General DC Comics Discussion Thread

Sure, like I said, it'd be inappropriate to use it as an anti-feat for star level or something comparable, but being weakened alone doesn't justify it in this circumstance.

I can see you won't be convinced so I won't go around in circles explaining it any more, but that's just the most reasonable approach.
 
So scrolling through general discussion threads led me here somehow

Characters can be weakened to any degree the author wants so me personally, I don't see any "anti-feats" involving a weakened version of a character to actually be anti-feats. *********** Tier 2 Goku got grazed by a bullet to show he's "getting rusty" (even though he's still easily in the 2-C range) so clearly the writers can just do whatever the hell they want.

That's just my two cents
 
Eh. You can say that of course, but these are the facts. Some vague notion of "weakened" doesn't mean an event is incapable of telling us anything about a characters power. Pretending that just to achieve a higher rating than is justified is simply an inaccurate way to rate a character.

Uh, no. It really isn't. The facts are that [insert anti-feat here] is done by a weakened version of a character, and said character can be as weakened as the narrative needs them to be.

Saying we're "pretending" and that our viewpoint is "simply inaccurate" as if yours is objectively correct ain't the best look

Dude. In one of those supposed anti-feats, DOOMSDAY kicked his ass. Twice. Not even counting the other events in that comic, but Doomsday going to town on him is more than enough to weaken him to such a degree, given that he, you know, damn near killed him in their first, and pretty much every, encounter.

I absolutely agree with that. Just not for the same reason as you.
