@aaaaseee18 @deez20818243 @Lonkstakes @YYohnnyy Yeah, I see this a lot. Any show wherein there’s interstellar travel (like DB, Invincible, etc), they immediately assume the characters must have MFTL combat speed when really all it means is they can accelerate to such speeds given an adequate amount time.

@unknown_th56007 @deez20818243 @Lonkstakes @YYohnnyy mfs be saying all this just to later be confused when they dont go at mach fuck without acceleration

You’d think Mahoraga was a universe buster the way people talk about him

@DarkOfTheMovie They spent three years on the first season. I’m glad that at least now there’s a high probability that I will still be alive when they finish this show.

Invincible discourse is so trite. You wanna know why the animation doesn’t look as quality as some anime’s or even season 1? They probably don’t have enough workers and their deadlines are insane. And even then I think a lot of people just dislike the art style (which is ok).

@ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz Yeah this is exactly what I meant with my upper point. People attempting to powerscale and getting it horribly wrong and then getting mad at the show. I can justify this with physics, I can justify it through plot devices. And your best argument is nuh-uh internet points, lol.

@unknown_th56007 @sleepytimedrawz No, it does not. Hence why everyone is calling out how stupid the consistency in the show does. It being a trope in no way mitigates the horrific disparity in strength that constantly occurs.

never once cared about powerscaling until watching Invincible and having to watch everyone’s strength change drastically based on the scene every 5 minutes

@ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz Like this isn’t even about physics, it’s about the very common trope where someone gets swallowed by a big monster and then kills it from the inside out cause their durability is lower there. And that absolutely justifies whatever disparity you seen to be seeing.

@ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz This is some insane backpedaling. Starting with ‘these punches should explode them’ and then being proven wrong so retorting to ‘uhm actually physics doesn’t matter’ okay bud. We can also dismiss your second point on the same ground.

@ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz Because his punches were being absorbed by the inside tissue when you punch one way and if you go to other way there’s nothing to absorb the tension? Are you being fr?

@unknown_th56007 @sleepytimedrawz He still had to break the outside to come out, whereas until then his punches weren't even causing real visible damage. I don't think an exoskeleton breaks all that more easily from one side or the other.

@deez20818243 @Lonkstakes @YYohnnyy Me when I don’t know the difference between destructive capacity, attack potency and lifting strength.

@Lonkstakes @YYohnnyy I can’t take viltrumite scaling seriously cus they struggle against street tiers in occasion and then blow up the sun the very next episode, I’m going off an average strength level which is roughly “combined lifting the big ship falling onto planet” level most recently

@MugaSofer @ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz It’s not standing up to a viltrumite in any meaningful way. It’s a dumb insect with a though skin. You seriously think capturing and dropping a few of these on Viltrum would be significant? If not then it’s not affecting that said *plot*.

@unknown_th56007 @ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz Which *doesn't make any sense* when the *entire plot* centers around the idea that it's incredibly difficult and rare for anything to stand up to a Viltrumite! How can every random bug's armor be tougher than the Coalition's power armor, or Tech Jacket's?

@Austinhuffine05 @Ish_uwu_ @kirawontmiss Ah my bad with all this hate I thought you meant in a bad way.

@unknown_th56007 @Ish_uwu_ @kirawontmiss That’s what I said

Genuinely how is this enjoyable to watch

@ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz That’s literally not what happened. He was swallowed, then it took several seconds before the monster starting puking which indicates he was being torn apart from the inside out, and only after that omni man could break skin. For most living things insinde = soft, outside = hard.

@unknown_th56007 @sleepytimedrawz Ignoring that he goes from seeming to struggle to being able to fly straight through its body and insta gib it. If he can deliver the force to explode himself out of it, his punches should have been obliterating it.

@Austinhuffine05 @Ish_uwu_ @kirawontmiss Y’all so out of touch with reality. It’s insane they mentioned that in a year especially with how limited the animation budget is and the fact that it’s not made by overworked and underpaid animators.

