    I'd argue they would if they had just been willing to stick with one iteration of reality. Deeper setting mechanics only have value if they are consistent and you can track their influence over long periods of time / portions of the story. DC repeatedly blowing up their own setting because they...

    It's because of the usage of "far" when referring to concepts. Statements like "He was glad for the raise, but still far from wealthy". It adds a dimension of distance/size to the idea or concept under consideration, often for the purpose of contrast. When someone uses the phrase "far be it...

    A major variable is a problem that long form fiction writers like comic book writers, and by extension Mr. Zoat, inevitably run into; the problem of setting alienation. Many of the kinds of stories you would want to tell in a superhero setting would be inherently undermined if civilization...

    Because if he ever was a man… bringing him back permanently might not even be possible anymore. Not a spelling correction, the wording just a bit awkward and I was having trouble parsing the intent.

    In this case (and the one you originally referenced) I think the good act is still good, however the implied moral quality of the person performing the deed is diminished, potentially greatly diminished, depending on whether they would otherwise perform such actions. The question of charity, for...

    I think it's a narrative thing. If Paul gains access to plain superhuman brute force it will indirectly start cutting down on variety in future combat settings, which isn't as much of a problem in the comic medium but can be very problematic in purely written storytelling.

    This is along the lines of what I was thinking as well. For chaos/warp based technical issues to continue to exist would require continual energy renewal, else they would peter out and eventually cease. Hopefully this means that human technology could resume development at some point if better...

    The logical problem with the premise of positive or negative warp presence being the deciding factor is that it ignores that machines, lacking an inherent warp presence, should by default be invisible to the warp with the sole exception of when warp entities or their servants are physically...

    That’s exactly what I mean though, the vital “balance” between faction must be maintained no matter what for the sake of the tabletop game. Imperium cut in half and chaos gains massive ground? A Primarch comes back and Primaris marines get invented. The financial incentives GW has responded to...

    No, they are correct on that point. For example GW constantly has to make the Tyranids act as moronically as possible to ensure they don't auto-wipe the Imperium, or really anyone that isn't the Necrons. GW also sucks at math, surprising given what their game is, since giving the Tyranids the...

    Now here's a spell concept that would earn the Constantine seal of approval for maximizing the number of potential horrible side effects. Top hits include instantly deleting all your own DNA and/or immediately killing your entire family tree.

    Power rings are functionally capable of teleporting people planetary distances. It isn't actually teleporting (as far as I remember), more like local ftl travel, but unless you have light speed or above senses it's a difference without a distinction. Edit: Ah, beat me to it.

    Given that we presumably know his genetic makeup due to OL scanning him, this angle could still be possible if it’s revealed that he’s actually the result of some kind of cloning-type experiment. Given that the event where we met him had synthetic Superman interacting with robo-Lex and was...

    The “artificial” Lex Luthor picking a fight with what could be viewed as the “artificial Superman” for no good reason would certainly be on-brand given who it’s modeled after.
