Superman being able to fly through space has been pretty consistent over the years. Usually when he's in a suit or a space ship, it's usually because he has to speak to other people.

[@Stargonith]

I think his arguments on why it won't work are solid, though I adamantly disagree with his use of Disney lore instead of Legends lore.

[@DarthBill-h6f]

Yep that was a decision...

[@panelvixen]

Maybe overthinking it. What if Kyber Chrystals are a Star Wars version of kryptonite? Bat Luke: Your weakness is Kyber Chrystals and everybody has at least one. There's green, blue, purple, red, and even pink Kyber Chrystals. Super Man: We don't talk about the pink Kyber Chrystals.

[@Senkoau]

Legends lore is that the red crystals are synthetic as is the green one in Luke's sabre. Disney lore is red sabres are kaiser crystals that have been bled while white ones are purified. I am now wondering if crystal bleeding is like giving the crystal a lobotomy.

[@HeavyMorals]

I didn’t know the Kaiser had lightsabers! That changes so much history. I apologize. I couldn’t stop myself from being a smart ass.

[@dragonturtle2703]

It was just because Jackson wanted a special lightsaber, but they did go deep into how Mace is basically half dark side, just hovering on the edge of crossing over, to the point where he made an entire lightsaber technique variant about it.

[@Dinoman-mo7mt]

I think most versions of Godzilla can create different types of radiation.

[@irystocrattakodachithatmooms]

I should say, I like the bleeding of crystals, it feels very much like something the Sith would do. The entire thing with synthetic feels more like if there isn't another option.

[@TheMyrmo]

Superman would not need to stop a Jedi.

[@coisasm3029]

I jump most of the video, she need to Lear to listen man

[@dragonturtle2703]

If you want a suggestion for another Imaginary Axis video: his videos on the DC and Marvel multiverses. Makes a lot of stuff there makes sense if you aren't familiar with it, and still a decent video if you are.

[@CallumDowney]

Video title intrigues me I feel depending on which Superman we're talking about and if we're Canon or Legends or a mixture for Star Wars I could see some interesting conclusions. (Just started the video as the writing of this so know nothing yet)

[@kaseyboles30]

Larry Niven (one The Names in science fiction) wrote a semi-famous essay called "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex") on the issues of physical intimacy between Superman and Louis lane. Not a pretty picture.

[@dragonturtle2703]

IIRC there are rare naturally red crystals in the EU, plus nothing saying lightsiders can't use artificial crystals except maybe the jedi viewing it as more the will of the force to be guided to one. Just, red lightsabers are associated with the Sith, as are (to a lesser extent) all variant lightsaber types (light whip, double bladed, etc), so Jedi often avoid those. Besides, not sure why, but I know yellow, blue, and green are strongly associated with the sentinels, guardians, and councilors respectively for some reason, so few of any other color.

[@Matthew_Y]

51:41 Godzilla can alter what kind of radiation he emits.

[@dragonturtle2703]

45:40 The question is, is it electromagnetic, or some other partials. Perhaps something exotic. Short of the same frequency as red sun, I doubt it's electromagnetic.

[@richardkim3652]

I'm pretty sure Superman can survive being attacked by a lightsaber if Superman literally tanked magic and energy blast that was strong enough to destroy multiverses lol.

[@redherring2720]

My take is superman is immune to lightsabers, but wolverine could cut him, but a lightsaber could cut through wolverine's claws.

[@MrNone-d5s]

Supes be standing like a tree and waiting for Wolverine to cut him...

[@dragonturtle2703]

I was under the impression phric alloy was better than beskar.

[@irystocrattakodachithatmooms]

Ember, only annoying lore goblins completely write off the new canon in every aspect, sensible people can reconcile different things.

[@aaron75fy]

it's an interesting question, since in certain viewpoints the force is viewed as sorcery and in the DC world magic is seen as a weakness to Supes

[@Senkoau]

I thought it was just that he had no special resistance to it. That is a magic fireball won't bother him any more than any other explosion but a spell to turn him into a frog would work fine. In the former the magic makes fire and heat things he's largely immune to, in the later the magic works directly on him same as when it turned wonder woman into a pig.

[@Dinoman-mo7mt]

Just a vulnerability. No more weak to it than Batman or Flash. He has even overpowered magic, like in his fights with Black Adam or Shazam

[@aaron75fy]

@ magic removed his powers in Smallville

[@Dinoman-mo7mt]

@@aaron75fy that's an adaptation, not the main comics. It is a worse argument than using Disney Star Wars as justification for them losing to someone.

[@aaron75fy]

@@Dinoman-mo7mt you shall not bring up Disney as an argument, that company is corrupt

[@DarthVaderUniversity]

I haven't seen it all yet but I say just use kryptonite for the saber crystal breh🤷‍♀️

[@richardkim3652]

Well considering there's over 50 different Superman's, some of them are immune to kryptonite and some of them even has no weaknesses. That's how ridicules comics are lol.

[@Darkshade_01]

I mean depends do they have force magic

[@Johan_the_Marshal]

Well considering the wielders of said weapons are usually either Jedi or sith. Most likely yes, though the specific abilities they have mastery over varies.

[@Darkshade_01]

@Johan_the_Marshal true

[@DarthVaderUniversity]

@Darkshade_01 I instantly thought of Darth Zannah. Those tendril things take him out and she boops his nose with the saber. Still counts😁

[@Darkshade_01]

@DarthVaderUniversity makes sense

[@Senkoau]

I'm going to say no. There is Sith Alchemy and some unique abilities but the average Sith/Jedi tends to be just telekinesis, fast reflexes and other brute force abilities.

[@MrNone-d5s]

Nope
