Reply Subj: Re: Superman vs Thor: Comparison Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2017 at 11:38:15 pm CST (Viewed 301 times) | |||||||
I'll have to check if Thor used the lightning. Whether he did or not isn't really crucial to the point I was trying to make. The point I was making was that they are clearly close peers. This is evidenced by Superman's comments on the matter, as well as Superman's physical state after their fight. Based on this, and based on other factors about their powersets and weaknesses, my point was that a fight could go either way. Of course Superman could beat Thor. It doesn't mean he would every time, nor does the fight definitely prove one was more powerful than the other, as the full scope of their powersets (from both sides) weren't used. Regarding my "handwaving" of a "clear cut statement" - what exactly about it is clear cut? Or more clear cut than Superman absolutely being in awe of Thor's power after grabbing Mjolnir? Let's look at the definition of the word "perhaps" per·haps 1) used to express uncertainty or possibility. synonyms: maybe, for all one knows, it could be, it may be, it's possible, possibly, conceivably; 2) More used when one does not wish to be too definite or assertive in the expression of an opinion. "perhaps not surprisingly, he was cautious about committing himself" 3) used when making a polite request, offer, or suggestion. "would you perhaps consent to act as our guide?" Silver Surfer and Superman met in a crossover. From that it seemed Superman was in awe of Silver Surfer. I could say something like "Perhaps Silver Surfer is more powerful than Superman". That doesn't mean that I am sure that's the case. And when you dig into it, and realize that I am basing my opinion on something that is not quantitative, not definitive, all of a sudden my opinion loses weight. That's what's happening here. We have some one-off comments prefaced by an admission of uncertainty and you are using it to prop up your point. | |||||||
