Jokes aside, i'm fairly certain the US economy is massive buffed if the Defense budget can fund this. And, destroying cities aside, it seems people live rather well compared to the irl world. Still problem mind you, but less economic problems.
I'm pretty sure 7.36 Billion is the cost of whatever machine operates the teleporting (probably the yearly cost). Still means that it multiplies, but it's likely not every use. Either way it's funny to think about how expensive it is.
You forget that it could be prepaid, and teleportation cost could be an average of what it costs per teleport per refresh renewal or repair of the teleportation unit/system
You are aware that money doesn't just vanish when spent right? They aren't feeding it into the teleporter machine. It cycles back into the economy, so in this case the cost is going to either the electrical company powering their facilities, or the company providing the materials required to operate the teleporter, or the maintenance crews the keep the machine in working order. Either way, the economy would boom as a result, not falter. The only suffering caused by that money being spent is to the ones spending it, so Cecil's organization. I imagine if they use it in the ways portrayed, they can afford it.
@@AWSOMzombie well, if it was crazy more than that he would probably use a different example. i did a 10 second google search and on wikipedia Lichtenstein is listed with a GDP of 7.365 billion USD and the next highest county is Montenegro with 8.010 billion. So its probably somewhere in between the two.
This added context has made that conversation with Debbie about money a billion times funnier because she's like "i dont wanna feel like I owe you money anymore" and "dont waste money on me spend it on the people Chicago" And then Cecil is like "....okay" then proceeds to spend $7.6 billion on instantly travelling the equivalent distance of a half an hour car ride.

@@DieuDeMort 1/6th of the US defense budget is still alot. The F-35 fleet, its procurement cost, development, and acquisition is projected to cost somewhere around double Cecil's. And again, it is projected, spread over the next few decades of its service life. Still got a lot of flak despite so. It wont even take long before you find some guy on Facebook complaining about how his money is going to such a "shit" plane. There are politicians out there who had campaigns based on this. All that money on one massive program, for a bunch of high tech modern stealth fighter jets, for the next few generations. And they're spending that much over a year to just teleport some guy around? The only logical explanation is that it's much cheaper in canon, the US is severely lacking in financial management, because Cecil is just him, or the lamest answer: it's fiction after all and it's cool.
The USA budget for 2024 was 6.752 Trillion dollars. This means that 2.07% of the entire yearly budget of the USA in this show is spent entirely on Cecils teleportation. Also keep in mind that this is only counting the number of times we SEE him teleport. If we account for all the times we don't see him this can easily reach into the 15% or even higher than 30%. JUST HOW VALUABLE IS THIS GUY TO THE GOVERNMENT?!!?

For those who don’t know, Cecil spent $117,760,000,000 in the first season on teleporting so add that to the second season amount $139,840,000,000, Cecil has spent 256.6 BILLION DOLLARS. Yo is Invincible’s universe going through a Great Depression right now? There ain’t no way the government isn’t laundering money right now💀
The comics say that each teleport costs $5 million dollars, so his Lichtenstein comment might just be an off-handed way of saying he has used the teleport function well over 1,000 times since he became the head of the agency. Considering the strategic value of superhumans and his relatively-upstanding morals/judgement elsewhere, it could be considered on par with a CEO abusing a corporate jet.
@@Hevensdragon Mark asked cost per teleport, Cecil was vague if the price he listed was "for the machine which teleports me" or "each teleportation", it's supposed to screw with the audience anyway, but like 7 billion for annual maintenance on the machine + 5 million per teleport (from comics) seems the most reasonable project wise.
I mean he is just lazy at this point. Just take an helicopter or drive up there. This is tax payer money use it to fix the damage after every fight not teleport.
