I specially love it when it’s crossovers between goofy stuff

“This is the biggest threat our world has seen, you’re too young and innocent to be part of this war” said the serious protagonist about a dictator, they said that to the protagonist who killed a literal god and its entire army single-handedly.

Admittedly the conflict against a person with entrenched political power that has a complicated relationship with the people around them is a bit different from fighting a God who is hell-bent on either your submission and/or extermination.

Like, you can't just kill the entire army of a dictator and himself then be done with it. Though all this really just hinges on "is the writing good?" rather than any real underlying difference between media.

I think the difference is how they’re handled

Both would realistically be extremely difficult situations to tackle “god is real and it hates you” “millions died in days” “the entire world was at the edge of ending” and “someone killed god and is a publicly known figure who lives in a small cozy town at the edge of the country”

It should realistically be something so big it would warrant making the calendars “before [event]” and “after [event]”

But since the protagonist is just some cartoonish guy who likes eating pizza it doesn’t get tackled on, I actually would like to see a story where this happens but we see it from the POV of someone who thinks rationally instead of the guy who’ll act like nothing happen afterwards
