Spoilery title but I would know hoe to phrase the question. Anyway...

So today at work, after a spirited debated about Scarlett Johansson Vs. Charlize Theron, the movie LUCY came up. Some of us liked the movie, while others thought it was "meh" at best and I am in the latter. So by the time Lucy achieves 100% but before she (de)evolves into an "omnipotent flash drive" is she more powerful than anyone else on screen in any movie? Didn't she have the ability to control time and space and travel back to the time of the big bang? And all this from a bag a dope. I don't think I understood this movie.

I can't think of another on-screen character that was this OP on film,

Spoiler

Maybe Dr. Manhattan?

 

[Megalosaro]

Live action only? I can think of a few anime characters

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

God has numerous on screen depictions, so no.

 

[xxracerxx]

Morgan Freeman

 

[il Diavolo]

god himself was in the same movie, so no.

edit: godamnit racer

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Western cinema only? Otherwise we gonna get goku v superman real quick ITT.

Wasn't Lucy's power bounded by the fact that if she didn't keep taking the drug she would disintegrate into a stream of blue dust?

Doc Manhattan got this since even if he's blasted into atoms he can just reconstruct himself and had the power to assemble matter at will from subatomic particles. His only weakness was his gradual alienation from the fate of humanity.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Dr Manhattan surely

But good god Lucy was a terrible movie. Especially that ending

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Not if you count the multiple depictions of god/devil/death

 

[Patryn]

Don't even need God, just a guy with the powers of God: Bruce Almighty.

 

[Servbot24]

Lucy and Dr Manhattan have near limitless capabilities within the confines of the universe, but God exists outside of the universe. Morgan Freeman wins.

Horrible movie btw.

 

[HStallion]

The Saint of Killers would shoot Lucy in the face along with every mention of God in this thread.

Spoiler

Sorry but not enough Gun.

 

[Lulubop]

[n00bsauce87]

Phoenix Force Jean Grey? The OG Jean Grey that is.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

So basically:

1. Morgan Freeman
2. Lucy
3. Dr Manhattan

And yes that movie was really "something"

 

[Slayven]

Phoenix Force Jean Grey? The OG Jean Grey that is.

The phoenix isn't even the most powerful being in X-men Canon

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

So basically:

1. Morgan Freeman
2. Lucy
3. Dr Manhattan

Other powerful characters include that kid who could do anything in The Twilight Zone episode It's a Good life, Mister Mxyzptlk and of course Bat Mite.

 

[n00bsauce87]

Not that I want to argue about comics with slayven because I'm already dead, but who would be considered more powerful as the script writes them as such in the canon?

 

[Yaboosh]

She was the singularity. We don't even know how powerful she became.

 

[Slayven]

Legion put the universe into a box. Literally, not even a cool box, just a plain wooden box.

 

[forgeforsaken]

Q is pretty ridiculous.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Her best power is turning the whole universe into an

usb flashdrive

I mean, when will your fave animes.

 

[Parallax]

The Saint of Killers would shoot Lucy in the face along with every mention of God in this thread.

Spoiler

Sorry but not enough Gun.

If she managed to step in front of him, sure. If not, good luck on that

Q is pretty ridiculous.

I'll go with this

 

[Baroquemantic]

I thought Lucy was a pretty awesome movie. To answer your question--I have no idea.

 

[Ponn]

I thought this was going to be about oscar worthy performance.

 

[HStallion]

If she managed to step in front of him, sure. If not, good luck on that

I figure if he can kill God, the Devil and even the original death himself, those guns of his can kill Lucy. Also his guns never misfire, never miss, and always kill. That and he seems to be nigh unkillable/destroyable. Maybe Saitama could take him out but he's even more broken.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

God has numerous on screen depictions, so no.

I've never seen Taylor Swift in movies

 

[freenudemacusers]

I've never seen Taylor Swift in movies

And u probably never will

 

[Platy]

Depends if you consider her serious or a joke character =P

 

[Xe4]

Nah, that's Popeye with a can of spinach.

Live action only, I dunno. There's a ton of super OP godlike characters.

 

[Oblivion]

Why does that shitty movie have a respectable 67% on RT? It should be 6.7%!

Sorry, but even ma gurl, Scarjo couldn't save that film from being a flaming pile. How the fuck does a souped up form of ecstasy supposed to turn you into living energy? What the fuck?

 

[itwasTuesday]

shes a joke.

 

[Finaika]

Scarlet Witch.

 

[fredrancour]

Scarlet Witch.

"No more power level threads."


Except the OP specified "on-screen." I don't think any of her film or tv depictions have been reality-destroying?




I feel like whenever I hear this topic come up, it escalates into a mention of some anime mech that's basically a god that is the sort of OP hax abomination that eldritch horrors tell scary stories about. i can't remember its name tho. Unless "on-screen" meant "western film" and not "any entertainment based upon moving pixels"

You're thinking of Demonbane.

It beats everything, probably including Saitama from OnePunchMan who beats things that have ridiculous powers.

I liked that she told her friend to go to the doctor

shes essentially gaf

Spoiler

God isn't all-powerful when SOK kills him. He doesn't really seem to be able to do much of anything when he isn't on his throne, really, certainly not the reality-warping shenanigans in LUCY.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Q is pretty ridiculous.

Q is great when you realize that he's considered a dick even by his own race.

 

[Mental Atrophy]

I've never seen Taylor Swift in movies

I saw her in The Giver in Netflix the other night. Mediocre movie--I don't recommend it.

I don't watch Star Wars. Summary of this dude's abilities, pls.

 

[MC Safety]

George Burns.

That is all.

 

[A-V-B]

I don't watch Star Wars. Summary of this dude's abilities, pls.

He's one with the Weirding Way, and he uses the Force to reshape the Matrix as he sees fit.

But he's not omnipotent.

Spoiler

they had to trick god for him to be able to get the chance to kill him. Lucy has no weakness like the throne, so there's no reason to even put herself in potential harms way

 

[saunderez]

Q is great when you realize that he's considered a dick even by his own race.

The best part is he has nothing to do but fuck with various Star Trek captains.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Jesus Christ. I didn't expect to walk right into unmarked Preacher spoilers mixed in with marked spoilers.
Really?

 

[cirrhosis]

luc besson is the great est director for a certain kind of mood but ive only seen a couple of his films

lucy sounds pretty good but i've held off on it due to people bashing the shit out of it

i like dbz power levels though so it sounds kinda OP, should prpobably check it out

 

[Kvik]

Doctor Manhattan > *

 

[GrandHarrier]

Omnipotence and the power to do literally anything. Usually uses those powers to fuck with people because he's bored.

It's really not good. People bash it for legitimate reasons. It's a failure of a movie.

 

[abstract alien]

Why did she turn into a flash drive?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Superman 1978. Turned back time just by flying against earths rotation really fast. Didn't touch the planet just the sheer force of his speed was enough to spin earth backwards, keep everyone from flying out of the planet (somehow) and come back to the exact moment before Lois Lane is killed. That is power.
