itsagifnotagif: blonde-wednesday: simplelittlepaperyanon: thenightling: simplelittlepaperyanon: thenightling: amazinglikely: thenightling: itsagifnotagif: ok boomer Some idiot actually said this to me today because I broke it to him that Blade the vampire hunter fighting Edward Cullen wouldn’t end the way he hopes. Either it would be over in twenty seconds or Blade would spare him, realizing Edward is a non-threat ala Hannibal King. I think some people are saying “Okay Boomer” without knowing what “Boomer” even means. I was like “Umm… I’m thirty-seven. I was born in the 80s. I don’t think Boomer means what you think it means.” Ok boomer :-P Your tag says “Boomer is a mindset.” So it’s “Boomer” to know it would be a non-battle and Blade would either win in seconds or walk away from the vegan vampire in mild disgust? No, I think that’s just being aware of characterization. If we throw “Boomer” at everything that provides an unfortunate truth we’d have to rename well-educated Millennial to some new kind of Boomer. It’s boomer to inherently believe your edgelord must be better than our edgelord. It’s boomer to talk down to people younger than you as if they aren’t people, too. It’s boomer to assume you must always be right and everyone else is wrong. It’s boomer to actually say outright that a character who cannot even catch Edward Cullen, as he can move faster than any living thing, must still be capable of winning because you refuse to admit another generation is capable of also making a ridiculously overpowered and horribly generic character. Okay, boomer? @simplelittlepaperyanon I think you’re looking for a reason to be angry. You’re projecting something. The person I was initially speaking about was THE SAME AGE as me. I don’t talk down to people because of their age. Am I supposed to look up the age of everyone I’m replying to? I treat everyone I talk to as equal. It’s what I’d want. Also it’s not “assuming I’m right and everyone else is wrong” to point out that Blade and Edward’s fight would be a non-starter. I based that on canonical content such as all the times Blade had kicked Morbius’ emo ass after he’s “lost control” and his tolerance for Hannibal king. I was using canon as the basis for my reasoning. Not ego. Not to mention Blade also has inhuman speed in the comics (I was using comic lore for my reasoning) as well as a motorcycle that is faster than most automobiles and he and his bike can climb buildings and trees. Okay, Boomer? This is bordering on ridiculous. Boomer now apparently means being a pragmatic comic book / vampire nerd! Okay, boomer, sorry your vampire doesn’t have telepathy lol Not looking at facts that supports someone else’s statement and simply promoting your own opinion as if it were the truth? And then insulting them when they try to explain it? Okay, boomer. Blade has taken down telepathic Vampires before, among other impressive feats. Which you would have known if you just heard out why @thenightling said Blade would win. Also, Edward is one of many (MANY) vampires with telepathic capabilities in stories. Plus, it’s shown in the books that it’s not a perfect mind-reading, His sister Alice shows that just focusing on something super repetitively inhibits Edward from getting information (such as a future that Alice doesn’t want Edward to know about during Edward and Bella’s wedding I believe). He can only read what is currently in someone’s mind. Blade would have done enough research/already knows how to deal with a telepathic vampire. Like Dracula, who was taken down by a bunch of normal humans, by using his telepathy against him (Mina Harker!). Telepathy isn’t a magic no-one-can-kill-me-card, it’s an advantage that can be used against the user. This post has gone to shit -- source link
