In your personal opinion, who had the better relationship/cared more for their raptors?

In my opinion, it’s fairly obvious the handler‘s relationship with her atrociraptors was a good amount better than Owen’s relationship with his velociraptors. I think the biggest evidence for this opinion was their reactions to the death of their raptors (that did die). For Owen, he simply paused for a bit in reaction to delta and charlie’s death. I suppose it’s understandable for the former, considering the fact that his life was still in immediate danger, but (iirc), it wasn’t the case for Charlie. He didn’t react at all to echo’s death. It seemed his relationship was mostly with blue, which, while deep, was pretty strained.

However, the handler, stayed at ghost’s side while she died, and showed visible sadness at said death. Not only that, but in season one, when ghost showed exhaustion, she immediately called the raptors back to her to quit fighting. Not to mention her going out of her way to retrieve red. And among all this, she was shown multiple times to be physically affectionate with her raptors. Owen‘s pack always seemed somewhat aggressive, even around him, something the handler’s raptors never were around her. At the end of the day, this isn’t a problem, because they’re still animals, but this is about their relationship with their alphas.

In your opinion, which is the more popular fight/matchup?

T-Rex vs Spinosaurus or T-Rex vs raptors? Imo, I’d say the jp3 fight has sparked overall more controversy, but jp is by FAR the more iconic movie and the ending is a very iconic ending as well. I’d say both are very popular in their own ways.

Anything on Godzilla minus zero?

I’m mainly wondering a few things:

- Does Godzilla die?

- Is ghidorah an alien? If not, how is he created?

- Do either ghidorah or Godzilla get any new abilities?

- How many times do they fight, and who wins in the finale?

- Why is Godzilla in New York?

Do Vegito and Gogeta consider themselves separate people?

Or do they think of each other as the exact same person born of different methods? This question has always bothered me. I always assumed they each had a separate consciousness, just born of the same two people. But now I’m not sure.

I hate how people always discredit silver’s feats because he uses his psychokinesis

(Image mostly unrelated)

The amount of times i’ve seen people say “Well, without his powers…” or “That was with his powers, so…” is genuinely insane. You DO realize how stupid that sounds, right? It’s like if you take away Sonic’s speed and say he can’t beat shadow in a race. Yeah, no shit. Why would you take away a character’s MAIN ABILITY for literally no reason?

And the funniest part is that silver isn’t weak without his psychokinesis. Like, no? In rivals, he can straight up beat Sonic and Shadow in foot races during his and silver’s story. Granted, it is the opposite in their stories, but still, thought I’d bring it up. He still smokes most characters without his psychokinesis. Not that it matters, since he’ll never be without his psychokinesis, and should never be counted without it.

So, out of these three, who’s the most powerful gear?

Sol’s bested justice in battle before, so that at least puts him above her. But what about dizzy? I kinda just assumed sol would be stronger due to being the flame of corruption, but besides that, i don’t have much other reason for believing he’s stronger than her, it’s mostly vibes. So, I could be wrong and dizzy could be stronger. Is she? Whoever is stronger, by how much are they?

Also, in case it wasn’t obvious, I’m referring to sol from when he still was the flame of corruption.

Can sol still use dragon install?

So, I know that near the end of strive, that man removed the flame of corruption from sol, essentially turning him human once more (iirc, please correct me if I’m wrong), and by extension, removing his gear abilities, including dragon install. This especially seems to be the case since it’s no longer apart of sol’s moveset.

However, heavy mob cemetery still has him go dragon install. So this got me wondering. Is it possible that some of his gear abilities still linger in him, just massively weakened? Or is it purely gameplay reasons? Because I could just be overthinking this and just flat confused.

In canon, how do sin and unika compare to currently compare to ky In power?

This post was originally gonna be the same question with just sin, but I rewatched dual rulers and was reminded of how sin and unika were equals, so i decided to just go on ahead and include her.

Anyways, how do sin and unika compare to ky in power? Is there a gap? If so, how big? And are they, probably unlikely, stronger than him? If this is the case, then by how much? Sorry if this question has an obvious answer, I was just really curious.

