@@_Void_Archive_ I mean, what's your counter to them teleporting a nuke 3 km over your population centers? As Cecil has demonstrated while talking to omni man here, teleportation is goddamn broken.
@@_Void_Archive_ Stealth is a complex topic. The US generally tunes their stealth design to minimise visibility to radar with shorter wavelengths (wavelengths around a few centimeters)- that's the radar used aboard fighter aircraft, and for target tracking and missile guidance on SAM systems. Longer wavelength radars used for early warning can see stealth aircraft (though not as easily as non-stealth), which leads to much boasting about stealth being "useless" from a certain country whose name starts with R. However seeing and doing something about what you see are different things. You can see a B-2 with your early warning radar, but good luck locking on to it with something that can actually hurt it. Why not use long wavelengths for targeting too, you may ask? Well the reason is basically physics. Longer wavelengths require bigger antennas, which is fine for a stationary early warning radar, but a big problem for an aircraft or missile; they just don't have room to fit an antenna large enough to provide the required accuracy to hit a target unless the wavelength is kept short.
Its funny he actual contridcted himself. as it was revealed earlier that it was only like 5 million a teleport. Which to be fair is kinda pocket change. the US milltary budget is like 916 billion dollars. So in theory he could teleport 183,000 times.
The teleporter is more like the ISS. Costs a trillion upfront while the maintenance cost is only a few billion. The more you use it, the more value you get

What I still don’t understand is WHY Cecil didn’t just teleport half of Nolan somewhere else. Before anyone says “but it doesn’t work like that”, Cecil’s neck tie was cut in half mid-teleport. If Nolan was caught half-way through a teleportation field, he wouldn’t pose any more troubles to Earth. Sure, I mean, in THIS universe Nolan eventually turns out good, but why didn’t they do that in other universes or with other Viltrumites stronger than Mark? You have the bestest weapon at your disposal, you are using it all day for almost mundane personal transportation and yet you decide to waste a space laser on mr unbeatable? Really?
In the scene with Nolan trying to kill Cecil, you forgot to add 7 billion twice every time. Cecil didn't just teleport elsewhere nearby, he went back to his base and then back to Nolan, it's why when he teleports the last time in that fight and Nolan grabs his tie, he's back in his HQ
i really like the small detail that the farther they get along, the more accurate it got, once a "relative area" to " he knows that hes facing and at a safe distance"
I honestly believe Cecil doesn’t actually tell the truth to anyone who asks about the cost of teleporting. He just comes up with some random figure every time, because if he can give SOME answer, they’ll get off his back.
Cecil’s real power is convincing the entirety of whatever government agency he works for that its work spending $7B just so he doesn’t have to inconvenience himself by walking.
This is *just* few week worth of teleportations of *just* one person. Just imagine how much money actualy 'wasted' to fund teleports all the years since it got invented.
It probably costs this much a year, since that's how military and government budgets are calculated. Or for building and sustaining a single teleporter, since as we know, they can get worn out and break down, like when they teleported the kaiju to fight Nolan.
the true reason it costs that much is because every time he teleports, he dies and gets replaced with a replica of him, which is just formed out of thin air and moved across space, but the organization from a different universe clones him, extracts his memories from a particular time in a specific universe, injects them into the clone, and sends him through spacetime to his current timeline.
the pricing of the fight with nolan is off. The interval between teleports is long enough that he clearly teleports back to central and then teleports from central to a different area on the battlefield. so it's basically double on that part.
Im pretty sure i read somewhere that in order to teleport something or someone, its required to break it/them apart on a molecular level, then teleport the broken down molecules and rebuild them at the destination. So technucally every time you teleport, you die and a clone of you with the exact same molecular structure takes over. Tldr: teleporting porobably costs your life as well as the $.
Also have to assume that bigger teleports require more data storage, calculations, and power. That last one was probably a few hundred times more expensive
Teleportation would also theoretically require more power the larger and denser the object so the kaiju would have required substantially more power and cost to move.

Cecils should 100% be a unit of measurement
@@pokefire953 the hail mary is as tall as twenty Cecils and as massive as a hundred Cecills
mind you this is the amount of money we've SEEN him spend teleporting. Imagine the amount that we haven't seen
Damn inflation huh. It was only 500million in the comics.
What I still don’t understand is WHY Cecil didn’t just teleport half of Nolan somewhere else. Before anyone says “but it doesn’t work like that”, Cecil’s neck tie was cut in half mid-teleport. If Nolan was caught half-way through a teleportation field, he wouldn’t pose any more troubles to Earth. Sure, I mean, in THIS universe Nolan eventually turns out good, but why didn’t they do that in other universes or with other Viltrumites stronger than Mark? You have the bestest weapon at your disposal, you are using it all day for almost mundane personal transportation and yet you decide to waste a space laser on mr unbeatable? Really?
He could teleport nolan near the sun
@@shinygoldenpotion1587 As a warning shot maybe.
