Saying one punch man is basic is to completely miss the point. It plays with as many tropes as possible because it’s a parody. You don’t have to like it, but to criticize it for that is weird. Personally I absolutely love it

Yet people also praises it on that basis. And it takes many pages from DB which is arguably funnier.

One Punch Man fans don't and have never treated it as satire. They obsess over it to the point where they give Goku meatriders a run for their money. Everything he said is valid. The series being "satire of tropes" doesn't make it good. Just like Game of Thrones Season 8 "subverting our expectations" didn't make it good.

[@jyrlan2596]

One of the biggest factors I see people miss about Red Rush as well is he has another obvious thing he could've done and he would've survived: run. Obviously he realizes before everyone else that Omni Man is trying to kill them, and since he can apparently think in super speed as well, he would've immediately realized they might not win this fight and it makes 100x more sense for him to just run away and warn everyone. He could've run to every government and warned them, he could've dipped and come back with a camera, he could've grabbed even one of the other guardians and ran away with them as well. There's no world where he decides he wants to get in a hand to hand fight with a demigod

[@catkook543]

on the part about getting the other guardians i will say. From what we've seen he seems mildly limited on how many people he can transport at once, so while he's getting some of the guardians out of there, that'd make any of the remaining guardians more vulnerable while they have less backup to fight along side them Even if it only takes 1 minute, or even 30 seconds, thats a decent amount of time for any guardians left to be picked up last to fend for themselves

[@MaxMax-tt6db]

Yes, altough the guardians assumed at first he might be possesed or something. So this might not be his first instinct

[@jyrlan2596]

@MaxMax-tt6db I was thinking that as well after writing this. Still would've made more sense for him to sit back and assess the situation or see if he can figure out what if anything is possessing him instead of fighting him hand to hand. The whole fight is so poorly written though, it is what it is (see batman knock off throwing himself at omni man lmao)

[@partystarter8041]

In all honesty he could have moved all the guardians out so they could regroup and prepare, he’s just stupid

[@kujojotarostandoceanman2641]

[@jyrlan2596]

When talking about Quicksilver (the one from the xmen movies) its important to consider which movie. Hes much better written in Days of Future Past. He has that good time in a bottle scene, and then basically just dips and doesnt show back up again, because he doesnt care. Thats a very easily and believable flaw to give a speedster is the idgaf factor. He could've singlehandedly dealt with the whole Mystique getting shot fiasco but was too young and selfish to care. They didnt have to nerf his power in any way, they instead just gave him a character flaw that caused him to become a non factor That being said, the issue with Apocalypse is easily fixable too, the writers are just dumb. The scene could've gone the same way where QS is pinballing him but they could have that scene longer where it kicks up a bunch of dust, and we basically see QS hands on his knees sucking wind and as the dust clears we see Apocalypse standing there without a scratch. That wouldve actually made Apocalypse more threatening imo because it establishes that even if other mutants have powers he cant match, it doesnt matter because they still cant hurt him. Durability is an intimidating factor

[@travistopham8884]

My impression of the Omni man red rush fight was that Omni man lacked super perception but could move at super speed. That's why he bides his time taking hits, he predicts Rush's attack, he doesn't react to it, and moves at super speed to catch it. This explanation makes sense and also makes Omni man seem like a seasoned warrior overcoming a physical limitation with battle smarts. I have no explanation for him grabbing red Rush's head at that speed though 😅

[@aquashuriken1634]

If he has super movement speed (not flight speed, actual movement speed) then it should have come up in his other fights. Even if omniman can't use speed perceive, he still should have been speed attacking in his other fights.

[@travistopham8884]

@@aquashuriken1634 don't they do it all the time? Whenever they use their limbs as cutting objects to decapitate or stab people, only makes sense if those attacks are at super speed, otherwise why aren't viltrumites always punching through each other. And yes this is me fully making excuses but the justification for them not always using it might be that they require proper posturing in order to use their flight leverage to attain those speeds without throwing themselves into a cartwheel from the momentum.

