That if he spoke, he'd bring down Wakanda around them, around them. I know that he can guide his whispers pretty decently, but I didn't know that he could guide a full scream.
bb has awesome control over his energy powers. he probably could bring down wakanda if he allowed his power to just run out of control.
For the record, Sentry wasn't even within his range of vision when Black Bolt whispered in Silent War. Yet he felt a huge amount of pressure.
i suppose it depends on what kind of eefect bb is going for. he was fighting shoulder to shoulder with cyclops and the x-men and using his voice, and none of them were affected at all. 😬
So even when he directed it, those around could still hear it.
if he WANTS them to.
Which is why I thought he would hold back, Medusa was standing close to him. If a whisper is enough to do what we saw in Silent War, shouldn't a scream kill Medusa?
easily. if he WANTED it to. 🙂
I suppose it's feasible that Hulk absorbed ALL of it, since he was so close to him but I still think it's a bit unlikely that a whisper affects all those around him when a scream doesn't.
i'd say it was all DIRECTED at hulk, as opposed to saying it was ABSORBED by hulk.
I used Nate Grey as an example to show that it wasn't such an incredibly big deal if Hulk did shake a dimension with his punch.
we'll disagree there. the 616 is a dimension. i'm not sure the relative size of the dimension hulk shook, but a dimension is . . . pretty large. 😬
Although that's not really a durability feat, now is it? I don't see how that's relevant when discussing whether or not Hulk would've survived Black Bolt's scream.
i never brought it up in regards to durability. i brought it up to say that hulk's power is pretty impressive and his strength feats are>than bb's voice feats. hulk also has some pretty crazy durability feats though. which reminds me -- the high evolutionary has tried matter manip on hulk as well in the past and it failed completely. he simply couldn't do it. so who's to say even if bb DID try the matter manip it would work? 😬
Hulk grabbing Black Bolt's antenna? 😂
i DID sorta bring it up in jest, but if he was close enough (and they appeared to be fighting in close) there really is no reason why hulk couldn't grab it. damaging the antenna has always been very bad for bb.
the other thing in this whole thing is this: we never saw the actual battle, so we're commenting basically on a couple scans and the result. perhaps when the full battle is shown (if) things will make more sense?
anyway, an interesting debate. you're of course welcome to your opinion. i personally just don't see much wrong with how this turned out.
