Except he didn't. That's what the recap says.Don't tell me you didn't read that . Do I need to put some reading glasses there?
Originally posted by CogitoUh, no, not necessarily.
A massive energy discharge is an action (a verb), and not an effect (a noun) 👆
You can have electrical discharge, bodily discharge, etc. Edit: Which, to specify, are nouns.
In this sense, 'discharge' is synonymous with 'blast' 👆
Originally posted by darthgooberIf the intended and sole outcome of a blast that large is a black hole, why call it a side effect, and not a direct effect of Surfer's intentions when creating a 'blast that big' [it's in '', because it's retarded, but that's another part of the discussion]
It's a side effect of a blast that big. When people use "side effect" they're not commenting on Surfer's intent, they're commenting on the result of a blast that large.

So the primary effect of the massive energy discharge is what, if the side effect is the black hole?
Anyways, he intended to cause an explosion that would bring about a blackhole as a consequence.

Nonsense.
Point out where that big explosion was wise guy?
The debris are sucked in not flying outwards.

Did he now? Why wasn't it mentioned on the recap?
They should have just mentioned he 'generated' a big explosion.

Originally posted by SmurphSo when he discharged the blast, the purpose was to create a black hole. If the effect of his action was a black hole [which you call side-effect], what was the primary effect?
Anyways, he intended to cause an explosion that would bring about a blackhole as a consequence.
I'd also like you to expand on how this is a 'roundabout way', how do you define direct way, and why the 'roundabout way' is more impressive. All of which you've dodge, by the way.

Originally posted by darthgooberIntent is never mentioned in the definition? Goober, goober, why are you lying like this?
Because no one wants to type that damn much every time they bring up the feat when there's nothing expressly wrong with using "side effect"(as Smurph pointed out, intent is never mentioned in the definition) and people understand what's being said when the term is used.

any effect of a drug, chemical, or other medicine that is in addition to its intended effect

: a result of an action that is not expected or intended
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...ish/side-effect
quote:
an unpleasant effect of a drug that happens in addition to the main effect
The end-result that Surfer wanted was to have a black hole. His energy discharge was to reach that purpose. Thus the main effect of his action was the black hole. It was expected and it was intended - by definition it's not a side-effect. There is no 'side effect'.
