“Instead of pursuing the Anti-Life Equation, he’s embracing this role as the ender,” Snyder revealed. “He hits you with his beams, and your entire story, your past, your existence — all of it is erased. He becomes far more dangerous.”
And “huge Darkseid Omega Galactus-level villain” Darkseid is probably the most Snyder thing Snyder ever said in a long time

Yeah, Darkseid will probably be top 5 in all of DC once the story is done.

Scott. throughout your Batman run, the Joker has had such a prime role and in a sense, he’s defined Batman. Does Darkseid define a specific hero for you? Is he an actual villain at the end of this evolution or more of a force of nature/natural disaster? He seems to have the ability to almost be the most transcendent character in the DC universe.Scott Snyder – Yeah, that’s a great comment and question. I haven’t worked with Darkseid in a big way before this, so for me, I think a lot of the fun was really going back and getting to read a lot of the original 4th World stuff and then take a look at the ways in which he’s been employed in the last like 10 to 15 years, So, his counterpoint to me, is the entire DCU, is life in the DCU. But I also see him, in this particular story, his antagonist is Superman. In that Superman is the character that not only embodies hope, but we wanted to tie into the mythology from Geoff Johns in Doomsday Clock that established the Metaverse concept where a lot of the kind of multiverse functions around Superman’s energy, his history, in these different ways, but he’s kind of a focal point. So if he’s a focal point of that kind of possibility of life, of life bursting from the dark and then trying to find a way forward and a leap of faith, then Darkseid is that darkness that’s not only pursuing, but closing in from the other side. So, they do have this kind of symbolic antagonism, in addition, to their real hatred of each other. But in this story, as much as Superman is a focal point, I almost see Darkseid as the enemy of everything living, all stories, every kind of causal event Darkseid has done.

Well, like I said, I gave you the answers. But you can't accept it.

So what can I say
Originally posted by Galan007I would 100% agree that if his stated ability was simply to "approach" the speed of light, that doesn't necessarily translate into being able to match or exceed said velocity. But let's be more precise here,
I understand where you guys are coming from, but I just interpret the dialogue differently. From my perspective, the ability to "approach" the speed of light doesn't necessarily translate into being able to match or exceed said velocity.
Originally posted by DarkSaint85I mean... wouldn't Galactus-level still be well below what any KMC poster assumed a conglomerated multiversal True Form Darkseid ought to approach?

With and without the Stones, against an Allfather. Also, Carol, whilst powerless, takes a hit from Thanos (so....Huntress level??):
Originally posted by ODGI get where you're coming from, and can't say you're wrong at all. I just interpret it differently, I guess.

If I was buying a Ferrari and the salesman told me that it was "perfectly capable" of "approaching" 200mph, I wouldn't then assume that it could reach 300...400...500mph, unless I had seen it reach those speeds firsthand. I'm about 6 J-cola's in, but that's kinda where my mind's at right now. 👆

I can perfectly assume I can give chatGPT 5 questions because that is what the offical manual says it's the maxmium number of questions I can ask. But it also indicates I can't go beyond that number
Originally posted by qwertyuiop1998Sure but by the same token, nothing in the comic says Hype caps at C. The room to argue that the text implies that he can *possibly* go faster is the counterpart to the fact that all you can argue is that the comic indicates that he is *possibly* limited to sub-C (unlike your chatGPT example, which provides an explicit max).
Yeah, that sentence only means someone is perfectly capable of something. I.E, we can completely assume he can do that.
You can argue he *possibly* can do more, but that is it.I can perfectly assume I can give chatGPT 5 questions because that is what the offical manual says it's the maxmium number of questions I can ask. But it also indicates I can't go beyond that number
And that was my point of contention that started this discussion.

Originally posted by qwertyuiop1998Funny. I was just asking you for a 2-3 sentence summary of how Wonder Woman's career during WW2 and the Justice Society works in current continuity.
So you basically just project your own prejudices here
Somehow your position is so obvious that it needn't even be said, much less repeated, at all. kinda

Danvers mentioned that if he was like any other Hyperion, he was perfectly capable of approaching lightspeed. So even the Avengers were assuming this Hyperion variant was certainly capable of more.
See my chatGPT example
Originally posted by qwertyuiop1998Oh... well, seems you've said the quiet part out loud.
And like I said I'm acting like a stupid **** pretending that my DC propaganda can stand behind ads, interviews and easter eggs without even addressing the absurdity that would result from my interpretation that hasn't manifested in any appreciable way for the last 3+ years
