          But that's literally the only blow Huntress manages to land in the entire fight, the rest of it is Shiva beating the shit out of her, and that was with Shiva being reluctant to fight but doing so out of a sense of duty.

        This was before Xavier fricked with his power but he's been generally weakened since his revival from spreading himself thin by maintaining a massive pocket dimension in the astral realm and the recent revival by the Krakoa method making the voices quieter. Even then Uranos just "won" the fight by claiming he could stalemate David long enough for his machines to kill everyone else.

      The Penance Stare, specifically; does its thing to people who have specifically harmed the innocent. Frank tends to reserve the harm he gives out for the decidedly Non-Innocent. Penance Stare jobbing to Him at least, makes a degree of sense along with most Superheroes. and heck, Conan.
      Venom makes less sense. He could check out with "He's paid his penance and became a hero" passing muster.
      Carnage makes none at all.
      Thanos is insulting but obnoxiously on brand.

        I think a good fix for the Stare is to make it a sure kill finishing move with Ghost Rider having to physically hold down the victim and maintain eye contact for a while so he'd have to actually win the fight to finish them off and makes certain villains hard/impossible to pin down due to just being too goddamn strong and ban all writers from making characters tank it beyond "never harmed an innocent"

              Ultimately, even the most competent writer must have characters forget how their powers work when dealing with capeshit. There are just too many established characters who should reasonably be able to resolve whatever the current plot is immediately, to say nothing of all-purpose i-win characters like reality warpers.

                Be that as it may, when you've spent months building up to a battle that your readers are hyped up to see, you need to meet expectations and deliver, not cop out with something like that Storm vs Vulcan fight. Also there's an important difference between characters forgetting some of their abilities in a story and the writer literally getting the nature of their powers wrong in order to make their defeat work.

                I agree, and many fights are pretty disappointing because characters should reasonably be doing something more effective but simply aren't by writerly fiat. Getting a power wrong is especially annoying, though in fairness a lot of superpowers are "wrong" in that they don't behave how their claimed effects would actually work and are really just different-colored magic.

Complaining about this Thor death is like complaining about Wolverine getting tricked into killing all of the X-Men in the same timeline by insisting how many of them should be able to beat him. It's just one of those stories where most of the heroes have been killed off. If you don't like those stories, just don't read it, but don't complain about the deaths like they're canon jobbing from the main continuity.

                My point is that it's an AU. There's no point to getting angry about character deaths or defeats in an AU like that. It's like posting deaths from Injustice, or from some random issue of What If? where everyone jobs. It's just not the same thing as the main canon.

          I honestly forget the author's exact words, but I think it just means that Black Panther is so full of himself that he thinks his trick will work and an armbar is enough to stop the Surfer, and the Surfer's going along with it so that Panther will let something slip - like reveal information the Surfer wants.

          Since Surfer doesn't immediately just power out of it Black Panther thinks his super black hax work.

          It was just really stupid and I think the author realized that but couldn't admit "yeah that wasn't my best idea, sorry guys" but instead he went "black rage! black rage! i hate every comic-reading rayciss honkey deyuh iz!"

            This would have been avoided by giving speedsters the weakness of only having slow motion reflexes when they are calm and focused or running, and these reflexes taking some seconds to activate. But for some reason comic writers are generally allergic to giving weaknesses to their characters

              Anonymous

              Superspeed should have limitations but for some odd reason, writers don't want to give them any weaknesses. Having realistic weaknesses to me is cool because then speedsters have to be more creative and prepare to use their powers.

              For example, I always thought it would cool if a speedster had similar problem to tiger beetles. Tiger beetles run so fast they temporarily blind themselves. When moving at up to 120 body lengths per second, their environment becomes a blur as their eyes can't gather enough light to form an image.

              I always thought that was s cool limitation for speedsters that they move so fast, their mind actually can't keep with the speed, forcing them to either stop and realize how fast and far or going at certain times, or calculate the distance and speed they're going before they act, and only going one direction to do so.

    Don't most speedsters fall into this category? They can literally kill most people in hundred different ways before they have time to react because most of them move at the speed of light aka the speed of information/data or faster, yet they act surprised at characters who don't have their power or can cancel it as if their perception is WAY slower than their peak speed and this gets exploited,

    For example, characters throwing marbles at the floor or setting up object in the way of the speedsters, and the speedster character either gets hit by the object or trips, even though their powerset should make them able to perceive time way slower than normal and should avoid those kinds of incidents.

            Meaningless statement. During that same era, writers claimed Vulcan was beyond Omega Level Mutant and potentially more powerful than Galactus. Writers love to talk out of their asses to wank off a character and portray them as a creditable threat.

            The same Zarathos that lost to Mephisto?! The same Mephisto that always loses to Doctor Strange, Hulk, Thor, and etc when they fought?! Zarathos is powerful, but he isn't that powerful.

        Here you go. I think the worst part of this is how it was only a thing during this fight. Vulcan is arguably more bullshit than every turning off people's power at will when he fought Tarn and attacked the Shi-ar. But against Storm its just fire spam. Plus he of all people gets accused of not being creative with his powers.

        Edit where she was turned around. But otherwise, really no context but Cho being Cho.

        That's Ultron, but took over Tony... and decided to look like Janet van Dyne or something? It was a terrible arc.

      Would You elaborate about Wiccan power and weakness? I gotta agree Marvel has a lot of reality warpers

      This doesn't look like jobbing, yes magicians can be really OP but at the end of the day most of them are glass cannons, you can kill a human magician with a shotgun if you catch them off guard

      [...]
      I... Like that
      At least the idea of 5d imps bending characters and abilities to make batwank real, because they're the embodiment of readers (like what myx's son did)

      I didn't like how imps went from being goofy toon force creatures that didn't take anything seriously to being generic reality warpers that fear other warpers.

    Every time a reality warping villain jobs to a bunch of non warpers (or worse just one), warpers usually have negative IQ because their best plan to fight a hero is usually doing a bunch of bullshit attacks that can be dodged by the heroes instead of just blink them out of existence, also even if the heroes have reality warping resistence for some reason the warper can do something like turning the floor to liquid or reverse the gravity to defeat the non flying characters, changing the atmosphere composition to defeat the characters that need to breath and so on.
    Also why the frick do entities that can virtually do anything decide to have a "true body" instead of wishing "being everywhere", that could have save the ass of multiple event villains.

      Reality manipulation is basically the capeshit power that capeshit writers give to a capeshit character because the capeshit writer is unimaginative and wanted his capeshit character to the the most powerful. What it does instead of doom that capeshit character with reality manipulation to a life a mediocrity and irrelevants where the capeshit character with reality manipulation exists only as a plot device and never do anything meaningful nor contributing to the story.

      Just look at majority of the mutants with reality manipulation, utterly irrelevant. Usually removed from the ongoing conflict so that there is actual drama and the character doesn't instantly resolve the conflict.

        The simple solution is to do what they do with Wiccan and have his variable competence be an in-universe problem so he can work as a normal wizard character until the plot is ready for him to solve it with hax. Not the ultra morono Tini headcanons like has fricking MP or some such shit.

    Eh, Ora Serrata losing to Uranos isn't really jobbing. Remember, Uranos is an Eternal; a creation of the Celestials (the god-like beings that created reality itself). It's totally within the realm of reason that he'd have some built-in anti-reality warping frickery.

            It would have been more enjoyable if he just died, but Ewing couldn't even do that right, he kept fighting without a heart and then made an awful OOC speech before he finally died.