@Ish_uwu_ @kirawontmiss 1 year to animate 8 hours worth of a show btw

@ThEBaness @bolazeal @GodsgreatG Too bad she got hit by a bazooka

@bolazeal @GodsgreatG Which human only lived for 80yrs my granny lived over 140

I have a genuine question. Many scientists say humans evolved from apes and other primates. So why don’t we see that kind of evolution happening today? Why does it seem like it stopped?

@rookindigo @OfyBurger It’s the difference between attack potency and destructive capacity. You want the energy of your attacks to go in your opponent not the environment. This the same reason why Goku doesn’t destroy the universe or hell let alone the city he fights in everytime there’s a brawl.

@OfyBurger To the flaxans in S1, and even his clash with Immortal being so potent. You'd expect that in a fight with several viltrumites, entire blocks would be leveled with each punch

I think invincible is a perfect example of why I find the whole “I don’t care about power scaling, I just care about writing” mindset to be really misguided. Like, the power system and the logic behind fights/how strong characters are is BAKED into the writing. Not separate.

@ZakiBlacksong @sleepytimedrawz People complaining here about an alien being able to tank Omni-Man punches when said alien didn’t even have an established power level. Just means the alien must be pretty damn strong not that Omni-Man suddenly got weaker.

@unknown_th56007 @sleepytimedrawz There is a massive difference in internal consistency in a single piece of media and powerscalers arguing over X feat upscaling Y character to FTL speeds. The show is not remotely consistent.

@Fenix__Hunter @Nunya83731781 @stupid_yuri_ @dole_jd @hotrod_521 Yeah because there’s totally no other way for strong beings to form unless there planet has strong gravity. This is inherently a retarded argument, what is difficult to percieve about a planet just having strong inhabitants.

@Nunya83731781 @stupid_yuri_ @dole_jd @hotrod_521 If the gravity isn't strong enough to even be mentioned or slow down a viltrumite as weak as Oliver then it's not enough to justify a bug that can keep up with one. And also we see Nolan just no diffing one at the start of the episode

I’m reaching the point where powerscaling is genuinely starting to hurt my enjoyment of the show. #invincible I cannot believe this is the same dude struggling in any way to fight bugs

@DARKB1KE @sleepytimedrawz Just upscales ‘the random’. This is precisely what I meant with not understanding the scaling.

@unknown_th56007 @sleepytimedrawz You're retarded. If they can destroy a city flying through it and then the next scene get beat up by a random, the scaling is off.

@glingleblrg @sleepytimedrawz Yeah you must be quite retarded if you can’t comprehend how I am standing behind my statements here. Literacy is shit these days.

@unknown_th56007 @sleepytimedrawz Spineless retard.

@sleepytimedrawz Agreed. Trying to make statements about the power of characters and then getting mad at that show/authors when they don’t align with that is quite obnoxious. Better to just sit back and enjoy the show.

@unknown_th56007 this is why people don’t like powerscalers

@FlexYayoV2 @chichirokhan @Mr_Trecko @IsOryx @WooperEnjoyer54 There is a physical hell we’ve already established that. There being a physical hell disproves a spiritual one. And no I disagree, you’re just giving characters vulnerabilities they don’t have.

@unknown_th56007 @chichirokhan @Mr_Trecko @IsOryx @WooperEnjoyer54 In the comics they did a crossover with Spawn and there was a physical hell . So that means souls are canon. I’m not religious I don’t believe in souls but it’s common to assume most people include that in their work.

He objectively could but I don’t trust him to

@chichirokhan @FlexYayoV2 @Mr_Trecko @IsOryx @WooperEnjoyer54 What is obvious about that? You think people in real life have souls? It’s a completely unreasonable and unsound assmption. Especially because in the invincible verse it’s explicitly stated that there’s no after life and that hell and Satan are physical places/beings.

@unknown_th56007 @FlexYayoV2 @Mr_Trecko @IsOryx @WooperEnjoyer54 I mean, there are some things so obvious the author assumes the reader can assume without it being mentioned
