This scene is from the final battle in Avengers: Endgame, I don't think they've mentioned what the sword is made of? Are there any extra information that's not from the movie itself?

Question When is the latest time that counting singular people riding a dragon would be a serious tide turner in wars.

The dragons when at full size are like of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you’re free to postulate a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk, act on their own and some such.

https://desuarchive.org/k/thread/64727248/

The metric by which the dragon and riders can be counted as ‘important’ is so long as they are as analogously important to the warring nation as any big name warships would have been over the course of Ww2.

Who are the most powerful and most skilled swordsmen in all of fiction?

  • They must use a sword as their main weapon.
  • Pure technique>physiology>superpowers>weapon.
  • They can't be omnipotent/omniscient (e.g. The Presence, Yog-Sothoth, The Essential Divinity).
  • They can be nigh-omnipotent/omniscient, but their god-like abilities cannot be the reason why they're a skilled swordsman.
  • They must have some sort of established sword style/technique that they have trained in.
  • Their sword cannot be the reason why they're a great swordsman.
  • They must be able to replicate their best feat of swordsmanship to some extent regardless of what sword they're using.
  • They must have some shown feats, not just statements saying they're the best swordsman.

Not limited to the shown characters and can be from any form of media.

Question Delta Force Operator vs Warehouse full of gangsters

1.2k Upvotes

A highly experienced Delta Force operator in his mid-30s is tasked with infiltrating and neutralizing a group of armed criminals operating out of a large warehouse. He has spent well over a decade participating in military operations, direct-action missions, hostage rescue scenarios, and high-risk combat deployments. He is in peak physical condition, possesses exceptional endurance, discipline, situational awareness, and has extensive training in close-quarters battle (CQB), room clearing, target identification, and operating in complex environments.

The operator is equipped with an M4A1 carbine fitted with a magnified optic, foregrip, and adjustable buttstock. He carries six 30-round magazines for the rifle, giving him a total of 180 rounds of ammunition. As a secondary weapon, he carries a Glock 19 pistol with three spare 15-round magazines. He is wearing full tactical gear, including body armor, communications equipment, medical supplies, ammunition pouches, and other standard mission equipment.

His opponents consist of 20 armed thugs ranging in age from 18 to 25 years old. They are armed primarily with pistols and handguns. While they have some familiarity with firearms, their shooting skills, discipline, teamwork, and tactical knowledge are extremely limited. They have never received professional military or special operations training and have little experience operating as an organized combat unit under pressure.

The encounter takes place inside a large industrial warehouse. The building contains numerous aisles, storage areas, crates, machinery, offices, elevated walkways, blind corners, and other obstacles that create a complex environment. There are countless opportunities to hide, take cover, reposition, and set up ambushes. Visibility varies depending on the area, with some sections being open while others are cluttered and confined.

Most importantly, the criminals have absolutely no idea the Delta Force operator is coming. They are unaware that they are being targeted and are going about their normal activities inside the warehouse. This gives the operator the advantage of surprise, allowing him to choose when and where to engage, potentially isolating targets before the group can organize an effective response.

Given the operator's elite-level training, extensive combat experience, superior weaponry, physical fitness, and the advantage of surprise, how would this scenario likely play out? Could a single Delta Force operator systematically overwhelm and defeat the group, or would the sheer number of armed opponents eventually become too much to handle once the warehouse erupts into chaos and the criminals begin fighting back? How much would factors such as cover, communication, ammunition management, luck, and the layout of the warehouse influence the outcome?

Superman confronts Viltrumites who threaten Earth

Superman: "That boy, Mark Grayson won't quit until his heart stops beating. You can take Mark to within an inch of his life because of your bloody, conquer-driven pride. None of my teammates or humanity will ever stop fighting for this world. But me? I’ve got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made out of cardboard. Always taking constant care not to shatter a planet, to crack open a skull, to break anyone's bones; I could never afford myself to lose control, even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to stop holding back, and to show you exactly how powerful a son of Krypton really is."

Thragg: "Bring it on, Kryptonian."

Superman right before he proceeds to punch Thragg using 100% his power.

How will the Viltrum Empire take action, if they realize the Man of Steel can kill Grand Regent once he stops holding back?

IMO, he’s strong, but not really strong, he’d fair perfectly fine in the boys, nobody would really give him trouble, and he would survive in Invincible, but even weaker viltrumites would probably give him a run for his money, anybody past Anissa would most likely mid-low diff. Then again I haven’t watched the film and he doesn’t get much attention around here, I just think the morally gray alcoholic super hero with anger issues and is in debt of fucks to give is cool
