He is right. Powerscaling is mostly just dicking around and powerscalers often don't get that the one who wins often isn't the stronger one. Look at all the times powerscalers assume heroes are super strong for beating an end boss they aren't actually supposed to be relative to since the narrative is about defeating the undefeatable.

You should analyze a listing for mental health specialists, because you seem to need one.

Wish nikki is evil though. It is a separate personality that was created that is fully willing to kill randoms.

He isn't her legal guardian and for most of the movie wouldn't have been able to commit her nor would he immediately assume it made sense to. The ending all happens in such quick succession that he wouldn't even have time. So there's no clearly presented path to anything. Also, considering what we know about the magic her posessrf self could potentially pretend to be sane long enough to get out and then still do something unhigned. None of these things are presented as clear and viable solutions.

Who is "we." The average anti doesn't do art, and if they do they are often teens making glorified stick figures. And you know plenty of pros also do other art right? Not to mention that ai hasn't just been prompts in like 5 years.

The thing is, the timeline of the movie is that she acted relatively "normal" for a decent stretch of time shown in a montage, and her going off the deep end happened very shortly before the conclusion. What's more, they took her to a hospital after she self harmed with several witnesses and that was apparently still not deemed enough to detain her...

They do when drawn by frank frazetta.

That's what I said. Just power fantasy combat oriented lowbrow adventure. But one that for whatever reason has fans who don't want to admit it's lowbrow.

Can the feminism be for cats?

bunker_man

Its slop that has obnoxious fans who pretend it's brilliant.

Digging tunnel sounds like crawling dungeon, so probably that one.

If by good you mean like mediocre low effort brainrot then sure. Imagine if battle shounen was made by a sexually frustrated middle aged white guy instead of Asian guy and was marketed at adults but the content was still juvenile.

bunker_man

There are other books? You mean like dcc 2?

bunker_man

Calm down, they probably just put the audio book on while masturbating.

Stuff like this doesn't have an objective answer. Because in actuality these powers aren't canon to eachother.

bunker_man

It doesn't.

He sacrificed himself to create a rock wall. Its a bit odd to call that tanking when it wasn't him as a demon doing it, it was just literal ground. Especially since after he sacrificed himself he was powerless / dead and had to be resurrected. So it's not like he came out of the exchange alive.

And this is for a demon depicted as one of the strongest in that world since it takes the essence of merkabah and lucifer and the people of Tokyo to create a new body for him.

Tbf there's also no evidence that they scale to their Canon versions in later smash games. The setting very much presents them as all loosely comparable.

That's the thing. Nukes are intrinsic to what the series is trying to convey. Japan became non religious very fasy after world War ii because they believed they had divine protection only for the nukes to trivialize their army and then their emperor was forced to admit he wasn't divine. Meaning that the nukes metaphorically killed their gods.

Nukes are treated as superweapons in the game that we have never seen an entity tank directly, but we have seen them tear through even top tiers. And its tied to those same themes. That the gods aren't as strong as people thought and human tech is now a threat to them. That Zeus throwing lightning from a mountain seems more godly to 500bc humans than to ones that have fighter jets is an intentional part of the plot. Demons still have the upper hand, but not by much. And a lot of it is because they can shape-shift to manipulate human governments.

If we are counting the entirety of history, then it's not something that can really be destroyed as such.

But the legacy of the west comes from the unity of Greek philosophy, which paved the way for democracy as a concept, as well as Christian theology which largely did the same (hence why nietzsche was buttmad about it). Anything we would recognizably consider analogous to the current west we live in comes from the Renaissance and age of enlightenment mainly, the trends of which were heavily tied to increasing liberalization and draw on figures who were incipiently calling for it.

bunker_man

Maybe everyone should stop being retarded then.

bunker_man

Not really. Maybe the capitalist right is this. But the conservative right has been pretty clear it's against the advancements made by the west and has some wierd larp about going back to borderline sustenance farming.

The truth is that the core of the west is liberal centrism. And its advancements have all been in that vein. Leftists are aware they deviate from this, but conservatives hate the actual west and fantasize about a version that doesn't really match the values the west was built on.

bunker_man

The issue is that its ironically racist to try to make an inclusive anti racist statement only to exclude Asians. Asians all the time say that western anti racists don't take anti Asian racism seriously, and adding a stripe that clearly doesn't represent them isn't exactly being subtle about conveying what their actual focus is.

Mind you, I like the chevron flag better, so I'll allow it. But it is kind of stupid.

bunker_man

I mean, its mistakes are only an issue for people dumb enough to blindly trust it and who don't know how to correct them. So keep it out of the hands of middle managers and up.

bunker_man

The west would probably try to stay localized enough to make China think its in their interests not to be involved. After all, the west wouldn't need to use their own nukes to flatten russia.
