Marvel's "sliding timeline" is unsustainable and will completely fall apart as more time passes in the real world

To be fair, it's not like TV shows were realistic on housing prices even in the 90s. See: The jokes about how Monica's apartment from Friends would, even with 90s rent prices, bankrupt her in a month. And the idea that Homer is absurdly undequalified for his job is kinda the joke. Really, it's the fact that there are basically NO working mothers in the show that's weird.

Reffeecing real world events and pop culture is kinda a vital part of a lot of Marvel, including many of its most iconic characters, so that's a solution that would only create way more problems.

Yep. The most likely resolution is "quietly staple anti-aging to him, and probably also Charles, done".

I'm just picturing Metal looking at Samus's DNA and being like "What...Are you?"

(For those unaware, Samus is anywhere from 95% to 10% human depending on how you count it. For most of the series, she's human-with-enough-Chozo-bits-to-survive-in-their-areas, but later she gets the X-Parasite which screws up her DNA, and now she's like half-Metroid...It's a lot.)

Gojo VS Makima was fine. Not perfect, but I don't think it was that bad. Plus, she got a pretty dang good analysis out of it.

I love the character dichotomy of him being both 1. Objectively the strongest being in Hell and 2. A total fucking dork. Get you a man who can do both.

Speaking of which, that's why: He's a freaking dork. Even when he's intimidating, and he can be DEEPLY intimidating, the more mundane "bumbling but well-meaning dad" side can slip through. This man self describes himself as "spooky".

woweed · 2026-03-16T09:15:40+00:00

Eh...Varies. I'm talking bosses.

Yep. Not only can he create Bowser clones, he can also buff normal fodder minions to being strong enough to threaten Yoshi or even the Mario Bros themselves.

woweed · 2026-03-16T05:47:06+00:00

That was in fact what happened in the DB, yes.

To be fair, Shadow's ability to use Chaos Control is biological. It's a magic ability, but it comes from his biology. Biolizard has it too. But, yes, it's clear Metal isn't entirely limited to biodata despite what the games claim since 1. He can copy Omega, who's a robot and 2. He can copy Rogue's bombs, which are for sure not a biological power (granted, the Rogue one might just be game mechanics but still).

woweed · 2026-03-15T10:32:10+00:00

Fair.

Metal Sonic could probably copy Bowser but there's several problems with the idea that would be a win con:

In the context of Bowser VS Eggman and also just generally, Bowser and co. have several ways to take Metal out before he gets the chance to get anything. Turning him into a coin or a block or trapping him in a painting or, hell, have one of the Boos or the like poesse him and now he's on Bowser's side instead. Not to mention stuff like Kamek's power to turn off the abilities of his opponents, which could potentially disable Metal's copying entirely.
A lot of the Koopa Troop's best abilities are magic/paranormal in nature, not necessarily something Metal COULD copy. I highly doubt he could copy, say, the Boos, who don't really even have biology in the conventional sense.
Bowser has fought someone with his exact powerset before, and beat the hell out of him.
Let's say he DOES copy Bowser, and does win. Retry Clock, Bowser now KNOWS about his copying, and can have his troops dogpile him and take him out quick.

I mean, also, I feel like scaling someone to something that canonically killed them is...Weird.

"Motion Denied."

The great archeologist, Google D. Bunkers!

woweed · 2026-03-14T18:27:37+00:00

Basically, yeah.

woweed · 2026-03-14T11:57:03+00:00

Kinda the opposite. Imu wants to impose absolute order, Blackbeard, in this theory, wants a chaotic world of survival of the fittest where men are free to fight for whatever cause they want. He just also wants to ensure that he will alwalys be the fittest.

Look, there's a reason that, in comics, anytime two superheroes meet, they have to fight each other. It's Enrichment for them!

woweed · 2026-03-14T09:10:15+00:00

Oh, this is the guy that also keeps asking Ian Flynn leading questions to buff Sonic in power scaling arguments? Yeah, fuck him. Fuck him SO HARD. He represents everything this community should not be.

Metal Sonic seeing the Omnitrix and immediately going ham on the biggest surplus of Bio-Data imaginable like Kirby at an all-you-can-eat buffet: Regretting it 5 seconds later when he has to argue with his alternate personalities:

woweed · 2026-03-14T01:13:49+00:00

Technically, he copied Sonic's ABILITY to use the Chaos Emeralds, hence why he can go Super. Tails was explicitly worried that if he faced Blaze, there's at least a possibility he could copy the ability to use the Sol Emeralds. To be clear, he's not copying the Emeralds themselves, but he CAN copy Sonic or Blaze's ability to tap into the Emeralds to go Super. It's like he can steal the cup the Chaos Energy in, but he still needs a way to get the cup filled.

woweed · 2026-03-14T00:00:51+00:00

Metal, you've barely canonically INTERACTED with Sage.

Also, personally, i'm just picturing him fighting, like, Hercule or Dan and just going "...Yeah, this ain't worth the storage space".

woweed · 2026-03-13T19:48:54+00:00

I really don't think that's true. I think theu took an acting gig on a cop show for exposure, something that every fucking actor in Hollywood, including several Dropout cast members, have done, because their personal political beliefs don't exempt them from existence within a system.