[@travistopham8884]

if you could move at super speed but not perceive things at that speed, then fighting at those speeds would leave you blind. Also they do use super speed in fights, whenever they chop someone's head off its not that they are turning their hand sharp, they are accelerating it to speeds where the shear force is enough to cut. Why they don't use it more often could probably be explained by omni mans comments on leverage, they can create their own leverage which would be required because throwing your hand in one direction at near the speed of sound would throw you off balance a little. I assume they use their leverage ability to keep upright, but that it requires some level of concentration to 'ground' yourself against those kinds of forces. the time it takes to prepare yourself to strike at that speed would negate the effectiveness of attacking at that speed, unless you only use it as a finishing move or when you know you have time to prepare that kind of attack mid fight. I really like this explanation because it takes the worldbuilding into account and adds a layer of complexity to viltrumite battle tactics, while also allowing super cool hand\fist stabbing scenes. @@aquashuriken1634

[@RoosterCogburnPhD]

has there every been a speedster that avoids touching people so he doesn't immediately snap their necks? Momentum is a factor that could make for a compelling factor and limitation to these characters but writers don't care because "NUHHH BIG POWER LEVEL THO".

[@lolphenomlive]

Technically A-Train kinda did that when he ran through that girl but it’s not really talked about after that tho

[@SigilOfBaphomet]

Being a speedster automatically requires the character to have more powers to back up their main power since realistic superspeed would have A LOT of drawbacks, so the ability to control momentum is often one of the abilities speedsters are given

[@RoosterCogburnPhD]

Thank you for finally getting A-Train right. (though I think you should put him into A tier just because... you know, A-Train) He can run away from Homelander, dodge his attacks, whatever, but he would have to do it... forever. Homelander can get him in his sleep, when he's exhausted, he can take hostages... A-Train is afraid because Homelander is a psychopath, not because of some power level. They also stated in the show that nothing has ever damaged Homelander (before Soldier Boy), so I would expect that includes A-Train.

[@tomraineofmagigor3499]

Honestly the best way to have a speedster be affected by a reguler person is to have a cooldown between when they can use their speed. It could be build into the ability or be magic where a spell has to be cast with a duration. Once the duration ends time would be needed to prepare the spell again. Another way of doing it is having a resource be needed like in the mistborn books. It requires the right metal that is consumed with the use of the ability/you must be slow for a time in order to be fast as there’s a few ways speed is achieved in mistborn

[@empdisaster10]

I think the way a lot of these things could basically solve the speed thing is just going “On demand” rather than constant. And also kinda setting up a thing of since they can move so fast they have to think faster than they can move. But doing so means once they start a moment they can’t just, stop on a dime without injuring themselves. Or even just outright saying they can’t period and their movements have to be thought out. Which is what I think they were trying to do with red rush, but it just didn’t come across as such

[@theunnamedaccount4009]

I honestly prefer the category of "speed and faster reflexes on demand" speedsters. Not because I find them more interesting, but because writers are usually more able to write around this ability compared to regular super speed

[@LycanFerret]

That's why when I write my speedsters(my own version of Werewolves), the fast speed comes from adrenaline and increased blood flow instead of it being a superpower. It is a physiological reaction to having high blood pressure. The more panicked, the faster they can move. The more relaxed, the slower. A drunk, calm, or tired werewolf is little more than a human with good hearing/smell/eyesight. But a werewolf in a fight or when hunting is a proper to be feared beast with inhuman speed and agility.

One small nitpick is that Red Rush didn't so much block Omniman's punch (did not stop it in its place) so much as he deflected it (and Omniman wasn't harmed by it, so that tracks with the force of his punches later on when he's been grabbed).

