Warning Denning on Darth Caedus or Darth Krayt vs Luke Skywalker

Troy Denning is the author responsible for Invincible and Apocalypse, among many other works.

Q: Hey Mr. Denning, I'm currently reading "Invincible" and have a question: who is closer to Luke in power, Caedus or Krayt?

A: That's kind of like asking whether Bruce Lee or Royce Gracie could take Von Damme. (;

---

So, while obviously an indirect answer, it seems Krayt and Caedus are *a lot* closer to each other than Luke.

I know nothing about Van Damme or Royce Gracie though, so I might be reading this completely wrong. Thoughts?

Van Damme was not only a martial artist but a film director, an actor, a screen writer and film producer so I think what he might be getting at there is that while Caedus or Krayt might be able to match him in some areas it doesn't matter because Luke is a master of multiple other arts entirely.

Could be misinterpreting that though.

Wasn't Bruce Lee also all of those things though? confused

I don't think that's the direction he's getting at there.

Was he? Not very knowledgable on Bruce Lee.

*Shrug*

The guy's being vague either way.

Yeah, Lee was a famous actor. I never even heard of Van, but Lee's with Norris. wink

He's obviously being vague, but I feel he did give a legitimate answer in his response.

What the answer actually was though is the question.

Royce Gracie is a MMA legend, Bruce Lee and Van are actors, not top-tier fighters.

I honestly have no idea what Troy is tryna say here.

I think we're thinking too much into it.

He's pitting Van with Luke, Lee with Caedus, and Gracie with Krayt.

The way he words his response seems to convey the notion Van would definitely win - and it wouldn't even be a question.

Of course this is his personal opinion, hence the winky face.

But the truth we can take from it is that Denning considers Caedus and Krayt roughly interchangeable, but Luke on another level.

Now the question is: Do we scale Caedus up because of how high most people have Krayt? Or scale Krayt down cuz Caedus was debunked and totes suckz.

The answer is rather nonsensical.

What do we learn after that and Tahiri's pedophilia?
Denninh has problems.

Yes. Wredd has better feats than he has.
Aurra = Wredd > Krayt = Caedus.

Actually that answer is surprisingly accurate.

Bruce Lee and Van Damme are just paper tigers, dilletantes who never seriously competed, who were turned into legends because of legions of dumb fans.

Gracie(i.e. Krayt) is a serious martial artist and was in his day one of the top fighters in the world.

I think his response is getting at the fact that the question is inherently hard to answer and somewhat childish.

Like who would win, a ninja, a Navy SEAL or a Spartan?

Which is the better car, a Ferrari, a Hummer or a Rolls Royce?

The way he phrased it suggests to me that there's no way of really knowing, because all three are legends in their field and have never (and will never) meet in the ring. Meaning he doesn't necessarily even have Luke above them.

Specifically though, Gracie made massive innovations in his field while the other two spent less time competing and more time acting. If we interpret it that way, which I don't think it makes sense, he would be suggesting Krayt is better than both of them.
