Immersion is pretty important for a movie to be enjoyed. Breaking the laws of physics to push a plot is the result of lazy writing. Both factors will ruin a movie for people who have the knowledge.
everyone in this comment section is like "it's fiction why is he ruining it" idk how to tell you this but you can have fun thinking about the real world implications of fiction without "ruining it". he says like 5 times realism doesn't matter in movies.
Even internal inconsistencies (where something doesn't make sense in the fictional world either) don't have to ruin movies. We can say that part of a scene is objectively bad for breaking consistency, but is still enjoyable and the film can still be better with that scene than without it. That being said, good storytelling which is also internally consistent is better than either one individually.
I actually disagree. I think realism is important to a degree. It has to make sense still. So there can be new additions to the laws of physics and I can suspend my disbelief enough to see okay hulk has super strength so he can throw tanks. At the same time it still has to be consistent, make sense, not add random new abilities to serve as plot devices, and not bend reality to suit the plot even when characters don't possess certain abilities.
😂 exactly. Even when you see inconsistencies (and boy there are a lot in these films), you just have to remember it's fiction lol and just enjoy it for what it is they're trying to achieve.

Nobody likes you breaking down a movie while watching it or even right after it.
"Oh no, he's ruining it" Buddy just scientifically explained why strong heroes should exclusively throw uppercuts. That is the opposite of ruining superheroes
He was also incorrect. If you're strong enough to throw a faster punch, you're strong enough to counter the forces produced. When I punch something, it moves but I don't because I resist the forces applied on me. Someone stronger could withstand that stronger force aswell.
@@antech9986 I'm guessing you probably have to worry about not breaking your own bones before shoe-to-ground friction becomes a problem. Superstrength requires super durability, but luckily Luke Cage and Jessica Jones both have that, and while they're super strong, they don't seem like they hit hard enough to send themselves flying backwards if they just ground the punch into the ground through their legs. Film makers could draw attention to that by showing the ground breaking beneath their feet every time they punch, and I think I've actually seen that in tv shows or films occasionally, although I can't remember where. Obviously, someone like Superman should send himself flying backwards every time he throws a punch, but we can probably just hypothesize that whatever directional force he exerts when he flies is probably also being exerted to ground the punch whenever he throws one. Would be interesting if someone ran with that, because that means that whenever Superman punches a villain with the front of his fist, he must logically also be punching whatever is behind his fist just as hard. So standing behind Superman while he's fighting is probably a very, very bad idea. If he's protecting you, you should always stand to the side.
@@chrisallen5854 The only reason u dont move back when u punch is because u have friction in between ur feet/shoes and the ground. Not because u can counter forces naturally. So when someone throws a punch that has enough force to send someone flying back, the friction between them and the ground should be high enough to counteract that force and more often then not, we dont have such high enough roughness to counteract that force. Atleast not in that scene.
@@DissectingThoughts That is a good point about grounding the punches but (assuming they are strong durability) still should have enough roughness between their shoes and the ground for them to not move back. If there is not enough roughness like the case shown with polished floor, they might not fly backward but they will definitely slide backwards. If they are really heavy compared to regular humans, they amount of distance they slide back will be reduced but they will still slide backwards a little unless they have enough roughness

The other day I saw an avengers endgame deleted storyboard where Black Panther and Hulk punch each other's fists so he can build up and store the kinetic energy and then BP jumps through the mouth of a Leviathan and smashes through it. That would've been a tag team move so awesome to see!!! Too bad it got cut...
It makes sense that it didn't go through since realistically, BP would just get thrashed miles away if Hulk punched him with a force strong enough to knock a leviathan. Sounds cool tho.
Would've loved to seen more power combos like these in the last battle tbh. Especially with characters that never really interacted with each other like cap and dr strange or groot and hulk

Kinda surprised they didn’t mention the Captain America’s shield and specifically the bit of Civil War where Spider-Man says: “That thing doesn’t obey the laws of physics at all!”
In the comics one of superman's abilities is an invisible field that wraps around objects and holds the structural integrity so he can lift it without it breaking
Yep, it's referred to as 'tactile telekinesis' - telekinesis over any object Superman touches, introduced solely to explain how he could lift buildings (or other large objects) and not destroy them as he does in this clip.
lol, why? I doubt I own a specific comic reference but here’s a generic source FWIW: superman.fandom.com/wiki/Superman%27s_Powers_and_Abilities#cite_ref-3
I guess Obelix wouldn't actually need to do that as much, because he has a lot more mass than the average Roman. :P But yeah, for the small and light Asterix it's a great technique.
