DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (2024–2025) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

Vs debators love fiction that is grand and epic, featuring characters whose actions have great significance, and are usually supernatural in some way, or effectively supernatural through fictional superscience. 'Supernatural' literally means 'above nature', and when you combine characters whose powers are beyond nature, and the fact that the writers and readers want them and their actions to be cosmically significant, then justifications for universal levels of power, and the speed to cross cosmic distances, tend to start cropping up out of the weeds quite naturally.
 
So, uh, been watching the new DB episodes and all, but been away from discussions for a couple of months. What's the deal with Omniman vs Bardock? Sorry for the silly question, but I don't know anything about Invincible.
Omniman was wanked to high heaven through a "feat" that is legit just ******* stupid and Bardock was downplayed. I feel like they already have a winner in their minds made up and then do whatever "research" to fit their reasonings, in these type of matchups.

Supernatural is usually in reference to magical stuff in nature or which science cant explain on

Superhuman is the term you look for, which is characters that are better then even olympic athletes

It comes from latin. The term literally refers to things that are beyond the natural order, science being unable to explain them is more a side-effect of the fact that they are beyond science's purview. Superhuman means 'above human', and there are plenty of things in real life that are superhuman in some respect, lions, tigers, bears (oh, my!)

Animals are different then humans, compared to us they are superhuman in some regards, but they aint supernatural, which in the context of real life and fiction is used to refer to stuff like ghosts, devils, angels etc

Nobody uses supernatural to refer to the things you say unless their nature is as that
 
That's kind of the point. Gods and Spirits and things were traditionally thought to exist outside the natural order, and magic is just the science of manipulating supernatural forces (I'm using 'science' here in the more general sense of 'any organized body of study', rather than the more strict modern meaning of 'natural science')
 
Eggmans preview already has calcs while Bowser's didn't, I think I know who's gonna win with this foolproof evidence.
