Arkantos95: I want the show to have victories and losses on both sides. For heroes to be able to face any villain and not be like "OMG WE CAN'T WIN SIMPLY BECAUSE XXX IS TOO POWERFUL NO MATTER THE TACTIC NO MATTER WHAT THEY CAN'T LOSE!??!?!?!??" That happen in shonen stuff. There's usually the start of the manga where everyone is a good fighter, then the lead loses and the villains becomes this wall no one can surmount. Then the hero returns and beat the villains and this series of events repeats with new villains until the comic ends. I want to avoid that.

Here's an example-- Let's say Ruby is Goku and Torch was Raddicks. Now let's say Ren is Piccolo and Jaune is Krillin. Torchwick dies. World saved. Cinder arrives, let's say she's Vegeta. Ren and Jaune can't beat her, no matter what. She's too powerful. No tactic is good enough. She's just power personafied. Ruby beats her. Cinder has her tail cut off, I mean, her eye cut out and slinks home defeated. Let's call Salem Freeza/Frieza. Ren and Jaune could barely stand up to Torch and couldn't beat Cinder so no one can beat Salem but Ruby. Ruby loses. OH WOE IS US! NO WAY! Wait, chosen one, Ruby comes back a month later and wins.

THAT. I want to avoid that.

And yes, people do sleep on how cool Aquaman can be.

Someone: 1) I thought this was becoming a war 2) not blind luck, it would be more like mages, knights, theives and healers, like an rpg. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses in the mind and the body. 3) new villains would have reigns of terror. They would drop easily even when a person he who was their weakness arrives. When a Knight fights a Wizard he doesn't just go down easy. He tries and sometimes it can go either way. 4) I don't want it to be that black and white. Think of it like this: a lot of people fight and are getting hurt. They're running low on man power. Enter the healer. The healer heals people and replenishes their forces to help even the odds. It's not about deus ex machina or power levels. It's about people have jobs/classes/roles they play and each one supports the others. Like any RPG. That way no one is the chosen one, there's no destined victory, the Silver Eyes. It's a team effort and lots of hard work and skill.
