@s_multiple Firstly, an author often does powerscale, fire lord ozai is such a threat because he is the strongest firebender and aang isn’t strong enough at the beginning of the show Secondly, powerscales can exist without fighting, a boss has power over an employee, there is a scale there

@LRelnam90450 it’s a pointless specification for a writer and makes no sense to consider as a fundamental aspect of creating a story, especially when action/fighting itself is something plenty of stories don’t include at all powerscaling is a thing readers do

Fandom Brain Content Enjoyers convinced themselves power scaling is inherent to “good writing”because they actually mean internal logical consistency. This is because they only interact with franchises as if lore, canon, and worldbuilding exist outside authorial intent

@s_multiple I agree it would be bad writing, do you just take issue with using the term powerscaling?

@LRelnam90450 Theres nothing uniquely different about consistency in one area of a story compared to any other part that needs its own specific categorization for a writer to consider separately. A fight outcome that makes sense but contradicts character motivation is still bad writing

@soweli_lili @TortioSlopio @ShawtyBrothers Powerscales dont need to be represented by numbers, and power scaling is a method to establish and strengthen stakes, the stakes of a story would be destroyed instantly if the main character suddenly became invulnerable to all damage, because it would destroy the powerscale

@LRelnam90450 @TortioSlopio @ShawtyBrothers Not all relationships between two numbers can be expressed as a power scale because power scaling is a different phenomenon than just stakes existing, are you rage baiting?

@s_multiple You can break down the story into different elements and one of them is going to be consistency in the powerscale, such that the interactions are believable, it’s not all one thing jt can be separated down to it’s component parts

@LRelnam90450 what is any other aspect of internal logical consistency called? When making sure different pieces of lore make sense with each other or making sure the tone is consistent with the story? It’s all one thing. The reader is the one that measures

@Guizmo_the_XV @StormDaddy7 Do you think an author is incapable of powerscaling? That it’s just fans that can do it? An author establishes both parties and what they can do they’re necessarily powerscaling that’s the point

That is not powerscalling my guy that term exists because of internet debates over who is the strongest not basic narrative features
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐚'𝐦𝐚𝐧@marashaman04

If you watch a movie about a dangerous murderer who is haunting a little girl, the fact that the adult murderer is scary is based on the fact that he is stronger and more ruthless than the little girl. That's fucking power-scalling.

@LRelnam90450 @Guizmo_the_XV In what way is it different? Romeo and Juliet establishes a ship. Romeo is into Juliet and Juliet is into Romeo. The writer is shipping two characters.

@StormDaddy7 @Guizmo_the_XV David and Goliath establishes a powerscale, Goliath is far stronger physically, David is smarter and has a ranged weapon, there is a powerscale established by the writer. Shipping is fundamentally different and is a false equivalency

@LRelnam90450 @Guizmo_the_XV No, Goliath doesn't use powerscaling because powerscaling is an activity that fans engage in. Do you think Romeo and Juliet makes use of shipping? It has romance in it so it must, no?

@StormDaddy7 @Guizmo_the_XV Do you think the story of David and Goliath makes no use of powerscaling to emphasise it’s point? That although Goliath is physically stronger, David overcomes by leveraging what gives him an advantage, or is it irrelevant cause they didn’t call it powerscaling

@StormDaddy7 @Guizmo_the_XV Battle boarding was a term before and has only been broadcast because of this entire thing, and I don’t give a shit if it’s not in a book that was written 1000 years ago, language adapts and we’ve given a name for something that does exist in those stories

@CritSuccessNerd The powerscale isn’t set it can change and it can change through the course of the fight, and the conditions that the fight takes place in are part of powerscaling, it’s not always 100% on both sides all out no growth and resolved immediately, powerscaling is a theoretical

Power scaling is stupid cause according to them the hero should never beat a main villain ever.

Powercalers need to undertand everyone dislikes you niggas because you don't actually care about the story you just care about hype aura and playing popularity contests, not gauging powerlevels

@blandineband @ShawtyBrothers I think anyone saying it is definitively the most important is obviously wrong, but it is an element and neglecting that element damages the story, it’s the same as if the worldbuilding was poor or the characters were contradictory, they all contribute to the work

@LRelnam90450 @ShawtyBrothers Love Sanderson and DBZ, for what it's worth, both examples of putting power scaling at perhaps too high a premium

@inkblotPrincess Powerscaling is not just “who punches harder” a boss is more powerful than an employee so it immediately creates a dynamic, when the employee fucks up you know there will be consequences because the more powerful party can exercise that power over them

learning that all of the powerscaling discourse originates from a star wars youtuber saying that all books have powerscaling

If she beats him in a hand to hand fight then sure but if she escapes or uses intelligence to overcome him then that’s not an issue, and this coming from someone who’s locked replies, coward
april 🔆🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️@gaypril_906

okay i guess if the little girl survives the dangerous murderer then the story is bad because it's not realistic or whatever. the entire slasher genre sucks now because the final girls must ontologically get killed by the superior slasher because the slasher has more HP

@CypherSirosicks That’s battleboarding, powerscaling in a Shakespeare play would be who has more societal power or the power to exert control, Juliet’s parents in Romeo and Juliet are stronger because they have more ability to exert control over her which makes their threats more significant

Giggling at the idea of Shakespeare pitting MacBeth and MacDuff against each other in Death Battles before finishing the play to figure out which of them wins in terms of power-scaling. Then he moves into things that are just as fundamental, like plot and world-building
Sheev Talks 🟢 || The Andor video arc@SheevTalks

@marauder_matt Unfortunately, power-scaling is about as fundamental a writing mechanic as things like plot and world-building (in most types of stories) so it’s kinda impossible to come to the conclusions you wanted me to

in crying these people actually think that unless you make feat spreadsheets characters are just bumping around in a frictionless void. this is most likely because they are unfamiliar with things like storytelling
Kojo@Kojo_AN

@hyfenphaye True. Everyone knows a trademark of adult stories is characters beating other characters in ways that make no fucking sense.
