So, this video has been a long time coming. Basically since Infinity War was first released, I knew I wanted to do this video but I wanted to do it right, so I’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time power scaling the entire MCU and I plan to make videos for pretty much every major hero and villain but Thanos is by far the most interesting. Of course, that comes with the territory of being considered the most powerful being in the universe.
The idea with this video is to be as comprehensive as I can be so this is going to be a long one…. But I’m not going to be listing off every feat that Thanos has because we’d be here forever. This video is meant to explain in detail how powerful Thanos is, not recount each and every feat the character has. So, with that said, let’s get into the Power of Marvel Cinematic Universe Thanos.
Before even performing any on screen feats, Thanos was considered by many to be the most powerful being in the universe which is of course stated multiple times throughout the MCU but after arriving in Infinity War, he shows that this was no exaggeration.

[@leonardocerqueiradias6168]

Talking about speed, I don't belive Captain Marvel can move at the speed of light at all. She can travel all that distance so fast because when she starts to build up speed she actually bend space. Similar to how ships do it on Guardians 1 and 2, but she can do it naturally. That, however, can't translate to actual movement, like combat. Because if she is actually traveling from one galaxy to the other, speed of light would still be TOO SLOW to do it in days. Space bending also makes sense with her powers coming from the Space Stone.

[@irvs5922]

The only way to physically actually travel across space faster than light is actually to bend space, using something called a warp drive, which is a sort of engine that frees energy and controls gravity waves to bend space. If captain marvel can do this naturally then she could create black holes, access a higher four dimensional universe to travel across wormholes and control the very fabric of space around her. To do that physically isn’t plausible except if we use the hyperlight theory, which is somewhat how her powers work. Hyperlight is light that is strewn together with bent space, creating energy that is extremely powerful but also really stable, being attracted to dinámica reactions such as living beings, and overcharge them, giving them enhanced strength, resistance, speed, reflexes, agility and intelligence. If the discharge was too great it would also allow them to free this energy in destructive bursts. The problem is that it may grow unstable without some augmentations, so it may actually harm the body by creating these bursts. It’s just a theory though. It would be like having the power stone with a mix of the powers of negasonic teenage warhead.

[@stefan3597]

Ikr. The whole speed part about this video is just nonsense. He's talking about people traveling faster than light which, being faster than light isnt possible according to all laws of physics. And him talking about the gun and lightning stuff is just odd, being able to travel fast doesnt mean your reaction speed is higher and therefor you will be able to dodge all bullets etc.

[@mayonnaise9993]

@@stefan3597 "isn't possible according to all laws of physics", literally everything in this movie isn't possible isn't possible within the laws of physics. Magic exists in their universe, but not ours, it bends the laws of physics.

[@tinamoul]

They don't bend space to travel in the MCU, they have jump points.

[@tomgraham7168]

I’d like to point out that in reality, length contraction or what you morons call ‘bending space’ is a property of the general theory of relativity, and with it comes time dilation. If for instance captain marvel could go 99% light speed she would get to her destination very very very quickly for her, however for us stood still (relatively...) on earth it would take her millions of years to get here. If you’re talking a ‘warp drive’ like in star trek then no, just no. Physical impossibility, if she made herself weigh a lot so that the gravity around her bends space it would not actually contract distances in front of her all that much. I believe you’re thinking of wormholes, hypothetical ‘tunnels’ through spacetime, emphasis on the hypothetical...

[@rinneganbobby7903]

I love how people just say “Thousands and billions the speed of light” like you could even comprehend the speed of just light itself... light can travel around the planet 7 times in 1 second!! stop saying characters are “ftl” when they get shot by bullets lmaoooooooooooooo

[@Phasmania]

Hayden Howell Light up can mean to destroy, and in Endgame, there’s a flashback showing the energy shockwave that came from the snap. The shockwave covered the planet and went even further, so its probably more than enough to charge a continent, and it could probably destroy it.