[@cloudmonkey6952]

You making this series helped me make and adjust a speedster that I’m trying to write, and although I did put certain limitations before hand, that being her having a limit to how much stamina she has (basically meaning she can have a time in a bottle moment, but she’d immediately fall dead after the fact if she doesn’t have enough energy), but this series really has made me look back and try to tone down or tone up her abilities in certain situations.

​@@taktexpI mean, there's a reason why they changed demon garou into possessed-by-god garou. Murata is bound by ONE's writing. But at the same time, it doesn't seem OPM is his cup of tea. OPM is ultimately a collection of anti-climaxes, let everyone do their thing until Saitama arrives and ends it in one punch, making us feel the same desperation our egghead protagonist feels. All forms of the story encapsulates that and that's why they try to deconstruct the expected story, a "what if we skipped every fight, power up and villain"; what remains is the core of OPM: Mundane life, goals and objectives, meaning of being a hero, etc. Such message and concept won't be properly assimilated by everyone (hell, there's s large chunk of the fandom who only wants Saitama to punch things indefinitely without reason), and perhaps that's why it's not high in the fav list.

Absolute W for succinctly covering Invincible's inconsistencies with their speed. Although powerscaling is subjective, Red Rush, Omni-Man, and Mark's feats require a lot of mental gymnastics, such as the scene where Omni-man caught Red Rush's fist. For this reason, debates involving Invincible are the most obnoxious.

Unlike Red Rush, Viltrumites modulate their speed. If they're moving slowly, they think slowly, and vis versa. Still, the Reanimen are just as much of a pain to consider as they in the comic, only worse.

[@user-ig6ql5gj3y]

One way to explain the Red rush scene would be to say that omni man is faster than Red rush but just doesn’t have anywhere near as fast of a reaction speed. That way if omni man predicted where red rush’s fist would be and moved his hand faster than red rush could move his he wouldn’t be able to get out of the way even if he saw it coming. Like if I could see the world 10,000 times slower but still moved at normal speed if someone shot me from 50 feet away I still wouldn’t be able to dodge the bullet even if I could clearly see it coming. 🤷‍♂️

Invincibles' creator once said Mark could easily beat superman. That is also the moment when i realized you couldn't take him or the fans defending it seriously.

[@roguebarbarian9133]

In fairness, Superman was "only" obscenely powerful when the Invincible comic came out, and it's only in recent years that his feats have grown to defeating omniversal beings, lifting books with infinite mass, and whistling to prevent the destruction of the multiverse from entropy itself.

[@TimeyWimey.]

@@roguebarbarian9133 He accidentally sneezed multiple planets out of orbit in one of his early comics. In fact, I'd say most of his craziest feats are from those early ones. And on the other hand mark gets consistently beaten close to death by people who superman could incapacitate in an instant.

[@TimeyWimey.]

@@user-cd5fm3hh9k well, he's a character that has existed for decades (15 years shy of a century) so of course he's not going to be consistent (his original writers died a couple decades ago). And because of that there are plenty of writers who don't understand what the character represents and end up writing him poorly.

[@SigilOfBaphomet]

Author statements can be easily dismissed if they involve anything along the lines of “my character is stronger than this other character I do not own”. The character you wrote is stronger? Then prove it, make them do something impressive, don’t just claim they’re more powerful than works you don’t own the rights to.

[@addictionsucks8848]

It might not be much of an addition but when redrush moves it always seems like he's moving on ice. He takes a second to stop or start accelerating when he's moving. I like to think it's because he's so fast that he can't really get a lot of traction. That explains why he kinda sits there after each hit on omniman. He's still a blur so he's definitely moving, but he just can't get the traction. Just my little headcannon though

For Invincible: When Omni Man, puts Mark through a train. Mark tries to punch him, using his speed omni man goes behind him and puts him in the ground bouncing Mark back up, watching mark go back up in slow motion. so maybe he does have super speed, or at least shown in that part.

