…. Did you not understand what I said? I said FTL is physically impossible. I didn’t say “did DC or Marvel depict FTL properly”… This is nonsense statement since FTL doesn’t exist in physics
your argument was an appeal to IRL physics… Andnim telling you that IRL physics says FTL doesn’t exist
so Choose, Do these fictional stories have to follow IrL physics or not?
You do understand the very simple idea that there is a wide gradient between "something depicted in media is +- equivalent to irl physics" and a depiction of something that doesn't even begin to approximate irl physics, right? The former is pretty much nonexistent (Superman wouldn't be able to lift an apartment building without it collapsing, yada yada yada) and is therefore quite useless as any definitive metric, as it would rule out 99,9% of comic / manga feats as something you can even try to evaluate; BUT there is a
huge difference between how different media portray lightspeed.
Lightspeed in DC comics, despite all the speedforce bullshit attached to it, has been presented in the context of feats and statements that put it in the same general bracket as irl lightspeed. You don't have to slavishly and blindly adhere to the "bUt WhErE iS mY NuClEaR ExPlOsIoN wHeN FlAsH tRIpS aT LiGhTsPeEd, reeeee" bullshit when judging such feats because there is at least some level of portrayal that makes it
closer to irl lightspeed, even if not equivalent by any stretch of the imagination.
It's all about degrees of general closeness, not attempts to exclude something because it doesn't exactly behave according to irl physics.
In One Piece lightspeed isn't even close to anything even approximating irl light in terms of speed going by the visuals and everything else. Why would I put it on the same pedestal as something like DC comics in this sense? You should treat different media differently, appropriately to their content and context.
