Omni-Man Vs. Bardock: Facts or Cap? Part 3 - The Verdict

Image
 Before the Verdict Size Calcs When it comes to series with large-scale feats of destruction and speed, a common talking point is just how large the relevant areas are. When such information isn't clearly presented, size calcs are used to figure things out. This allows a more accurate measure can be achieved...in-theory. In-practice, its a complete mess. Most creators don't bother to give locations specific sizes because it doesn't matter to the story they're trying to tell. Even when they do, said measurements are constantly changing due to the inherent flexibility of writing and especially illustration. Thus, most size calcs rely on measuring pixels ratios in specific shots and applying them to others, utilizing sparse character measurements and the occasional statements on location for reference.

LEGO not getting on the show would have been a crime, and it getting the first stop-motion fight makes perfect sense. Now, let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Half of the episodes this season have been filler, obvious stomps, and/or bombed in views (usually all 3). We're coming directly off Aang Vs. Aether being a top 5 biggest bomb in the show's history, and this i...
