Death of the Author is a thing if his statements contradict what's shown in the work of fiction in question. Whether that applies here or not is another discussion but an author's opinion isn't the be-all-end-all when it comes to indexing his characters.Supreme of Universe said:Demattiese's opinion>yours opinion

I agree but sometimes even plain description can go a long way in making a transcendental being seem incredibly powerful. Even though we don't see any feats, a skilled writer can easily make a being seem godlike without a single stone being disturbed. Now whether or not DC writers achieve this with the Presence is another matter.Dreaming Serpent said:I guess if the Presense is supposed to be stronger we can just chalk it up to the writers depicting him in a very flaccid manner. That's the thing. These writers need to do a little better at showing instead of telling, even it doesn't spell out everything, feats we see are generally stronger then feats assumed. It's why Chaos King is such a good cosmic villain because we see actively engaging destructive feats. And it helps solidify how much stronger Oblivion is too by restating that Chaos King is just a tiny aspect of Oblivion.
this is not presence at all lucifer said it and even writer also break it down for you guysDreaming Serpent said:That's the thing. For all the supposed "Omnipotence" The Presense supposedly has, we are shown time and time again on why he isn't. But the counter to that was that it was all "part of his plan" Kind of weak sauce if you ask me.
We at least know by this and a few other instrances that even the Presense is affected by change like this and can be corrupted in some way which shows that he is not beyond all concepts like an unparalleled force would be.