[@haydenhowell1647]

Hayden Howell The snap energy is the result of that energy buildup

You're correct. A lot of times the narrator gets an idea and doesn't critique himself and runs with it to do an outlandish calculation

[@haydenhowell1647]

@@adityabhalekar3506 the US uses around 3800-4000 terawatt hours of electricity every year. A terawatt hour is energetically equivalent to around .86 megatons of TNT. Therefore, at minimum, the energy required to power the US electrical grid per year is over 3000 megatons. That number would be significantly higher if you included Central America and Canada (so it would be a continent). The tsar bomb ( bomb in history) yielded 50 megatons and had a max theoretical yield of 100 megatons. That means, at minimum, the energy used by a fraction of the North American continent per year is the equivalent of 300 of the largest nuclear weapon ever constructed. If you wanted to do that per day, you would simply divide by 365. Point is, it burnt thanos arm, but it didn’t have lots of other collateral damage. I’m thinking it’s possible they meant the excess energy is enough to power a continent. Could be totally wrong though

As someone that's trained MMA, I really like the theory that Thanos isn't necessarily stronger than the Hulk, but instead is one of the only characters in the MCU that actually studied hand-to-hand combat rather than relying on superpowers. If you watch superhero movies as a boxer, everyone is noticeably terrible at punching, but it's never an issue due to their sheer strength. (Seriously, picture Superman in a boxing match minus his powers.) Thanos is fascinating because he has technique, and his fight with the Hulk shows that he's not just stronger, but a much more technical fighter than Thor.

[@wallywest4727]

What i love about Thanos vs Hulk is every blow and strike that Thanos lands on Hulk has purpose, he doesn't waste anything. Its a perfect takedown and shows that Thanos can actually fight.

[@LAVATORR]

@@wallywest4727 I know, right? I totally get that comic book fights aren't supposed to be realistic, but when you see tiny bits of realism, it really amplifies the stakes. Just comparing Thanos punching to Superman (DC, I know, shut up Internet) says so much about each respective character.

[@utoresa5193]

@@LAVATORR Superman knows martial arts in many versions.Not mma though.But he has practiced more than 5 along with kryptonian martial arts. DCEU supes doesn't really know martial arts but has shown intellect control of his powers and skilled in using them.

When Tony said "light up" im pretty sure he literally meant to illuminate the whole continent

I do love how the release date of the video is also the exact day, one year ago when marvels spider man was released.

I learned a lot thanks

[@SaintFort]

Amazingly informative and entertaining video.

[@thejazzmusician]

How is fat Thor, the strongest version of Thor? 🤔

[@MrRapp-yz4hu]

I was.thinking the same thing.

[@EJ-rj7ju]

Russo’s were on crack when they said that.

[@InfernoBlade64]

thejazzmusician I guess Russos think a fat man with two hammers is stronger than a man in his prime with his strongest hammer only

[@SD-zz4ov]

Probably, because he was enotionally balanced. The talk with his mother probably helped him get through his break down.

[@KeyIssues]

Russo's made the claim but as I said, their statements are shaky at best.

[@utoresa5193]

Light up a continent isn't the same as blowing it up,no sir.

[@SpFlash1523]

Yeah, "Lighting up" a continent means powering it up.

Javon it would only be fair if you equalise speed.

There are too many of them and there are enough magic users that the Avengers would win at this point.

Man, I love that I caught it; I love even more that you said it. The Infinity Gauntlet can light up a continent, that's why you said it's a large island on a scale. I'm more then a satisfied subscriber. Thank you.

[@hemohero6698]

I'm further in the video. Great minds think alike.

[@chancecole437]

Hey! New to your videos, very well done. Question. Why do any people think that, aside from Captain Marvel maybe, MCU characters could even come close to light speed? Like they can go fast, but I don't recall ever seeing anyone get close to that, not even Quicksilver.

[@asdfniofanuiafabuiohui3977]

whats this about the characters in the mcu being able to move faster than light?

