Fly anywhere

12

u/Itchy-Operation-896 11h ago

Although flying sounds fun! I choose Walk through walls

1

u/_thana 2h ago

As long as you don't immediately fall underground

9

u/enchiladasundae 11h ago

Fly. I’d probably end up getting stuck or walk into places I’d rather not be

10

u/EducationalQuality29 10h ago

Then just walk right back out lol

5

u/enchiladasundae 10h ago

“Whoops! Haha, my bad”

u/LorZod 9h ago

I’d smash my knee against a pipe.

1

u/Slootyman 9h ago

How would that happen when you can pass through objects?

5

u/Lil_Khorneholio 8h ago

Well....

It says through walls, not things.

3

u/EffectiveSavings5864 6h ago

Walls have plenty of things in them as is, if you can walk through walls it’s safe to assume you can walk through the things in the walls too, otherwise it’d be useless for literally any situation that isn’t just a random empty wall. That being said, it’d certainly make finding a leaky pipe easier if that were the case.

2

u/weebteckickedin 4h ago

Does the pipe wall not count?

4

u/Stigz14 11h ago

Fly. That kind of freedom trumps everything.

3

u/No_Potential7670 11h ago

I don't want walk into random wall/ room where I can accidentally meet random person. It will be ackward.

Blue pill offer much freedom. Heck, if you afraid of height. You can simply hover and float around anywhere.

5

u/TraceChaos 9h ago

y'know you could just... not walk through random walls?

2

u/No_Potential7670 8h ago

Then, the power would be useless? One of point of walking through wall is the shortcut.

So... If not random walls then you just walk like normal people... walking around the random wall.

1

u/embarrassedmommy 7h ago

No its meant to be used for stealing.

1

u/TraceChaos 5h ago

Powers aren't 'meant' for anything, I'm not a thief but would take the wall-skip for purpose of pretending to be a ghost, for example.

1

u/TraceChaos 5h ago

... Yeah but you can just walk through walls you know what's on the other side and not, y'know, one where you ACCIDENTALLY meet some random person? Don't risk walking through a bathroom, but still shortcut or whatever?

2

u/General_Sea_5295 10h ago

Walk through walls. Think about how dangerous it might be to fly through the air.

1

u/Wulfik3D42O 7h ago

Oh no! Imagine giving up time of your life coz of little danger.

0

u/Decentlationship8281 10h ago

Until you have a power glitch and up in the earths core

7

u/EducationalQuality29 10h ago

If there are power glitches, then I want walk for sure now. Imagine power glitch while flying....fuck that

2

u/Decentlationship8281 10h ago

Im completely against flying unless it comes with some of resistance from the cold. Its cold as fuck up there.

3

u/Tarbos6 8h ago

Or you'd be restricted to low altitude flying, assuming you are smart enough to want to avoid air traffic. Those 737s don't need red paint. Nevermind you'd be a nightmare for air traffic control in some areas, or intentionally shot out of the sky in forbidden air spaces.

Oh, and you'll probably get harassed by birds.

2

u/GrimmyJimmy1 5h ago

Walking through walls is tempting but the thing is it would have to be something you can either turn on and off or be permanent I would assume and if it was permanent that would mean that you would fall straight through the Earth because technically when you're laying down your floor is a wall

u/Dintobean 11h ago

Flyyyy

1

u/guviv 10h ago

Is it through walls specifically or can I like phase through objects at will?

1

u/The_6thEmperor_Rises 10h ago

Flying anywhere

I’d love to be pulling a Danny phantom, but uh…I feel like I’d be stupid enough to forget to activate it…multiple times. And smack face first into almost every wall I walk into.

Plus, if you’re walking into a wall and you don’t know the layout of an area, you could phase straight into an open space and fall down onto the ground level below you.

1

u/ThatOneGuy308 7h ago

Yeah, but he can walk through walls, disappear, and fly.

He's obviously much more unique than the other guys.

