      @Madara8989 2 роки тому +7

      @@tarnell4003 Toriyama never once stated or implied that he doesn't remember "Goku's powers." The only time he's ever said he forgot something was when readers asked him about the fate of background characters that he wrote out of the story 10+ years prior. More specifically, his "I forgot about that" answer was in response to what happened to Lunch/Launch, the character who only ever existed to tell a joke about split personalities and women with bipolar disorder and had long since played out her joke (the last time we see her in the manga is before Goku and Chi-Chi run off to get married).
      Fanboys have since taken that one response to mean that Toriyama doesn't actually know shit about his own series so they can disregard any interview answers that contradict their power scaling threads or claims in a vs topic.
      When Battle of Gods was coming out and fans/interviewers were asking what the new Super Saiyan God form meant for the previous transformations (SS2 & SS3), Toriyama clarified a lot of misconceptions that the Daizenshuu guidebooks had put out there and the Power Level fanboys almost all stood in unison to proclaim that Toriyama is just too senile to remember what he actually wrote in the series. Why? Because among the things Toriyama said was that SS2 and SS3 aren't actually full on transformations but rather a separate branch of regular SS (akin to the Ascended and Ultra Saiyan forms Vegeta and Trunks used on Cell), that the power of SS1 could be increased beyond SS2 and SS3, and most importantly, that the Super Saiyan multipliers in the Daizenshuu were exaggerations that he never claimed to be true and hadn't taken into account when writing the original manga.
      The problem is that uninformed fanboys seem to think that anime guidebooks are written exclusively by the original creator of the work and that everything in them is backed by the "word of god," but the reality is that these books are generally made when the publication studio that owns the manga/anime hires ghost writers to interview the creator and compile a new piece of merch that the fans won't be able to resist buying because it supposedly has all the hidden production secrets that weren't in the manga itself. The reality is that databooks are written by someone not involved in the creation of the series, only exist to sell the fans unneeded merch, and are full of hyperbole, exaggerations, and often times blatantly incorrect information.

      ​​@@godversesans5152 Yes, powerscaling a battle basing only on feats, and statements would mean characters that display strength/hax "X" would win against a character without invulnerability to said hax or with inferior strength.
      However when someone is writing a fic/novel or book, they can create feats out of nothing buffing the characters/nerfing them to the point that makes the script interesting.
      All in all, Stan Lee is a right in this way of reasoning, the script is the one who decides who wins. But wrong in the particular way most nerds/powerscalers are meaning to, which is analysing feats, calculating the energy required to perform feat X.

And Superman being the compassionate guy he is would agree to a sparring match. Whoever wins doesn't matter, anyone can fill the physical victory part, but at the end of the sparring Goku would feel glad to train with a potential friend and worthy opponent whereas Superman might find him odd but would accept his friendship.

They just post dumb shit like "man he's gonna be 100ft taller and he's gonna kill that stupid money with one blast of atomic breath". Idiots. Now listen, I'm a life long Godzilla fan, but you gotta give Kong the respect he's due. No matter how quickly you think Godzilla would beat Kong, it's a big blockbuster movie! If Kong even loses at all, he's gonna put up one hell of a fight, bc that's how they'll have written it. In real life, none of this shit could happen anyways, so who cares who'd win in "real life". At this point, bc of all these ppl, I think I'd rather Kong win. After all, this is by far my favorite version of Kong, but it's definitely not my favorite Godzilla.

    He right. When you pick up a writing tool or even a paint brush (That includes a keyboard and even artwork) you control their reality. As a narrator you are the driving force in the story and you decide who wins or loses and even who lives or dies. Your word is law in fiction and you can do whatever the hell you want. That's why i love writing and illustrations.

    This is so accurate. It literally depends on the writers on who they want to win. But every person always say “Oh wait what about this, what about that?” My guy it always depends on the writers. Especially if characters continuously get buffed. They always make that decision and there’s no definitive answer so please stop complaining on who didn’t win. Whoever wins depends on the writer. I get it if you do those powerscaling slap fights for fun but in the end you still need a writer to do these who would win fights and they make the decisions.

    Much like wrestling the victor is usually predetermined but it’s the writer’s job to make an outcome that leaves people with “I buy that” like you know the good guys will beat the bad guys but you gotta believe what they did to get to that outcome made sense. Even the story itself can help you understand why things went the way they did because of the idea that characters fighting are basically having a debate with their fists and who ever has the stronger argument can win. The two people fighting are clashing ideals or indeed a battle of two super strong wills. It’s all in how you sell it at the end of the day which is important, it’s how deadpool was able to convincingly killed a Marvel universe after all

      shortterm though. Write good story's and you get long term loyalty.

