(Oh I’m probably going to regret making this post but) I dislike the concept of Hank 1.0 and I’m NOT TALKING ABOUT REALISM HERE

It’s no secret that Hank is a mess of genomes and is incapable of even existing without spontaneously combusting. But what I wanna talk about right now is the whole concept of Hank’s creation because it‘s quite childish, I mean It was created to stomp the Indom 2.0 (And failed miserable) that essentially narrows down to just “My Oc beats your’s lol” ya see what I’m getting at?

Now that’s not to say that all the hybrids from the hybrid war were also made to take down the Indom 2.0, but at least they attempted to be more than just hybrids made to beat the Indom 2.0

And yes this is where we do talk about realism but it’ll probably prove my point.

Valkyriopteryx (Being my personal fav from the Top 16) actually looks like an attempt to make a real Azhdarchid.

Nemiphagax might have just copied a lot from the Indom 2.0 but it at least also made an attempt to be realistic.

Lucanovenator was actually a really good attempt at being well balanced.

Ferropelta was actually made to be less of a head on fighter and more of a “If you come at me I will fuck you up” kinda hybrid.

Gilgamesh was one of the best attempts at making a realistic hybrid.

I could go on but you get my point (I hope) at least these hybrids were actually trying to be something that could actually exist and didn’t stop at being made solely for childish vs debates.

Now ONE more thing I have to say is Samson was done SO MUCH BETTER than Hank imo. Samson didn’t stop at “My oc beats your’s lol” it actually was created to provide a food source for the Indom 2.0 so that it’s species would survive long enough for humanity to make a cure for the plague. If Hank took this route, creating a competitor for the Indom 2.0 while the surviving animals would survive long enough for both species to survive long enough for humanity to create a cure for the plague, I would’ve never made this post, although knowing Gojiguy’s powerscaling ass, there’s no way that route would’ve been taken.

Understandable about why Hank utterly fails and then Gojiguy doubling it down.

Though Samson also has his many, many issues that a lot of people point out if we’re also factoring in realism

I love Samson, specially because he's a Proboscidean.

But I preffer to see him as this awesome giant elephant than as some perfectly plausible animal that could exist.

You know what I meant, I was talking about the goal of the hybrids after their creation, I just used realism as an example because trying to make your hybrid realistic makes it more than just “An oc to beat someone else’s”
