@jayc1324: Of course writers dont give a rats ass about things like consistency and feats! Lets face it , a comic where say all Diana did was bench a planet, then run a few times across the planet at FTL before skinny dipping in the heart of sun, would be pretty boring.
Things like that do not sell at all and lead to a poorer quality of stories. heck DC had the original crisis just to get rid of all the OPd Silver age characters. People dont want to read about blandity bland jurgens writing yet another fist fight between Superman and Doomsday. They want Millers Batman beating the shit out of superman in TDKR!
Thats what makes for a good story, and more imporantly for comics, thats what sells
So should we just then ignore these forums and things like feats and consistency and whatnot? because lets face it , its all fiction. if the writer wants batman to beat superman, he WILL beat superman. so why dont we all abandon to battle forums and just say " since its all fiction, and the writer can write anything he wants, anything is possible. ergo my favourite character beats yours! "
why dont we just do that? because thats no fun. that just leads to hundreds of pages of people saying their favourite character wins. Instead we like to do things like pretend things like " feats" and " consistency" and PIS actually exist
In reality, they dont. at all. they are just tools to set up the platform for a debate and not a metaphorical shouting match. They provide certain standards to follow and at least attempt to reach a decision based on logic , of some kind
Why do we do it? Because its more fun than just saying character X wins.
Ultimately of course , you could just say none of that matters, since in an actual comic, batman would never lose to say Rick Tyler using the serum, simply because he is a B lister , regardless of feats or anything, so the writer is going to write whatever he wants and *that* would be what happens in actual comics instead of her endless comments on feats and whatnot, shouting PIS etc
so you can say, that feats and stuff dont matter. but that would just make for a boring and unsatisfactory debate, wouldnt you agree?
@the_red_viper: i already mentioned that, didnt I? She also broke Hal's shields in JL. Still doesnt change the fact that she doesnt have *feats* to show she can break hals shields ...except when breaking them of course
