Do you seriously not see they're trolling you for laughs?

It's like you're showing how well you did, or how you could have been right. It's alright though, no one wants a bad showing without an excuse. Won't hold it against you.
blocking bullets is more about the person's speed/reflexes, not so much about how skilled they are with a sword. This isn't a fight, it's a ranking of who has the most swordfighting ability. If we do it like the MA thread and take away points based on powerset... Batman, Ras and Logan are all more skilled with a sword that Blade and Deadpool.
Originally posted by srankmissingnintime slowing isn't a metaphor, it's a statement of fact, in order to move and react quickly you must be able to perceive the world slower, much like captain america. You're discounting the narrator to prove your point being that Blade is barely superhuman so he can't be that fast. Enough of your bias.
😆You're ridiculous. It's a poem, a verse of exaggerated exposition. Take an English lit class or something.
Apparently I'm racist now, because I know that a verse of poetry isn't a concrete statement? Guess what (spoilers btw) Blade isn't death either, and Spider-man isn't a demon... all things said in the bards narrative poetry. 😱
As for the topic at hand, what have Batman and Wolverine done with a sword?

Originally posted by srankmissingninthe hyperbole being that time stops for all but blade, however what it correlates to is the world slowing down for Blade (how he perceives it) not just Blade starts moving fast
