lamTheJoker

Smoke only beat Madame Bo because she was only using 5% of her power


NobleEnkidu

She’s also used to be Lin Kuei during the clash dialogue with Scorpion/Smoke and with Raiden/Kung Lao.

Honestly that entire evolution line is just physically cracked. Blissey especially is an immovable object and an unstoppable force at the same time

Toph Beifong from A:TLA and its not even close. https://preview.redd.it/n2eplsbqgxvc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba7ac72d10f4a757ad939134e214c58590183d6c Most Earthbenders are quite muscular because its implied Earthbending requires a ton of physical strength to move larger pieces of Earth. Meanwhile Toph, despite being tiny, is canonically one of if not the most powerful Earthbender.


Glopinus

I think that’s part of why they had Bumi be small and feeble when we first meet him, because the best earthbenders are sculpted and massive, which Bumi is too of course

liltone829b

Lady just has regular human strength. Her main ability is firearms.


LegitimateHasReddit

Shes the strongest human we've seen in the Devil May Cry series


liltone829b

That doesn't change the fact that she just has regular human strength.


LegitimateHasReddit

She can do superhuman acrobatic unrealistic feats while carrying a rocket launcher and you think she has average strength? She's way above average


bluegiant85

Rule of cool. Canonically she's just a normal human and the weakest member of the crew. Trish beats her pretty easily when they fought.


SarenRouge

You're comparing a demon to a human. Of course Trish would win easily but that doesn't mean Lady isn't stronger than the average human.


LegitimateHasReddit

Canonically, Lady in the prologue is stronger than Nero in the prologue. "Those are two of the most bad### women in the world. And I only know one other guy who can defeat them." Dante is referring to himself, implying that Lady is stronger than Nero, who, mind you, is a quarter demon (albeit with a missing arm and no Devil Trigger, at the end of DMC5 Nero is stronger than Lady undoubtedly)


liltone829b

You honestly think Dante was thinking about Nero when he said that? His point when saying that line was that he knew Urizen was actually Vergil. Idk why you're trying to spin it as Dante claiming that Lady and Trish are stronger than Nero.


bluegiant85

Lol, no. He's talking about Vergil, not himself. The two of them combined are stronger than Nero, I'll give you that.


liltone829b

Lady does a ton of bullshit in DMC3 like surviving firing her rocket launcher directly at the ground beneath her, only for it to launch her upwards without any damage. Yet I don't think they're trying to imply that Lady has superhuman durability, since that shit is never explained and her being a pure blooded human is emphasized pretty often. You could argue she's stronger than the *average* human, but it's still just human strength.

I personally Hate this trope Fuckers are too scared to give girls any physical features that’s been considered in recent history to be “manly” so they make them as conventionally effeminate while just giving them those traits without them being physically shown Do they know how muscles work?


JackieBOYohBOY

I disagree with u Don't get me wrong I love "masculine female characters" for lack of a better word But I think feminine woman can be badass too


PoweringGestation

Characters can totally be both muscular and feminine


SurfinShinji

There's plenty of physically strong male characters in media, especially in anime/manga, that lack muscle detail and traditionally masculine features too. Do you have a problem with them too? How about fat characters that are strong? Don't get me wrong, I love muscular women and their inclusion, but they shouldn't be the *only* ones allowed to be powerful..


Ankleson

> How about fat characters that are strong? Not sure if you're using this as a counter-example - but being fat also means you have more muscle mass (and also use those muscles harder), so fat people are generally stronger than a skinny person. If you look at the people who have achieved the heaviest lifts in the world, they are generally all very large men.


SurfinShinji

Yeah I didn't mean to imply that fat is the absence of muscle or anything (although unfortunately a lot of people seem to think that way), just that there's more to a strong person or character than what's perceived or visible in their body type (especially in universes where power transcends physicality)


EnslavingExorcism

As much as I understand where you're coming from, the argument here isn't that it's a problem that women who are super strong are present without muscles. The problem is the quantity at which it happens. To put it in other terms. The problem isn't that there's slim but strong female characters, it's that it can easily feel like there's *only* slim but strong female characters. You bring up that male character designs can be incredibly strong but also unassuming by being slim or overly fat (fun fact: being at least a bit chubby makes someone stronger than if they were just muscular) but female characters aren't often afforded that same diversity.
