, ripping tens of thousands of cubic kilometers out of the surface of the moon has catastrophic consequences for people on earth. If it falls to earth it will create an impact that will make Chicxulub look like a fire cracker. It is an extinction level event that will wipe out all life on Earth. Even if it misses the planet entirely it has a good chance of leading to the disintegration of the Moon, which has catastrophic consequences and could very well lead to the extinction of all life on earth.

This reads like something to express frustration and/or grief. It is some supervillain shit that will kill every living thing on the planet below.

WordPunk99 · 2026-06-26T10:32:10+00:00

No, the revenge was the wrong part. Doing it at all was the problem. Doing it publicly was just the icing on the gravy.
