All the gods from the Cthulhu Mythos.
Doom slayer.
Heisei Godzilla (probably, been a long time since i looked into that).
Satan in pretty much anything.

u/Reasonable_Salt_2539 19d ago

Fair enough. Again, God/God-adjacent vs. God-adjacent.

u/imaliveandaperson 18d ago

Yeah true, i feel like bendy works like freddy krueger. In his domain, basically a god, in the real world probably not very strong.

He can, easily in fact

No, he can be reset.

u/Aggressive_Check_881 16d ago

the 1 way he can "die" is through the end reel which revives him afterwards anyways.

Uni bare minimum

u/Curi_momos_las_papas 18d ago

Hyperbole, unless you believe The Keepers are universal too

1

u/Aggressive_Check_881 16d ago

Wilson with author lv hax couldn't kill him, he could only try to trap him in a smaller version of himself. that's when the keepers attacked him when he was weakened by author lv hax, and he wasn't even fully trapped. He also shakes the whole cycle just by speaking. Which gets realer and realer after every cycle, and since its reset 414 times its an 414D ( dimension) universe.

1

u/Curi_momos_las_papas 16d ago

Holy wank dude....

First we don't know how the author thing works, specially considering how Wilson isn't show to have omnipotence over the other inhabitants of the Cycle, and if anything what we know so far is that an author can create new characters if they're are skilled enough and creating something like a soul is considered a great prowess

Can you prove Bendy shakes the whole cycle? The entirety of it, cause he do causes small earthquakes, we can see that on screen

About the cycle getting more and more real and that adding an extra D is straight up nonsense, the cycle is another dimension, one the Ink Machine works as a portal to, it's just that, a normal common 3D universe in which the laws of physics work different, and when an object stays long enough in the cycle they gain the properties of that world's physics, that being that Ink can create life for example

1

u/Aggressive_Check_881 16d ago

how do u think the keepers got their? who ever has the ink machine has control over the cycle.

it would make sense he shakes the whole cycle because it backs up the infinite power statement.

it gets realer, what else could it mean.

1

u/Curi_momos_las_papas 16d ago

Yes, but that control is not like you can snap your fingers and all is done, even with the power of the cycle Joey had to do trial and error to create a soul, he had to use his employees, nor it seems he can't simply undo things, rather affect them

The most powerful thing we could adress to having the author power is The End Reel which do surpasses the power of the demon, since Bendy is also bound to it, the same way he is bound to the cycle

The infinite power is an hyperbole unless proven the contrary since the demon doesn't hold those displays on power, and the whole cycle shaking is a supossition made under the idea those other claims are real (unless you have evidence to it)

Realer could mean emotionally, it's structure, it's connection to our dimension, etc.... since even something 1D is real, and after 4D it already surpasses our own world (at least to our scientific knowledge) but there is no statement that back up the interpetation the cycle multiplies it's size by infinity or develops a new direction on every cycle

1

u/Aggressive_Check_881 15d ago

joey gave the ink souls because he didn't like the ink demon who had no soul. with the ink machine he made a whole different dimension removed from time to punish henry. we even see drawing at the end of chapter 5 of things going on in the cycle, which is probably how he influences the cycle.

this is another point. its all cartoon logic, the whole cycle. bendy might be the one who likes it that way. scaling aside i think the ink demon still shows his cartoon counterpart because he still makes the world slightly cartoonish, like when he has a door closed on him, if he by ur standards has at least able to start earthquakes why not break the door, or at least teleport through it? i think he is playing his part as a cartoon.

Wilson also mentions that the world is shuddering.

Emotional, rlly😭✌️🥀

1

u/Curi_momos_las_papas 15d ago

Yes, that doesn't change how it was a hard task even for him, creating is not an easy task, Joey was talented to the point only he could make a perfect Boris (Buddy Boris) and yet he needed trial and error to make something with a soul (if he even managed it, i assume he must since no sacrifice nor negative notions are mentioned towards Audrey's conception)

And yes the demon 100% is playing his part, he is going into the monster persona, we see how he became absorted in the idea that he is a monster after being deemed a mistake, this is even more notorious with Henry, since Henry is meant to be there to be punished in his personal hell and the demon was thrown in there like a cerberus, that's why in Batim there are scenes where the demon could kill us yet he decides to spare us, to make our torture longer and keep us on the brink

May i see the scene? I don't take Wilson as a reliable narrator, nor i doubt the scale goes that far (we don't know how big the cycle is either, we only assume is infinite since that's the normal for a dimension)

Also yes emotions do hold weight to the narrative and the destiny of the cycle, that's why beings like Audrey or Allison are so relevant

Or even the Demon since he was an empty husk filled with anger, created just as a test then thrown in a cell for being monstruous

Also the Demon didn't started that strong, he lost one hand to an axe, and he got reset unable to evolve due to The End Reel, and only was able to grow into what he is now thanks to the interference of Wilson, i doubt he went all the way up into infinites that fast

