Wait.... so.. yyyyou HAVE heard that before? What is that a common occurance or something?
Not really taking sides between you two, but you should really work on your comebacks before you give your poor mom a bad reputation. 😬
In any case, Blade lifting that demon was hardly an impressive feat for the aforementioned reasons:
The Reaper was changing sizes all throughout the issue, sure AT TIMES he looked to be HUGE in comparison to other humanoids, but in others including in the panel in which Blade lifted him he wasn't much larger than Blade himself.
That could be the byproduct of bad art, or it could be a constantly changing demon god... who knows?
Furthermore, most of his mass comes from his tenticals/lower "body" which could concievably have less density or mass than say... legs?
Who knows? And that's just the whole point, no one does, it's an ambiguous as hell feat and the first thing we constantly have to remind people about when a Blade strength pissing contest starts being brought up.
By way of feats (Note: NOT SPECULATION) Blade's weaker than Paladin, and no, lifting the Reaper over his head and struggling to do it even as it was disintegrating away in no way even remotely compares to Paladin lifting up a full sized train car.
Finally, Paladin fighting Shang Chi, I think Chi admitted that his advantage was only able to be pressed after he landed his blindsiding attack on Paladin's back.
How anyone can look at Paladin taking Cap to school and STILL somehow come to the insane conclusion that it isn't impressive is completely beyond me. 😬
