    Potential Toei Dragonball upgrade

    In episode of Bardock, Friezas destruction of Planet Vegeta also destroyed one of its moons and overall the explosion was massive. Skip to 1:25 mark [Link] Would this offer any upgraded at all?

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    I edited my post, just letting others know.

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    I'll copy past a part of my post on the other thread to discuss this matter here: 3. This will be my most controversial point, and thus is something I think all of us glossed over. The Ainur during the Ainulindalë may are not stronger than they were at the beginning of Time. This is the quote...

    Lord of the Rings general revision thread: Return of the Thread

    Hey everyone, been a while. Read more of the lore and read some of the stuff from all three threads and first I will say I do like a lot that has been said, not only is it informative power scaling wise but also points out stuff in the lore that's really cool. That being said, I do have 3...

    Lord of the Rings general revision thread (continued)

    To add to the troll stuff, Pippins Westernesse blade (Númenórean) one shotted an Olog-Hai, so Blades from Númenor and Elven swords can at least cut thru stone. Glamdring shattered the Balrogs sword when Gandalf parried it in the books as well, another feat for Elven swords.

    What makes the Nazgûl dangerous is a combination of things, not just raw power.

    Lord of the Rings general revision thread (continued)

    I think with LOTR scaling we have to keep in mind weapons are very powerful in this universe. Aragorn is wielding a sword that can kill a Maia. As for Aragorn himself, he has hints of Maia heritage himself, it's probably why the Nazgûl can't affect Aragorn with their fear aura and why he held...

    Lord of the Rings general revision thread (continued)

    As I've mentioned I more or less agree with the scaling, some stuff is obviously messy since the Legendarium isn't straightforward like modern verses, good example are the Nazgûl. Tolkien himself says the Nazgûl don't have great physical power but their true power lies in fear, which makes...

    Lord of the Rings Discussion Thread

    There's actually a quote in Unfinished Tales that says Gandalf the Grey is actually the Mightiest of the Istari and Galadriel wanted him to be the leader of the White Council but Gandalf sensed Sarumans jealousy and made him the Head of the council instead. But, there are quotes that contradict...

    Ainur can't ever die until Eä aka the Universe ends no matter what, at most they become powerless spirits like what happened to Sauron.

    Lord of the Rings Discussion Thread

    We've mostly talked about a lot of these points, I agree with most but have certain different POVs ofc. When it comes to Galadriel being lesser than Gandalf the Gray cause of the ring statement, I always assumed that was because Gandalf most likely would end up "shedding" his mortal form, I...

    Lord of the Rings general revision thread (continued)

    Yeah, the strongest Elves consistently can exhange blows in forms of magic and powerful weaponry against the Maia. I think Elrond and Cirdan are above Glorfindel since they were given one of the 3 Rings because, just like Galadriel, they were the greatest Elves on Middle-Earth during the 3rd...

    To be clear this is the thread all revisions will be agreed upon?

    Lord of the Rings Discussion Thread

    It's possible the flat earth is massive, the Outer seas that encircle the landmasses are huge, but not much evidence to go by from that. The Sun and Moon are also on ships made by the Elvesz so I think that may debunk any potential size increases.