I wonder if that money i just directly converted to power, or if they need some exotically rare ingredients like metallic hydrogen from Jupiter's core 😆
5:53 the funny thing about this one is that Mark has an earpiece in and has been listening to Cecil the whole time. There was genuinely no reason for him to teleport to say this to him lmao
7:01 - Cecil: "Mark...look at me. When Nolan killed someone while he was here, whether it was the Guardians or those around when you fought him, he did it to prove a point. He didn't care about those people. And even after what you said happened on Thraxa, I'm sure he still has a ways to go. But from what you've said, it was one moment where you lost control. It's okay to beat yourself over what you did to Angstrom, I wouldn't want to see it happen again, and frankly...it makes you more human than your father. But please hear me when I say you did the right thing. Either you were going to kill him, or he was going to kill you and your family. Just...promise me you won't take too long to get over it."
I really like the duality of Cecil character, he is a guy that can be both slimey and upstanding character. It is like he is capable of these full range of dark and light. He can lie & manipulate or support & care depending on the situation. Kinda respect that.
@@lukelim5094 The only problem is it brings into question if it's all just manipulation. If he lies and manipulates people to get them to do things for him, then how do we know he's not just telling sweet, compassionate sounding lies when he knows that the person's at an emotional low, both to get them back into useful fighting shape faster (basically fixing a broken tool so it'll be working again) and to create an emotional attachment (they see him as being there for them when they're down)? That is, the problem with people being manipulative is you can't even be sure that even their seeming compassion isn't just another layer of manipulation OR if they're actually being genuine and DO have a heart deep inside that only comes out in those rare instances.
2:49 What is the point of a 15 foot long hallway that leads to nothing... other than being a spooky spot for a creepy man to teleport into so as to give his words gravitas?
Just remember that for half these guys, Cecil has the ability to contact them online. I will admit that quite a few examples he needed to be there in person (especially during aftermaths), but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s wasting 7 Billion dollars just because he wants to speak in person, and is in a position where he can get away with it.
Is anyone else feeling like the teleportation is secretly just Cecil’s superpower. And calls it technology and is a govement agent instead of a superhero himself to keep a low profile for those he holds close, like his family or something
@@Humansarebetter1 still doesn’t change the fact that he is doing the complete opposite of keeping a low profile. Would’ve kinda make sense if he claims teleporting costs hundreds of thousand or a few million
to be fair, this version of the USA probably spends a lot more on military and secret shit than even our IRL military and if you are the liaison of supeheros and the US government your time might actually just be THAT valuable.
-Sir, we managed to shave off 7.36 billion dollars off our military budget. -how did you do that? -we convinced cecil to talk to invincible with his phone.
It's possible that his answer of "more than Lichtenstein's GDI" refers to the total cost of all his previous teleports, if we take the comic line that individual teleports cost 5m. If so, then we can divide 7.36b by 5m to find out the minimum number of times he's teleported - since, y'know, he clarified that it was _more_ than 7.36b. That rounds out to at least 1472 teleports. He stopped keeping track afterwards, it seems. One helluva addicting travel method, indeed....
I really enjoy how you take into account when he WOULD teleport to stuff, like into Debbie’s house, not just when he’s SHOWN to teleport. Really good stuff, thanks man!
Not only is this low balling, due to Cecil saying more than the GEO of Lichtenstein, this is also only accounting for the times WE SEE him teleport. Crazy af
It's actually the more he uses it the less each TP costs. As the expense is mainly in RnD not operation. For it to cost 7b / activation. That means it's using approximately 4x the US daily power consumption. If so, we would see national blackouts after each use.
As someone who wears a lot of suits I'd give almost anything for his tie to stay the same length between shots. For all we know he's teleporting between cuts just to mess with it in the mirror.
I know this isn't the topic of the video but I love Cecil as a character. He takes the burden of "the ends justifoes the means" and that included being wary of Mark after his father's betrayal. But by the time the final scene happens where they're talking on the roof, it feels like he's saying that because he truly sees that Mark is nothing like what Nolan was. He realized that when he risked his life just to defend his peoples' pride. It wasn't just about defying the Viltrumites, it was about showing them that he won't stop until he's dead; it's a battle of will
I love the scene in the comics where he admits it's an addiction and he just can't help himself even though he knows he's horribly wasting truly insane sums of taxpayer money.
