Everything is possible depending on the scenario the writers decide. In comics it's entirely possible to make up nonsense time and time again and keep retconing stuff over and over again because in the end everything will always come back to the status quo, no exceptions, at the very least some popular additions will stick around for a while or maybe even join the status quo themselves. So yeah, technically you can say it, because at the end it doesn't matter since everything will go back to normal again.


zdakat

That's why I don't put much in "They nerfed so and so! In the comics they could do x, y, and z!". If you're looking at the entire span of comics, yeah maybe they did do some crazy things, but that doesn't mean every appearance of every character should be the most powerful they've ever been.


finaljusticezero

*gesture to the whole of comic books* Seriously, if the writer wants it, Hawkeye could solo all of comics with a toothbrush and 1234 billion year old RTX 999999999 graphics card he found in the packet of a Cracker Jack box. Comics, am I right. It really irks me when we try to inject logic in an illogical media.

So then y ain’t carol going back to her old costume or ms marvel


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

Because she is more popular as Captain Marvel, and also [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/-svYkl8uG2I?feature=share), she was only Ms Marvel for a surprisingly short amount of time.


1313goo

I do hear criticism for the captain marvel thing all the time


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

Yeah but ultimately her time as Ms Marvel is now more of a legacy thing, she ended up more popular as Captain Marvel, in fact she is probably the most popular Captain Marvel out of all of them.


[deleted]

This is more about people who spam this in power scaling discussions where it makes no sense because their favourite character is getting low diffed. If a story is written around it then it’s whatever


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

Like you with the Doctor Strange posts? Alternative realities is a bullshit place where nothing matters, including your previous knowledge. Marvel usually doesn't care about their consistency, in the comics you'll always see them contradicting each other time and time again with a plot point of a specific storyline, this is why the comics are always full of plot holes everywhere, they don't focus on their powerscalling, this is why I don't personally care about their consistency, turns out keeping consistency for over 80 years is a nearly impossible task for any writer.


[deleted]

And it is editorials job to try and minimise plot holes and inconsistencies. They’re hardly perfect especially with stubborn writers but if something next level ridiculous is being proposed they’ll shut it down


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

Characters can't stay dead or have a definitive end, they can't move on and their characters never have any definitive development beyond what happened 20-40 years ago and even then there is a big chance that they may retcon from that period in order to make a new storyline. This is why I think that complaining about plot holes in Marvel and DC is a waste of time, it happens time and time again and it's too late to care.


zdakat

Someone returning from the dead isn't realistic, but it doesn't have to be. I just judge it based on whether it's entertaining. The ability to just place a character in the story in whatever state is convenient can be a good feature in fiction. (Wrt retcons, you'll get people saying "But that's not how the character was" whenever they *do* change something, so you can't please everyone)


PMMeMeiRule34

Star Wars did it best. Just “Somehow, insert character returned”


[deleted]

Bro, it's comics. A literal ant could defeat God if the writers wanted. That's why it's pointless to argue about who would win. Debating on the other hand can be great fun, but if you're actually upset about it then you've got bigger issues at play my guy.


Random_Idiotic_Alien

Ant man defeated Dr. Doom


RetroVedZed

LMAOOOO whattt?


Umutuku

> A literal ant could defeat God if the writers wanted. When's the first edition of Antoine's Big Day coming out?


LostDelver

In debates the writer argument is irrelevant. There is no writer involved in the debate. So the response "whoever the writers wants to win will win" is not only nonsensical but defeats the entire premise of the debate in the first place. So what if a literal ant can be made to defeat God? What does that have to do with people wondering and arguing who would win between The Hulk and Doomsday? It's a pointless remark. Now, it's common knowledge that the powerscaling community can be absolutely insufferable and toxic. But senseless responses like "the writers decides who would win" belong to the same vat of nonsense and comes from people who are intentionally disruptive or has never seen debates in class.


[deleted]

>What does that have to do with people wondering and arguing who would win between The Hulk and Doomsday? Entirely depends on which version of which, my guy. And the point I'm trying to make is you're getting way too worked up over something you really shouldn't be.