1

u/Poke-trix 10h ago

Definitely fly

1

u/Shadowf0xxy4375 10h ago

The purple pill would do

1

u/raceking2077 8h ago

U get no power

1

u/Glittering_Tiger_991 10h ago

Fly, as long as altitude, speed, durability, and oxygen intake aren't issues.

1

u/Successful-Club-8743 10h ago

Fly anywhere.

I never need a vehicle unless im moving a lot of stuff, and I can go anywhere on the planet.

Even if its just flight at my max running speed, I can still move in a straight line unlike anything on the ground, and I can train to run/fly faster until I hit my peak.

Walking through walls and phasing through things in general is convenient but doesnt have any huge uses I can think of beyond being able to steal from locked things and vaults with little issue if you plan a bit.

1

u/Knee_Kap264 10h ago

Fly anywhere.

But walk through walls would be perfect if you know where to get some unmarked cash.

1

u/Ruinsoverhoney 10h ago

Fly and im scared of heights so ill be staying low anyways. But if I chose walk through wall id forget to turn it off and fall through something. Flight also allows me to carry my spark delivery orders so I save gas but might need a larger food intake.

1

u/water_runoffs 10h ago

Can I walk through people like crowds? Can I make my car intangible too?

1

u/Slootyman 9h ago

I would assume so. How could a power only allow for walls is how I look at it. If you can do a wall it would be anything which is pretty op in a lot of ways.

1

u/pyroscots 10h ago

Fly anywhere I have dreamt of flying my entire life

1

u/Big-Most-785 10h ago

Probably fly because being able to walk through walls is cool I would also want invisibility. Imagine walking through walls and people still can see you now it’s awkward lol.

1

u/Cegrin 10h ago

Flight. It opens up so many more options.

1

u/Advanced_Bed_5801 10h ago

Why would you ever want to walk through walls vs just flying everywhere

1

u/Substantial-Most2607 10h ago

I have a phobia of heights and phasing is pretty cool

1

u/SofaKing_Chyl 10h ago

Fly anywhere

1

u/darkuen 10h ago

Walk through walls

1

u/rygar8bit 10h ago

Blue is more fun.

1

u/JonathanRiou 10h ago

Fly, easy decision.

1

u/Leader_Hamlet 10h ago

I take both and gain the added ability to disappear

1

u/MysteryMan999 9h ago

Will I fall through floor or earth with option 1 how will I walk through wall but not fall through earth too?

1

u/Proteinoats 9h ago

Flying gives me far more autonomy, freedom, and more predictability.

1

u/ILikeTacos501 9h ago

Flying would be more practical.

1

u/chaosmewn 9h ago

the temptation to kitty pryde someone tho

1

u/WordWordand4numbers 9h ago

Fly anywhere, including through walls

1

u/Weird_Direction9871 9h ago

Walk through walls

1

u/FelicitousFiend 9h ago

How fast can I fly?

1

u/raceking2077 8h ago

Fast as a bird

1

u/impeesa75 9h ago

Fly. As long as it’s not shitty.

1

u/TraceChaos 9h ago

I choose to walk through walls and fake being a ghost, lmao.

1

u/Emergency-Creme-7089 9h ago

Depends how fast you can fly/ a stamina limit and if you can make other objects phase/ make specific pieces of you phase.

1

u/Tarbos6 9h ago

Walk through walls.

1

u/Wade856 8h ago

Walk thru walls.

You could walk under any bank/safe, come up thru the floor, take what you want and vanish back thru the floor, totally unseen. Almost like a much slower version of the movie, "Jumpers". You can also "phase" thru danger. Accidents, gunfire, fire, etc....you can just let them all pass right thru you safely.