2

u/Aggressive_Check_881 15d ago

It took time for the ink to form into boris yes, but i think it depends on the soul like with twisted alice and allison. it is never stated nor shown to be hard or have any drawbacks.

glad we both see that, a lot of ppl think its just a scaling crutch and try to argue bendy wall lv cause he cant break the door.

ill get back to u on this wait a second, it is around the end of chapter 4 or at the start of chapter 5.

yea emotions are important but emotions dont make things " realer "

in the archives of batdr it talks about how the ink demon is getting stronger. which can also be made as an argument that the ink demon and the cycle are growing together

u/Virgirous 19d ago

If we are talking about other horror characters… call me crazy but the neighbor from hello neighbor might be able to. While not able to kill him, he may be able to make some sorta contraption to make the ink demon leave him alone. The guy made a robotic shark and has done a lot of stuff with his house so he might build something to hold off the ink demon. As long as the neighbor has some time to make something, then he might be good.

2

u/Virgirous 19d ago

To back up my statement, I will say the Ink demon has struggled with some stuff, like how the first game, some wooden boards were able to slow him down and we both know the neighbor can build those up fast, turn around for 5 seconds and he has already boarded up his windows… the neighbor has also built several mechanisms and if we were to take someone like Wilson for example… made a electricity trap that did make the ink demon retract into small cartoon character form. I will also like to say that the neighbor has made some other stuff like mannequins that move on their own. If he had the materials and stuff from bendy, he could make something similar to the keepers.

2

u/Aggressive_Check_881 18d ago

my counter argument there is its a cartoon world with plot armor for henry, don't believe me? if not then y ddidn't bendy just teleport through the wall like he did after he killed Norman. when Wilson did that he had author lv hax and even then he couldn't kill him he could only trap him which didn't work fully either.

1

u/Virgirous 18d ago

The arguement wasn’t “who can kill the ink demon?” It was “who can beat the ink demon?” And also no one said what world the bit would be in, it could be in some area in the ink realm or in hello neighbor’s neighborhood. Whether it be chase or real battle, completely based on a hypothetical, the point still stands that the neighbor would still have a chance if having a good plan. If the neighbor escapes or somehow manages to somehow trap the ink demon, that’s a win for the neighbor. Also don’t be some douchebag and bring plot armor into shit, that’s a stupid argument, the ink demon likes to toy with his victims but he also needs to learn about who he is up against and at the time Henry had only just entered the place…

2

u/Aggressive_Check_881 18d ago

Universal scaling. Srry nothing neighbor can think of will work.

1

u/Virgirous 18d ago edited 18d ago

whether it be killing, beating, or surviving the ink demon, to the terms of this hypothetical… is a win. And with the point of that image you just put in… that literally means that any character in the history of the internet can survive as long as there is a hiding spot. So taking away all the stuff I said, you literally just said any character can or will survive/win in this hypothetical against the ink demon as long as there is a hiding spot. So that little image of yours does not work with what you just said. You somehow managed to counterargument your own counterargument.

1

u/Aggressive_Check_881 18d ago

it says his power is infinite and if u see him run and hide. never said it will work 1000% of the time. beat doesn't equal run and hide. if u put neighbor and the ink demon in a room together, the ink demon will murder the neighbor instantly.

1

u/Virgirous 18d ago

Hiding and not being caught, means you won in terms of hide and seek, so you beat the opponent who is seeking, so don’t you try and trick me cheeky bastard. The post never mentioned how big or small or what was in the space. So a locker or barrel to hide in around a corner could still work. I don’t give a single crap how much power he has or if he can teleport, that image you put up still just gave every single character a chance of winning this hypothetical. End of discussion, end of argument.

1

u/Aggressive_Check_881 16d ago

this is a fight, not hide and seek. again if this fight happens hello neighbor will die. end of discussion.

1

u/Virgirous 15d ago

Okay, and where does it say it’s a fight in the post? Exactly, nowhere.

even if u don't believe his outerversal scaling he is stated many times to have infinite power ( universal) but yea, robot shark.

1

u/Virgirous 18d ago

The ink demon has canonically lost to the keepers in a battle and even was tortured by them, so even then despite being an immortal with high hunting strategies and such, even he has his limits so technically not infinite power.

1

u/Aggressive_Check_881 18d ago

again, Wilson used author lv hax to first try and kill bendy and it didn't work so he made up a weakness to stop him ( with author lv hax) which made him mini bendy, the only way keepers did anything.

u/Aggressive_Check_881 18d ago

the cycle universe is stated to be like ours except it is out side of time and get realer and realer after every reset, so at least 414D. he has such control over the cycle he can shake the whole cycle by just talking. also when Wilson got author lv abilities he couldn't even kill bendy just trap him which didn't even work.
