What people don't realize is that powerscaling is fun to talk about in hypothetical fights between characters but when it actually happens in a comic or show the fight goes the way the story needs it to go. It's not bad writing just because it didn't go the way that online discussions think it would go.
It’s bad writing if the character isn’t set up to believably have that much/little power though. It doesn’t necessarily have to be spelled out, but the inconsistencies are pretty stout in Invincible
Set up how? The comic never gives hard numbers for anything. Power scaling is entirely based on fan theories which may or may not be correct. Bad writing would be to have such a rigid structure that nothing unexpected could ever happen.

Wow who could have ever imagined single instances of combat with numerous factors at play wouldn’t give objective measures of power.
God I hate powerscalers
