Vibranium is supposed so absorb kinetic and thermal energy

>vibranium is supposed so absorb kinetic and thermal energy
>bounces off objects and deflects blasts

why is Marvel so inconsistent and shitty?

Children dont understand the law of physics or science so why bother?

>ok with a character getting super powers from a serum
>ok with a character singlehandedly turning the tide of WW2
>ok with a character surviving percectly preserved from being frozen under the ocean for 70 years
>gets upset about a fictional metal

Yeah, sounds about right.

>That thing does not obey the laws of physics at all!

Because in the comics Cap's Shield was a Vibranium and Adamantium alloy that allowed absorb direct impact but still be impressively durable. And any complaints about the Shields use or abilities could be explained off with combining of the two metals.

But since Adamantium is a MAJOR part of Wolverines back story and character it more than likely is fully owned by Fox. So Marvel just went with a full Vibranium shield and kept the classic was he had been using it in the comics without bothering to correct for the change in origin.

You're right, the movie would be better and not shitty if the fictional fantasy thing was made more real and didn't do things the audience went in wanting to see it do. Realism in fiction is the determining factor of quality

XD

It's simple physics:

If the shield is moving, it bounces off the object IT hits.

If the shield is not moving, it deflects the projectile or energy blast.

IT'S SCIENCE, STUPID

This, so much this. It pissed me off when the basically rewrote canon and changed the shield from the one-time never-gonna-happen-again mixture of Adamantium and Vibranium and then just made it stupid for viewers.

Adamantium by concept never wears out, rusts, corrodes, etc - once hardened that's it, it never changes (given that some ultra powerful being with control of matter at the subatomic level isn't attempting to change it).

Vibranium has a limit on how much kinetic energy it can absorb and dissipate based on the concept.In other words, with Cap's new single-material construction there would be a point where it simply would fall apart after it exceeds that capacity.

The whole idea of the shield in the first place and that one time mix of the materials was to create a shield that:

a) had the aspects of Adamantium
b) never could be destroyed by impact or kinetic energy because the mixture of the Vibranium with the Adamantium negated that kinetic capacity limitation

Fucking ruined it. :(

It's capeshit magic. Like every other capeshit element, it's stupid nonsense.

Then I would hold the shield still in the path of the Earth and when the Earth hit the shield the entire energy of Earth would bounce back into itself causing a global earthquake that would crack the planet. Checkmate physics.

>not hawkeye

The only time Iron Man has been a grounded hero was early in the Ultimate comics. Before they just randomly gave him the regular suit.

Recently, I mean. Iron Man was obviously grounded with his first suits. Literally.

>the comic actually gave it thoughts it's the copyright issue that made the movie dumb

I am actually impressed.

Fox owned the key ingredient and withheld it from Marvel

Sometimes Cap is knocked back when something hits his shield, and other times it absorbs the energy. There is no rhyme or reason behind it.

It's more about obeying the internal logic of the fictional world. Make shit consistent, but really the marvel movies are purely on the cool factor for fight scenes that break established capabilities of characters/items.

nah even the first suit he made in a cave with a bunch of scrap would be impossible to construct right now

Why do you all focus on the suit and not on the miracle infinite energy technology that is the miniaturized arc reactor in his chest?
We have jetpacks, we have suits of armor, we have exoskeletons that can make us twice as strong. But we don't have a source of energy that can power all these things, at least not on that scale.
That is the single most unrealistic thing about Iron Man other than the fact that he survives falls, immense g-force, tank shells and being grinded by gigantic helicarrier rotors, all of which should have torn him and his armor to pieces.

>This, so much this. It pissed me off when the basically rewrote canon and changed the shield from the one-time never-gonna-happen-again mixture of Adamantium and Vibranium and then just made it stupid for viewers.

>why do you all focus on the suit and not on something that is a fundamental part of the suit

???

I think pretty much everyone knows that the most unrealistic part about Iron Man is the energy source. Other than, like you said, the magical capability of the suit to absorb kinetic force.

The serum worked exactly as described. The metal operates in contradiction with how it is described. It has nothing to do with how fantastical any part of story is, but about how little interest there is in maintaining coherent rules for their universe.