Not sure how you prepared this, but this seems like a great reason to watch the whole series. All you gotta do is write down the time stamps as you watch. Also, love the comments you made throughout the video; it makes it engaging to keep watching lol (short attention span moment).
I do tend to beleive that he ignored the 'every time' part and is expressing the cost in terms of monthly or yearly costs instead as it lines up better with the comics that way, and also because if it was *that* expensive it would start severely harming other programs and projects. Millions per tp is funny and explains how he can do some on a whim but keeps it ridiculous and very wasteful but *possible* , billons per tp actually starts to cause some problems and it's unlikely he'd even be *able* to do as many as we see. The question *was* 'every time' but it wouldn't be unusual for him to have not answered that part diectly, espetially given his answer is quite flippant
That has to be bs, there is no way he'd be allowed to use that for convenience the way he likes to do if it costs THAT much with every teleport. That would be restricted to emergencies only.
Something to keep in mind. This story is older than the show. He specified the number in the comics. And it's kind of assumed the reason he can use it more and more throughout the story is it becomes cheaper after they develop it more.
"The survivors in Chicago need that money more"
Cecil: "Understood, have a nice day."
*Teleports another +7.36 billion away.*

"WHA-"
dawg that’s like $1 from everyone in the world per use😭
Funny Thing is He is addicted to it.
He feels like a boss because of it 😂
I mean who wouldn't, sundently apear just seem very cool in general
I'm sorry, the thumbnail made me think this was an anime version of the "Steamed Hams" bit
It's possible that his answer of "more than Lichtenstein's GDI" refers to the total cost of all his previous teleports, if we take the comic line that individual teleports cost 5m.
If so, then we can divide 7.36b by 5m to find out the minimum number of times he's teleported - since, y'know, he clarified that it was _more_ than 7.36b.
That rounds out to at least 1472 teleports. He stopped keeping track afterwards, it seems. One helluva addicting travel method, indeed....
The gross economic output of Lichtenstein probably had a surge in searches after the teaser dropped.
I really enjoy how you take into account when he WOULD teleport to stuff, like into Debbie’s house, not just when he’s SHOWN to teleport.
Really good stuff, thanks man!
We all fully accept your assumed off-screen teleports because his on-screen teleports are SO frivolous that it checks out
he is avoiding paying his taxes he just condemned himself to hell.
Not only is this low balling, due to Cecil saying more than the GEO of Lichtenstein, this is also only accounting for the times WE SEE him teleport. Crazy af
To be fair; this would have been the GDP of Lichtenstein when that line was written *in the comics*
The fact that this is season 2 alone and in season 1 bro teleported like 5 times within 5 mins should say how much more money it costs in season one
basically every time Cecil is on screen it's 7 billion
You would need to be a Quadrillionaire...not a trillionaire.
I like that you perfectly cut it when he teleported at 4:00 Making me almost cough up my soda at that point
Cecil is the reason the US is in such economic ruin.
Oh no, that's definitely Biden's fault. The budget was already set for Cecil.
@@James_Bee No better place for political discussion than a youtube compilation video, huh?

Cecil is bitter about the 400 billion dollar nose bleed he gave omni man, yet does this
3:57 "AAH! MOTHER-"
It's actually the more he uses it the less each TP costs. As the expense is mainly in RnD not operation. For it to cost 7b / activation. That means it's using approximately 4x the US daily power consumption.
If so, we would see national blackouts after each use.
Cost is probably double considering a lot of the scenes start with him somewhere so we need to consider when he teleports before a scene starts
As someone who wears a lot of suits I'd give almost anything for his tie to stay the same length between shots. For all we know he's teleporting between cuts just to mess with it in the mirror.
