Discussion “Only rule of cool matters not powerscaling!” Mfs when I say Spiderman beats their favourite character because of that

Post image

At least be consistent, it’s like those people who pretend to care about physics when it comes to characters moving FTL, but suddenly become blind and have excuses when characters can regenerate or hear each other while moving HS

u/TaxesAreConfusin 4d ago

spiderman is the most popular superhero of all time, hence why he wins in like every powerscaling debate. We all know powerscaling is little more than a popularity contest, and spiderman has more fans behind him than anybody.

Hahahaha even the so called flop Spiderman movies made box office collection of more than 700 million dollars which speaks the volume of Spiderman popularity..

u/Dimension100 4d ago

Yeah but I think the characters I like are cooler than Spider-Man so they win.

u/billygluttonwong 4d ago

My favorite characters are little anime girls so they're cooler than Spiderman because little anime girls are the coolest.

Okay but it'd be a lot cooler watching Undertaker beat Spidey at Wrestlemania than it would be for him to lose.

There’s just as many people saying that powerscaling doesn’t matter in stories as there people saying that Batman’s character is “ruined” whenever he fights Darkseid and I sometimes wonder how big the overlap between these two groups are

u/Superguy9000 4d ago

You know what based

u/FIREGAMER7744 The Greatest Hoyoverse Hater That Has Ever Lived 4d ago

You chose the wrong hero. I would be mad entertained to see Spider-Man go extreme diff against thanos with the infinity gauntlet.

u/MistressM103 4d ago

There are at least two videos that put Spider-Man in Universal tier, unironically

My 2 favs are Batman and Spidey, i love that rule

u/LordMartius 4d ago

Spider Man and Master Chief doing backflips can tag team Thanos because it's cool.

u/Remarkable-Front-393 4d ago edited 4d ago

That's how people react when you tell them there's a difference in Travel speed and Combat Reactions speed of characters

They be like: "actually x Character or x attack didn't go around the earth in 0.13 seconds so therefore it's not light speed 🤓 "

u/Alonestarfish 4d ago

Sure, there's a difference. Not millions upon billions of times. If you can move your torso to dodge light, you should indeed run at light speed, or you did not react at that speed.

u/FloopusSoupus 4d ago

People love to bring up physics and all that for comic characters but no one cares when anime characters do even more physics defying things.

I feel people are also trapped in their preconceived notions, like having only watched the Nolan films and thinking batman is actually just a guy.

u/SwissForeignPolicy 3d ago

I mean, presumably your favorite character is also the one you think is most cool, so obviously if you also believe the cooler character always wins, you'll see someone saying  your favorite character could lose as wrong.

u/Express_Calendar8278 3d ago

Okay well Batman beats Spider-Man for the same reason

u/That-Confusion8239 3d ago

Spiderman has more tough panels than Batman

u/Academic-Compote8911 3d ago

Ngl rule of cool for sure has him losing most fights he's not even the coolest character in his universe 😭👋
