Pre-Retcon Beyonder vs. Living Tribunal AND Eternity

Started by King Kandy12 pages

I suppose, but that's not exactly the same thing. The PC characters are actually different incarnations of the character then the modern versions, not just "the character if we chop off everything that happened after x point".

Classic Dr. Strange would count, I guess.

There are a lot of characters who have no place in versus threads.

Beyonder
Mxy
CA Supeman
Mandrakk
Thanos /w/ HOTI
Etc.

Any threads with the above characters almost always get closed. 👇

I think plenty of those characters could be debatable if people took a more level headed approach. But for instance, in any thread w/ Mandrakk, suggestions that he lose are usually met with "you obviously just didn't read/understand final crisis" which is a pretty blatant fallacy.

People not seeing the difference between the two versions of Mandrakk is asinine though.

I'm talking about Mandrakk 1.

Yes, and I can't say how many times I've seen people suggest that a GL stake could kill Mandrakk V1

OK, but that's really not relevant to what I was saying, other than it shows that neither side are debating particularly well.

Debatable to an extent. But if you have two omnipotent characters fighting one another, then you will never get anything more than a stalemate in the end (which is why those types of threads tend to annoy me.)

As for the Mandrakk stuff: I do think you need to have a thorough understanding of the Superman Beyond books, if you are to understand exactly what he is/was, and debate intelligently in a thread he is involved in. After all, a mini as complex as SB needs to be read quite a few times before you begin to grasp everything that is going on in it (something not everyone has done)... But I do understand what you're saying.

^ I myself had to read two/three annotations/reviews before I got a good grasp of a lot of the concepts and ideas involved.

I will add to Your List :
Presence and all its manifestations/aspects ( could be far better for DC to never created such Judeo-Christian corelated Cosmology)
Mother Of Existence
The Endless

So did I. Moorcock's Multiverse was the only other series I've had to do that with.

Out of all characters so powerful such as Mxy, LT, Protege, Mandrakk... PR Beyonder tops them all.

Even such powerful characters couldn't even challenge him.

^ That, again, is only your opinion.

I don't think here is the case about opinions. It simply is.
PR Beyonder is simply in his own class.

Ah-ah-ah, Galan, it's also Mr Master's opinion.

Ergo it must be fact. dur

Oh, don't even start.

It is what it is.

Making unequivocal statements without backing things up is usually the short way to sounding like an ass.

'It simply is' your opinion. Nothing more.

It was backed so many times, it's not necessary.
You really think it's necessary or you just never read or heard about PR Beyonder?