[@demiliomason1565]

I had a counterpoint to the dash thumbtack scene. Do you think it simply looks that way because of the time period/ technology a place like a public school would have? I know the incredibles is fiction but it clearly does have a style and setting that's pretty contemporary. I don't know security camera tech at all so maybe i'm wrong, and i don't think they confirm how fast dash is in the film (i say this because you refer to him as being around maybe 200 mph multiple times; and like where is the source for that if it isn't just a random number.) But my point is maybe the camera can't really process or capture his level of speed given the time period or technology? It is being shown on an old CRT television too afterall.

[@descendinggod9740]

I've read everything up to date for One Punch Man, and its highly consistent with his speed. Though it may be a self aware ironic show and its meant to be a representation of a over powered character, the "show" makes sense of it and explains it to the reader exactly what the thought process is of how to measure Bald Mans power, such an example was the fight between Egg Man and God Garou.

[@captairadio]

While I do agree that Red Rush is poorly power scaled, I don't think that means he's poorly written. Stan Lee has a pretty good take on power scaling: It doesn't matter who's stronger, its who the writer needs to win for the plot. Red Rush was written TO DIE, that's his purpose. We know him, its amped up that he'll be important, and he is killed. If you can think of a convincing way for Red Rush to lose to Omni-Man while still with the guardians, that'd be neat. But regardless, he had to lose this fight for the sake of the story.

I'm pretty sure omni man is still physically as fast as red rush, just mentally slower. However, when he lets go of red rush's arm, there's zero excuse for red rush to not just move out of the way. Totally forgot about him letting go of the arm, so you're right, he's just stupid

[@edwardhoffenheim3249]

In the case of read rush I think you could explain it as omni man used reflect speed instead of perception speed to catch him. Which could be close enough to red rushes perception speed to catch him off guard.

i think everything you said about red rush is correct, but i do have a bit of conjecture what seems likely to me is that this was a difference between writer intention and animation, or if nothing else this is how red rush's situation might have been improved a. omni man is a speedster only in the speed part (able to cause massive explosions just by fly fast), not the perception part he's just as fast or potentially faster than rush, but if he wanted to catch him he'd have to predict him b. red rush was not meant to block a full force punch, but was intended to redirect it to avoid war woman getting hit c. omni man wasnt supposed to let go of rush at any point, just a mistake on the animators' part (dumber things have happened with these sorts of things, see diavolo crushing the scorpion in jojo) once again, all conjecture, but might've made the dumbness of rush's death a bit better

[@thebreadgetterofullapool4142]

another thing, when omniman first grabs him you can see rush pulling away at normal speed when he previously pulled his punch just as fast as he threw it, so it can potentially be reasoned we're meant to be seeing slow-mo, though thats unfortunately likely not the case

[@jacobnorris8256]

As much as I can agree Red Rush's perception should make him basically immune to getting caught, even through a trick, I really don't think him being able to block a single punch means Noland should be completely incapable of crushing him, and that Red Rush has the ability to escape his grip. You're making a few assumptions there: 1. That Nolan was, as you say, using a "full force punch". Not only does Noland probably not really have any reason to strain himself all that much to punch the ball lady, but we can clearly see from the animation that that really doesn't look like a properly wound up punch, and it was stopped before it gained full momentum. 2. If we choose to ignore the specifics of how it's animated because we can't assume the animators put that much detail into it, we also can't really take the shockwave seriously enough to instantly assume what Red Rush did was block it, and instead should assume the intention was that he diverted it, like you'd expect a speedster to do (though the animation does also imply this with Noland's arm moving to the side after, only the shockwave is out of place there). By all means, Red Rush should not have the strength or durability to either escape from Noland's grip or survive it. Why Red Rush was still punching Noland if he doesn't have sufficient super strength to hurt him, is however a lot dumber. You would expect a veteran superhero to pick up on the situation well enough to just act as support when he couldn't possibly deal any damage. There's no way this is the first time he's encountered something hard to break.