Being super fast would cause all sorts of issues lika that hahahaha, you would need a super brain too to be able to process your surroundings at that speed
@@rfjfjjrndyajjrntjfjf would you need a super brain? I thought that relativity would apply where you would experience surroundings slower? Or am I confusing things?
"I think the building he's in can be found in all universities" His building is in every university? Goodness, just say that type of wall is found in many universities, but not the whole building 🙄 🤣
This show is amazing. Such an easy, accessible way to learn interesting facts! And the experts they bring in are always very smart people with even better attitutude.
4:37 and this is why I theorize that many of Superman's abilities are psionic in nature. If he has tactile telekinesis, like his partial clone, Connor, then this feat wouldn't be a problem. It makes sense that when his abilities first developed, he just assumed that he had super strength and flight, when he's really moving objects or himself with his mind.
10:00 THANK YOU!! Finally an expert that lays out all the things that need to be done, but *still fully* recognizes that the character they're talking about is not bound by their real life logic.
I'm completely with you on Justice League film as portrayed... but in the comics the Kryptonian ability to lift super-heavy objects is excused by tactile telekinesis granting integrity and strength to whatever they're touching... this also allows them to rescue people at impossible speeds without killing them through the impact or travel.
4 роки тому+13
I came to say that. That's why Superman can carry a plane by the wing and not make a mess.
@ And also the most arrogant one, apparently. They were either making a joke, or a barely insulting minor comment. No need for the self-important hostility.
I feel like the superhero landing only works with certain characters. Like Ironman who can slow down before impact and probably has high tech shock absorbers in the armor.
Superman lifting objects without breaking them gets explained when the superboy clone shows up, superman isn't really that strong, he's projecting a 'tactile telekinetic field' that does the actual heavy lifting. When he lifts an object the field extends to support it as long as he's touching it. So in essence he is increasing the size of his hands.
@@thenecessaryevil2634 actually that only applies to the clone. New 52 superboy isn't even really a Kryptonian, he's a full human who was genetically engineered and grown to replicate superman's powers as well a appear similar to him through different mechanics. Superman is infact that strong but superboy isn't, superboy is the only one using tactile telekinesis.
Not for Superman actually but for himself yes, Superman has mild telekinesis that allows him to carry planes and buildings without snapping them in half.
Where was this man when I was in HS??!?! I love how he explains everything. He could have saved me so many tears !

The part where Hugie gets a little splash could be explained by "airwash" gnerated by Atrain behind him, you could see some of this on Hugie's face, hair and the direction of the dropplets that can be caried by turbulent air. Great video.
After this, I’d like to see a super realistic physics based superhero movie. That would be incredibly interesting. Every hero would just uppercut, or reinvent some new superpower martial arts.🤔🤔
I'm totally into that idea, as well. Give them superpowers, but they have to learn to use them differently based on physics. Like, a guy with superspeed with run low on blood-sugar fast, and have to eat like 20 thousand calories a day, or something.
4:40 in the comics they explain this by saying that he has a bioelectric force field around his body at all time that he can extent to outer objects giving him the ability to grab big objects without them crumbling to oieces
Yes Indeed, Gravity is Universal and pulls down on every part of a flying body equally so thrusters higher up does not help because the lower body is not pulled down stronger to stabilize the flight, that is a mistake right there.
Honestly, when Tony is testing his thrusters, he should be doing multiple flips since his hand thrusters would push him backwards while his feet thrusters would act as the center of the circle on which he would rotate.
Wrong, he said, “We go to the movies NOT for the correct physics, we go because they don’t have the correct physics.” What you said is the opposite on the first part lol.
Actually, I'm disappointed that he didn't analyze some of Batman's weirder physics. The the very least he could've tried to explain the "go after Rachel after Joker drops her" scene in "The Dark Knight." The other thing. In "The Official Guide to the Science of Superman" it's suggested that Superman doesn't actually have X-Ray vision, but instead is able to focus his eyes on different spectrums of light that can see through skin and muscle. X-rays aren't the only ones that can do that.
At 7:21 you can see that they had the shell of the ferry deform slightly due to the load imposed by Iron Man's little rocket thingies. Very good illustration of the concept discussed in the superman segment, where even a highly distributed load is going to evoke some kind of structural response on the thing, once you get into the levels of loading necessary to lift a ship or building (and it would take a lot less force to push it over than lift it!)
