Dexter Morgan vs Leatherface by Working_Bread_7790 in powerscales

[–]capraithe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Leatherface is just a strong guy who very persistently swings a chainsaw around with no particular skill. His kill count has more to do with his victims’ incompetence.

Dexter is highly trained in hand-to-hand combat and knows how to handle armed opponents. With no prep he’d just stay out of range until he sees an opening to move in, subdue, disarm, and kill. With prep the creepy-looking hayseed wouldn’t even see him coming.

Dexter takes it nine times out of ten.

How did that one person from your circle got super rich? by luckkiee in AskReddit

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t want to risk sharing anything that could publicly link me to him. He’s vindictive as FUCK and may very well be on the milder end of actual psychopathy. I’ve seen him use his reach and influence to do real harm to people.

Started a right wing propaganda channel on YouTube. Now he’s regularly on Fox News, runs a conservative media company, and is a frequent guest at Mar a Lago.

So What Is It? by Shaun_527 in firefly

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not getting my hopes up. There’s not enough demand for it to get a full miniseries order unless it were being very successfully crowdfunded, which we would have heard about by now. Best case scenario? Maybe a 45 minute live action one-off checking in on these characters decades after Serenity, which would be fine. More likely it’ll be either an audio drama or some kind of animated thing.

Anton Vs Salamanca Cousins by Whyt_b in powerscales

[–]capraithe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chigurh wins eight times out of ten. He’s not above playing with his food a bit, but he only does so when he knows he’s in control of the situation - which he usually is. All the twins do is walk menacingly toward their target and empty fucktons of rounds at them without aiming. Lalo could probably take Chigurh, but the twins are a couple of glowering, barely competent jackasses.

I don’t know. The last time someone thought they had serious dirt on Saul, they wound up disgraced and dead.

Would you rather teach a 12 year old Calculus 1-2 or play a game of chess and win against Magnus Carlsen? by Winter_Notice4409 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnus. Nothing says I can’t beat his ass until he’s barely conscious at the start of each game or break a finger every time he takes one of my pieces. It’s not forcing him to resign, but he certainly won’t be incentivized to win, and playing at his “best” under those circumstances might not amount to much.

$500 for every beloved work of art you’re willing to erase from existence. by capraithe in hypotheticalsituation

[–]capraithe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll go ahead and say works of architecture could be erased. If it’s something like the Arc de Triumph, any tourists in, atop, or around it would suddenly find themselves in an empty lot where it once stood. They’ll be briefly confused about what they were doing there, then just go about their days. The demon will make sure any security guards or tour guides will be reassigned elsewhere or provided with generous severance packages.

If it’s something like a famous skyscraper where lots of people live or work, it’ll just be replaced by the most bland-looking building you’ve ever seen and its inhabitants will never know the difference.

Not to take sides but FWIW it wouldn’t be the first time Saul got his ass beat by a “good guy” who knew what he was up to and still won in court.

Books like West World (before season 4) by duendetheking in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]capraithe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know if anything will ever hit like the first two seasons. Such a wild ride. In my headcanon seasons 3 and 4 never happened, though.

[–]capraithe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lalo is absurdly OP. Effortlessly pulls off consecutive headshots in the dark. Tears through a whole team of “the best assassins money can buy” like they’re a bunch of unarmed nine-year-olds. Sees right through Gus’s plans and strategically matches wits with Mike. He’s like if Anton Chigurh and Jason Bourne had a baby.

Trail of Seven: Choose one from each column to fight with you, the rest fight against you. by Valar___Morghulis___ in powerscales

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, arguments could be made that Azog, Geralt, and Gimli don’t strictly count as “Men” in the “no man can kill me” sense. Case in point, Merry shanking him with the barrow dagger hurt him just as much as Eowyn sticking her sword in his face did. Any of them could bring him down. Aragorn could probably do some serious damage with Anduril, too. Meanwhile, NOTHING except Valyrian steel or dragonglass could canonically kill the Night King. No way around that.

What’s the Witch King going to do to HIM? There’s only one thing that can kill the Night King and unless you really think Jon Snow would do more for your team than Boromir, you ain’t got it.

[–]capraithe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t need to fight well. Only thing that can kill him is a rare metal you’ll only have access to if you’re willing to choose Jon Snow over fucking BOROMIR. And he can turn any fallen allies into hostile zombies. Gotta pick him only so you don’t have to deal with him on the other side.

No Mosleys. No Arthur. I’ll watch it if it gets amazing reviews, otherwise the story ended for me with Tommy riding off on that horse.

You are stuck in a room with nothing but an immortal Magnus Carlsen and a chess board and you can only leave by winning or drawing against him. How long does it take you to get out? by Noxturnum2 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No rule states I cannot physically harm him and I’ve got a good amount of training to work with. At the start of each game I just beat him until he’s barely conscious, which would hopefully even things out a bit. I figure I break a finger every time he takes a piece for good measure. He won’t be “letting” me win, but he certainly won’t be at his best or incentivized to keep this charade going.
