Yeah see this is why I don't put any stock in people rating characters from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as 1-C/10-dimensional. There was literally ONE mention of things being 10-dimensional in the series, and no attempt was ever made to explain or refer to higher dimensions other than that, and the final battle for all intents and purposes appeared to take place within some kind of alternate version of 4-D spacetime.Paulo.junior.969 said:That's also why Tier 1 is not that common in mainstream media overall, and the ones that have it are mainly science-fiction; in order to have a Tier 1, the show woul have to waste its time explaining what dimensionality is to the viewer so they don't get lost, and even if they explain, the most casual viewer might still get lost, since higher dimensions isn't that simple of a concept.
But people are still like "well Simon is probably 1-C because of this one-off statement in the show by writers who obviously don't even understand what higher dimensions actually are" (added that last part myself, obviously, lol), which literally makes zero freaking sense whatsoever. Lol.
Part of the problem here is the common trope that writers suck at math and don't understand physics. I've never really put any stock into "higher dimensional" characters in fictional media except when the writers show that they actually know what they are freaking doing when referring to higher dimensions, lol.
Edit: If anything, the 10-D statement in Gurren Lagann, for example (if the writers DID know what they were doing) was probably referring to something like the situation in String Theory where the extra 6 spatial dimensions are curled up into an imperceptible compact manifold; in which case, that wouldn't even be relevant to tiering.
Wow, I got so off-topic here. Lol.
