He's not literally ripping reality, although he can. Long story made short: He said he'll be able to rip the fabric of reality to save his friends. Ripping a hole in reality isn't going to do much help. He far far more likely means he can warp the fabric of reality.AKM sama said:The first statement, ripping the fabric of reality is very vague and could mean anything from ripping a hole in space-time over a localized area such as a city, planet, solar system, galaxy etc. Assuming it to be the universe is really the assumption of the highest order without anything to go off of. For example, comic book characters often "rip the fabric of reality" but most of the times it turns out to be a hole in space-time of different magnitudes. Same with Goku Black and his clones.
The second statement is even more vague. Like what is the context behind it? "Power over all reality" could be interpreted as reality warping. It could also mean that the character would become powerful enough to rule over the universe, like how Freeza had the power over all of the galaxy. That didn't mean he was galaxy level.
The third statement sounds like reality warping too. But it also sounds like hype because the character is boasting about his own power. Is there anything else to support that claim? There are many claims like "I feel like I can do this and that" and only the few ones which make sense with the scaling, fit the narrative and are backed up by some extremely reliable characters for the sake of exposition are truly accepted. Others are either treated as hyperbole or aren't considered due to being insufficient for making such a change.
What are your thoughts on Discord being overpowered by Tirek and other times he's shown limits to be pis?Foxthefox1000 said:Having power over all of reality with the context of them talking about his powers and how we know he's a reality warper, it REALLY is a stretch to assume he meant to control reality through some other means. "All of reality" also isn't vague. That's at least universal given the show exists in a universe.
"Warping the cosmos" is easily at least MSS due to the billions of stars in the night sky and would still be so from the sheer range of it, but of we wanna play with textbook definitions, then it literally translates to "universe" and has themings of an orderly system on a massive scale, and given Discord's chaos magic and the fact he's an embodiment of Chaos itself? Yeab, Occam's Razor is really favoring good ol' Discy here.
Yeah, but wouldn't Tirek still have to be comparable to the guy in order to steal his magic in the first place? Considering he can't steal from beings that are too powerful for him?Foxthefox1000 said:Discord wasn't overpowered by Tirek. He got his magic absorbed and taken from him, and Tirek makes it clear to us in the new season that "no one can handle all that chaos" which implies he couldn't really make effective use of Discord's power or control it when he had it, meaning Discord is still > Tirek by statements and massively above everyone else due to his magic being too much in one way or another for Tirek with practically ALL the magic in Equestria sans the Princesses all conglomerated together. We even see a parallel with Twilight being inexperienced and unable to control the potency of her magic well with all of the Princesses' power.
CinnabarManx421 said:Also, IDK if this helps or not, but in S9 E23, Discord said: "Ugh. It really is a curse having infinite powers. Everypony is always asking you to, 'Move a couch' or 'Help with a proposal'"
The Pony of Shadows.Antvasima said:I juat forgot to mention any other characters and forces being stronger than Discord. What is PoS?
He still has to be comparable in terms of raw power to absorb Discord. Also, just because he couldn't control his powers doesn't mean he's not Discord level. It's just because it takes a certain amount of skill, not power.Drunkfrank said:Seems kinda like reaching to keep Discord star level at this point.
He has consistent statements and feats to show he is far above that. Tirek absorbing him and being relative to Twilight is no longer a factor as we know he couldn't actuall use Discords magic
I mean, being an AP thing is literally a limit for his absorption on his profile page.DarkDragonMedeus said:Absorb their magic is more so hax rather than AP; then when absorbed by it the technically have the power. Even if they can't quite control it, but being unable to control the power might mean the power isn't combat applicable.
