You not understanding consistency and how to judge it doesn't make it meaningless. From a narrative-portray standpoint novels Geralt is by any mean a low superhuman. There is several key scenes in the books in which a full capacity and ready to kill Geralt struggle with skilled fighters. He outright LOST a fistfight against half a dozen of guards in Season of storms.
In Sword of Destiny he came to blows with Levecque, a regular human. The said human matched evenly Geralt swordsmanship speed and reflexes, he lost because Geralt outsmarted him.
Whenever you like it or not Geralt in the books is not that guy. He never was.
He display literally nothing above supersonic in the game. Geralt in the books fight nothing even close to supersonic , to put it in your words, you don't have to like that, but it is what it is.
The Djin showing and the bullshit scaling to Vilgefortz make no sense at all. As I have already covered in my previous post page one, magical lightning is almost never potrayed as real lightning in terms of speed. You may mock spacebattles but at least the people there have such a obvious and primary understanding of fantasy. Most of them anyway, and thanks god for that.
Geralt literally explained himself that he managed to do it by luck. He is a veteran with decades of experience both against human and monsters foes. If Geralt say that it is not within in standard capacity to block two arrows in a row in such way, I prefer to trust Geralt over some random internet guy who clearly have no realistic take on the verse.
He was lucky. He explained iit. There was no struggle because he pulled off a lucky move, in other words in any other scenario he would have either failed or injured himself doing it. The author literally choose to have the interaction with Cahir praise and Geralt outright saying that the praise is overblow for a reason.
Yes, he does. I quote And you’ll not see it again!
Geralt in the novels never pulled something more impressive than blocking two arrows coming in near simultaneous one after the other. In terms of a speed you can actually scale at least. Geralt in the novels have far more feats of struggling or being reacted to by humans than absolutely anything even approaching him of supersonic stuff, let alone the rest.
Here I will pull the definition of consistency for you since you are obviously unable to get it
conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness.
Books Geralt being subsonic and peak human-low superhuman in physicals is reasonable. The rest is not. If we talk in numbers of feats alone without even considering narration and portrayal Geralt subsonic stuff far outstrip the other way in terms of examples in the books.
Lol.
This is why we judge consistenty and how feats make actually sense within the narration and the author intent about his story. This is why consistency is using the majority of feats we have at hand as opposed to some outliers which contradict everything. Something which you are incapable to do.. for reasons.
Again, Geralt in the novels being challenged or reacted-to by humans is something which happen literally in almost every single book. Even if you want to take your nonsense of lightning as a face value there is literally two scenes of it as opposed to more of a dozen indicating the other way not to mention statements.
Or because Geralt being unable to do it is actually consistent with his portrayal in the novels. Thus why scenes in the same vein are common.
You clearly have no fucking idea of how to judge consistency. Consistency judgement exist precisely because there is outliers and low showings here and there, by your ridiculous logic if a character who have 20 bullet timing showing suddently drops a feat which shoud make massively hypersonic without reasons, then the said character is MHS. Hell, debating comics characters must be funny with you.
Geralt massacring fodder on Thaned does not contradict the fact that Geralt have troubles against 4 excellent swordsmen. In no way, really.
As for the rest of the post I will just be repeating myself and pretty much explaining more or less similar kin of stuff I did for the Novels but now in the games, since your way of interpreting stuff is pretty hilarous , composite The Witcher was not my point so I will stick to adress what I actually argued about in the first place. Although as I said games Geralt is surely way more impressive. I will adress two last things for the rest.
Being able to react to lightning (which you literally claimed various times lmao) is by the common definition a lightning-timing feat. Maybe you should pay attention to what you actually say.
Yes, maybe it is the reason as to why OBD is often a mockery when not outright ignored across both comicvine and spacebattles and considered to be a lair of many wankers who took refuge here from both sites, I really wonder why. Understanding the difference between consistent showings, high end but still legit, outright low showings and outliers is a cornerstone of any reasonable debater. Every single big verse have many inconsistencies yes, this is why we gather stuff and analysis to see what actually does make sense and what does not.
But thanks god not every active debater on this site have this absurd reasoning. Anyway.