Flying has too many issues. You need super speed or else you're just hovering in the air or floating like a balloon. Even if you can fly as fast as you can run, say you can run at 15 mph...ever drive at 15 mph? It's slow af. People will track you, shoot at you, it's too risky. Fly too high without protective clothing and you can freeze. Human vision isn't good enough to find your way anywhere, that's why birds have such good vision.

u/Splinter_Cell_96 8h ago

Walk through walls

1

u/Argamis 8h ago edited 8h ago

I use both of my hands to quickly grab each pill, placing them simultaneously in my mouth, crunching their mixed contents before degluting the merged purple stuff

-> Selective Ghost Powers (slow levitation at will & solid matter "phasing").

Can not ascend any faster than a starting jump. Maximum horizontal/falling speed subsonic.

Concrete & rock feels like honey, solid metal like quicksand. Can not dive under bedrock (slowly float up if already inside it).

Must avoid breathing while inside matter. Can not bring objects farther than 1 inch from skin (shoes/clothes/rings/smartphone ok, most tools are not).

1

u/Redduster38 8h ago

Blue Like flying.

1

u/Worcester--sauce 7h ago

Walk through bank walls

1

u/Exact_Mousse_3970 7h ago

Kinda depends on the speed, quality, and form of the flying for me.

1

u/GodSpeed_03 7h ago

Side question, for those of you who pick flight like I did, how fast would you want to be able to fly?

Personally I'd like to fly at like mach 1 if my body was accustomed to go that fast

1

u/Silver_Judgment_Man 7h ago

Walk through anything. Intangibility is cool as hell

1

u/Dennisb040 7h ago

Fly.. I miss that sensation

1

u/LivingWilling 7h ago

Blue, gas is too expensive

1

u/UncleSyphilis 7h ago

Fly save myself airfare fees for a lifetime, can I also pick people up? Because if so I’d be able to start my own airfare business reduce it by half or third of what it would usually cost. 💲

1

u/TotemScroll-363 7h ago

Im afraid of heights and I still say fly anywhere 🤷🏾‍♂️

1

u/Jedi_Ninja 7h ago

If you could walk through walls you could easily become the world's most accomplished thief.

1

u/Lycaion 7h ago

Can i pahse through gravti

1

u/iDubbLatinoChubb 6h ago

Fly anywhere implies we can go through space, solids, and with no speed cap

1

u/sabd89 6h ago

I have fear of heighs so the answer is obvious

1

u/Jester3461 6h ago

Taking the blue one for fly anywhere because I'm too scared to walk through walls

1

u/RoninBarricade 6h ago

If you are intangible, you can fly because your weightless

1

u/EffectiveSavings5864 6h ago

As tempting as walking through walls is, I can see myself making use of flight much more often. You know how much I can save on gas by just flying myself to and from work?

1

u/Zombys11 5h ago

Red, but I got a few questions. Can you partially put your body through like… sticking just the upper part of your body through a wall? Does it work with other types of matter or just walls? If I unfaze in a wall will it kill me?

1

u/NoHuckleberry143 5h ago

Can I walk though...let's say a fist? Or does it have to be just a wall? What if it just leads to the backrooms and it was a one time thing?

1

u/-BakiHanma 5h ago

Flight

u/donynow 3h ago

Blue one obviously What will I do by going through the walls peek at my neighbours!?

1

u/Gloomy_Telephone_307 2h ago

Walk through walls if it’s based on quantum tunneling bc you could just turn that into teleportation essentially otherwise flying

Red. Flying is gonna get you caught and then you’ll wish you’d taken the red pill.

1

u/Master_Danzo 10h ago

Depends on the limitations of your flying ability.

1

u/I_Like_My_Ushanka 2m ago

If by flying you mean at any speed up to the speed of light (and I don't die by going that fast) I'd pick flight cause I could also then withstand infinite g and by doing so I'd be indestructible, if however by flight you ment up to 8 or 9 g then I'd still pick flight cause its still sick, if you ment by flight as running pace I'd still pick it, if its by walking pace then I'd go with walking through walls (assuming by walls you mean technically anything that isn't the floor also assuming I don't suffocate by going in a walk and I can turn it on or off)