In the scene with Nolan trying to kill Cecil, you forgot to add 7 billion twice every time. Cecil didn't just teleport elsewhere nearby, he went back to his base and then back to Nolan, it's why when he teleports the last time in that fight and Nolan grabs his tie, he's back in his HQ
i really like the small detail that the farther they get along, the more accurate it got, once a "relative area" to " he knows that hes facing and at a safe distance"
I honestly believe Cecil doesn’t actually tell the truth to anyone who asks about the cost of teleporting. He just comes up with some random figure every time, because if he can give SOME answer, they’ll get off his back.
I think he was saying it's a TOTAL of more than 7 billion, not *each time*
I admire your attention to detail. Very Commendable!
The department of goverment efficiency would like to have a word with you ...
1:29 aww he wanted to give cecil a big hug!
Honestly I'd much rather this be where our taxes are going versus where I think it is going 😅
ah there is my money XD
I would move out of USA if I were you, with all the extraterrestrial and supernatural crap going on there.
@@MrQuest0 but I am an necromancer so i am Home
@@X-CrossGamingthere are a lot of great incentives for weird alien and supernatural crap here. Did you know zombie armies are a tax write off?
@@Dragonlover553 yeah thats why i pay Most of the teleports
Fun fact, this is enough money to run the US military for a WHOPPING forty nine days! Almost two months!
Cecil’s real power is convincing the entirety of whatever government agency he works for that its work spending $7B just so he doesn’t have to inconvenience himself by walking.
Keep in mind, these are the _onscreen_ ones.
I'm pretty sure that the cost of the teleporter itself is more than $7 billion, but each teleport costs $5 million.
still less than what we give to isreal
This is *just* few week worth of teleportations of *just* one person. Just imagine how much money actualy 'wasted' to fund teleports all the years since it got invented.
Frankly most of those were worth it considering the stakes
And he still only spend like 20% of the total american military budget 💀
Glad someone did the math. 107B is insane.
Pretty sure every time he relocated vs Nolan was 2 teleports, btw.
The teleporting ended up buying more time against Nolan than the $trillion+ space laser.
I used to think teleporting was Cecil's natural power. Basically Nick Fury + Nightcrawler.
That back and forth between him and Nolan was worth every penny.
Wait ceil teleport is faster then Omni man speed?
It probably costs this much a year, since that's how military and government budgets are calculated. Or for building and sustaining a single teleporter, since as we know, they can get worn out and break down, like when they teleported the kaiju to fight Nolan.
tbf that's probably the cost of the teleporter program and upkeep, not per-use.
“How much does it cost EVERY TIME you teleport?”
Are you deaf or something? Did you not hear mark's question?
years of tax paying just for this old guy to teleport a few meters away from his location.
i do love democracy.
I think that was the total cost, and each individual teleport costs 5 million in the comics.
edit: 5 million dollars not 6
This is where our taxpayer money is going folks
Pretty epic ngl
its been confirmed already in the comics its about a million per use of the teleporter
Also remember that these are just teleportations we see on screen and just imagine how much more he uses it when we aren’t watching?
"You don't actually think they spend $20,000 dollars on a hammer? $30,000 dollars on a toilet seat do you?" - Julius Levinson
The way military programs work it's more likely a 100+Bn R&D project and a few $M per shot amortized over a certain budget per year.
That amount "might" buy you 2 college text books.
@1:15 this whole fight was a tax write off im more then willing to bet.
since nolan is a enemy of the state at this point.
@3:00 that 100% just made him so MUCH madder then before.
the true reason it costs that much is because every time he teleports, he dies and gets replaced with a replica of him, which is just formed out of thin air and moved across space, but the organization from a different universe clones him, extracts his memories from a particular time in a specific universe, injects them into the clone, and sends him through spacetime to his current timeline.
the pricing of the fight with nolan is off. The interval between teleports is long enough that he clearly teleports back to central and then teleports from central to a different area on the battlefield. so it's basically double on that part.
still only about 10% of the budget
Im pretty sure i read somewhere that in order to teleport something or someone, its required to break it/them apart on a molecular level, then teleport the broken down molecules and rebuild them at the destination. So technucally every time you teleport, you die and a clone of you with the exact same molecular structure takes over. Tldr: teleporting porobably costs your life as well as the $.
is this the old man in totally spies? lmao
My dumb ahh thought that was just his super power💀
It’s become the equivalent of driving to the mailbox.
Also have to assume that bigger teleports require more data storage, calculations, and power. That last one was probably a few hundred times more expensive
Only over $118B. No biggie.
Teleportation would also theoretically require more power the larger and denser the object so the kaiju would have required substantially more power and cost to move.
It is the GDP data for a year. I think the cost of operating the teleport system is also on a yearly bases.
Love this Idea, but may-haps it was a one time payment? Not a subscription model?
The fact this is a lowball because we don’t know how much it truly costs
Fun fact: that would mean he spent around 0.41% of the US GDP.
That’s just teleportations we can see
I love you bro
But what if, it´s 7B per round trip?
insane thing is that the final number isnt exact, he said it was more than that
This video doesn't account for the fact that he most likely gets teleported back after each scene, you can double that amount.