The most common one is Superman flying at super high speed catching a someone where in real life colliding with someone at high speed would be like hitting them with a car
I like the Superman breakdown. Explained the science but didn’t just say the classic, no normal human can do it. Really sums up this video. Hope they bring this guy back.
@@baronvonhoughton do you always deploy irrelevant arguments in a feeble attempt to move the goalposts so you can tell yourself you're not losing the debate?
5:15 - could he lift the building if he held it by one of it's corners with the longer side of the building pointing upwards? Bc the corners would be structurally stronger and contact area would be larger relative to the horizontal size of the building
I love that he understands the physics and can explain it and real world circumstances well but nerdy enough to be able to rationalize it in terms of super hero movies to justify it.
This was the perfect amount of science. He understands that the movies are not about beeing believable.
He don't know. He can't know. He says "It depends on ... and it means you have to do that ...". So he basically says it's not impossible, if the conditions are met.

Kinda surprised they didn’t mention the Captain America’s shield and specifically the bit of Civil War where Spider-Man says: “That thing doesn’t obey the laws of physics at all!”
Spiderman is a nerd too. ofc he would say something like that xD
@@theredwarrior1942 Spider-man beats an opponent by using geometry for fecks sake... that kid's an outright SIGMA NERD and I love him
Cap is doing insane mathematics to calculate the angles and speed needed to throw the shield hit his targets and return it. Dude's awesome.
"if I was gonna do it"
Anyone else think this guy is building an iron man suit?
I'd pay to see that😂😂😂
"...you can't just go around punching like a normal person..."
Who eve
I r
Wise words haha
In the comics one of superman's abilities is an invisible field that wraps around objects and holds the structural integrity so he can lift it without it breaking
Exactly. It's some form of physical telekinesis more than it is strength.
Yep, it's referred to as 'tactile telekinesis' - telekinesis over any object Superman touches, introduced solely to explain how he could lift buildings (or other large objects) and not destroy them as he does in this clip.
@@Telorchid or how people he saves while flying don't just disintegrate in his arms
@@Telorchid do you have a specific comic scan or panel scan about this ability of his?
lol, why? I doubt I own a specific comic reference but here’s a generic source FWIW:
superman.fandom.com/wiki/Superman%27s_Powers_and_Abilities#cite_ref-3
I wish I had a Professor like this in class. Has the knowledge to explain, has the knowledge to enjoy films for what they are.
Me: falls asleep in physics class
Also me: mmmMMMHh iNtEResting
Hey, Wired. This guy is awesome. And clearly is a movie/comic fan and understands things won't always be shown properly. Get him back on here!
Wait, so Asterix and Obelix punch in a correct scientific manner? They're always upper-cutting Romans into the sky. That's great!
I guess Obelix wouldn't actually need to do that as much, because he has a lot more mass than the average Roman. :P But yeah, for the small and light Asterix it's a great technique.
How does Dash not lose his entire face when he fell to the ground at like 200 mph
Being super fast would cause all sorts of issues lika that hahahaha, you would need a super brain too to be able to process your surroundings at that speed
And a super magic food that gives you infinite calories
ok e
@@rfjfjjrndyajjrntjfjf would you need a super brain? I thought that relativity would apply where you would experience surroundings slower? Or am I confusing things?
@@matthewhamilton2913 It just applies to time, not your surroundings
I think the building he's in can be found in all universities
Can't be found in mine
In all universities, and prisons
"I think the building he's in can be found in all universities"
His building is in every university?
Goodness, just say that type of wall is found in many universities, but not the whole building 🙄 🤣
LOVE this guy! Knows what hes talking about while still letting a movie be a movie and getting on board with the logic of this fantasy tech!
Imagine the students seeing this video and going "Heyy, that's my teacher."
*Insert Leonardo pointing meme*
I’m one of em 😂
@@Sebrumatic aye thats cool
@@Sebrumatic is he cool?
This show is amazing. Such an easy, accessible way to learn interesting facts!
And the experts they bring in are always very smart people with even better attitutude.
Even in that short clip... The Cap holding Mjolnir is so epic.
Such a perfect scene.
I really enjoyed listening to him explain physics concepts- great teacher and very entertaining :)
"You *can* have an elecrical shock make people's muscles contract."

That wall, brings me back to college days. Or he's in jail.
Ha. True. Because of the pandemic, we recorded remotely. I actually used a classroom at the university.
@@rhettallain the Legend!
No, you remembered your prison days.
He's is prison using a cellphone brought in by a crooked CO.
what if I told you...those walls are not nearly solid. They have very thin sides with a fluffy insulator inside.
