STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Mythology is just religion you don't believe in.

It isn't just "you." It refers to the populous in general. Pretty much nobody believes in these ancient religions anymore so we don't refer to them as religion, but mythology.

When you refer to religion in general nobody is going to be thinking you are talking about ancient mythologies. They are going to think about the things that people in the world mainly practice and believe in. Christianity, Islam, etc. Which is why you should be extremely careful mixing those two words up. And why I don't think anyone should make generalized statements like this about "religion." Especially in the way that I just saw, lol.

Most people would consider the ancient Greek pantheon a mythology rather than a religion. There is a slight but important distinction between those two. Religion is currently practiced and believed in spiritually and ritually while mythology is stuff that has mostly become folktale and legend in the modern era.

Personally I don't consider the distinction to be important but everyone is entitled to their opinions.

It is very important since referring to someone's beliefs as mythology is pretty much akin to calling them fictional the same way. I think that's pretty harmful in a lot of cases.

And it isn't just about what you personally don't believe in.

If I believe in Christianity but don't believe in Islam, I'm still not going to refer to the religion of Islam as "mythology" because that's putting that belief on the same level as ancient pantheons, essentially saying it isn't real whatsoever.
 
I mean that isn't really the point being made, at one period in history what we today call mythology were actual religions that people believed in and eventually stopped doing so for a variety of reasons. Modern religions aren't any more legitimate just because they replaced them.
 
Quick opinion:
"All mythologies are religions that no one believes in, and all religions will sooner or later become mythologies, giving way to new religions."
However, the distinction is necessary because NOW there are people who believe in it, and those people deserve the same respect in their beliefs as those who believe what I said above, because at the end of the day that is also just a belief.

Yes, I am an Atheist
No, you can't bother with the topic, respect me as I respect you
Yes, Boros is currently fodder, and it isn't up for discussion

Saying that modern religions aren't more legitimate than ancient mythologies pretty inherently disrespectful lol.

Pretty much nobody thinks ancient mythologies are legitimate and believable so equivalating people's modern ideals and beliefs and faiths to that is not a good thing to do man. It goes into the same idea as pretty much calling it fiction.

So long as you're not disrespecting people, it doesn't really matter. Ideas and beliefs aren't inherently worthy of respect.

Calling someone's beliefs fictional or saying that their beliefs are on the same level as fiction/mythology is inherently disrespectful to those people, though. I don't understand why you'd say this.

Are you saying that you don't think statements like "Christianity is fiction." Or "Islam is a myth." Are inherently disrespectful to those that practice those beliefs? Just because you don't think any belief is inherently worthy of respect? These statements aren't any different from calling all religion fiction. In fact, I'd say that is even worse since you target all of them.

Because people who have those beliefs believe and base their beliefs on something that is not real, that's why I said that same thing, even though I should have said it differently.
I mean, people really believe that it is real that there was a person who died and was resurrected? Or beings of multiple complexions and shapes, or chimeras of other beings (hybrids, rather) and many other things.
I don't even think that Christianity counted on the emergence of artificial intelligence, or galaxies, or basically anything we have now, specially the fact that people believe we, humans, have souls, and that is what make us special and different, which is also a lie we tell ourselves so we can argue that any other being is below us in a specific way.
but we don't notice that, many of the things we do, can be replicated by any other intelligent being, if they are intelligent enough, we are just lucky to be intelligent enough to know.
Maybe if there is another intelligence in the universe, maybe we would realize that our religions are not the reason for our existence, it is just anoter piece

I think it's pretty short-sighted to say modern religions inherently have more value to them. It's not as if you can objectively prove they are any less real than, say, Christianity.

This isn't to dismiss the practice. I myself am a spiritual person. But If someone were to say, worship nature instead of a god, as so many other cultures did (and still do), I wouldn't say their interpretation of the divine is less valuable than, say, being catholic.

Completely unrelated.

Can Black Sperm (the individual and smaller scale fusions) be killed by Small Town level attacks? I want to make a match with them but their durability is simply "unknown".
Click to expand...
They have some sort of superhuman durability of course but it can't really be quantified as it's inconsistent and trying to scale people to their durability ***** up the scaling hard so yes, they can be killed by Small Town level attacks
 
Anyway, since nothing is happening lately with the manga and I'm bored I'm revamping OPM profiles. Any suggestions?

So let's try something different
Battle royale
Characters
All the heroes who have a profile here, plus Bomb, Suiryu, Sonic and the entire Narinki's Private Squad, (these as one, because they really need it)

Rules:
-Tatsumaki and anyone who is equal or stronger than her in Ap is out [for obvious reasons],
-Genos cannot use his "Ten Second Mode"
-Metal Knight cannot use more than one drone

-1 hour of preparation,
-No external help,
-Alliances are allowed, but in the end only one can win
-The Narinki's Private Squad begins in perfect condition, including the one who lost his arm has it back, Iaian no
-The setting is the destroyed city after Boros' ship, so it is perfect for hiding or throwing large debris

Edit:
Flashy Flash is also out, apparently it's One Shot everyone in a second
For convenience, the characters have the Stats that the profiles say (Sorry Sonic)

On it, back in an hour.

Just in case, with 1 hour of preparation I mean that the characters have an hour to prepare, more than anything because Drive Knight needs it.
The thing about not having outside help is more than anything so that Genos doesn't try to ask Dr. Kuseno for anything.

Remove Flashy Flash because he unironically solos the entire S Class minus Tatsumaki and Blast

Based on the profiles, he doesn't have enough Ap for that

Speed-o'-Sound Sonic (音速のソニック Onsoku no Sonikku) is a villain in the series, first appearing as a bodyguard hired by Mr. Monier. He grew up in a ninja village, honing his skills to near perfection. He views Saitama as his eternal rival, ever since the hero "defeated" him in a rather embarrassing...

I blame the author for not meeting my excessively high standards. Brrr! It should be filled with boom boom kaboom massive feats for it to be good!

I don't think anyone is complaining about that. Just the consistent delays for a relatively unexciting chapter back-to-back. My standards are reasonable as they are based on the quality of the OPM manga, and this is below the usual quality if I'm being frank.

And I love the slice-of-life chapters that offer characterization over pure action.

It's only unexciting for you because your expectations were different. And let's be frank here, the main reason you found it boring is that it lacks any new feats. For me, and I'm sure for others who didn't see OPM solely for its feats, the previous chapter felt like a cliffhanger, making me look forward to what's going to happen next rather than feeling unexcited.

You can keep making random assumptions about me and what I like or expect if you want. You don't know me at all lol.

I couldn't care less for the feats in reality, you are completely wrong, and the reason it was unexciting is because we've literally seen this chapter before months ago pre-redraw. Of all the chapters in this arc that got redrawn this one was probably the least changed. The only major difference was the way EV tricked Sonic. Everything else was pretty much the same and, furthermore, essentially just dialogue. We're all looking forward to what's gonna happen next but not because of the way this redraw set anything up.

Why are you adamant on acting like you know the way other people think? I could do the same about you and it wouldn't be any more true.
