always love to see people talking about mezzo American myths. while greek and norse are cool, modern media has made them effectively hog everyone's attention
Hold up, is that Camazotz from Fate Grand Order?? based :)
As a YEC it's so cool to see the echoes of the Biblical narrative, clearly misremembered. In the very beginning, the universe is viewed as a formless ocean of water over which the spirit of God "hovered," which uses a word that refers to a bird brooding over its nest. God is of course a Trinity of persons which are one being. The Mayans remembered that there were two other individuals involved at some point and also a serpent, but exactly when and what they did they were iffy on. And they remembered that humanity was created at some point. But the water, feathers, three in one that creates the universe, and serpent involved are the dawn of humanity are all fascinating fragmentary memories of the true history which their ancestors would've heard before the Babel dispersion.
@cosmictreason2242 Bible stan😮💨
@@LumaSloth can't cope with the facts i see
Bro thinks the Mayans met people from Europe before the Spanish came over lmao, the book hadn't even made it to them yet@@cosmictreason2242
Glad to see that you're covering the Mayan Pantheon. Looking forward to seeing the Aztec Pantheon video. If you wanted to, you could do a 3rd part that combines your Aztec and Mayan video into a full blown Mesoamerican God power scaling video. But only if you want to though.
Imagine being hit so hard you turn into a fucking constellation that’s some next level cartoon shenanigans
You're one of my favourite channels for covering these mythological topics, cause being a huge mythology fan i always wondered how powerful were really the actual gods and beings from different pantheons and not their depictions in games or movies, but actual real world myth.
Great video. Its one of the longest you’ve made and the quality increase really shows! I was always vary interested in how strong the mayan gods were but i never really had the patience to look into it.
BTW an idea i had was that it could be fun to powerscale the notable yokai from japonese mythology. Just an idea though.
If Touhou is anything to go by, youkai can be BIG STRONK.
@@Celso.Delgado From what i know the strongest yokai are either one of the nihon sandai aku yokai (=the three most evil, Tamamo no Mae, Shuten Douji, Emperor Sutoku) Otakemaru (a being who was both Oni and Kami), or Yamata no Orochi (who was considered strong even by Susanoo no mikoto).
My bet is on one of these.
If Huracan can indeed create concepts, then that would put him at Narrative level. He'd be stronger than 99% of fiction simultaneously at that point.
If he can create concepts and he’s narrative-level, I wonder who would win if he fought SCP-682’s true conceptual form.
It's good to address the Mesoamerican pantheons individually even though they do have a lot of similarities. Not only are there some important differences and it's more respectful to those cultures WE GET ANOTHER VIDEO!! I'm looking forward to the one on Aztec deities. Specifically I'm interested in how Tlaloc and Xolotl measure up.
Nerd
Did you forget what channel you're on? We are all nerds here@@emptyblue6530
Pillar man theme was the cherry on top.
Glad to have find out this channel thanks to Lovecraft
I wanna see u include gods like Tlazoteotl, Cipatcli, xipe Totec, qnd Ītzpāpālōtl in the Aztec video!! Mesomerican gods are so cool and as someone who has Mixteca blood im absolutely so happy you're making videos like this!!!
allow me to disappoint you right now because i am only going to cover 3 gods:
tezcatlipoca, huitzilopochtli and quetzalcoatl.
@@literarywho tezcalipoca is one of my favorite gods!!!!! That's still so awesome!!!! The 4 smoking mirrors are the coolest gods!!! I'm still really really happy you're doing them!!
@@literarywho can you do the native american and chinese pantheons?
@@literarywhocan you do god, pre new testament nerf
@@skyreaper27 Wait he got nerfed in the New Testament?
As somebody who personally goes by the name Nyarli in every day life your review of the lovecraft power system was beautifully explained. I love that this next power scaling video is just as good. Thank you for what you do.
Fantastic Vid! It's cool to see a more obscure pantheon like this and what they can do. It's interesting to me that the highest deity and the only one seeming to be eternal is also the one comprised of three. The idea of a divine eternal trinity seems common to many religions, possibly due to the usefulness of triangles in construction for creating stability.
I saw this comment on one of your older videos and I absolutely agree that after you do all the pantheons you'd like to do a tier list vid for the mythological pantheons would be extremely hype!