Amy is NOT stronger than silver…

…And i REALLY hate that this has to be said. Apparently, some people think that due to Amy mostly lifting the super badnik hammer when silver helped her with it, it means Amy > Silver lifting strength with psychokinesis. Which just isn’t true.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Amy doing most of the lifting here doesn’t mean she’s stronger than silver. Firstly, she simply asked silver for a boost, not to full on lift it alongside her. Of course she’d do most of the lifting. Secondly, silver isn’t surprised because she out lifted his psychokinesis, he’s surprised because he didn’t expect her to be THAT strong because, yeah, Amy is fucking strong.

For my second point as to why Amy quite literally is objectively weaker than silver is that silver literally lifted the super badnik’s hammer alone before he helped her. It was trying to crush Sonic, silver stopped it from doing so, took the hammer from it, then dropped the hammer. Plus, look at silver and amy’s expression’s while and after lifting the hammer. Amy was putting in max effort and was extremely exhausted afterwards, yet silver did it casually. And she had help mind you.

Also, silver just has so much better feats than lifting a fucking hammer 😭 Even in his generations boss fight, the shit he was lifting there is probably the best lifting feats of any base character (may be exaggerating).

Fr tho, stop underestimating silver. Let’s not forget that he is one of the three hedgehogs who put belt to Solaris’ ass. Amy is strong, but she’s not stronger than silver or knuckles.

I can not stress enough how fucking GOATED silver was during the metal virus

And overall, but that’s not the point. I’m a firm believer that the metal virus was the absolute PEAK of everyone’s characterization in idw. Especially the characterization of silver. Let’s begin by saying victory would have been literally IMPOSSIBLE without silver. Had he not shown up, everything and everyone would have gone to shit. And his first appearance proves that. Sonic was about to get overwhelmed by Zombot shadow and the entire hoard of zombots surrounding him UNTIL silver showed up, lifted all the zombots surrounding Sonic, and cleared an entire path for him to escape.

And that’s not where the goat activities end. Unlike PLENTY of other characters, silver had a direct encounter the zombots and came out with only some injuries. Compare that to shadow’s performance, and you’ll find it a lot more impressive than it sounds. Silver fought off zombots for a time, evidenced by his injuries, and was still able to escape.

And that STILL isn’t where it ends. He played a massive role in retrieving one of chaos emeralds that would stop the virus entirely. Without him, whisper never would have gotten her opening to shoot the emerald off zor. Plus, he got that sick-ass “TESTICULAR TORSION” panel and aura farmed while crushing zor’s robot thing.

And then, he was directly involved in getting the last emerald off zavok along with sonic and metal. He, quite literally, carried the emeralds they already collected in preparation for Sonic to go super once they got the last. Hell, he even saved them from being crushed by zavok. And when everything seemed to be at its most grim, metal neutralized, Sonic literal seconds from turning into a zombot, and the last chaos emeralds just out of his grasp, silver comes in clutch yet AGAIN.

He grabs the last emerald, and, with all seven in his possession, turns both himself AND Sonic super, curing Sonic and saving him from getting killed by zavok. And would you believe that silver’s MVP activities still don’t end? No, no, no, going super was just the beginning.

With his psychokinesis, while Sonic flies them around the plane, silver then begins to remove the metal virus from EVERYONE. Literally everyone. Silver quite literally cured every single character that was infected with the virus, all while him and Sonic were keeping the warp topaz under control, albeit barely.

To end this off, silver is the undisputed MVP and GOAT of the metal virus saga. Nobody’s contributions BUT Sonic’s come close to what he did during this saga. Not to say that the other characters weren’t important, as they absolutely were, but they quite literally would have lost had silver not been there. He is the hedgehog that changed the future.

Is this THE one punch man top 5, or is there anything that should be changed?

In order of power:

  • Saitama
  • God
  • Cosmic fear mode Garou
  • Lord Boros
  • Blast (Possibly interchangeable with Boros depending on what you believe)

Besides these guys, i can’t really see anyone else having solid arguments for top 5. But that is just my opinion.

In your opinion, who wins between these two gojira killers?

Mechagodzilla vs. M.U.T.O Prime. In all honesty, i think it comes down to who you think is weaker: 2014 Godzilla or post Hong Kong fight Godzilla. I’d personally go with 2014 goji, as the one Mecha-G fought is STILL just an overall larger and evolved version of the one prime fought.

