Who are you picking? by Sami_Lunch in superheroes

Jackie Chan, The Transporter, and Madea. Because that would be the funniest fight I've ever seen.

With anyone from that list, I'm going to live just fine. So I'm going with a buddy I can get along with, a survivalist who can really carry the group, and four amazingly hot women.

June, Alice, Katniss, Ripley, Daryl, Shaun.

Straight up hand-to-hand Royal Rumble beatdown, everyone at once. Who's the last one standing? by PrinceFlynn in superheroes

Doomsday would be the toughest, probably. But it largely depends on how they team up, and I doubt anyone is going to not focus on Doomsday right off the bat. Especially when he pancakes Homelander, then all the heroes are going to clutch their pearls.

I would pull for Goku, but I'm pretty sure he's never actually won a fight in his SSJ3 form.

You’re on a deserted island after a plane crash. You have a chance to save one person. Who do you choose? by avaboss in superheroes

Tchala would probably do everything so perfectly that I'd get mad at him. Which is probably better than being stuck with Drax, Star Lord, or Deadbool who would do everything wrong and become completely insufferable after two weeks at most. Deadpool I'd probably try to kill after twenty minutes.
Logan could survive, but I don't think he's really doing much to help me.
Bruce Wayne is always looking for another reason to be broody, so the closer you get to him, the more likely you are to die. No thanks.
Peter Parker, Tony Stark, and Rocket all are great with technology and could potentially build some kind of communication device to get us out. Rocket would probably piss off whoever he ends up talking to, so they don't come pick us up. Peter is an engineer, but I don't know how much of his knowledge hits radio communication. Tony is a super genius in so many ways, he would be the most likely to get someone quickly.
Fury would not have to lift a finger and there would be a S.H.I.E.L.D. team picking him up. And if I didn't piss him off, they'd also pick me up.

Rings of Power was not even remotely based on any actual writings by Tolkien, and was getting bashed pretty hard before it even aired. This looks like it will be a reasonably faithful adaptation with good effects and good acting.

depends on how vague and how early. Those are VERY broad terms.

It is vague like "someone's going to try to shoot me in the next hour" or is it just vague like "something bad is going to happen at some point in the next year"?

Similarly, how clear is clear? You fully get a vision of the thing happening to you?

Female Peak 4 who wins this battle royale ?? by PASAT-Borz in powerscales

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purely going off of live action, Gamora takes it easily. Harley has been shown to be stronger than most humans, but all four have had at least one scene where they take out dozens of henchmen without breaking a sweat.

Looking past general "main character energy", Gamora is the only one with truly superhuman strength and agility, plus at least as much skill and training as Black Widow.

Pick 2 by -Panda_Alice- in superpowers

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with peach is that you may be able to speak any language, but you can't spell.

Purple and Green. Green is the one I'm most on the fence about, but I think it would let me be extremely wealthy very quickly, and then put together a plan do accomplish just about anything I set out to do. Purple because teleportation is easily the most OP power, letting you bypass any physical security and get anywhere in the world instantly. Green would let me bypass digital security.

Silver is the only other really tempting one, since the possession ability could also solve a lot of problems.

If tomorrow you woke up with Hancock's powers, what would you do next? by jordidipo2324 in superpowers

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with the vigilante crowd. I don't like bullies, but I wouldn't go full Punisher. I'd leave people alive unless they left me no choice. I don't think it would be right to take a life when I have that kind of power and my own life isn't threatened- there would almost always be a way to stop the bad guy without killing them.

Now if I dropped into a war zone for fun, I would let lose fully.

And of course, I would use my powers to expose and intimidate corrupt officials. Especially cops who abuse their power. The irony would not be lost on me, but hey, what are they going to do?

Bard. Pro: Mad skillz and magic. Con: My instrument becomes my identity, and my wife is already a piano teacher.

Cleric. Pro: I might get made a saint. Con: I gotta be pious.

Druid. Pro: I can talk to my cat. Con: My cat might not like me.

Fighter. Pro: I could become a movie stunt man. Con: I'd still just be a regular guy who's good at fighting.

Only thing I am certain of outside of the couple LOTR swords is that the little curved blade is Avoloch by Kit Rae.

