I've noticed that anytime somebody does a anime vs xianxia or a comic character like superman vs xianxia and i feel like people are really low balling some of these dudes. I recently watched this video And i'm pretty sure that goku wouldn't get curb stomped in a way people think he would. matter of fact i think he could be some xianxia MCs why?
Western MC's don't have as much plot armour as most xianxia protagonists so they'd probably get curb stomped.
most xianxia ends up being overlord god of all etc. so depends how far through the novels they decide to go with, for example if it were to go from ridiculous like DE's Ji ning at the end of the final novels obviously there aren't that many chars from any comics or anime that would even come close - such characters would be boring anyways.
western heroes, unlike the eastern ones, are created trying to make them as human as possible. Like giving them an emotional weakness or stuff like that. But in xianxia and stuff, when your aim is to be an immortal..there is a limit to how much you can make them relatable.
aren't daolords and EEs from DE like between 100-1000 times faster then light i feel like they'd get speed blitzed by the upper tiers
And i read about a Superman called Cosmic Armour superman (more like plot armour) who can literally get any power needed to beat is opponent.
Well Frieza ruled over most of the universe but then SS Goku destroyed him. Cell was strong enough to destroy the universe, but SS2 Gohan beat him. Buu - especially Kid Buu - was a calamity that slaughtered the Lord of Lords and could basically destroy the universe. Goku beat him. Beerus literally can destroy the universe if he wants. God Goku is on the same level as him, and beyond now that he has Ultimate Instinct. Zenou can just make the universe vanish though. And we already have a guy controlling abstracts like time - Hit. He's not even at the God level. Plus the Ultimate Instinct is already accessing the void and stuff. I don't believe you can say anything other than Zenou is beyond Goku. And give him enough time, and we'll get Super Saiyan 5 Goku in the clash of Zenous
Goku hasn't even reached the peak of his strength yet, and I still think he is stronger than western comic heroes. The dbz characters can easily destroy planets, I don't know any superheroes that could do the same
the downside of dbz dudes like goku and vegetal is that they don't got any stupid hax abilities like reality warping and that sort of crazy shit
the dude in the video said there are plenty of dudes who would stomp goku And can omnipotent beat omnipotent?
There's dozens of them if they're serious. Thor, Silver Surfer, and Doctor Strange off the top of my head.
Technically, Goku is just a xianxia mc that gets his own anime. All he really does is train, fight and level up anyway(plus a little story to keep us interested, like say: defending the earth from those that want to destroy or take it over). The stronger he gets, the more god like he becomes. Isn't that what all other xianxia MCs do anyway?
These days it usually a contest on who more OP and why. It starts from one series having strong characters having OP powers and someone-else copying them with even more stronger characters having more OP powers. That how it goes on most of the time.
Comic book heroes have tons of plot armor though. Xianxia MCs (with one notable exception) just avoid dying with plot armor. Comic MCs can die, but they'll somehow come back.