To put it more, simply believe that 2021 goji at his weakest > 2014 goji at his weakest due to naturally having a stronger body. Even exhausted, he doesn’t automatically get weaker. He just can’t exert said strength as well. And by this, I mean physically. His atomic breath gets weaker, but that’s due to a drainage of his radiation.

So basically, post muto fight 2014 goji ~ prime, and post hong kong fight goji < mecha-g, and finally, post MUTO fight 2014 goji < post Hong Kong fight goji. That’s my opinion on it anyway. I’m curious on the rest of the sub’s.

I absolutely HATE the sexualization of children in fiction and the excuses people make to do it

Simple premise. I hate when people sexualize fictional children and make excuses as to why they do so, like it makes it any less weird. I’ll be using misty and Gwen as examples as i see the excuse I’m about to bring up applied to these two a LOT.

Anyway, I’m sure most of the people know there is PLENTY of sexual art of these two art there, and many people who thirst over them. However, I, and a lot of other people as well, find this EXTREMELY weird. Sure, they’re fictional. Sure they’re just pixels. But they are still very purposefully drawn and animated to look like children. Even if someone didn’t know their actual age, it’d be pretty easy to guess simply by looking at them. So, in my mind, it makes drawing sexual art of them and be attracted to them weird, if not disgusting, considering how they’re canonically children.

HOWEVER. The excuse that many people make when this is brought to their attention is that many of the people who draw sexual art and or thirst over them grew up with them, and in turn, age them up in their mind. There is more than than a few problems with this excuse. Firstly, what’s in your mind doesn’t really matter. Canonically, they’re still children. They still look like children. What you think doesn’t change that. Secondly, most of the sexual art of them doesn’t even age them up, and the ones that do is the most bare bones shit. Just slapping breasts onto them or deadass just saying “they’re aged up!” when they look exactly the same.

And it’s not just gwen and misty either. There are plenty of other characters that have the same problem. Like a ton of Pokemon characters, even ones more recently created.

Even worse, most of these characters have canon adult designs that most people just refuse to ignore, like Gwen for example. I don’t know if it’s the same for misty though, as I’m a more casual fan of Pokemon.

Now, I’m not saying being attracted to fictional children makes you an irl child predator. Do i think it’s weird and debatably disgusting? Yes. Would I want to associate with people who are? No. But as long as any real children aren’t harmed, I can’t just pass out allegations like that. At the end of the day, this is just my opinion on a behavior that I find very weird.

Fun Fact: Infinite actually has an AMAZING track record

Infinite has a total of 8 fights in Sonic forces, and he wins 6 of them. Let me explain.

Fight #1: Infinite vs Sonic Round 1: This is a pretty clear cut. One of infinite’s most infamous moments is the absolute ass beating he gave sonic in the beginning of forces. In Sonic’s defense, he was unprepared. He had no idea who infinite was nor what his abilities were. But a win is a win.

Fight #2: Infinite vs Silver: A sadly embarrassing showing for my favorite hedgehog. Silver tries his best, but is ultimately defeated. Somethings that are interesting to note is that one, silver is debatably superior to beginning of forces sonic due to landing a hit on infinite while Sonic could not, and two, silver’s one hit on infinite technically saved the entire planet. But imma chill with the silver glaze.

Fight #3: Infinite vs Sonic Round 2: Contrary to popular belief, Infinite actually won this fight. He deduced that Sonic had gotten stronger (sitting on your ass for six months do give that power boost), but also proved himself superior to the point where he (stupidly) believed that killing Sonic was beneath him.

Fight #4: Infinite vs Gadget: Again, contrary to popular belief, infinite won this fight. The only reason that gadget even lasted as long as he did was because infinite MADLY underestimated him. He ended the fight by casually blasting gadget away, similar to how he did Sonic in round 2.

Fight #5: Infinite vs Shadow round 2: During episode shadow, infinite and shadow encounter and (seemingly) briefly fight. By doing this, infinite deduces that not even Sonic can oppose him now, seemingly considering him a more worthy opponent compared to shadow.

Fight #6: Infinite vs Operation big wave: “Our big wave has washed out!”

Bonus Fight: During the final battle, infinite easily grounds all of the resistance with a single blast. However, this doesn’t really count as a fight, so I’ll just leave this here.

Now, let’s get into the fights he LOSES.

Shadow vs Infinite: His most infamous moment and loss. Please note that infinite was damn near a normal guy compared to shadow. Pre-phantom ruby infinite vs lanolin is a genuinely debatable matchup.

