    "Batman probably didn't get it on his first try either, so..." was oddly motivational.

      In most depictions be they movie or comic he really *doesn't* get it on his first try either, it takes him a lot of training, which I've always found pretty motivational

      not thinking about how he would get down was not really smart in the first place. rewatching this show, I see very often that Jamie's ideas or builds are not the best compared to Adam. Although in this episode Adams version didnt work that well, but Jamies version did not even deal with shooting the cable up there.

    in the scar ring it would have made a huge difference if there were bloodflow in the thing they hit not just a cold carcass. i think the 'scars' are just hematomas

    You need to cut flesh for the skin to develop scar tissue. Bruising doesn't leave scars.

    • @marcunbut1058
      @marcunbut1058 27 днів тому

      It can happen but its of course not as detailled/precise than cuts, neither as permanent too. The object need to have "sharp angles" (i mean the edges should not be rounded), be solid enought to not change shape or absorb the impact (like a rubber hand does for example) and where/how it hit affect the bruising shape too. I know because it happened to me. If the object stay pressed hard enought for long enought in more fleshy parts: you get an imprint who can stay visible around 30sec to a minute. Its really rare though

    Now, 20 years after the fact, it's incredible that this series was ever aired. I mean, the guys try to be careful, of course, but they aimed a heavy steel hook launched by a high-powered aircannon at a wall which is apparently thin enough to get perforated easily. And Jaimy is bungling with a knife and a heavy contraption on his arm 50 feet of the ground, cutting his own face up.
    Like, try making this series nowadays. No way that this would be allowed.

    I've never heard anyone say Phantom's ring leaves a mark because he hits so hard.
    Also, it's not a scar. It's a regular trope in the comics that bad guys are trying to wash it off. Even dumb bad guy wouldn't r to wash off a scar.

    • @Cahirable
      @Cahirable 29 днів тому +1

      That's right. The mark is caused by "indelible ink", so the closest thing to their method would be that the ink enters through the cuts in the skin and creates a tattoo. The comics are pretty clear that the ink is just pressed to the skin and leaves an indelible mark behind.

  • @DusterDiscussions
    @DusterDiscussions 4 місяці тому +8

    not only would blood flow thru skin so the blood vessels can break in the shape of the ring have changed the outcome but like they didnt even test a ring that itself was the shape of the mark they wanted it was flat with a indent in it in the shape they wanted. if U punch someone with a ring thats shaped and not flat wouldnt that make the blood vessels break in that specific pattern?

      @@UnitSe7en Well, let's not overstate the case. Granted, there's often flaws in their methodology, but they're not trained scientists, they're technically-capable people who are performing scientific testing to the best of their ability. The point of the show isn't to perform pure scientific research, obviously - it is to instead spark the audience's sense of curiosity and wonder, and I have little doubt that there are quite a number of people who entered the scientific community specifically because these guys inspired them to do so. There's absolutely nothing despicable about that.

What this show did to experimental science in the minds of young people everywhere was almost criminal. The problem I have with the show is what it was billed as: A show about experimental science. But it just isn't. It's 100% _entertainment_ and that lack of distinction has coloured everyone. Remember that season 1 was about testing out Darwin Award winner methods of self-destruction. It was entertainment, and then it was popular and the network wanted to stretch it out.

    Batman used titanium in his gear.

    • @MrMarinus18
      @MrMarinus18 7 місяців тому +1

      Wonder why though cause in strength to weight ratio titanium is about the same as aluminium. The advantages of titanium are it's resistance to metal fatigue and it's ability to retain it's strength when subjected to heating. Neither of which are really relevant. Armor doesn't flex that much and it also isn't subjected to extreme heat for prolonged periods.
      The Blackbird was made of titanium because it was the only metal that could retain it's structural strength at the high temperatures the plane experiences. But that's talking about prolonged periods of time. If you aim a flamethrower at aluminium armor it will hold up for 10 seconds just fine which is more than enough. Though when it comes to body armor steel is much harder than either and is much stronger for a given volume, ceramic tiles can absorb far more energy and kevlar is much lighter.
