"Do you hear it?" He says, as he awaits the sound-barrier breaking ball.

[@matthewvoorhees7825]

Love your comment. How would he hear the sound before a ball that is traveling so much faster than the speed of sound har orbited the Earth without burning up or being misdirected by friction from air, rain, MOUNTAINS at one point, etc. Even if the ball was protected by a material that resists friction, this is beyond impossible in low orbit. The entire scene almost lost me to the show. Yep, I know they fly and have super human strength. They still have to work within the laws of physics.

[@muinoel3335]

It probably was the sound of the sonic boom itself.Normally when something breaks the sound barrier,it crushes the sound waves in front of it,creating a deafening noise,which is what causes the funnel shape in front of the object as the sound waves displace the air around it,in a way similar to how high frequencies of sound can shatter glass.👍🏻 (I know this is fiction,but it's fun trying to explain the various plot holes😂)

[@linex7566]

Really subtle what the show did there; on the surface, this is just a super-powered dad and his son playing catch...by literally throwing the ball across the entire world. When Mark throws it, it shows just how _careless_ of a situation it actually is - the shots focus on a ball as it passes right next to a plane, over the skyline of a city and actually breaks through the top of a mountain...If any other circumstances happened, the ball would've struck the plane, crashed through a building and caused an avalanche. The show was planting the seeds that these super-powered beings are being awfully cavalier with not only their powers, but people's lives.

@@Mrpersonman0 It's interpretive. Nolan's speech is clearly meant to have a different meaning on a rewatch, talking about doing things Mark doesn't *want* to do, but apparently needing to anyway. This speech was even called back to when Nolan admits the truth of Viltrum and his mission, pointing out things they "have" to do. As such, it's not a leap to say the scene does the same with the game itself. We see the ball nearly hit a plane, cruise right past skyscrapers, and most notably impact the mountain, spraying snow and ice on mountaineers, causing them to curl together for safety. Yeah, on a first watch it can clearly indicate scale and grandeur of their powers, but with future context, it's impossible to watch this without acknowledging scenes like the Subway, of Nolan forcing Mark to acknowledge the physical differences between them and humanity.

What's so heartbreaking about the end of S1 is that Mark truly did find guidance in his father, and truly looked up to him. Mark's interpretation of what Omni-Man said helped him become who he is. And so when Omni-man violates all of that, Mark feel's like he lost theg ground he was standing on.

Omni man didn't violate what he said, he was trying to prepare Mark to join him in the viltrumite operation.

He trew it pretty blindly so im surprised the ball didn't hit a mountain or something 3. Those gloves (even the ball lol) should explode from the energy given to them by the ball hitting them, just a ball that is traveling at the speed of sound can tear a hole in them. 4. I didn't count with any acceleration at all so i did the math with the intent in mind that the ball goes from 0 to max instantly and from that to 0 again. Basically i used the basic speed formula.

In case you're wondering, that ball went at about 81,911 miles per hour. That's mach 107 (so, over 100 times faster than the speed of sound.)

[@gaminggeckos4388]

I'm sure plenty of people have calculated this before, but I thought it'd be pretty fun to calculate it myself.

[@evanwilliams1199]

Nolan's speeches are really chilling once you know what's going on

[@EJSweaty]

This scene shows how invincible is stronger than his dad. Omni man’s throw took about ten seconds to go around. Marks went around in about five seconds. (Obviously Omni man probably could’ve did it if he threw harder but for being a youngster it’s impressive that he beat his dad without noticing.)

[@josemarquez9454]

This will always be my favorite scene And it made my heart ⚡️ ❤

[@selder_7]

The level of accuracy you’d need for that is nuts, 1 degree off and they won’t even see the ball when it comes around

Not to mention the planets' rotation but around the sun too.

i love how the yellow on his suit makes an i its such a great subtle detail and how omni mans words can be interpreted as him giving general hero advice trying to convince his son to conquer the world and him trying to treasure himself what his about to do is the right thing

The baseball in this scene is going 1,381.396 miles per second(assuming there is no drag), as it is traversing 24,865 miles (the circumference of the earth at Chicago) in a time of 18 seconds. For reference, the fastest object recorded within the Earth’s atmosphere was the manhole cover used during the Pascal-B nuclear test, which went up at 37 miles per second.

They got the voices right on point man I can’t wait for the next season ..I feel Omni man is gonna team up with his son and take on conquest and the whole viltrimite army after Omni man can’t kill his son….or mark goes super Saiyan and gets a new level of power …

[@glasses7577]

Bro this scene is so fucking good. Like ignoring the whole plot and re-contextualizing it goes through after episode 7 and 8, it’s just so well written. The music getting more intense as the scene reaches its climax is so fucking hype. Massive props to the folks who made this gem.

[@lildaiki7629]

I love the super hero stuff of invincible but the father son stuff in invincible is done so well.

Sure Nolan and Mark are super strong superhero’s but we’re not gonna talk about how durable that Baseball is?!?

This clips shows how deep a fathers advice can give a son strength,confidence, and wisdom all in one conversation, this is much needed in today’s society which is seriously lacking!

No worries, nothing too revealing

[@godusopp1797]

I'd be interested to know if the ball should have left orbit instead of circumnavigating the globe as it did

[@snappishtemperament213]

The Earth's circumference (this figure is probably measured from the ground and not from the height that they're at) is 24,901.461 mi (40,075.017 km), traveled in about 17.9 seconds from Nolan's first throw in this video (I just used a stopwatch for this, so it may not be the MOST accurate thing in the world lol). That's about 1,391.143 mi/s (2,238.828 km/s). Escape velocity is 6.959 mi/s (11.2 km/s), measured from 124.274 mi (200 km) up in the sky. The lower you are to the ground, the higher the escape velocity will be, but I don't really know how high up these guys are. I honestly don't think that makes TOO much of a difference here though, because this ball is travelling at 0.007% the speed of _light,_ so, without actually bothering to plug it into the actual formula for finding escape velocity when -I'm not well-versed enough in math or physics to know how to work with the Gravitational Constant and- I don't know what height they're at, I'm just gonna _assume_ that _"THIS BALL IS LONG GONE, JUST LIKE-A THE EX-GIRLFRIEND WHO. WILL. NEVER! RETURN!!!"_ Sorry I'm too much of an uneducated idiot to be _actually_ helpful here with a solid number answer for you, but you definitely did give me something to research on and do for the past hour, so props for that! But yeah, if you can orbit the planet in less than 20 seconds, there is no way in _Hell_ you're staying in orbit. For added reference, light speed would enable you to orbit the Earth 7 times a second.

[@godusopp1797]

oh cool my question got answered. (@@snappishtemperament213 For real tho, thanks for putting in the effort, even if it's not the precise answer you were hoping to give. I don't think you would need to worry about being an uneducated idiot too since I'm literally the uneducated idiot in the first place for asking without bothering to research it myself)

It’s kind of crazy that mark got his powers recently and is capable of that. Not only that he made it travel around the planet, but the accuracy of it coming back around to where his dad was without him needing to move to catch it

[@Silentguy_]

Even with the context of how Omni Man already killed the Guardians at this point, the show somehow still manages to make this a very heartfelt and uplifting motivational speech. In the greater context of everything he’s done and what he wants to do, it is tragic, but just this moment it’s great.

[@theofficialobama5434]

I did the math. For the ball to have traveled the entire diameter of the earth in 18 seconds the ball had to be thrown at 440.35 mps (708.68 km/s) which is 1545260 mph (2550683.34 km/h) or 2066 times the speed of sound.
