Dargoo, it's pretty simple logic. She literally fades away with her light particles in the scene. She doesn't even regenerate in the same place from when she was killed, the indications are quite literally there. We even get the narrator opening the episode by telling us she was destroyed.I mean, if you can't show or prove to me she was fully erased (as in, absolutely nothing remained of her) on a spiritual level then it isn't Mid-Godly regen, pretty simple as that. We have spirits who have High Regen based on regenerating from being reduced to microscopic specs and popping up in a completely different location after the fact.
“After fusing with Vaatu, Unalaq became a Dark Avatar and ripped Korra and Raava apart! By destroying Raava, Unalaq and Vaatu transformed into the most powerful dark spirit that's ever lived.”
I don't particularly see why regenerating on a spiritual level for that profile, as you say, is being treated the same as physical regeneration.
Except that's clearly not how it used there. The text you linked says "body and soul/mind”. That would be incredibly redundant to just have that as another and, or you would format it as "body, soul, and mind" (take your pick on if we go by the oxford comma or not).I don't particularly care about the grammar argument, since forward slashes are also used to represent "and". Our page having a grammatical flub is secondary to what the intended meaning of the page is and expecting our explanations to follow formal grammar to the T is pedantic/nitpicky.
Not really. You yourself said even said, and I quote, “The standards are extremely clear and I shouldn't have to explain them multiple times,”. If they're as clear as you say, then it'd be easy to discern that's how it's meant to be interpreted. You can't just decide to change your stance on the page to conveniently suit your argument.
Also, yes, that is a completely reasonable expectation. If the article somehow explained it wrong, then it led to this discussion. I'm pretty sure the site should be trying to not broadcast wrong descriptions of information to the hundreds of thousands of visitors it has.
Then that should be discussed. This Regen discussion should be put off otherwise until that gets decided.That said. Decided to dredge up discussions on Mid-Godly to see what the precedent actually was on the matter.
Ant changed the page from using "and" to using a slash after SeraEX commented that it represented "or" on this thread. Interestingly enough basically no one other than Sera and Ant had discussion on the matter, even the OP most of the staff agreed to that said "and", and this interaction between Ant/Sera seemed to have gone largely ignored by or staff members. I'll make a thread about it once site-wide revisions are allowed. Until then I'll back off on that point.
When was this stated to be the case at all? The way that Raava's own quote portrays it, she'd be regenerating inside of Vaatu after she gets destroyed by him. That's a pretty unwarranted assumption that there is always just a random part of Raava that's inside Vaatu. What you're arguing here is pretty much an extension of the same point. I'd like you to actually give evidence to what you're suggesting.Granted, none of this really matters since Ravaa's soul isn't entirely being EE'd as part of it always exists in Vaatu, so it wouldn't be Mid-Godly regardless. Or Low-Godly now that I think of it that way, since she's regenerating from a piece of herself in Vaatu.
That and it wasn't proven Raava is coming back from being fully erased rather than a small part of herself (although a small part of herself existing in Vaatu kind of kicks the supporting argument in the balls anyways) so I'll just double down on my take here. Raava wouldn't be able to regenerate from full spiritual destruction since "full spiritual destruction" would also be nuking the part of her that exists in Vaatu and vice versa. It's just a bread-and-butter Type 8 immortality case.
