I mean, personally I see taking Vs debates more seriously than just for fun is more engaging, but requires and in depth amount of research to reach certain conclusions, which I DO enjoy
As opposed to franchises like Transformers, Star Wars, or DBZ, MLP has simply hasn't shown much on the battlefield, which forces us to take bits and pieces of hat we DO know and gather and form analytical guesstimations on what they could and should be capable of, despite the lack of physical evidence. This is often the case in any Vs scenario
For example, I believe {this Youtuber made a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2TA9coGLzM) explaining how lethal and devastating Stormtroopers, of all henchmen in fiction, actually are compared to how they're represented in official canon
