“bro spiderman small building level lol”
“nah, naruto ez scale to multiversal”
The above is essentially every power scaling debate. If you don’t know what powerscaling is or your brain was just fried from what you just read, let me explain:
‘Powerscaling is basically when it’s measured how powerful a fictional thing is. Sounds simple, right? Well, you’d actually be right, because it’s just that dumb. Powerscaling is usually used when comparing two characters in a fight, among other things. Powerscaling generally works like this;
“Character X can punch an entire city into rubble, so he’s clearly city-level.”
The “level” parts are usually preceded by some word like “city” or “planet” as a measure of some characters actual power, which is where the problem arises.
See, the issue is that powerscaling isn’t accurate (at all) because of this grading/“leveling” system. It only measures a characters destructive power, which is incredibly annoying when comparing two characters’s power levels. For example, character A is stronger than character B, but character B has the power to weaken any enemy. IF we only measured character A’s strength, you’d think they’d come out on top. (they don’t, lol!) This is sometimes acknowledged, though, so I’ll use another example:
Bob punches Superman, who beat reality benders, meaning Bob is as strong as reality benders. He then fights a reality bender and proceeds to get wiped from existence. See, Superman didn’t beat the reality benders by just punching them super-hard or shooting laser beams to beat them, he used thinking and other tools to beat them. Context is almost never acknowledged in powerscaling or any other factors and it’s just like “this guy win cuz he paunch planet.”
In conclusion;
powerscaling is trash, gg.
