Because DC fags are a bunch of annoying cunts

Because it's incredibly reductive, if you watch real life combat sports for any length of time you see that fights aren't just A>B, B>C so A>C. Styles make fights, always have and always will.

My favorite character is Time Breaker Bardock, because STRONG!!!

>"Muh reduction!'
Powerscalers take all of that shit into account. But it seems like you're just crying because of some characters getting power cliffed.

it should be three dots in a triangle in place of the equal sign.

Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real. Kids understand that real crabs don't sing like the ones in l The Little Mermaid. But you give an adult fiction, and the adult starts asking really fucking dumb questions like `who flies higher? Who shoots faster? Who is stronger?'
it's a fucking made-up story, you idiot!
do not imitate adults, Jimbo

Yeah, I’m sure style would make the difference between a planet buster and a galaxy buster

It’s japanese so it’s right to left, right?

yes.

No

True.

Because power levels aren't consistent, See Firelord vs Spider-Man

Power levels is referring to the system made by DBZ. The actual term is power scaling.

Because it's stupid bullshit that doesn't matter, but retards treat it like it's the only value a character or a story has.

I always called it power creep

I always called it retarded nonsense.

Shit is boring and autistic.

It should also be noted that Dragonball Z, the codifier for all stupid power scaling bullshit, did actually address this at one point. During the Cell saga, the heroes found a way to boost their power (and by extension their power level) to match Perfect Cell's, thus in theory providing them an advantage. However, the method to expand their power level also made them bulkier, and therefore they lost a lot of speed in the process, so while they were technically stronger, they were also so slow they were practically useless in a fight.

>patrick's the slowest, laziest member of the cast
>therefore, everyone in the spongebob verse is at least MFTL
that's why scaling's retarded

power levels are a part of world building and world consistancy. it's just like made-up locations and character traits and/or personalitys as well as relationship dynamics.

wolverine beating thor or silver surfer with pure raw power is the same as wakanda being in russia, spider-man suddenly having black hair, a super skateboard and a gun that shoot venom bullets as well as danny rand and luke cage switching girlfriends and them being perfectly fine with it. its retarded and pulls me out of your story. it happens but you shouldn't accept it as the norm. mind you think doesn't mean someone weaker cannot beat someone stronger but it's an exception. Merry killed the nazgul king, but this does not mean Merry is stronger then Aragorn or Gandalf just because he was able to defeat him.

>inb4 "its just a story, its all made up"
then superman can become a member of house Griffindor and merge them with the avengers because its all made up bullshit. he then destroys Dr.Doom with his mind bullets, grows giant and lives ontop of the sun waiting his greatest nemisis, megatron.

there, I just made your new fantastic four comic. isn't it great?

power scaling is only interesting when it doesnt involve planet/galaxy busters or FTL memes

This.

Power scaling is what give cohesion to a narrative involving any type of magic or combat.

I mean if it's well written, sure.

Anything beyond the most basic of "this is another entire order of magnitude, so no, you can't" is stupid wankery, much like trying to talk about how taxes work in your made up location, deciding your chracter's favorite type of sushi, and telling the reader how Jimmy feels about Pa Kent's great uncle.

Reed can beat Galactus.

Sue can beat Reed.

Sue can beat Galactus?

The answer is always Jagganoth.

It's not because of power levels themselves but what writers and fans do with them. As said it's important for consistency and avoiding plot holes but writers tend to derail stories a lot of the time into a dick measuring contest for bs reasons often making their pet characters better than they should be or otherwise poorly handling the concept of 'power'. Fans then adopt this poor attitude by valuing characters who are stronger better and faster etc, whether it be because they self insert and want to put everyone else down or otherwise be an autistic nuisance in the male equivalent to shipping. Shipping and powerscaling are comparable occurrences even if they're not exactly the same so just ask yourself why shipping can be hated and it's basically for the same reasons; delusional retards and derailment of fandoms and stories.

What I'm taking away from this is that Sue should stop beating her husband.

Coming soon to a theater near you, with Idris Elba as Superman.

Not really stupid if they shown to be comparable or faster than him then they scale no issues there
Comes down to consistency

>Tries to make a point about how power levels are important
>Goes on to just mix brands randomly as if that's relevant at all.
That's a bad analogy.

In the case of batman it's because CEOs can do all their daily work in the span of an hour and then take a week's vacation.
