  1. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I was thinking the reverse. Power rings would have power, but what could they even do in that setting? For a new user, power rings can mimic mundane physics. But in a Xianxia world, is anything even mundane? If QI is literally everywhere and in everything, does this mean that it all has the...

  2. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Qi, souls, and the ability to cultivate are almost never defined well enough or consistently enough to connect them with mundane technology and science. Can anyone even properly answer the question of where Qi comes from? Living creatures? The physical world? Souls?

    I can't argue with comic book logic. But I suppose if you count pride and personal fulfillment as a benefit, then all of those groups were benefitting greatly through their wars. Also, logically, they should have easily conquered Earth, because of just how weak Earth should be. But comic book...

    How about we go with modern war. In modern times, it is increasingly so that value does not stem from possessions or land, but from people and infastructure. Those two things also happen to be really valuable when it comes to fighting wars. They provide all the tools and services needed to gain...

    Maybe I am misunderstanding the situation. I thought that godhood was really hard to change, grow, or create, especially a powerful one, like war. They already have Ares' power, which, like Zeus', I assumed was stripped and not destroyed. So they were going to find a god of suitable godly...

  6. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Okay, so for the Greeks, godly power can be put on, taken off, and passed around like a hat, likely with a certain bare minimum for fit and compatibility. So Zeus can be stripped of nearly all his godly power, and it can probably be passed around to whoever Heph wants. Same for Ares. He just got...

    Think about how small of a nudge it took to get here. All that had to be done was getting Zeus a bit horny, and now Paul is stuck on this quest.

  8. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Rather than just subjecting people to nightmares and madness, why not take it a step farther? Create an interactive dream based platform that allows people to meet through their dreams in some sort of nightmare realm. Or a shared augmented reality of madness that only the participants can see...

    I meant that it would be silly, because if the villain had the power and cunning to dethrone Zeus, he probably could have beat Shazam without even doing the first step. Silly, but potentially fun.

  10. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Now that I think about it, this just sounds like a silly Shazam plot. "I may not have been able to defeat you before Shazam, but now that I've dethroned Zeus, there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

    I'm just going to say, the way people think tech works and the way it actually works are way different. And if Heph is based on the second, actual R&D will probably play a minor role in his work, and he'll probably be closer to a "it just works" perspective. I think the biggest advantage Heph...

    Is he constrained by actual human technology, or the idea of technology in human minds? And will he be able to grow with research and development?

  13. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I was more referring to how he turned Akhlys into some kind of robot, rather than just improve her organic form. Is that all he could do?

  14. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Why is Heph going full robot? Technology isn't just about robots. It's about the creation of tools through the scientific observation and manipulation of our environment. That can be literally anything. He doesn't have to constrain himself to just metal and electricity. Organic materials follow...

    No, what I'm saying that is if someone were to be drugged against their will like that and wake up the next morning, and decide to do nothing about it despite knowingly having been drugged, their behavior is because of more than just the drugs. In the story, he wanted Aphrodite to be his wife...

  16. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I disagree with your interpretation of the story. She used powers on him, yes, but Heph isn't helpless. He knows what she did, and even though it influenced him, a good part of him still wants her. And if he really is trapped completely against his will? All I have to say is that it is an...

    Unless Heph is very dumb or oblivious, he knows what Aphrodite is doing, even if she is really good at doing it. He still wants what he's getting anyway. He just wants more than that.

  18. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Going off of this, sounds like Heph was a fairly willing participant in this whole situation, and he just didn't like Ares being part of that situation. So in that case, I count him crippling Ares to just be a case of Heph doing what he wants, even if what he wants in this case is pretty immoral.

  19. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Yes.

  20. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Were I to be in such a situation as this, no, I don't think I would be mad. At least, I wouldn't want to be. Regardless of what anyone else says, who I decide my partner is is something for me to decide on with said partner. Obviously in this scenario, Aphrodite isn't interested. So, she isn't...
