this isn’t an indictment on xeelee or manifold or any of baxter’s writing, but I find people who need fiction to 100% conform to science to be some of the most boring and insufferable people I have ever encountered
Every time I read anything from Xelee it feels like Neil deGrasse Tyson's wet dreams. Down to romanticizing science to a fantastical degree to the point it's nauseating. Hate science fiction settings that reach retarded power levels but don't admit it's just fucking magic at that point. "No, all of this is totally plausible whilst adhering to science. Believe me, please." Then you read that the Xelee aren't even the top dogs in their own multiverse, and you can't help but laugh.
It's why I love Star Wars and Starship's Mage. They admit none of this is possible without some kind of supernatural force.
Then you get to the Downstreamers and it feels like whoever wrote them got beat up by LOTR larpers in grade school, and shoved in a locker every day. "I will make a scientifically advanced race so ahead of us they solo 99.9999 % of fiction. That will show them!" Oh, and get this, they're post humanity. It's what humanity becomes. We are just that smart we become beyond any god. Which even Neil deGrasse Tyson would have problems with because he kinda has a dim view of our importance in the universe.
Even the way they're described is so self-masturbatory. Religious people who think we're the greatest creation of some abstract deity don't glorify humanity as much as these people do. Cause even they draw the line before the point where they are like: "Yes, humanity is the greatest and first intelligence ever. We're actually God."
Funny enough, in my bible talks with other Christians in my friend groups one of the biggest things I get out of reading and discussing the bible is basically "Man sucks and without God we are basically fucked unless we walk the righteous path he wants for us and any greatness or glory from that is due to him, never Humanity".Even the way they're described is so self-masturbatory. Religious people who think we're the greatest creation of some abstract deity don't glorify humanity as much as these people do. Cause even they draw the line before the point where they are like: "Yes, humanity is the greatest and first intelligence ever. We're actually God."
I'm after spotting a video where some nigga on YouTube is giving off the question as to whether or not its possible the strongest version of Goku from Heroes could beat Kratos, Asura and Doomslayer.>niggas trying to say Kratos is stronger than Asura
He isn't
>niggas saying Kratos killed Zeus which makes him stronger
Hes still not
>niggas saying kratos flipped all 9 realms
He didn't, he flipped a temple with gates
Dudes be sucking kratos off as if he's the strongest video game protagonist or something

Feel free to tell me what's wrong with that sentence, and just how highly niggas be pushing certain folks.
I meant in irl, cause the stars own gravity is what causes the compression of matter into a black hole.No, you don’t. It pulled some trees and a bunch of dirt.

If she has mass on the levels of stars, she would’ve bent space and induce spaghettification.
Yeah, Infinite drops a sun on him or DIO just burns up before that even happensDIO Brando (Part 3 JJBA) vs Infinite (Sonic Forces)
Dio is somewhere in the single digits machs. Infinite is around lightspeed. One of these is faster than the other.forums.spacebattles.com
Veles really tried to downplay Infinite huh, just cuz of the memes about him
kinda funny that even Siriel said Sonic characters are lightspeed/FTL. Surprised he was defending Infinite here
Literally I explain how Hades was NOT some Devil like figure in Greek Myth and the much better relationship he had with his wife to explain why he was "done dirty" in God of War.Why Hades in particular got done dirty in God of War ?
Nah he was totally done good because "insert Satan like traits they gave him here", how is that bad?But how does that qualify as him ''got done dirty'' ??..........
Him having a distorted face underneath his satan like helmet adds a lot to the personification of god of underworld. Also notice that Hades helmet has flames inside which indicate hell and maybe how he suffers himself since he constantly talks about the pleasure of pain.
Also they added a very deep menacing voice for Hades. Making him even more secretive and ''underwordly'' if u know what I mean.
On top of that. Why do you complain about ''him not look human''.....he has a humanoid body. But not face.
Also , he CAN change his size. When the greek gods where about to face the titans , Hades was just a bit taller than Zeus , while agains Kratos or Atlas....Hades appears.....GIGANTIC.
Yes Hades still loved his wife...but Persephone didn't, where they had a mutual fondness in the myth.Which doesn't account to much considering the fact that Hades cares and loves his wife and his brother a lot.
When Kratos was inside Hades domain. Hades said ''And you killed my brother Poseidon , and I have not forgotten that it was you who butchered my beautiful queen , I will see you suffer as I have suffered ...Ur soul is mine''
Yay, let's excuse Hades not having his signature equipment from the myth, because he got given these random claws that never existed before. That totally means it's a good portrayal right?And so what if they did not add that in gow? Hades in god of war has the claws of hades which can pull out someone's soul he can also summon a ton of curshed souls with them. Like Cerberus , Archers , Centaurs , Medusa...you name it.
Again , how is he done dirty ? It seemed like he was done good to me.
Hades shouldn't have even been someone who Kratos killed at all, going by the myths. They had to spin him so cartoonishly in order to make Hades a villain in GOW 3, and by that point, he wasn't Hades anymore. Just another devil allegory, which sucked ass.Kratos and Atreus vs Sasori and Deidara

Way to miss the point entirely...again.

Nothing against the claws but this would be like if Thor didn't have Mjolnir, Cu not having Gae Bolg, King Arthur not having Excalibur or Sun Wukong not having his staff etc.
Are we talking appearance? Sure. But Hades in GOW3 is still easily the most sympathetic god you fight with none of the cruelties Zeus and Poseidon have done throughout the series minus those that truly crossed him and he’s the only god to fight Kratos for genuine grievances Kratos is responsible forHades shouldn't have even been someone who Kratos killed at all, going by the myths. They had to spin him so cartoonishly in order to make Hades a villain in GOW 3, and by that, he wasn't Hades anymore. Just another devil allegory, which sucked ass.
Having played GOW 3 again recently, I now can't decide which was the worse portrayal, GOW Hades or ROR Hades.
Pretty damn low bar there, my guy.Are we talking appearance? Sure. But Hades in GOW3 is still easily the most sympathetic god you fight with none of the cruelties Zeus and Poseidon have done throughout the series minus those that truly crossed him and he’s the only god to fight Kratos for genuine grievances Kratos is responsible for
Zeus doesn’t even mention Poseidon’s death by comparison
At least Disney Hades was fun, though the villain really should have been Hera.Poseidon was always a dick so there wasn't much loss there
I had this hades discussion on a disney hercules movie vid, he was unironically one of the most reasonable gods and he gets turned into the villain when (movie wise) there were other gods who actually could be antagonistic towards herc and were known for being pricks

What really saves God of War Hades was his actor. Clancy Brown was epic as always, using the same performance for Hades he uses for Uka Uka and Baron PraxisAt least Disney Hades was fun, though the villain really should have been Hera.
That's another BS thing about God of War adaptation wise. Herakles taking orders from Hera, despite Hera being the cause for basically every terrible thing that happened to him in the myth. It would have made more sense for Herakles to be after Hera, just as Kratos was after Zeus.. Doesn't mean they can't end up fighting each other but you need a better reason for it.
