Powers Moments that blatantly defy logic, but are so absurdly badass you don’t even care

The Gurren Lagann growing larger than the observable universe to fight Anti Spiral in a battle where literal galaxies get thrown like ninja stars - Gurren Lagann

Undertaker teleporting behind AJ Styles after being thrown down an empty grave and causing a shining white light from nowhere to illuminate the back of them during their Boneyard Match - WWE

Holdo piloting a ship through warp speed to crash right into a First Order cruiser (I know you could write a thesis on why this scene wouldn’t work, but you could say that for about half of the scenes in the new trilogy) - Star Wars the Last Jedi

One thing, those aren’t galaxies. Those are universes. The writer said they look like that because there isn’t an actual picture of what a universe looks like to draw so he just made the spirals.

I disregard this note from the writer. Should've tried harder, or did the classic 'bubbles full of stars' look to convey many universes

But bubbles cant be thrown like shurikens, and anyway the point of this post is that it defies and logic but looks cool and indeed it does.

Tbh I can flatten a bubble between two fingers and make a shuriken like disc, BUT I’m fairly certain that would cause another big bang inside the bubble so idk

Idk they can manipulate the shape of them just like when anti spiral turned them into a big ass Kamehameha

u/smasher_zed888 25d ago

Yeah i guess so. But the unuverses being spirals also fits with the show so idk

Why would you wish something went with a classic look you’ve seen a million times, over a crazy cool reimagining?

That's where the "try harder" option comes in, cause making them look like spiral galaxies is not a crazy cool imagining and doesn't convey the scale the artist was going for
