This is a universal and common sense method of living your life regardless of who you are. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Not my power. If you wanna talk about how they get powers in movies, let’s talk about how Christian exorcists are always doing weird Bible shit to kill or expel the demons. I’m not even Christian but that’s the best example I got.

1. It’s simple physics. Matter is conserved, and you can’t have more then you’re given. How do we as creatures gain mass? By eating! These things don’t have a grocery store. I absolutely eat more than they do, so logically and scientifically my mass is greater. Them being taller just puts them at a greater disadvantage as they’re easier to move. A short person weighing 100 pounds is harder to carry then a tall person weighing 100 pounds.

2. If they get supernatural devil powers, then I get to say special prayers and seek refuge in God’s protection against their sorcery. This is hypothetical, so we can assume this would work, because these curses defy our reality’s laws so that guarantees the existence of an omnipotent creator capable of protecting me from evil like that.

Supernatural power for them but not for me? Come on. That makes no sense. If these things were to exist to defy physics, God would definitely be real because how else would they be able to do such a thing.

Counter-counter point (wtf is even going on) 1. Simple physics. Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration. Just me punching this thing is going to affect it a lot more than it’ll affect me, since I have a greater mass to resist Newton’s third law, resulting in me having the physical advantage every single time. Also, it being taller does make things awkward for me, but anyone who’s fought knows that being taller and lighter is a major disadvantage. Sure you have a long reach, but what’s the point if you reach out only to be grabbed by the wrist and pulled into whatever attack is coming next.

Counter-counter point 2. You’re right, I totally agree. Believing in a God by itself isn’t enough. You already mentioned what you need. My religion of Islam already has its own prayers, I just didn’t bother mentioning them. Good catch though.

Counter-counter point 3. By “end it” I mean kill it. I didn’t go into detail because this is all hypothetical. In a real situation there are a variety of factors that could go into you killing something. Feel free to think about some potential ways this could happen.

I just thought of it, I wouldn’t say it’s a hobby 😭

If these creatures get to have supernatural powers given to them by whatever devil, then we’re going to assume I also have God’s protection against their extra-dimensional abilities, which means they need whatever abilities they have in this reality: strength, speed, durability, intelligence etc. which means as a result they can’t just use black magic on me. They also don’t have a movie plot to back up their overpoweredness.

1. Taller doesn’t mean stronger or heavier. This thing likely weighs less than me, so being taller spreads the weight out and makes it even easier to defeat. 2. I’m religious so I’m protected from supernatural curse. 3. I’m going to end it anyway, so no after effects save for potential injuries and/or trauma.

Yeah but that’s fiction. The monster is always overpowered for the sake of the film. Real life is different. Real life is why a human can kill an 800 pound tiger with a sharp rock and also why a tiny little tick can paralyze an entire human with a single bite given the right diseases. What you said is of course the smartest, best, and safest course of action, but that strategy goes with any living organism that may pose a threat to you. I’m not talking about survival and logical choices, I’m just talking exclusively about combat with scary creatures like these should they exist with realistic abilities and limitations. I’m thinking any man with bravery and a fit body (not fat or skinny, doesn’t have to be muscular just not unhealthy) could probably beat the shit out of half of these “scary female with wide eyes and a large mouth and long black hair” type creatures. Also, muscular man that’s big and strong doesn’t mean stupid. Often times in reality, in fact most of the time, big muscular men are very intelligent, and educated as they exist in the modern world with unlimited access to information (albeit they would have been just intelligent and not educated prior to the modern era). I never liked the brute stereotype. Take my upvote regardless for being clever.

A major figure in history? Interesting, are you inferring that’s he extremely intelligent and aware? Possibly even physically built well? Maybe charismatic in his own way, potentially even handsome had he not been ill? That statement honestly goes hard. Like your among few people in the world that knows about this one unfortunate soul who could have been a larger-than-life world changing person reduced to a sick man in a mental hospital. That’s like if Alexander the Great never became great and was instead born a hunchbacked man with a stutter, endless potential but limited by factors out of his control. That’s sad.

I always thought about how scary entities like this are probably physically weak and not too intelligent, just scary, and how if they were real I’d hope I’d be brave and reasonable enough to just straight up kill it instead of running away or panicking. Kinda like with spider or cockroaches, we humans tend to run away and panic when something looks weird even though we could easily kill it hundreds of times over.
