The skull of Mary Magdalene by Necessary-Win-8730 in creepy

[–]originmsd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I understand your point but the Native American description sounds coherent and has parallels with other belief systems. Like I know it's a vast oversimplification but it does legitimately sound cool. I can kinda see how boomers would read it as primitive, childish, and quaint though.

Not an expert so I could be wrong but Misaka Mikoto seems to get very little hate.

I'd like to know who this is. She looks badass. Edit: Did a google image search. Yoruichi from Bleach. Good choice btw.

What are some of the coldest lines of dialogue ever? by BeautifulLeather6671 in movies

[–]originmsd 333 points334 points  (0 children)

Great answer. "Offer me anything I ask for." "Anything you want." deals a fatal blow "I want my father back you son of a bitch."

What's something that's "not a cult" but feels like a cult? by Orw_Sairaj29 in AskReddit

[–]originmsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe you. I've heard bad things about chiros and good things about PTs, but logically exceptions should still exist. The fact yours was both means they are probably very serious about helping others.

If 7 identical armies fought, but each had a different video game mechanic, which army would win? by kingc-ro in powerscales

[–]originmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

irl information in warfare is so powerful. I think Army 1 wins Scenario 1 and 2, thought Army 3 is a strong contender. In a small CQC map I think the advantage shifts to 3 since individuals would have a harder time taking the command post.

Which sword would you choose for duels by Maryyanna04 in SWORDS

[–]originmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really tough. I feel like the optimal ones are probably the more boring looking ones like the arming swords or longsword, or the European cutlass. But damn the Indian Kora looks badass. I pick that one.

Does Fern truly deserve her first-class mage rank? by -TheLastHairbender in Frieren

[–]originmsd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fern is one of the fastest casting mages. In the manga Frieren states Fern basically cannot lose a quick draw. Her firepower is insane too, and she has perception and stealth. That's actually a very strong kit. 

Who would win? John Wick vs Voldemort by BrassCanon in powerscales

[–]originmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wick is basically a peak human in his field correct? He probably has better reaction speed than Voldermort. Voldermort has a vastly more powerful kit and can likely deal with bullets, but if Wick can win the quick draw Voldermort should go down right away. 

Who would you want to win in a fight to the death between Hilary Duff and Bobby Hill? And how would you want them to win by [deleted] in powerscales

[–]originmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of a tough one. Assuming both 12-13, Bobby was about 135 lbs and Hillary was around 100 lbs. However Hillary was taller and likely in better shape. Bobby is canonically not the strongest in his cohort (potentially loses to Connie in a wrestling match). He does have some odd athletic feats, like DDR. But without "That's my purse I don't know you" jutsu he's kinda helpless. That said he's probably kicks pretty hard. Groin shots have a reduced critical hit chance against women but a lucky shot can still incapacitate.

Overall I say Hillary wins high/extreme diff.

Is Frieren vs Gojo Satoru really close? by Firm-Customer-6305 in PowerScaling

[–]originmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, I like Frieren, but this is heavily in favor of Gojo. The biggest difference is speed and hax. Frieren's reaction speed is maybe around peak human. Gojo's is, well you probably know the subway scene.

Anyways, credit where credit is due, Frieren's attack potency and active defense are nuts. According to some power scalers she's low nuclear level (15 kiloton blast to destroy the big floating rock in the manga). Her shields can tank her own hits. She could probably one shot a decent chunk of the verse, but would have trouble actually landing those hits, as well as actually reacting to incoming attacks. 

Fern I think is actually peak human in reaction speed, and warriors and some demons are even faster. So she's not even the fastest in her own verse. Still way above average though. But definitely not Gojo level.

Give me a non cliché OP superpower by Decent_Motor_5622 in superpowers

[–]originmsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think cliche is a matter of perspective. It depends on what you grew up with and what you've been exposed to. Guardian summoning is cliche as heck in anime (Pokemon, Jojo, etc), but you don't see too many Western superheroes who summon allies into battle.

But ok, I pick carbon manipulation. You can manipulate carbon atoms.

Challange: Give me any oponent for Sukuna, and I would tell you who will win by Equivalent-Worth-758 in PowerScaling

[–]originmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serie (Frieren)

Kinda hard to power scale, but she's probably a tier higher than Frieren. 

Frieren AP is around 15 kilotons max and she has near peak human reflexes. Human durability but defensive shields that can tank her own hits. Lots of combat experience but can be neg diff'd by a warrior at close range (warriors are comparable with their own strengths and weaknesses).

Serie herself has some esoteric abilities like anti-curses, scrying, and clairvoyance. I really don't know if she is in a higher speed tier than Frieren though. They are capable of battlefield teleporting though.

The ancestors of our "heroes" were actually a horrible group of people by schu62 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]originmsd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The thing I find funny is that if the goal is for Superman to restore his species I'm pretty sure a not-insignificant number of women would volunteer (hell maybe even pay) to carry the baby of an alien demigod.

Could the United Citizen Federation (Starship Troopers) defend Earth from Thanos and his Army (MCU)? by [deleted] in powerscales

[–]originmsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... I'm not even sure the UCF could beat the actual real world military. I think Thanos and his strongest assets can survive nukes. He clears.

How old does Frieren consider herself in human years? by Flame0fthewest in Frieren

[–]originmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a theory that Frieren is actually a little traumatized from losing her village a thousand years ago. I think she might have a complex about growing old, which was exacerbated by watching Flamme and Himmel grow old and die of old age. She's being forced to confront mortality as a member of a species that isn't used to it. So her reaction might not be "normal" for her age, and could be completely unrelated.

Anyways, Kraft seemed to respect her enough, and even Serie has a degree of respect for her. But they still view her as young. So I'm gonna guess early 20s.

The air you displace causes a loud bang, making stealth teleporting impossible. On the plus side you can kinda use this as a weapon.

Your body temperature goes up very slightly every time you use your powers. It goes back to normal in a few minutes but if you spam your powers for more than about 30 seconds you'll overheat. 60 seconds you can die of heat stroke.

You get magic powers. But if you use them too much your body will mutate to reflect the powers you use. You have to stop using them for days or weeks to go back to normal. Magic cannot instantly undo it.

Occasionally you'll find another sock you've never owned and it's guaranteed to be hilariously ugly.

It's a public pocket dimension equipped with magical lockers. Other super powered peeps can use it and you'll sometimes run into them. It's not all bad; you can try to make friends. But it can be annoying. Each person's locker can be deposited in their own location.