[@getschwifty5537]

Right it feels like an absurd discussion to be having. Outside of Iron Man doing travel flight at Mach speeds sometimes and Carol being able to go super fast in the vacuum of space (also, we know there's warp gates throughout the galaxy. Earth even has one nearby so who's to say she never took any shortcuts?) no character has been shown to have combat speed greater than Quicksilver and even Quicksilver is super sonic *at best* I really don't understand where this speed debate comes from at all. Spider-Man clearly isn't like, speed blitzing anyone. He only appears on opposite sides of Thanos rapidly because of the portals. I thought that was obvious. And while I appreciate the number crunching the power scaling community has done for the most part, debating whether or not say, Captain America, can move FTL (even in terms of reaction time) makes me think they're collectively having a stroke.

[@washada]

I’m no scientist, but I feel like people moving, let alone running, even near the speed of light would wreck everything around them.

[@washada]

It’s not. We were commenting about speed. If you want to talk about MCU Thanos, I’m fine with that.

[@ItsButterBean1020]

Yeah I’m with y’all They’re definitely solid Mach range thanks to Tony’s weaker Suits, Hela reacting to Lightning and Thor’s pretty easily creating Mach cones

[@planetmediaskateboarding]

Photons always move at the speed of light, even if they bump into stuff.

[@Richard_GT]

Exactly. Its not that photons are being slowed down within a star, its that they have to travel, in essence, further due to constantly being redirected.

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

They do slow down in a medium, and trough reflection There are many experiments that slow down lassers using a bunch of mirrors Not to mention, ligth is slowed down by any atmosphere or even water

[@planetmediaskateboarding]

@@jesusramirezromo2037 the light particles may be isolated in a fixed space, but they are still moving around in that space at the speed of mass-less particles

[@Skech-]

Dang thanos

[@Prodigious1One]

Great analysis especially about the speed of photons inside a star or in space. I never knew about that.

[@stealthven2352]

make a video ranking all of the mcu characters with power scaling and the exact numbers (not a tier list). that would be soooo good

[@Jckkx]

I love Thanos man MCU Thanos is so badass

[@wearywanderer1912]

Oh, just one mistake: at the end of the video you said Thanos snap obliterated half sentient life. However, when Hulk snaps everyone back, the first evidence is the abundance of birds in the yard, implying the snap ceased half life as a whole (sentient humans and irrational animals).

[@berionggorilya6010]

Can you do an MCU Tier list, similar to the one you did already, but including villains?

[@gyrfalcon7332]

Great video! So Much to absorb. Most of the Avengers don’t need to dodge bullets. So they don’t. The speed of light in air is less than a vacuum but not by a huge amount (relatively).

[@jamesanastasia3237]

The movie version thanos is a sweetheart compared the comic book version!!!

[@baddragonite]

When you calculate Carol's speed you also have to consider momentum of moving through a vacuum. That's how our satellites can travel as fast as they do. Objects movi g through space gain more and more momentum as they travel multiplying the actual energy output used to thrust them forward potentially infinitely given nothing gets in the way. Honestly it's probably more impressive that she survives that trip.

[@ziegfeld4131]

Shes not moving that fast she is able to fold space using the space stones power

[@paulmendoza7125]

“While battling it out with Carol” 😂

[@cykacat4196]

btw, i belive that photons will always travel at light speed. but when going trough a material, it takes a longer path. E.G in the sun, the photons bounce and change directions due to how dense the sun is.

[@LemurMaster]

You're interpretation of "light up" is incorrect. He was referring to powering an electrical grid on a continental (presumably North America) scale. Imagine if he's said "Light up a large city". He's not talking about blowing anything up.

[@mroverdose14]

He was high balling to give the max power out put

[@LemurMaster]

@@mroverdose14 That's not "high balling". It's intentionally misinterpreting the criteria with which he's basing his analysis.

[@Phasmania]

Linsel Greene Tony was referring to how using the stones could be devastating, so it would make sense that he’s talking about blowing up a continent. Tony would probably just say ‘power a continent’ instead of ‘lighting up a continent’ anyway

[@mickeyg7219]

"Because Science" seems to use the annual power consumption of North America for the calculation, I think it make sense for them to use that figure.

[@Phasmania]

Mickey G But the energy shockwave can be seen covering the whole Earth and it keeps on going in Endgame. This is when Rocket is showing how the snap caused a huge cosmic energy surge.
