[LES] “Their weapons have a thousand years of development” is the Sci-Fi equivalent of “They’re a god, you can’t kill them”.
General Grevious (Star Wars) vs Adam Smasher (Cyberpunk 2077/Edgerunners) has been making the rounds here on Reddit, which is the only fight where both sides are actually quite evenly matched and could go either way *(not to mention themes and such)*.
Of course on a few subreddits, there’s *those* Star Wars fans who thinks Han Solo has boundless speed and Stormtroopers have grenades that could crack planets in half.
But one of the comments said Big G beats Smasher because “He has access to untold millions of weapon developments” or something similar to that.
Behold the most nothingburger statement of all time. This statement would only matter if it was the only info we had on something, which isn’t the case for General Grevious. And while this statement would be quite scary in real world, in fiction this usually means that guys have laser guns instead of normal guns.
It’s like how a few years ago a character would automatically win because they were considered a god even though you could kill them with drunk driving with the feats they would have.
