Comic Book Questions & Discussion

"the parts in the right places" 😆 😆 😆

so just curious

Can Though Robot adapt to Mxy? What happens when meta encounters another metatextual

TR is designed to y'know.... according to Grant MORRISON, BUT Morrison confirmed that 5th dimension=imagination itself. not only that but he proposed 5th dimension in our mind. which heavily implies that 5th dimension is connected to our(the reader's) mind.

Basically Everything in the fifth dimension is run on thought and imagination.
It's an idea, it's a concept its whatever you want it to be if you can think it you can do it. So Mxy is PRETTY ****ING godlike

But TR is Superman's essence i.e plot, etc so who truly ultimately wins...? Imagination or Thought Robot

"thought-robot, capable of adapting instantly to counter any future threat. A sentinel-suit designed for a single purpose. To protect all existence against the ultimate enemy."

mxy >

Hard to say, honestly.

Thought-Robot was the essence of an all-powerful 'good' story; Mandrakk was the essence of an all-powerful 'evil' story.

Mxy is a 5D entity, and quite literally IS imagination in all its forms, and actually bridges into the 'real world':

So I guess it comes down to what you think is superior from an in-universe POV: the fundamental story of Superman, or the imagination behind that story. My first thought is that it's paradoxical... Like asking if God could make a boulder so heavy that he could not lift it. /shrug

So if Alberto of all people is allowed to make separate threads for his questions, I guess everybody can now?

Make a thread asking this.

Tbh, I thought of this as a versus thread, because he's essentially asking if Thought-Robot can adapt enough to beat Mxy.

If it wasn't intended as such, then I can merge it with the Questions thread.

It's both to be honest, but I was curious on how TR adaption would fair against Imagination

Okay.

Since it seems to be more of a general question, I'll just go ahead and merge this with the Questions thread at the top of the page. All discussion about this topic can happen there...

wouldn't TR be superior due to Supes supposedly being the physical manifest of Hope?

i still say mxy is more powerful. a story cant exist without imagination.

Nice auto shields, John

that's fair

I agree that it seems like Mxy should be more powerful. But I also have no doubt that if they were to fight in a comic book, CA would probably win. That's just what Superman does. 😛

Considering the fact that everything in DC comes from the story of Superman, TRS as embodiment of the story of Superman will defeat Morrison's interpretation Mxy.
Mxy seems to know this metafictional fact(everything comes from Superman) and has referd to it.

Everything in the Metaverse comes from Superman, yes.

...But Mxy is not part of the Metaverse.

The thought robot is the ultimate story. That’s just it!
That’s what is represents. It’s a story that beyond imagination of the DC universe.
TR should surpass or at the least match Mxy

Imagination can’t change everything
It’s been hinted at in joker arc
Yes, you can kill Superman, you can create a universe in which he does not exist but you can’t get rid of his idea. It’s why I think Joker couldn’t fundamentally change Superman

But Mxy/imagination can absolutely change everything in a very literal sense(especially in the pages of a comic book.) Mxy already did that when he destroyed every iota of DC(past/present/future):

There was literally nothing left in the entire company, aside from he and Bat-Mite.
