incorporeal
not corporeal : having no material body or form
You think an energy construct isn't non-physical just because it can interact with other things? Your last point just restates exactly what I said.
No what you’re stating is that Peter kicked through the demon “like it didn’t exist.” Like it was non-physical, but meanwhile the shield that Miles breaks through that is done by this very same demon is entirely physical. That is the claim that you made and that is the claim that you have yet to substantiate. You have not provided evidence that there is some arbitrary distinction between this manifested demon and the manifested shield, and the fact that
Peter actively dodges this demon as he’s kicking through it just proves to the point that it’s something physically to interact with.
Coulda woulda shoulda. You provide me hypotheticals based on conjecture as an argument. Again, unless you can prove Peter is as strong as Miles with venom, there is no evidence Li has always been this strong.
I did not, I provided you concrete proof that Peter is comparable with how showing against Li. Also that’s not how burden of proof works,
you’re the one making the claim that Li got stronger, therefore it’s
your burden of proof to prove that he got stronger. I don’t need to prove anything since you’re the one making the claim that Li got stronger.
The same Kraven that beat down Miles. Also Kraven is a new opponent to Spider-Man here so irrelevant.
After Peter has beaten Rhino before.
-Miles fights weakened symbiote suit Peter
-Miles one-shots a weakened Kraven
These two points become irrelevant thanks to the added “weakened” section of your quote.
-Miles holds his own against Venom, while Peter was still fighting Venom while symbiote-enhanced
And? This doesn’t prove Peter doesn’t scale, which is the claim you’re making.
-Miles blows Sandman's arm off while Peter is literally incapable of inflicting harm
Isn’t this the same Sandman that can harm Miles
but literally struggled to hurt Peter?
I don't see how he's "fighting the actual demon" when the only course of action you can take is dodging its attacks until it goes away. The demon has no evidence that it is the susanoo you portray it to be.
He literally kicked through said demon. Also, you’re the one making the claim that the demon is this kind of intangible thing that doesn’t have durability to it or acts like it doesn’t exist, therefore it’s up to you to prove that claim. In every situation we see the demon in, we see it physically being there. Peter kicked through the demon the same way Miles punches through the shield, it’s up to you to prove that the demon isn’t actually there for Peter since you’re the one making that claim.
Elite red herring. It happened, and it isn't up for debate as to why it happened, nor does the out-of-universe why matter. Nobody said he needs to beat them, I said he hasn't won a fight against anybody who matters since the first game. So to assume he scales to somebody's unique powerset that is consistently shown above him since the first game is a stupid take in my opinion.
Thats not a red herring, I’m explaining why that point doesn’t matter. We assume he scales to somebody’s power set because the people that individual is fighting with that specific power set are the very same people that Spider-Man has fought and damaged and beaten against. Ergo this is a basic understanding of scaling in my opinion.
Miles also got dragged through the same initial massive explosion that Peter did. The explosions throughout the Roxxon building isn't what finished Peter off; you can literally see Rhino laying hands on him in the background while Miles is fighting off waves of thugs.
I'll even link you to the exact moment you're referencing.
I never claimed that the explosions finished Peter off, but damage can accumulate and being dragged through several explosions is what we can certainly classify as “damage.” Rhino is a heavily armored tank, Spider-Man is not. Rhino can tank explosions better than he can, ergo, different circumstances lead to different results.
Damage is an extremely generous term. Peter was dropping multi-ton shipping equipment on his head, which did most of the work, then hitting him while he was already down. I don't see how he scales after getting stomped. I think we should revisit your original point before I waste more time doing basic fact-checks.
That’s still scalable, Peter can literally perform finishers on Rhino that we can see do damage in that fight. Also we have direct instances of Peter scaling to Rhino like for example
Peter throwing Vulture at him, knocking him down. And Peter
directly stopping a punch from Rhino. These are some pretty basic fact checks that you seem to be missing.
You said "Peter fights Rhino under two different circumstances and environments. You can fight a person in one situation and win, and fight a person in another situation and lose."
Peter never won his first fight, only contained him. Second fight he got stomped. This was your justification for Peter losing against Rhino. Your original point was that if anything, Li should be weaker because he was in prison. The whole point of bringing up Rhino was to prove that being locked up does not mean Peter automatically escapes getting his ass beat when they fight again. I proved that point.
You can contain someone and win a fight against them, that’s not mutually exclusive. Peter directly fighting Rhino, knocking him down and doing damage to him and scorpion as well while being able to successfully contain the two, is winning the fight. I also never claimed that being in prison means Peter can escape losing, but your point is that Martin Li got stronger in his time in prison, which there is no evidence for. I also mentioned more reasons than just “being in prison” for why Martin Li would be weaker “if anything.” Like how Martin’s power feeds off of his negative emotions, which was fueling him in Spider-Man 1 but he’s largely mellowed in Spider-Man 2.
His durability would scale, sure. But can you somehow prove that Rhino hits with as much power as venom to justify an AP change?
Uh yeah…he can harm Miles, whose durability scales to those 8-A+ values. Just how scaling works, since Miles’ durability scales to his venom attacks and Rhino is able to harm Miles, then that leaves Rhino’s AP being on the level as those venom attacks.