This was nice to learn about physics in the Superhero world
at least the guy know what he's talking about and he's not bashing the whole thing
4:37 and this is why I theorize that many of Superman's abilities are psionic in nature. If he has tactile telekinesis, like his partial clone, Connor, then this feat wouldn't be a problem. It makes sense that when his abilities first developed, he just assumed that he had super strength and flight, when he's really moving objects or himself with his mind.
I've heard this idea before.
10:00 THANK YOU!! Finally an expert that lays out all the things that need to be done, but *still fully* recognizes that the character they're talking about is not bound by their real life logic.
I'm completely with you on Justice League film as portrayed... but in the comics the Kryptonian ability to lift super-heavy objects is excused by tactile telekinesis granting integrity and strength to whatever they're touching... this also allows them to rescue people at impossible speeds without killing them through the impact or travel.
I came to say that.
That's why Superman can carry a plane by the wing and not make a mess.
You just outnerded a physicist. Are you proud of yourself?
@@GiggityxGamer, as being the most selled sci-fi brazilian writer, yes, I am.
And you, are you proud of yourself for being a failure even as a troll?
@ And also the most arrogant one, apparently. They were either making a joke, or a barely insulting minor comment. No need for the self-important hostility.
@ bruh. I think he tried to slyly give you a compliment. Relax.
This guy sounds like he could be a brother of George Lucas :D
funny i thought the robotics expert LOOKED like george lucas
That wall, brings me back to college days. Or he's in jail.
If this dude taught me physics, I woulda passed the class lol
If only we watched superhero movies to learn physics haha
I feel like the superhero landing only works with certain characters. Like Ironman who can slow down before impact and probably has high tech shock absorbers in the armor.
Superman lifting objects without breaking them gets explained when the superboy clone shows up, superman isn't really that strong, he's projecting a 'tactile telekinetic field' that does the actual heavy lifting. When he lifts an object the field extends to support it as long as he's touching it. So in essence he is increasing the size of his hands.
Lol. "Superman really isn't that strong." KAY
@@Ahcoolman That's the canon explanation go look it up on the superman wiki, its Superboy's only power a lot of the time.
@@thenecessaryevil2634 but he is also that strong, superman has a lot of redundant powers, like a force field on top of super durability
@@thenecessaryevil2634 actually that only applies to the clone. New 52 superboy isn't even really a Kryptonian, he's a full human who was genetically engineered and grown to replicate superman's powers as well a appear similar to him through different mechanics. Superman is infact that strong but superboy isn't, superboy is the only one using tactile telekinesis.
Would love a part two talking about all the physics in Deadpool with the tiny realm and also the time travel in the avengers movies!
This guy: I love him.
So Groot's wood can be soft or hard depending on the situation, huh?

This man just inspired me to love physics, what a legend
He explains things in such an easy, understandable way, really making physics make sense for one of the first times for me lol
He's the freaking science guy in the macgyver series WAHHHHH I love him
This is true. I do the science stuff for MacGyver. Glad you like it.
5:00 So Homelander was right about the plane.
lol
Not for Superman actually but for himself yes, Superman has mild telekinesis that allows him to carry planes and buildings without snapping them in half.
@@ojogbaneamedu2501 no he doesn’t. No where in the comics is that a thing. Fans just made it up.
@loke alfabet it’s been stated that he has no real or notable psychic or psionic abilities. Come on dude this theory is decades old bro.
@loke alfabet all speculation no confirmation.
Where was this man when I was in HS??!?! I love how he explains everything. He could have saved me so many tears !
The part where Hugie gets a little splash could be explained by "airwash" gnerated by Atrain behind him, you could see some of this on Hugie's face, hair and the direction of the dropplets that can be caried by turbulent air. Great video.
when Shazam catches that falling bus at the last second by its windshield...
After this, I’d like to see a super realistic physics based superhero movie. That would be incredibly interesting. Every hero would just uppercut, or reinvent some new superpower martial arts.🤔🤔
I'm totally into that idea, as well. Give them superpowers, but they have to learn to use them differently based on physics. Like, a guy with superspeed with run low on blood-sugar fast, and have to eat like 20 thousand calories a day, or something.
I'd pay to see a movie like that! Sounds like a great time!
Eve Diby sounds like you’re taking away 90% of what makes superhero movies fun lol
@@jessejive117 Not all superhero movies should follow physics strictly, but I would love to see one outlier try it.
His most accurate physics movie when I took his class was Hancock.