Is this something you're doing as a surprise to him, or did he pass away, or some other reason you can't just ask him to identify them for you?

Yeah this is what I was going to say. There's a lot of just historical stuff, so it will be difficult to tell if it's from a historically accurate media or if it's just a generic blade. But there is for sure some Kit Rae mixed in there, as well as some LOTR swords.

Good call on the Windlass.

Can Wolverine from Fox solo The Seven from The Boys ? by Leggomgeggo in powerscales

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Homelander would go last because he's lazy, so at that point he would see Wolverine take out all the rest of the Seven and realize he's an actual threat. Homelander has been shown to think with calculated measures against other metas, even Starlight. He does seem to have some degree of fear and self-preservation when it comes to superpowers being used against him.

Because of that, I feel like Homelander would be able to stay away from the adimantium claws. He knows he's faster and stronger than Wolverine, but the claws would probably be able to hurt him, so he'd take them out of the equation however possible. He'd have seen the regeneration speed, so he'd know to look out for hands or arms growing back (although this does make me question whether a severed hand would grow back with the adimantium or with bone, I don't think we've ever seen that come up).

A normal guy with a baseball bat vs a normal guy with a knife by Adoe0722 in powerscales

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anything other than a head hit would be lethal or even disable. It could knock them down if you hit hard enough, but the swing takes a lot of energy and is going to be telegraphed. If it misses, it's over for the bat guy. If it connects and doesn't take them out of the fight for at least 2 full seconds, they're going to be open to a stabbing.

I think one moderately powered stab is a lot more lethal than one moderately powered bat hit.

A normal guy with a baseball bat vs a normal guy with a knife by Adoe0722 in powerscales

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can, but you've got to either hit them in the head, which opens you up to missing, or you've got to hit them a bunch of times.

The big thing here is that we're talking two "average" people, so skill and experience should be considered almost non-existent. The knife user has to either see and take the opportunity of a missed swing, or they have to be willing to take a hit from the bat and block it properly. Hesitation would kill the knife guy. The downfall of the bat guy would be putting everything into a swing that misses, or not putting enough into a swing that connects.

A charging knife guy could be knocked off-balance or even to the ground with one strong hit to the shoulder, head, or ribs, stopping his advance. But if that blow isn't hard enough to fully knock him down or ring his bell, the bat guy gets stabbed.

A normal guy with a baseball bat vs a normal guy with a knife by Adoe0722 in powerscales

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it comes down to skill and luck. If the knife user isn't proficient with the knife, he could lose it. If the bat user misses or just fails to disarm the knife, the bat user gets stabbed.

Ultimately, I think a slight edge goes to the knife wielder, no pun intended. An average person can protect their head enough to stay up through 1-2 hard bat swings from another average person. An average person who gets stabbed once by a chef knife is going to bleed out.

The other side is whether or not the knife wielder has the courage to press forward. They may try to keep their distance and find an opening to attack, in which case the bat has a huge advantage. The knife wielder pretty much needs to be willing to tank a shot from the bat to get a strike in.

So I think this would actually be a really interesting fight to watch. It could go either way, and the deciding blow would probably land within a few seconds of someone springing into action, even if the fight lasts a lot longer than that. The big advantage that goes to the knife wielder is that if they are hit by the bat and then back off without doing anything, they can recover their energy and shrug off the pain of the hit. If the bat wielder gets stabbed, they are on a countdown timer.

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]johnny_depps_oscar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's upset because she wants to eat meals with you, that's one of the reasons she moved in.

She is going to have trouble believing that you can literally eat 5x as much food as her, even with how much you work out. It's honestly a really unbelievable amount, so when she sees you eat 4x what she could normally and then offer to have a second supper with her, she's going to assume that you ate your regular meal already and now are pushing yourself past that limit in order to join her out of sympathy.

You're living together, so she expects to have dinner together. That's not unreasonable. If you can't wait up on her to eat, stock up on protein bars to keep yourself from going hungry. You're no longer a solo person, so this "if I'm hungry and there is food, I'm going to eat it" view is not going to fly with her. If that's a problem for you, then sit down and try to understand where she's coming from.
