it's because anyone who debates against speed has nothing of substance to stand on. in a forum setting it is inarguable. the only fall back anyone has is to point at comics and say--"look, he's been hit!"
but that argument is faulty at the most basic level--this setting is NOT a comic book so when they point to one as proof of something like flash can be hit by hulk because, well, flash gets hit in comics all the time! it just shows clearly their lack of understanding of the forum.
tbh, i think discussions would be a lot better if the premise we operated under in the forum was "how do you think a fight in a comic would go between (insert characters)?" that way, in a fight like thor vs superman, we wouldn't NEED to add stips to make it a discussion. in a comic, pis is implied. in a comic thor/superman would be (and was) pretty awesome. we wouldn't need to worry about thor being a statue to superman. i've come to realize the forum is a weird place--we are here to debate comic characters, and to do so, we....remove them from the comics? seems kinda backwards to me. so many debates get hung up on pis. i mean people frequently debate whether something is or isn't pis! if it happens all the time is it pis? well, yeah, technically it still is. it's just that writers don't have a logical way around avoiding it if they want to make the books fun and interesting. i mean no matter how many times batman punches reverse flash (as happened not too long ago), it IS pis.
i think from now on, when i make threads, i'm going with the stip that the battle takes place IN a comic book. tell me who would win and how they would win if it were in a comic. i wonder if the discussions would be different from some of this typical nonsense from the usual crowd. /shrug

Correct but somehow darksaint believes his opinion overrides facts. Poster induced stupidity.

😂Seriously the arguments on the forums wouldn't be so ludicrous if people actually sticked with the "reality" of comic books.