Ah yes, Groots younger brother who's parents never let him forget he was not as successful as his brother, "I am clearly not Groot"
4:40 in the comics they explain this by saying that he has a bioelectric force field around his body at all time that he can extent to outer objects giving him the ability to grab big objects without them crumbling to oieces
15:53 isn't that part of the pendulum rocket fallacy? ie that the thrust isn't relative to the ground so it won't stabilize him?
Yes Indeed, Gravity is Universal and pulls down on every part of a flying body equally so thrusters higher up does not help because the lower body is not pulled down stronger to stabilize the flight, that is a mistake right there.
Thank you, I was looking for this comment and was worried that no one else noticed.
18:56 What I've been looking for My whole life
Do one for Fast and Furious 7, 8 and 9
He has to face coworkers at job
Not enough time.
That would take an eternity
Dash's giggle when he realizes he's actually running on water...
One of the singularly best moments in any movie!
At last, the physics expert and superhero movies. Also, I didn't expect The Boys scene to come up. Good video 👍🏻
Who else feels very good that they effortlessly understand all what this guy is explaining without having to look-up anything.
Me: this video is too lengthy to watch I'll skip to iron scene
after watching whole video,
Also me: where can i get another part ?
He is so great at explaining. I understand everything.
Honestly, when Tony is testing his thrusters, he should be doing multiple flips since his hand thrusters would push him backwards while his feet thrusters would act as the center of the circle on which he would rotate.
15:09 child in me: don't you dare ruin this one for me.
😂
His use of easy terms and analogies is what makes science great.
This is that professor everyone loves
The boys airplane scene makes more sense now that he explained the superman building scene
"We go to the movies because they have correct physics, we go because they DON'T have correct physics "
Well said
Incorrect Physics = Super. Correct Physics = Mundane.
Wrong, he said, “We go to the movies NOT for the correct physics, we go because they don’t have the correct physics.”
What you said is the opposite on the first part lol.
@@Uouttooo The Expanse uses mostly correct physics in very interesting ways. You should check it out.
@@sgbench I was very impressed. Not only of the physics, but of the biology and sociology expressed in that series.
Actually, I'm disappointed that he didn't analyze some of Batman's weirder physics. The the very least he could've tried to explain the "go after Rachel after Joker drops her" scene in "The Dark Knight."
The other thing. In "The Official Guide to the Science of Superman" it's suggested that Superman doesn't actually have X-Ray vision, but instead is able to focus his eyes on different spectrums of light that can see through skin and muscle. X-rays aren't the only ones that can do that.
Love this dude, concise explanations and not much judgement
At 7:21 you can see that they had the shell of the ferry deform slightly due to the load imposed by Iron Man's little rocket thingies. Very good illustration of the concept discussed in the superman segment, where even a highly distributed load is going to evoke some kind of structural response on the thing, once you get into the levels of loading necessary to lift a ship or building (and it would take a lot less force to push it over than lift it!)
Awesome explanation 👍
This kind of conversation would have taken place every time after Sheldon Cooper and his friends watched a superhero movie.
The most common one is Superman flying at super high speed catching a someone where in real life colliding with someone at high speed would be like hitting them with a car
this was dope cuz he seems to generally be interested in superheroes as well as understanding the science behind it
I like the Superman breakdown. Explained the science but didn’t just say the classic, no normal human can do it. Really sums up this video. Hope they bring this guy back.
What's weirdest about the A-train scene is he's running into stationary objects.
What, you've _never_ walked into a stationary object, like a wall or lamppost, at _normal_ speed, just because you weren't paying attention?
@@JakkFrost1 That's right. I have eyes and coordination.
@@baronvonhoughton neither of which come into play when one is, as I said, not paying attention.
@@JakkFrost1 Do you crash your car into stationary objects while driving too?
@@baronvonhoughton do you always deploy irrelevant arguments in a feeble attempt to move the goalposts so you can tell yourself you're not losing the debate?
rly appreciate u pointing out that nonsense in justice league
i’m watching after Chadwicks passing and i about cried when i heard his voice
5:15 - could he lift the building if he held it by one of it's corners with the longer side of the building pointing upwards? Bc the corners would be structurally stronger and contact area would be larger relative to the horizontal size of the building
I love that he understands the physics and can explain it and real world circumstances well but nerdy enough to be able to rationalize it in terms of super hero movies to justify it.
The editor deserves a raise 💸💸
I found some cuts to be annoying
You should have included that scene in The Boys where Homelander argues that he cannot lift a plane in mid-air because he will just punch through it.
He mentions that and he already explained that concept with Superman carrying a building.
