[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9521411, member: 29398"] I only know the movies, so for me it's just 15+ years. :) I'll admit, though, I did forget about Captain Marvel. Her powers are getting more toward the deity level. Not at all. The story simply changes to something other than challenging deities directly. And sure, Avengers Endgame had everything nicely balanced to make for a good fight in the moment. However, fight opponents is not the role I see deities filling. Minions, maybe, but even they are immortal. Also, the way I see deities, their plots and plans usually span many millenia where played campaigns maybe span a few years. Hence, the deities mostly leave the day-to-day stuff to mortals to deal with, and that's where the PCs might come in handy. Only if you see the deities as potential direct opponents in battle. Me, I want there to always be a (much) bigger fish than the PCs or any other mortals can ever become within a typical campaign. That's the deities' role. [/QUOTE]