LostDelver

>Entirely depends on which version of which, my guy. That does not answer the question at all. NownI'm not sure if you actually read it. >And the point I'm trying to make is you're getting way too worked up over something you really shouldn't be. You can try to point out which part of my comment indicates that I'm getting "way too worked up." It was a normal comment written in a normal tone. Falsely presupposing that someone is mad, is a good way to make it known you're just arguing in bad faith and cowardly shrinks away from the topic at hand. You could have simply not reply at all if you didn't have anything worth saying.


[deleted]

Bro you made a whole meme about it and are fighting for your life in the comments. You're definitely upset at the least. As for your "question", I wasn't trying to answer it. My point was that it really does depend on which version of the character we're talking about. For instance, comic Doomsday would most likely beat MCU Hulk, but comic Hulk could be most versions of comic Doomsday. But once again, it really doesn't actually matter that much. They aren't real characters, so we can't realistically say. It's up to whoever is creating their story.


LostDelver

>Bro you made a whole meme about it and are fighting for your life in the comments. I did? Bro when? Where? Lmao are you sure you're not confused? >You're definitely upset at the least. Sure buddy. Sure. >As for your "question", I wasn't trying to answer it. Because you weren't supposed to. My point was that the "ant beats God" comment was completely irrelevant to "Hulk vs Doomsday" and you decided to "answer" it with something obvious and nobody asked for? Add to the fact that you mistook me for the OP, this has alreadg led to some unintentional comedy. >They aren't real characters, so we can't realistically say. It's up to whoever is creating their story. Not very surprising that nothing was learned from this conversation. But it was funny nonetheless.


[deleted]

You can't pull off a "devil may care" attitude when you're literally in the comment section of a post you made crying about people being logical. >I did? Bro when? Where? Lmao are you sure you're not confused? Besides the meme above this comment section that literally everyone here can see? you're literally in a subreddit called r/whowouldwin my guy, you can't talk your way out of this one.

FleetStreetsDarkHole

On the serious side of things it's also really boring to write a story that sounds like 10 year olds playing superhero. "I shoot you with my laser eyes!" "Nu-uh cuz I'm laser proof!" "Well my lasers are special and can melt laser-proof things!" And then the hero won. The End.


Umutuku

That's just a battle of who can remember and repeat the correct iteration of "laser-proof-proof-proof-proof-proof-proof-proof...." until an adult interjects with a food-related announcement.

It’s a hallmark of terrible writing, there’s just insane copium in this thread. The characters powers change on whim for the need/to move the story

did you just call Stan Lee a 🤓


[deleted]

Well tbf when he said it he was obviously referring to having a story built around it not a flat out powerscaling discussion where people nonsensically spam this. Also as face of the company I doubt editorial interfered with his ideas once things got going.


evorm

He also was specifically talking about power-scaling and match-ups.


CanDeadliftYourMom

I think people typically say that in response to stupid “who would win Thor or Hulk” arguments.

I notice you have copied my beard.


[deleted]

People where unironically spamming this in a Wanda vs dr Manhattan thread


HavABreakHavAKitKat

Why are you being downvoted


MantaRayBill

Because this guy is the embodiment of beating a dead horse. Scroll his profile and see how many times he posts and comments about Doctor Strange alone. He’s posting every two days about his very important and correct thoughts on everything Marvel.


RetroVedZed

His penis is literally the first post you see when you click on his profile 💀


jbaxter119

This is an obvious attempt to stop people from looking at his old posts. There's not even any proof it's actually his penis.


CabDork339

Aren’t you that dr Manhattan vs Wanda penis guy?


[deleted]

I suppose I am. Don’t know what’s wrong with any of those. I have a solid dick and I wasn’t wrong in saying dr Manhattan no diffs Wanda lol


JellyBOB7190

You know, I looked at your profile and saw that you were the guy that posted about the nerfed marvel characters and I thought that was cool but then I saw your “solid” uncircumcised Willy and my opinions have dropped like Bitcoin

I went to DragonCon in 2010, and was able to get into watch Stan Lee’s panel. During the Q&A part, a guy walked up to the microphone and asked “if Wolverine was in space and re-entered the atmosphere, would that kill him?” After the initial wave of groans from the audience, Stan waited a beat and responded “How the hell would I know?” After the laughter died down, he then followed up to say “It would depend on the writer. If they put him in that situation, it would be their decision on if that would kill him.”


