I'm glad Suggsverse exists.
Let’s get one thing straight: Suggsverse is, by almost every literary metric, bad fiction. Its narratives are bloated, its characters are paper-thin, and its prose ranges from laughably overwrought to downright unreadable. But here's the twist—its very existence is a good thing. In fact, Suggsverse serves an unintentionally brilliant purpose: it acts as a parody, a mirror held up to the often-absurd world of power-scaling and fan-driven character wankery.
Suggsverse is essentially what happens when the obsession with making characters "the most powerful" is taken to its most extreme, ridiculous conclusion. It’s like someone fed every hyperbolic fan argument into a blender, hit "liquefy," and poured out an endless cascade of omnipotent, multiversal, reality-defying beings. The characters aren’t just strong; they’re so absurdly overpowered that they make entities like the One-Above-All or Zeno look like background extras.
But here’s the kicker: being powerful doesn’t make a character interesting. Suggsverse inadvertently proves this point better than any well-crafted critique could. The stories lack tension because conflict requires stakes, and stakes require limits. When a character can blink away universes without breaking a sweat, where’s the suspense? Where’s the drama? The emotional investment? Gone, evaporated in the vacuum of omnipotence.
What makes Suggsverse valuable is the wake-up call it offers. It should make fans pause and reconsider the idea that "stronger character = better character." Great storytelling thrives on limitations, struggles, and the human (or at least relatable) experience. Characters like Batman, Spider-Man, or even Goku are compelling not because they can punch the hardest, but because of their flaws, their growth, and the challenges they face.
Suggsverse is the logical endpoint of power-scaling taken to its most ludicrous extreme. Its unreadable triteness is a testament to the fact that power alone cannot carry a story. In that sense, it's almost poetic: the arguably most powerful fictional franchise in existence is also one of the least engaging. That contrast is the ultimate lesson for anyone who thinks invincibility equals narrative superiority.
So yes, Suggsverse is bad fiction. But it's also a necessary parody, a cautionary tale wrapped in layers of cosmic absurdity. And for that, we should be grateful it exists.
