Its weird that you don't even know what's the argument is about and yet are passing remarks on it. This is what's argument is about.

I don't understand how/why the super jump feat is even a point of conflict between people. Supes did the thing with the book of infinite pages years ago after all. The super jump is infinitely LESS impressive than lifting the book so I don't know why people who dislike Supes are constantly arguing against it while Supes's fans act like it's some kind of next level feat. It's a cool feat, it's an impressive feat, but ultimately it doesn't change a damn thing...

Don't tell me it wasn't a big point in the past decade that Superman can't destroy a planet and hence was inferior to the likes of Silver Surfer. Its all there.

Well I honestly don't think it's been a big point for me personally that he couldn't destroy a planet because I consider him to be stronger than Gladiator who've I known could destroy a planer for quite a while. I mean if you can think of some specific argument I've made(especially from the last decade) I'll happily review what I said and either provide context to my statement or flat out say that I had to have been tripping at the time. The closest I can remember to being involved in such a topic though was to repeatedly point out that Supes HADN'T destroyed a planet(not that he couldn't) to people who frequently took the position that collateral damage was the end all be all and/or that any feat not seen on panel should be considered impossible on the forum in an attempt to lowball Marvel characters. I used to think if you demonstrated someone's logic was faulty by flipping it that it'd have an impact. This was before I gave up on everyone obviously...

I didn't say it was anyone in particular. It was just the sentiments of this forum as I read the earlier posts.

To me that's like trying to differentiate between a war, and a "police action" that in all ways resembles a war. However it's spun, they're too inconsistent for me to take anything they release seriously anymore. TBF, Marvel's really been pushing that line too. When it looked like they might have Surfer rebuild everything and everyone from scratch and how he thought would be best(thereby invalidating everything that came before) I was ready to throw my hands up and say f*ck all them too even though they haven't done it as many times as DC.

I honestly don't get that line of thinking. Too many times? 1986 and 2011 is two reboots. Two. If that's too much for you, then fair enough, but I honestly don't like when people act like they reshuffle their deck every time someone farts at DC.

People have always argued Surfer winning due to his insane hax, and solar drain which would still work. I don't get why superman fans hate this fact

Superman is mellow.

That's not the only major continuity shifts. After COIE there was one universe, then it became 52, then it became infinite again, then they started all over again, now stuff has merged or something so that most stuff is cannon but they still somehow got the infinite multiverse thing... Not every character is impacted by every shift it in things, but there's always a matter of taking the time to figure out what's still valid and what's not. Then on top of that you have stuff like the New Gods that everything ever is supposed to count for because there's only supposed to be one set in the omniverse(which means dumb things like the Omega Beams being dodged by Batman through pure agility on JLU is cannon) and the GL Corp which are supposed to be unaffected by such things even though it goes directly against logical linear thinking from an in-universe perspective and somehow despite all the shifts to the status quo somehow Golden Prime is still supposed to be what mainstream Supes is supposed to become... Don't get me wrong because my general dislike of such things probably makes it all seem like a bigger deal to me than it actually has been, but yeah the whole thing just annoys the shit out of me. I shouldn't need a damn degree in DC cosmology just to understand the relevance of their continuity.

Forum rule:

Fine. What's shown ON PANEL? How many suns does Superman fly into ON PANEL?

SIX.

What does the interview say?

SIX.

We go by what's shown on panel. I don't make things up like say that Batman injects Venom behind the scenes, or carries a small shard of platinum Kryptonite in his belt to amp his stats, in order to explain his showings - we go by what is shown.

And what is shown are SIX suns. The writer confirms it is SIX suns. Forum rules mean that his interview is inadmissible if it contradicts what is on panel. But on panel we see SIX booms.

Anything more, is you injecting head canon and making stuff up. Why don't I say that AFTER the countless suns you say he sundips in, I then go, 'well, maybe he then sundips in RED suns, to bring himself down?'

Carver, hello!

I know you're online🙂

I already explained that and an interview doesnt change what I said. We clearly see him heading to another sun. Also, per Superman himself, things work completely different in that universe. What happens in ours doesnt apply to that place. Everything about the environment was different and again, Superman even admits this.

But we don't see him going into any more suns. So where's your proof? I count six BOOMS.

So if everything is different, what are you trying to say now lol?

It was definately 6 suns though

And how does it materially affect the feat?

Lol MrMind predicted you accurately.

TBF Saint, you did recently argue about the speed of photons lol

Indeed. So I am asking Carver if that is his argument here, if you're now jumping in, you can answer for him if you want (and if not, then your useful contribution is at an end).

Is Carver now arguing that because it took place in the 6th Dimension, nothing is valid as it's not the 3rd Dimension?

Y'know, because of something that happened in Marvel? Lol.

Well I obviously can't answer for him as I have no real opinion on either matter beyond them both being cool feats. I just like to sort out similarities and inconsistencies in peoples basic positions(I do it to carver too lol) so I can keep track of who I consider to be "winning" lol.

There is a HUGE sexual tension between Saint and Carv.

Do not interrupt.

Lol, what I'm saying is, things work COMPLETELY different there. Superman even admits this. An argument on his statement can be made about a lot of things but I'm not the one to do it. As I said, whatever you're applying for the sun dips doesnt apply in Supermans own dimension since everything about the dimension he was in is different. Completely different. I think he mentions it again. Let me check.

What hax? Everything Surfer has, it's used on Superman and he still beats those opponents.

Solar drain is pretty much ineffective when Superman can recharge by just sunlight anytime.