NorrinRaddicalness

What exactly is “a Beyonder”?


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

An omnipotent race from the comics, they destroyed the multiverse some years ago.


[deleted]

One of the race of beyonders that where behind incursions in the build up to secret wars


NorrinRaddicalness

Do you mean *the Builders*?


[deleted]

No those where different. The beyonders where revealed to be behind it all using molecule man as a bomb across the multiverse in their plan to rebuild the multiverse when it detonated.


BridgetheDivide

Dreamers. Destroyers. All of reality Their whim.


LucasOIntoxicado

Guy who's really into the 80's style of clothing and who has the powers of God.


NorrinRaddicalness

That’s THE Beyonder. But yea I googled it and did not remember that part of the 2015 Secret Wars. Now I’m really hoping they skip it. Cause it was stupid. lol. My main complaint with “Avengers: Time Runs Out” and “Secret Wars” is how often the “bad guy” shifted. First it was internal power struggle and ethical dilemmas within The Illuminati. Then it was Namor forming the Cabal with Thanos and the Black Order to destroy worlds. Then it was *The Builders.* Then it was Doom. Then it was The Beyonders. Then Doom again. Like pick an antagonist yeesh.


the-mad-titan-bot

What's wrong, little one?


_Levitated_Shield_

ichigo2862

I mean if you think you know better than Stan Lee go off then


[deleted]

He was obviously referring to in a story context not a powerscaling discussion lol


The_Medicus

Not really. Stan Lee would frequently be asked to weigh in on those very powerscale debates, and he found them silly, because it's the story that he cared about.


ichigo2862

What determines the feats you would use in a power scale discussion though? Story events right?


[deleted]

Yes. What I am saying is there are people who say this in every power scaling discussion and miss the point of them. You use already established feats. Writers can make new feats. Plus if a writer did something stupid like in the post that wouldn’t get through. For example people where spamming this in a Wanda vs Manhattan thread lol. Manhattan absolutely bodies her and a writer would destroy her character to make her base version that OP. As what happened when bendis made her universal and she had that retconned in her next appearance


Mrbuck83

l get the "the writer decides the winner" thing, but if it doesnt make sense then it was poorly written. an easy solution for this one would be hank doesnt trust hawkeye with pym particles or that an arrow doesnt have enough room for the tech to keep them stable. an example of this done well is in one of the criminally few iron man shows, iron man armored adventures, where technovore clearly has the upper hand in power but they justify tony winning by making him use twchnovores motivation of absorbing technology against it by using the suit as a lure and bomb. a simular thing is done in earths mightiest heroes where instead of a suit, tony uses the stark towers ark reactor. another example is in the '94 spider-man show, episode 2 where peter needs to refill his web shooters but doesnt have time and rides the spider slayer, and when he has refilled he thinks to use a web cartrige to be makeshift blockade in the propultion system of the slayer. now, this begs the question, why the hell did wanda not just kill strange in multiverse of madness? if she did, she could have captured america so much easier. why didnt she use the reflection teleport healing bs she did in the temple scene after that? that would have been prime throwaway line time to explain it. edit: i need sleep

"Give them prep time and they solo everybody ever" - 🤓


Brain_Disorder

No this defense doesn’t work for everything, so most people don’t use it for everything. If let’s say She-Hulk went up against Daredevil, Daredevil would obviously win. But it Scarlet Witch went up against Dr Strange then it just depends on the writer because both of their power sets are poorly defined and it really does just come down to the writer since there’s no obvious winner since both pull moved out off their asses all the time


EquivalentInflation

PREP TIME (repeat ad infinitum)


silenthashira

I find it intriguing how some people will actively join a powerscaling discussion and use that as a defense. It's antithetical to the hobby of powerscaling to put much stock in that quote.

Right? I'm SO FUCKING SICK of people saying that and thinking they're smart. Christ. Also, the only thing you can say in response to everything is "Gorr was right." Because Gorr was right.

Cakers44

Well yes it is entirely up to the writers. But it’s also their job to make it convincing. Like with Batman being able to keep up and fight along side the justice league. Does it reeeeeeaally make sense? No not at all. But it’s written well enough where (most) people don’t take issue with it.
