Which word sounds better?

Question

Invincible or Unstoppable

If I were to put two of those two words in a sentence, which word sounds better than the other or holds a greater impact, in other words more power than than the other word.

For example:Diffucult and impossible. impossible is more powerful than difficult. I want the weak word to go first and then the powerful one to go last.

Answer 1

Invincible

Answer 2

These two words are not synonymous, but so close in meaning i would not use them together. You wouldn't say, "the pasture is verdant and green. The sky was blue and azure." Using two words that mean nearly the same thing is redundant and weakens your statement.
Also are you describing a person, a military campaign, or what? Invincible connotes a person or group of persons, like an army, or a quality that is being personified like invincible Wisdom or Justice or Truth. Unstoppable can be a machine, a person, a plague. Invincible also implies a positive opinion, whereas unstoppable is neutral. Negative opinion about the same trait would be relentless or stubborn. Invincible is definitely stronger but may be hyperbole. Sometimes less is more.

Answer 3

I'm trying to figure out how you would use a gauge to remove eyes. Do you mean gouged out? If so that's a word used a lot. I'd say try to find something more original. 'Scooped' doesn't sound horrifying enough for what is happening. Are they using a spoon to remove the eyes? Maybe 'spooned'. But look at the sentence again. If someone was spooning out my sister's eyes, I wouldn't be looking on in fear. I'd be screaming in terror, fighting to get to her, scrabbling my fingers against the person doing the work. So look at how you can make this whole sentence stronger and more believable. Maybe break it apart. You have the girl watching, and rewrite that to show her terror, even if she's just frozen in terror (although that's a cliche). Then, to add to the reader's terror, show the person doing the deed. Instead of telling the readers the eyes were scooped out, show us the black robed hulking figure digging fingers into the eye sockets, pulling them out dripping...more detail here will leave a greater impression and make for stronger writing. Remember, always show, don't tell. Good luck.

Answer 4

"Invincible" is definitely more powerful, but I wouldn't necessarily use them side by side because that would be redundant. Find another characteristic of whatever you are describing and put it next to "invincible." Or try modifying "invincible" with an adverb like "incredibly." Hence, you would have, "incredibly invincible."

Answer 5

Unstoppable sounds as though you can still be hurt, but you'll keep on coming. Invincible sounds both unstoppable and, well, impervious to damage. So, invincible holds a deeper impact for me.

Answer 6

Invincible!!

Answer 7

Invincible sounds better

Answer 8

Given what you're trying to achieve, lead with unstoppable and finish with invincible. You can intensify the impact of those adjectives with some really image-inspiring adverbs.

Answer 9

Invincible has more impact. Try using a thesaurius, Rogets is good you get lots of different combinations makes composing much easier. Crosswords are good practice too.

Answer 10

Invincible like in the famous Peruvian quote

"Vosotros somos invincibles!"
