Exar Kun vs. Darth Nihilus

Burning to death =\= disintegrated, it's pretty ****ing simple 🙂

Also I doubt it was damaged enough to just fall apart instantly like a stack of cards, lol. Merely that it couldn't operate as a ship with breaking up or everyone dying.

So it isn't as impressive as it's being cast as.

Kun's beams are obliterating everything they touch, the after effects are fire, some likely died in fire, anything directly hit, whatever it was, was annihilated.

Pretty ****ing simple. 🙂

The fact the Republic's canons don't blow it apart, or that the pressure inside the ship doesn't destroy it from within, shows that it's really being held together by more than his will, TBH.

So you're back-pedalling to "some of them were disintegrated" instead of thousands.

Cool 🙂

Yeah.

There are thousands there, i'm backpedaling on nothing.

His blasts were disintegrating everything they touched and the evident damage implies the entire place was hit to some degree by his projections.

The fact that is your lone reply, shows how weak an argument you have.

Because Neph is literally slaughtering your argument, while you ignore half his posts 😬

I'm on my phone, and I'm not even needed here. I'm just enjoying the spectacle 🙂

Neph has proven nothing, except claim thousands of Massassi run faster than beams of energy.

Please continue making no relevant contributions.

Even taking into account that Nihilus was weakened when facing the Exile, the fact she pretty much wrecked him as sourcebooks suggest, still puts him far below the margin for dealing with that kind of destructive potency.

Actually, even as weakened as he was, they weren't wrecking him. There are two dialogues in the middle of the fight, in which Visas sounds exhausted and she says that he is too powerful and that she doesn't know if she can keep going. The dialogue shows the words with '...' in between sentences, to emphasize her level of exhaustion, as if to point out she was out of breath. When Surik responds, it's noticeable that Surik's sentences also have '...' in between them, which demonstrated she was also pushing herself to the limit and could barely keep up with Nihilus.

So no, they certainly did not wreck him.

Did you care to even notice the giant plumes of flame in the background? Or the large holes in the aftermath, when Kun returns to find the Corsair and Sadow's storehouse?

The entire stand is billowing with flame, how the hell is the stand covered in shadow if it is on fire? Basic logic Neph.

How exactly are thousands of Massassi leaving in the minute or so he was projecting his blast? The flames are logically lighting up the stands which have been charred black and the only Massassi remaining are a dozen in the pit with him. It literally says in text that he was killing more and more of them with each blast. Everything he hit with his blast was obliterated, including chunks of the Temple.

A massed swarm of Massassi aren't running out of that temple faster than Kun's blasts are setting the stands on fire.

You're acting as if this is somehow a massive bogus claim when we literally see him disintegrating everything his blasts touch, be it temple wall, Massassi, or a massive piece of the Sith wyrm.

Whats your point? I haven't disputed that his blasts caused damage. He just obviously didn't disintegrate everyone there like you're idiotically claiming.

Artistic license. How does the Wyrm have shadows underneath it despite there being a huge fire right next to them? How is that cross in shadow despite being literally on fire? Why are there any shadows at all near those giant pillars of light? How is Kun blacked with shadow when surrounded by fire? Don't expect realism in comics, its a simple stylistic choice. Half that page is black, lol.

Through doors I imagine. If Exar Kun had blasted enough to disintegrate everyone on the stands like you say there would have been a lot more destruction. That he killed some of them doesn't mean he killed all of them. That's stupid, like this entire gross extrapolation.

Kun didn't fire enough blasts to kill them all of scorch the entirety of the stands. They obviously just fled the temple during the fight. They could easily manage it. We have no clue of the time frame either, since its a comic.

It is a bogus claim. We don't really see Kun disintegrate anyone. The Massassi are consumed by his blasts, but no confirmation of disintegration I believe. In fact pretty sure you can see some bodies, lol. Kun destroys things with his blast, yes, but that doesn't mean he destroys everything with his blasts. No flipping way did he cause that much damage. This is just another of your insane claims that make no sense.

Faster than Exar Kun can fire a blast at every point in the temple, sure. 👆

I never claimed he destroyed literally everything there, I stated his beams have disintregated what could amount to thousands. There is no discussion about it, nitpicking the ****ing feat and calling me nuts doesn't make your rebuttal any more relevant. There were thousands of Massassi, he caused severe damage to the entire area as is seen when Exar Kun returns. There are massive blast marks and holes all over it, he clearly killed a ridiculous amount considering the widespread damage and the fact he literally blasted the Wyrm in two and completely engulfed multiple Massassi with each blast. As is reinforced by the text.

Unless you have anything bar nitpicking the feat and making infantile remarks about my opinions then just shut up. Because frankly half the shit you have made up for Darth Bane makes anything I've claimed ****ing textbook.

@AncientPower

The scans you posted do not corroborate some of your claims.

Kun. Traya said that even at his peak Nihilus would only rival some of the ancient Sith.

Quote? Also Traya's mental capacities are... questionable...

Funny, seems pretty conclusive to me.

Thousands of Massassi were jampacked in the Temple of Fire, Exar Kun was blasting uncontrollably in multiple directions. The most conservative eyes still can't dismiss the idea that he hit hundreds, given the sheer magnitude of the blasts and the swarmed masses attending the ritual when Kun's projections began.

Given the amount of sheer extensive damage on display the casualties of the Massassi could've easily skyrocketed.

Exar Kuns gauntlets also destroyed the Massassi temple walls which tanked Super Star destroyer full powered turbolaser blasts which can destroy countries and continents in one hit.

Ancient Sith is just a catch all term for everything up to Tales of the Jedi.

I wasn't referencing any ship bombings from TOTJ. I was referencing when Daala bombed the Yavin temples with her Super Star Destroyer, the blasts were being seen from orbit but when they hit the Masassi temples all they did was leave scorched marks.
