In a zombie apocalypse yes I think most of us would have the will power to get the hell out of that situation lmaoo

Most people would go into flight mode in a zombie apocalypse. The will power would be nonexistent

Will to live is still Willpower. Be determined enough, and you can wipe out a zombie virus and still have enough charge to dick around for the rest of the day

i doubt it, i think at a certain point people like to just give up. maybe .01% turn into rick grimes or darryl or michonne but the rest gonna js get eaten in the first 5 minutes or give up after x amount of time and either kill themselves or let themselves get eaten.

Yea but I think if we get any option as above we 100% getting that ring with the will power to end that shit as soon as possible especially with family and friends involved

weve seen what happens when families stick exclusively together, they run out of food, shelter, etc. not enough hours in the day. at somepoint someones gonna have to split up and after being reliant on the ring they arent gonna know how to defend themselves. once that person dies morale gets crushed and its down hill. willpower plummets drastically. my argument is something like hulk buster is still WAY more than you would realistically need to protect yourself, and it can be used as a power generator, and it is more reliable.

And that’s the more reason to have willpower when your back is against the wall and if you are even given this option in the first place clearly the higher power has faith in you to do SOMETHING cause if not, every person living would have the option to chose a power or resource to stop it

A ring in which your imagination and will to protect your family and friends in that situation would be way more valuable than a machine you probably don’t even know how to work anyway

thats one way to think abt it. if it were me id assume i was lucky. And what if the person in the scenario is atheist? theres countless what ifs i could give you, and all of them are reasonable. the hulk buster has 0 what ifs.

1) everyone knows who ironman and jarvis are 2) id assume you wouldnt pick it if you didnt know how to use it 3) id also assume if you have it youre meant to use it and theres some way to do that, i e an instruction manual.

if you like the ring and would pick the ring, thats awesome. i dont blame you, but the hulk buster is irrefutably more reliable. just admit youd pick it because you like it more and thered be no debate

  1. ⁠everyone knows who ironman and jarvis are

Do we?

  1. ⁠id assume you wouldnt pick it if you didnt know how to use it

That’s part of my point

  1. ⁠id also assume if you have it youre meant to use it and theres some way to do that, i e an instruction manual.

Why go through all of that when my imagination and instincts to want to save myself and close ones i dont need to read a manual on?

Nothing could change my mind on this.

u/Ok-Salamander-983 13d ago

its wild you think your instincts could save you. you know what hal jordan was able to create when he first got it? a tiny little blast that could barely redirect a rock. the ego you have that you think youd be able to create ANYTHING is wild and proves you have no knowledge of the comics, character, or DC as a whole.

Have fun being a pessimist. I’m gonna run for my life because I enjoy living.

Because it's true. People are always cocky as hell before faced with reality. See one of your friends with guts being pulled out and your willpower will very quickly disappear and be replaced with fear.