    • @spokehedz
      @spokehedz 10 років тому +1

      ***** You start out with loyal fans, then get them all hooked into the franchise with good writing. Or lots and lots of semi-naked women. Whatever. Both have the same result: More readers.
      Then, you take something that is a given in the comic. Something that is ALWAYS true. 2+2=4 kind of stuff. It can be something simple like, the character never kills anyone. Then, you have them have to kill someone. Ooh! Moral conflict! Or if the character simply cannot die, you kill them off. Ooh! Pull at those heartstings! Or if the character has some sort of flaw that keeps their power in check, you remove that power in some fashion. Ooh! Character turns evil! And so on and so on... The list is almost infinite how you can twist the knife.
      Then you let them hang on the hook for a while. Maybe a good while. All this time, they work in the background--free, mind you--doing your advertising. By arguing online. And in person, at the Comic Book Store. And anywhere else they can find someone else to yell at about it. XBL. Steam. WoW gen chat. Whatever.
      And then you release more either based on the negative aspects, or you bring them back to what they were--or both! Just have a spinoff series. Evil in one Universe, then Good in another. And that sets up another bridging series in a couple of months time...
      This stuff writes itself. Seriously. I admire Stan a whole heck of a lot , but the sad fact is that there isn't a whole lot of NEW in the industry anymore. And the trouble is... The customers like it that way. They want the same 'ol, same 'ol... day in, day out. The sales numbers do not lie... The only one to break out of this monotony is Deadpool. And I don't know how much longer even that can last. Once insanity gets accepted, is it truly insanity anymore?

    • @twdarkflame
      @twdarkflame 10 років тому +2

      ***** But thats kinda the point - each time you use a controversy or "shock" plot it gets less effective. You have to save them else they will lose their power. Id argue thats happening with deadpools overuse atm.
      I disagree with your last point a bit, mind. People get upset when the status quo changes..when there is real "new".....but it can also lead to a permanent increase in sales. Unexplored scenarios, genuine cliffhangers...by knowing change is possible, story's can be a bit more gripping.
      Sales of Suppiour Spider-man have been 20,000 each issue higher then Amazing was for a year now. Sometimes big changes have financial rewards - comic book company's just need to be brave occasionally.
      (That said, of course, the more "new" stuff exists outside of marvel/dc what Waid is doing on Thrillbent.com for example.)

    Brandon Sanderson has said some interesting things about magic systems ("magic system" being a broad enough term that "super powers" falls into it.) about how you can either have magic be wonderous or it can be a satisfying way to resolve or advance story elements. It's tends to be good at one thing or the other, and the determining factor is a system with a lot of details and rules is good for the later and not for the former.
    What Stan Lee is advocating here is basically writing superpowers in such a way that they serve the former purpose, but the tendency in comics is to use them extensively for the later purpose.
    This generates weirdly unsatisfying events in comics.

I’m standing there telling people do you know who that is??? They go No, who is he? I go that is Stan Lee!!! People are like who is that guy? I stated you would not be standing in his building right now if it wasn’t for that guy. They all wanted to meet Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane etc.

      The thing is, fiction often is not about 'what' but 'how'.
      The willing suspension of disbelief is not a set in stone thing made to get "realistic" results but to make a story compelling.
      Obviously if I make for example a tale where Puppetmon beats Machinedramon by just fighting head-to-head would look too absurd, but the magic is "how", not the result. What I could do is that this specific Puppetmon instead of an attack head front would rather try to avoid attacks of Heavy artillery and then start ripping the visible wires outside of the body of Machinedramon. I'm not "power leveling" the fight, I'm creating an outcome using creativity and understanding the characters, of course it still feels odd how would you play that, but again assuming there's not merely a single Puppetmon or Machinedramon (Digimon after all is about numerous creatures and they can be used in different ways depending the show, incarnation and ruleset), I could simply make either a hacked Machinedramon somewhat weakened or a much more cunning Puppetmon, whatever works for the plot.

    I always come back to this video whenever there's someone argue about some argument who would win vs who.

      Yes, and still people doing it. And you know why? They just don't give a fuck over this overused and outdated statement, simple. It's not even based on other media/verde by the way, because not every writer around the world thinks like Stan..

      ​@@andreavisco2637 not really people can have opinion on who wins
      So there no true winner or true loser
      Between fiction characters

    Yup. Who would win? is as bonehead a question as is How does Superman fly? He flies because the writer wants him to fly.
    'Nuff said. ;-)

    I physically cringe whenever i see people arguing which fictional characters from different books will win in a non canonical fight. Those characters aren't real and will not decide by themselves.

    Remember kids: Superman can move faster than light and hear stuff happening at the other side of the galaxy, but Lois always ends up getting kidnapped. Why? Because the script says so!
