Possible Star-Lord and Ego Upgrade

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

For the "fiction" argument, I meant that fiction often wanks sharpened weaponry, just like KE doesn't always work in fiction or that fiction often ignores conservation of energy.

James Gunn said Ronan's Spaceship is "Many miles wide"

Except a ship crash doesn't fully-scale to the people inside the ship who can survive it.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Oh that's the feat.

Yup I agree it doesn't fully-scale. EDIT: Wait isn't it an explosion? That could scale.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Also that shit clearly isn't three miles wide just look at he scene.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Agreed. The "official numbers" often contradict the actual scene, like when they said base Surtur's 800 m tall when he clearly isn't that tall.

Even if it did in someway, it wouldn't even scale to the main group. Groot was reduced to splinters, and Ronan, especially with the orb, is vastly superior to Drax. It was also heavily implied that the GotG would die had Groot not shielded them.

There's other feats, like drax withstanding a crash landing and orbital entry without protection in GotG 2.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

It doesn't scale to Groot, no. It only scales to Ronan.

Can you link those feats?

Asgardian weapons are typically enhanced in some way. No normal weapons leave angry red marks that look like they cauterized what they cut. Don't see a reason why Valk's is any different.

And I still think Valkyrie is High 6-B/Asgardian weaponry>>>>wielders via Gemmysaur's reasons.

@Spino I'm planning to, but I can't find it.

@ByAsura What do you think about this?

 

[ByAsura]

It depends on the function. We have Heimdall (did I get that right?) who's sword opens the rainbow bridge, we have Thor's hammer that focuses his powers, both of which aren't necessarily combat related. Also, that might be inaccurate since it was a hologram of Thor.

If you are asking about the weapons being enchanted in general rather than combat related, then I'd say yes. In the mcu magic and science are the same on Asgard.

"Your ancestors called it magic; you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same thing."

Do you agree Asgardian weaponry are sort of enhanced, and that they =/= regular human weaponry?

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

So is it agreed that Korath isn't 8-A?

 

[ByAsura]

@Spino

Yes.

 

[Antvasima]

Just a comment that Wolverine technically shouldn't be able to harm Thor, Hulk, or Thanos with his claws, given insufficient amounts of force behind his strikes, and that his flesh should receive far more damage than they do every time he tries, but he still can, somehow.

I have no opinion about the discussion as a whole though.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

This is adamantium + sharp stuff often harm far higher-tier being in most fiction.

Anyway I think we should return to topic. I'll make a separate thread to discuss Asgardian weaponry if I have time.

UPDATE: Made it

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, let's do so.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Now back to GoTG.

Is it agreed that we should take away the 8-A rankings?

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Bump.

 

[The_Everlasting]

Yeah, it's based on too much extrapolation.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Alright. I'll remove the 8-A rankings. Would Korath be 9-A then?

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I've removed the rankings.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Ok. Should we close this?

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I will do so.
