@Kremason7 people will see characters not be relevant to every arc and think the author forgot about them
English
funny how there were mfs who genuinely thought Hokazono forgot about Hiyuki and that she won't have that much importance to the plot later lol he sidelined her cuz she's way too op prolly one of the only few that can fight with Akemura

@paulodejesus801 Why? There aren’t other terms for other specifications. If you say “x isn’t consistent with y in this story” people would understand what you mean without it needing a specific term to describe it. The discussion itself is already specific enough to be useful
English
@s_multiple @ETCviperidae Make it more specific about what element in specific you are referring to in terms of consistency. "Narrative consistency" is an umbrella term (it can refer to plot, characterization, theme, etc.), so it helps to have a term to specify what you're referring to.
English
The thing is we already have words for that in writing, but powerscalers keep trying to retroactively make powerscaling synonymous with narrative consistency when most of the time, they never used it that way. They used it to battleboard or make "how strong is x really" videos.

The recent powerscaling conversation is interesting. From what I can gather the pro power scalers are basically just saying the being consistent about what your character is capable of doing and not having it flip flop for no reason is good. Which seems reasonable to me 🤷♀️
English
@anglereactor if I remember right, Owen mentioned on one of the post bannerfall steams that the creaking king stuff wasn’t planned from the beginning, so sausage was probably being honest then
English
@ETCviperidae You’ll critique using the specifics of the story that you’re critiquing, you don’t need a word for every aspect of a story that can be narratively inconsistent. The problem on the writer’s end is the same.
English
@s_multiple They did, its powerscaling. Its very useful because it describes a specific a type of verisimilitude. A story can have many other aspects of narrative consistency nailed but if the character fights are entirely abstract you'll just use that broad critique? Cmon.
English
@ETCviperidae why should someone invent one? what would that do for writers?
English
@s_multiple Wow, someone should invent a more specific term for that certain kind of narrative consistency. What if, they did?!
English
@MikeyNohMore What is the term for narrative consistency specifically in regards to power mikey? What do people call that?
English

so to clear things up for power scalers - generously, what you refer to as power scaling is what we call in literary analysis a ‘critical lens’. scalers look at works through the lens of comparing power levels and stakes for verisimilitude
English
@TheManOfTomorr It’s the comparing of in universe strengths done by powerscalers, it’s a way they analyze and engage with a story. If you don’t need to be a writer/creator to do it, it isn’t a fundamental aspect of storytelling
English
@s_multiple Powerscaling has never been specifically about how fans assess strength. Where did you get that from?
English
what you, as a powerscaler, are doing to determine the relative strength of characters via plot events and what the writer is doing when they write a character to explicitly be of a certain power level are fundamentally different things. explicitly different things. by definition
English
@TheManOfTomorr No, because power scaling is the way fans assess strength and the fans aren’t telling the story
English
@arakkosuperstar While fans and writers may not always assess character strength the same way, power scaling remains an important component of storytelling. You agree on that, right?
English
@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
English
@s_multiple I agree it would be bad writing, do you just take issue with using the term powerscaling?
English
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
English
@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
English
@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
English
@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
English
@ShawtyBrothers Whats it called when you have internal logical consistency when it comes to determining a characters strength? Surely they have to exist on some kind of scale where they can be measured against each other, right? Because if not then it wouldn’t be consistent
English
the reason this doesn’t work is because power-scaling isn’t a writing mechanic, it’s a form of analysis and engaging with a piece of media
“power-scalers”, the people who do the actual power-scaling, are the readers not the author
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
English
@eltigre13131 Plus everything they aren’t aware of, like Kinta and Vamloa’s unknown status, Mantis Shrimp being nearby, and probably the presence of the Serpos as well
English
Guaranteed this is another example of the Paladins' arrogance. They think that because they have Momo powerless and in a bad situation and Jiji swallowed that the fight's done
They don't know that they're dealing with the Strategy Queen and the Group Prodigy #Dandadan234
English
@ultrapom22 this arc has been setting up that Okarun needs to be proactive and honest, so it needs to follow through on that to stick the landing
English
@timesheets_guru i just hope it wont be just aira realizing that ken doesnt love him. That would be uber lame on okarun's part
English
@zannisontwt Also a lot of the negations have weird mechanics that can become broken very easily when used against characters with a more straightforward powerset
English
Lowkey think prep time is a huge factor here. Like if the Union has prep time for Nico to make gadgets, and he knows about viltrumites, they have a decent chance (ignoring the elephant that is Andy)

false and martyn are a duo i desperately need more of in the flight even though they've barely interacted 💔
