Saying it was PIS is a stretch, especially since I've never seen a defenseless FL take a city-busting blast (or greater) and be conscious. He just doesn't have that kind of showing.
And as for the reflex thing, there's a huge difference between travel speed and reaction time.
Say you threw 100 daggers simultaneously at Spidey and Surfer, and asked them to catch as many as possible. I legitimately think SM would catch more. I don't see FL not being able to hit him in H2H combat as PIS....not at all.
...
Was the fight still a strech? Sure. But a low-ish showing from FL combined with a high-ish showing from Spidey (and yes, he was tired afterward), and FL refusing to use his nova blast, and it's not an illogical outcome.
Does this not contridict the entire fight? Why didn't he absorb the energy from the gas station?
Subway:
Does Drax not hit harder than a subway?
Gas Station:
Does Surfer not dish out more damage than a gas station exploding, in almost... everyone of his blasts? Surfer's are more concentrated, but just because of the size, that doesn't mean that they are weaker.
Getting punched by Spidey:
😐
City busting blast? What? It only destroyed a block. Anyway, does Surfer not put out more energy than destroying a block?
An exploding gas station...
I also know that those ships in Annihilation were way bigger than blocks...
I know about the travel speed and such, but Firelord still reacts to people like Morg, Surfer, etc.
Surfer wouldn't have to move at all... also, Surfer would probably catch them all... nano second reflexes.
Pis then?
Just because he refused to use a blast, doesn't mean that that makes it reasonable for him to get his ass kicked the way he did.
It doesn't negate his duribility after all.