Sonic and Gadget vs Infinite: His final fight of forces. Please note that not only is the phantom ruby drained from spawning the fucking sun, he is getting jumped by two extremely powerful fighters in their own right. It’s not a fair fight in all honesty.

To end this off, this doesn’t necessarily make infinite not a fraud. He still has shortcomings that he himself has claimed to be above, with it obviously not being true. However, he’s still a very powerful character. At full strength, he puts bta on base character, save for maybe frontiers Sonic. Respect the ultimate mercenary.

Would suiko do as well as suiryu is (currently) doing against garou if she were to fight him?

A pretty simply question. Suiryu is doing pretty well against garou in their spar. If suiko was in his position, would she do as well? Better? Worse? Give a reason for your answer.

u/SinisterScaler — 2 months ago

If these two were to fight at full strength, who would win?

I’m pretty sure suiko has stated she’s stronger before (i could be misremembering), but I’m more so wondering based on feats. If these siblings were to fight, who‘d win and at what difficulty?

A misconception i REALLY hate about the silver vs shadow fight in sonic 06

It was not an “easy” win for shadow, if a win at all. No, he wasn’t holding back. No, he doesn’t completely eclipse silver in power in 06. Let me explain.

Firstly, I don’t know where the shadow holding back misconception came from. I’ve seen so many people say this despite shadow EXPLICITLY stating otherwise. He quite literally verbatim says he’s not going to hold back before the fight even starts.

Secondly, it was not easy at all. Both were exhausted, panting, and out of breath when the fight ended. Shadow was only able to kick silver due to catching him off guard with chaos control. Not to say the kick wasn’t funny, because it definitely was. But anyway, after this, silver gets right back up and matches shadow’s chaos control with his own.

So, it really depends on when you think the fight ended. If you think the fight ended after shadow’s kick, shadow won. If you think the fight ended after the dual chaos control, then it’s a stalemate. I personally believe the latter, as both were still attempting to attack. Either way, the fight wasn’t easy at all. If shadow won, it was high-diff. And it’s closer to a tie anyway.

Who is the strongest invincible variant?

Now, it doesn't HAVE to be one of these guys, but these are the only ones i really think are eligible for the title. For omni-mark (not the rest), this is going by the show, because he's pretty unimpressive in the comics. In the show, he, at least, fought mark, even if he was eventually overpowered. But he also did survive, so there‘s that.

my opinion, the title goes to either prisoner mark or sinister. Apparently, there's a statement about prisoner mark being the strongest, if this is true, it's pretty clear cut. However, i think that sinister's arguments for being the strongest are pretty solid, statement aside. He was strong enough to the point of Mohawk mark not being confident in fighting him until main mark showed up, and was stated to be stronger than main mark at the point of his death.

Now, one must take into consideration that sinister said this himself. It's plausible that this just flat out isn't true, especially considering his mental state. However, there's also writers intent. Sinister wasn't beaten by main nor mohawk mark alone (ish). HOWEVER. There is a problem. Despite it technically not being done alone (sinister was off guard due to being focused on main mark), Mohawk mark killed sinister in three hits. This is NOT a great showing, unless you think Mohawk mark = main mark.

So, my final take is that going by statements, it's between prisoner mark and sinister. Going by narrative, it's sinister. Going by feats, it's Mohawk mark.

As a bonus, viltrum mark is probably pretty up there in power since he was one of the last surviving marks, and as a bonus question, how does the strongest variant, in your opinion, compare to mark?

Edit: I’ve also heard that all the variants had to jump prisoner mark, but again, I have no idea how true it is. And if it is, again, it’s pretty clear cut who the strongest is.

Is gipsy avenger stronger than its predecessor, gipsy danger?

Now, I know uprising is TERRIBLY received by fans, including me, but one thing I do personally like about it are the designs of the jaegers. I do wish they weren’t so slim and actually looked as strong as they supposedly are, but that is beside the point. However, one thing I always wondered about them is how they compare in strength to their predecessors, specifically gipsy avenger in comparison to gipsy danger.

So, I’m here to ask. Who is stronger? Who is faster? Who is more durable? Who has the better weapons? Who has the better feats? And overall, who is the better and more powerful jaeger, personal preference aside?