Cecil does NOT have the time for that
1 He said more than that. 2 This is just on-screen teleports.
Can’t wait for season 3
“I need you to go to space again-“
“Wha-“
this is referring to how much on average it takes in a year to maintain the technology hes using to teleport
And the worst part is he says he is addicted to teleportation
he said it was more than 7.36 billion then, so its not exactly this.
I know this isn't the topic of the video but I love Cecil as a character. He takes the burden of "the ends justifoes the means" and that included being wary of Mark after his father's betrayal. But by the time the final scene happens where they're talking on the roof, it feels like he's saying that because he truly sees that Mark is nothing like what Nolan was.
He realized that when he risked his life just to defend his peoples' pride. It wasn't just about defying the Viltrumites, it was about showing them that he won't stop until he's dead; it's a battle of will
The President is gonna blow a fuse when he sees how much of the country’s military budget went to Cecil’s teleportation😂
I love how auto-complete already knew the assignment. There were definitely a lot of other people who wanted to see that figure as well
I love how it’s a pre made search. Other people wanna know
Cecil: 7.36 Billion dollars per teleport
TF2: Engineer, is Engihere!
I love the scene in the comics where he admits it's an addiction and he just can't help himself even though he knows he's horribly wasting truly insane sums of taxpayer money.
I can't blame him tbh. Teleporting is one of the greatest feats of human technology in his verse and he has free access to it
Best part is, he said it was “More than that”, at some point it just cannot be worth it
This comment is no longer relatable, continue scrolling
Same 😂
Same
ditto here
Wow
Lucky bastards
Not sure how you prepared this, but this seems like a great reason to watch the whole series. All you gotta do is write down the time stamps as you watch. Also, love the comments you made throughout the video; it makes it engaging to keep watching lol (short attention span moment).
I do tend to beleive that he ignored the 'every time' part and is expressing the cost in terms of monthly or yearly costs instead as it lines up better with the comics that way, and also because if it was *that* expensive it would start severely harming other programs and projects. Millions per tp is funny and explains how he can do some on a whim but keeps it ridiculous and very wasteful but *possible* , billons per tp actually starts to cause some problems and it's unlikely he'd even be *able* to do as many as we see.
The question *was* 'every time' but it wouldn't be unusual for him to have not answered that part diectly, espetially given his answer is quite flippant
7:16 the soundtrack here is real good. Real ominious making us unsure of marks future.
That has to be bs, there is no way he'd be allowed to use that for convenience the way he likes to do if it costs THAT much with every teleport.
That would be restricted to emergencies only.
Special Consideration for Their Most Important Division.
Given it’s the us government, there are far more useless things they waste tax payer money on
This is on screen too that number should be like 100x that amount
ceicil should have told him "the fact that you feel bad about it proves you arent him"
Keep in mind that we're only counting on screen teleporting. A lot of times we cut into new places and Cecil is already there.
0:22
If Cecil is wasting that much money just to teleport his ass around, why didn’t he just teleport that giant bastard into an active volcano?
That means he himself can’t teleport for another 4 minutes
itll fry the teleporter just like when they teleported the kaiju
smart phones are invented for the exact thing he's already been doing
I'm still laughing at Mark's reaction to marrying the widow (1:12)......😅
Damn, I didn’t even register the final number. I just remembered how good the show was and I want to go back to watch it.
Something to keep in mind. This story is older than the show. He specified the number in the comics. And it's kind of assumed the reason he can use it more and more throughout the story is it becomes cheaper after they develop it more.
My favourite bit so far, Rex getting Cecil-scared XD
If the Viltrumites don’t destroy Earth bankruptcy will.😂
The number of times he teleports > the number of times he takes a step
keep in mind the comic came out in 2003, so their gdp was only 3 billion.
1:14 "I can't marry a fish! I have a girlfriend" 😂😂
3:52 lol rex scared
