Honestly. People always be going on about how Bane collapsed the Temple of Ancients, as if he actually bulldozed the entire thing, but my understand was that he just destroyed the entrance. Let's look at the scene:1. So Kas'im is supposed to be far less powerful than PoD Bane, and yet is capably absorbing Temple busting impacts? Sure.
2. The text describes the energy strike "the Temple around him", framing what happens next i.e. the walls exploding, archway collapsing, roof caving in, within those contexts. Notice also how the massive spire goes unmentioned, despite being a key architectural feature, probably because it remained intact.
3. Note the word "implosion" i.e. the act of an object collapsing in on itself, or rather in these contexts under its own weight. Seems to me that whatever damage Bane caused to the Temple, it was largely due to him taking out its supports.
4. So Bane is supposed to be witnessing all this from the foot of the stairs, and that's supposed to be safe. Lol right, look how big the ****ing Temple is, even by the original scale it's still massive, big enough to completely consume where Bane was standing if it collapsed entirely, not spew a bit of dust in his face. The spire certainly would have crushed his dumpy head.
Altogether it seems to me like he just caused the entrance to collapse. Which is an impressive feat but not exactly colossal, and more in keeping with the scrub we all know Bane to really be, your thoughts?
