bruce definitely wasnt omniscient. jesse isn't omniscient either, but he's a much better strategist and doesnt hesitate to kill.

like i said earlier- if jesse speaks before bruce acts, he can definitely win. jesse is probably the only being in cinema who can actually beat bruce.

it's not the same "God" though.

[b]Won't claim to be no Expert on either. Only saw Bruce once and Was NOT impressed with the Preacher Series. IT was for Phaggots. [/B]
Preacher was a terrible adaptation in.my opinion.

preacher god was still the creator of the universe, heaven, hell, etc.

but what reason do we have to think that preacher god would be any more susceptible to the power of genesis than bruce would be?

We see a mere human get "All" of God's power and run wild with it. Bruce pulled the moon nearly 240,000 miles from where it was with an invisible lasso(also that same distance), to right in front of Earth in seconds. He heard the thoughts of everyone on Earth simultaneously, granted wishes and prayers, etc, etc...

Bruce Almighty and by extension God, actually has feats.

Aside from giving Jesse the voice, which is a lesser version of what BA God chooses not to do(rob people of free will, but he doesn't need words), what has that God done?

Everything Ennis writes is like something a Angry and Unimaginative 12 year old would write.

I can see why so man HC'ers like his stuff.

^^^not much.

Just cuz both characters are “God” doesn’t mean they’re the same character. Their feats or lack thereof in this case don’t just transfer. BA God was way more powerful than Preacher’s, and Bruce will wreck Jesse in this match.

cool. how does the ability to pull the moon give bruce immunity to genesis?

no. bruce heard the thoughts/prayers of everyone in his general area of the US (not everyone on earth, as morgan freeman later stated) and it nearly drove him crazy. he had to deal with it by NOT dealing with it. so again, how does that prove he'd be immune to genesis? if anything it suggests the exact opposite.

the "this god > that god" logic is stupid an nonsensical. god in bruce almighty and preacher god were described the exact say way: as "the alpha and the omega", as "the creator of the universe", etc.

if genesis could affect preacher god, there is no reason to think it couldn't affect bruce.....especially when bruce wasn't the actual god anyway.

Cool. Answer my questions though, what feats does preacherverse God have? Just because they represent the same diety doesn't mean they're shown on the same scale. Zeus is Zeus, but Immortals Zeus isn't as powerful as Clash of Titans Zeus.

In MvF different versions of the same character from different mediums and film dont automatically get to share feats.

You see the comicsc
were fine at time of writing imo, but that was long ago now. Haven't read them in a very long time, I suspect they have not held up well to time. The show was shit.

creating the universe.
creating heaven.
creating hell.
wiping out all life on earth in the prehistoric era (ie. the dinosaurs).
can create nuclear weapon sized blasts casually.
created the concept of souls.
telepathy
telekinesis
illusion casting
can resurrect anyone from the dead just by saying "live".
turning day to night and night to day with the snap of his fingers (literally).
stopping/freezing time itself just to have casual convos.

and the list goes on.

but i guess since bruce pulled the moon and ignored a bunch of prayers, he must be superior? lol,.

Yeah I don’t see what the disconnect is here.
Bale Batman is a joke on this site. Batfleck not so much.

of course Saint of Killers killed God in the comics. Didn't watch till the end of the TV show as it was a bit shite. Tbh, that's pretty weak for a "supreme" being.

none of you guys have yet to prove why bruce would be inextricably immune to the power of genesis.

What are you trying to imply then? Bruce Almighty God’s also created his own verse.

Also pretty sure Bruce not even knowing how to use God’s powers did not only bring the moon closer, but he also created new stars to brighten the sky.

Also, he answered the prayers of everyone in the world.

Preacher verse God was weaken the second he left his throne. And we know for a fact that he could not just remove that clutch because he ended dying in the end.

Because Preacher verse Was only Omnipotent on his throne.

Bruce held God’s powers, but it was implied he wasn’t truly God, he just had his powers. That’s why God bestowed him his powers, yet still had absolutely control of them.

again, i've seen NOTHING to suggest that bruce would be immune to genesis. nothing at all.

you're thinking of the comics, but that was NEVER stated in the show.

in the show god's power didn't dwindle when he left his throne. SOK was just able to kill him because he was given the ability to kill literally "anything".... it was basically god creating a rock so heavy that even he couldnt lift it (SOK was the rock).

but again, that has NO bearing on bruce being able to resist genesis. bruce obviously had a soul, therefore he WOULD BE susceptible to genesis. end of story.

because he is a less vulnerable fictional iteration of a divine supreme being. Ennis made his God weak sauce, that is not the Judeo/Christian/Islamic idea. I am sure many of the ideas in it as a fictional work are Heresy and Blasphemy.

I have.
Genesis never affected anyone as powerful as Bruce.
Ennis’ god was weak af by design. 😛

ennis wrote the comics. the show was just a very loose adaption of the comics.

the show is what's being discussed here. and ANYONE who has a soul is susceptible to genesis. bruce obviously has a soul, therefore he'd be helpless against jesse IF jesse spoke first.