I can’t wait to see your Aztec video dude! I have watched all of your mythology videos and love them! So thank you for being an amazing TH-camr!
Love your videos! Neat to learn more about the Mayan gods.
I love the way you explain things. You're editing is top tier too. Great job!
Love this video, and your videos in general! Great channel, amazing job, greetings from Germany!
Finaly I watched all of your videos about the lovecraftian gods at least 3 times! Great video by the way
How strong are the Aztec gods vs the Mayan gods?
They are basically the same, think of Romans adopting Greek gods. Same thing.
@T5hammer pitting the maya pantheon against the aztec pantheon is essentially the equivalent of punching yourself in the face and then asking if you won the fight.
@@literarywho Quiet analogy nerd, no one cares
Damm, man, you deserve way more subscribers, your content is great :D
I love this style of content. That being said, don't feel afraid to branch out if you want Id listen to you talk about anything it seems lol
Damn, I was really expecting more from Kukulkan considering how strong Quetzalcoatl is in the Fate series. Hopefully the Aztec version has more feats to pull from.
Kuku has bigger feats than Quetz in Fate though? Like...WAY bigger feats.
@@DeltafangEX I mean the Pan-Human History version of Kukulkan, which is also just Quetzalcoatl, not the Lostbelt Kukulkan that is a completely different being.
@@RarutoUchiha2 No, no I get that. It's just that I wouldn't take the ability to manifest as essentially the same goddess around a vastly more powerful (let alone "alien") power source for granted in terms of power scaling.
This was a really cool video! Its a neat idea to talk about gods this way.
Also god DAMN Im hyped to see huitzilopochtli and tezcatlipoca in the mexica video, tezcatlipoca deadass feels a little bit like a joke character and I love it
Really love this channel, a literal treasure trove.
Your videos seriously scratch that itch I always have in the back of my head
You should do the power scales of Christianity or at least gnosticism, those mythologies are really interesting after explaining how OP God is because of all the hierarchies.
Fwiw Gnosticism is by definition not Christianity. As a YEC it's so cool to see the echoes of the Biblical narrative, clearly misremembered. In the very beginning, the universe is viewed as a formless ocean of water over which the spirit of God "hovered," which uses a word that refers to a bird brooding over its nest. God is of course a Trinity of persons which are one being. The Mayans remembered that there were two other individuals involved at some point and also a serpent, but exactly when and what they did they were iffy on. And they remembered that humanity was created at some point. But the water, feathers, three in one that creates the universe, and serpent involved are the dawn of humanity are all fascinating fragmentary memories of the true history which their ancestors would've heard before the Babel dispersion.
The Christian concept of God differs so much between denomination. For example, in Mormonism God is essential an uplifted mortal from another planet who didn't create the universe but in Orthodox Christianity God's Nature is literal beyond description and can only be spoken of in what it is NOT and the "qualities" of God that people see are only His "Activities." So he'd have to split up the video to cover different versions of the Christian God (similar to what he did for Zeus) only there would be a lot more versions.
@@alpinefool8814 It would be interesting if it was a 2 parter, one for the hierarchies and one for the different versions.
Worth the wait bro ✊️
Love your video! We need more powerscaling of mythology gods, bcos its fun
good stuff as always!
since you thought on the idea i think a potential third video combining them would be cool. then you can say to the made up mythology and history nerds, "i already did specific videos for them, but its better if i combined them for power scaling. go watch those, but remember they are about power scaling not history."
or or... eventually a mega video power scaling multi pantheons at onces and in relation to each other.. but thats just my hopeful thinking andndesire for long-form content
love these videos please keep making them!
Awesome video man
I could probably take them
You can because they aren't real 😑
In a fight right?
@@Based_Gigachad_001 nah even if they were real I could still take them
I have been anticipating that, i love all your videos, please have my kids
Thanks bro i enjoy these videos alot
love the pillar men theme at the start LOL
Love your channel bro can you please go over some of the Japanese gods like Amaterasu, Susano,izanami etc I really the content 🙏
🙏Thank you for the video🙏
Love these vids :)
Since you're done with the lovecraftian mythos, any chance you could make a comparison with Deus ex machina Demonbane? nobody has done a comparison from the visual novel and the actual lovecraftian mythos in terms of scaling.
Just an idea considering that right now you're like the G.O.A.T. (Shub disaproves of this pun) on this topic.
