Power scaling is a legitimate part of world building, but the Death Battle retards give the whole thing a bad name because 1) they take ridiculous outlier feats and just run with them to the point where half of the Marvel and DC roster can blow up the multiverse and 2) they completely ignore anti-feats and negative outliers.

As far as I'm concerned, outlier feats should not be considered legitimate unless they're story relevant AND are replicated. For example, sub-500 power level Dragon Ball characters blowing up the moon is a ridiculous outlier compared to everything else these characters do - however, since it happens twice, AND both instances are story-relevant and have lasting consequences (not gag moments) you have to accept them as legitimate representations of what the character can do. They also line up with 18 000 power level Vegeta being able to blow up earth.

Speed feats are if anything even worse, because of this claim that combat speed has NOTHING to do with travel speed (which would otherwise completely debunk various outlier feats).

@ChristiJunior
Yeah, powerscalers can obviously use retarded methodology, and ignore the point/true nature of some feats.

On the other side though, if you can look at this and not see how it ruined the entire rest of the series, then you literally need to hire consultants. And I cannot believe, that I am even writing such an idea. But yeah, power-scaling consultants should be a thing.

@LukeAlmighty Again, I can't see images from your instances because of some weird glitch (either DRC or on my end, I don't know).

Is it about Dragon Ball Super? Yeah, that show does retarded things with power scaling, but its biggest crime is its extreme inconsistencies and contradictions, because things already got real retarded in DBZ