Can you do one on the african gods like the orisha.
Bro I love your videos. I hope you can make this your full time job someday and consistently upload. Please do an in depth Sun Wukong vid.❤
thank you for your good wishes. as for your request... i don't see the point.
i still stand by everything i said in my video and making a longer video won't make wukong stronger. i already covered the most powerful things in his repertoire and the 72 earthly transformations alone makes wukong more powerful than anything *you* can throw at him.
Bro your just read my favorite old god lore just to teach me more about my favorite cultural ;-; I love you ❤️
You could do a video about the Tupi Guarani Gods, they are native to Brazil and very rich in not-very-know history 🇧🇷
Nah Incan Gods better
channel is underrated af
Great video
I love these videos
Mayan, Atzek and other sister civilization gods are basically one and the same however humanity can't comprehend their existence so those gods manifest differently to different civilizations, basically they have emenations that are shaped by human belief. The further you go back in time and trace the similair gods the closer you get to their original forms
I already know the Original Form
And it's what allowed you to make your comment and me to make my comment
It's called *The Brain*
Do a video on Anime version of the god vs the actual god, for example Sun wo kong vs Jin Morin
I love this channel
Found your channel and watched the sumerian gods. Because I am new to mythology I confused sumerians with babilonians at first, so I have 3 recomendations:
How strong were babilonian gods
How strong are goetia demons
How strong are the known caananite gods
youtube does not like the names of certain /dem/-][*ons.
i don't even know if you can say the word "/dem/-][*on" but i know the algorithm will get *really* mad if i say "/sat/-*-t][an" or "lu/
@@literarywho please do Chinese mythology
I’ll never forget what u have been through Camazotz
Do the hindu mythology next, would be a fun video in my opinion and the hindu myths also have many Achilles type warriors too
He's back
i'd like to see a video discussing the powers of the gods of the indigenous people of brazil, they are very interesting
Pillar man theme makes it perfect!
Hehe good video like always hee ho :3
4:11 you actually got this guy's power right, he has the power to flood the target's mind with boundess information per second, completely incapacitating them
I like Teh PIllar Men theam song in the back :)
EDIT
Do you think about making how stronk is God of the Bible video?
Put all these on a list btw for all of them from weakest to strongest
You have posted plenty of vidoes showing how powerful many gods of myth are, but I have a question for you:
How powerful is Composite Folklore Boogeyman?
Hay man can you do Persia gods
Could you do prophet power scaling, or would the be too controversial?
I loved this vid would like to see u powerscale hindhi god's
Hope you use FGO Quetzoquoatl for the Aztec video
i will not.
If you do an Aztec video please include the flayed god
i am only going to cover 3 gods:
tezcatlipoca, huitzilopochtli and quetzalcoatl.
Hollow hunger when discussing the underworld was the right choice for this
In Aztec myth, Quetzatcoatl is absolutely busted
can you please do a similar analysys for the Indian gods too?
Can you rank how powerful all types of angels are?
Pls do the orisha next
So what you're saying is that bare minimum, to stand a chance against any of these gods a fictional character has to
a)be immune to or have the ability to manipulate fate (for the Summerians)
b)be unaffected by power negation (for the Mayans)
What other specific traits do they need against each pantheon?
I think after this you should make a video on the Chinese gods
They just have ancestor worship
Can you also dive into the SCP lore? Maybe the power level of scarlet king or something similar 🤷♂️
Please use Fate's version of Quetzalcoatal for her representation in the Aztec video.
i will not.
@@literarywho why
@@lordmythos too sexy I guess. Might distract the audience.
The series is jujutsu Kaisen, and I recommend the manga it’s very good, but you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to, but I think you’ll like the themes in it
There is multiple pseudo-omniscience types, there is the omni where you can know all that exists currently or in the past such as all universal constants and also the omni where you can know all that will exist such as knowledge that will be learned in the future but not necessarily something that will never be discovered obviously the second is a stronger pseudo omniscience, perfect omni means having no limit omniscience knowing the outcome before you even start past present and future are mastered all possibilities that can exist are known.
There is also a distinction between whether your knowledge is known simultaneousl or not, and whether the knowledge is outside of your will (molinism) or part of it (Calvinism)
Ok about the ability to turn off powers, does this ability work on any creature from any universe. Like for example lets take a dreamer from lovecraft mythos and put them against a mayan god that has the ability to turn off powers will the dreamer be affected?
the answer is yes.
@@literarywho thank you for answering. And your videos are quite fun and informative.
Please do other gods like the Philippines and Hindu's as well
One question who are the sources you show? Did someone translate the original Mayan writings?
TH-cam seems to be trying to make it as hard as possible to find, but the video description still exists.
Yooooooo myhtology powerscaling is back
Huracan feels like the gnostic demiurge damn
How About Inca Pantheon Gods Are They Strong
is the ultimate counter to the Mayan or maya gods ultipotence?(inf strength, in a way)
imagine if Hunaphu and Escannor met in person, both representing the sun and both making like an arm wrestling contest
If you really like alot gods and mitology there is a game called smite. they have a thing called god reveal and explain their mitilogy 10/10 :)
Please powerscale Slavic Mythology and Islamic Mythology one day plus please power scale Indrajit (Meghanada).
Can you please talk about the Bionicle universe?😊
the only thing i know about bionicle is the piraka rap.
@@literarywho lol who doesn’t remember that?
What about Itzamna is he strong? And how would the Norse and Greek gods fare against the Maya gods?
unless you can translate the codices, there practically is nothing about Itzamna in written form.
my personal headcanon, and i would like to stress this is *my* *headcanon*
my headcanon is that Itzamna is the bacabs.
as for how the maya gods compare against the greek and norse, they are more powerful than the norse and weaker than the greek.
@@literarywho ok, thanks for answering.
@@literarywho what about the egyptians and the lovecraftians gods? I would assume the latter ones are way above all other pantheons since they exists in lovecraft work and they dont rank particularly high, but what is your opinion? Where do lovecraft and egyptians pantheon rank compated with the others? And would the lovecraftian gods be capable of countering the mayan ability to remove power? Keep up with your work by the way, your channel is awesome 🤩
4:26
This gets kinda philosophical, but their omniscience could be attributed to how they know everything because they *made* everything, and not like incidentally or subconsciously like other gods, there was proper intention behind every attempt at creation, so the 3 failed attempts can be seen pretty much as iterations, much like an inventor, and like an inventor, they know everything about their creations because they had to know to create and repeat the results. It's actually really scientific once you think about it.
How about how powerful are the slavic, Chinese, norse, native american, celtic gods?
humans in mythology maya have civilization type 4 😮
Perfection
Just because one is omniscient doesn't mean that they also have good judgment.
So, heres a random question if you read this. How high would you rate literal God (whichever, maybe ever interaction) in terms of power. Or is that a bit too much of a Touchy subject. If so, what would you personally say would be thee most powerful ability in fiction, other than just being a goku fan fiction writer oc of yampsha. (Personally i think the concept of being the boundergy between fiction and non-fiction probably is unbeatable. Because killing them would just mean you transcended into another higher fiction, and fusing literally does nothing but basically makes you that guy now since you can't really transcend past yourself since that isnt how our real world works.) Also 10 bucks that's the reason God made man, if you genuinely think about it, its literally just a guy writing fanfiction and just deciding he wants to live in his fan fiction world. Head cannon uwu(yes. I did do the funny face.)
I'd say "Knowing everything that exists doesn't mean you know the results of totally new shit you came up with"
but you know, they can see the future. Sooooooo.
Can't defy fate clause? Omniscient of present and past future vision a bit spotty?
Can You Make A Video Khaos From Greek mythology.
pretty sure i talk about chaos in my video about the strongest in greek myth.
@@literarywho Oh Ok.
You have a great accent, what is it
4:11 actually yeah that's pretty close good job
would giornos GER resist power null? a genuine question
Cool video, but how powerful is a Buddah?
Make a video on the strongest character in all of fiction
there is no such thing as "the strongest in fiction".
the power escalation ladder is never ending.
you can always add a +1.
you can always come up with something more powerful.
Technically that character is "myself," because while it's not a real god and therefore fictional, it has the largest effect on the real world out of al fictional l gods and by that standard is the strongest
Can we get more representation for the Mayan deities? Smite is the only one I can think
if you are starving for some mesoamerican gods representation in mainstream media, there is always the cringefest that is the fate franchise.
@@literarywho Ah yes, the franchise that turned two serial killers and at least one dictator into waifus
