I want to learn your time traveling abilities

[@LeaderOfTheLostSouls]

Screen Rant The problem is in the MCU Quantum Entanglement isn’t apart of her powers and it isn’t official. Like there’s some issues, It’s debatable if she is even stronger than Thanos if you don’t go off random science that isn’t officially used for the character and never were apart of her powers. If you go off feats, scaling, lore, and such it’s a close fight but she isn’t FAR stronger that’s factually wrong. Captain Marvel’s Powers came from the Space Stone vía the Light Speed Engine which is why she can go faster than light even her Photon blasts are light speed, the reason she was overpowering Thanos is more likely to do with the fact she can absorb energy and her powers came from the Space Stone canonical which made it so she could hold Thanos down and take a headbutt since before he could grab her and throw her aside, not to mention this is after Thanos fought Iron Man, Thor, Worthy Cap, And Scarlet Witch who damaged him, broke his armor, and knocked away his sword so he wasn’t at his best. But she would still be very even with him and could possibly overpower him especially if she can Amp herself by absorbing energy. Yet honestly Scarlet Witch was more impressive, with her powers she can destroy the Mind Stone and she can completely overpower Thanos breaking his sword and armor almost killing him. She just isn’t physically stronger or more durable. Just had to point some stuff out from a scaling and feats view which is more concrete than using science which wasn’t used in the movies and isn’t apart of her powers.

The time machine in endgame sends you back in time, creating a different timeline but it returns you to your own original timeline, and not the future of the timeline you created. That's why you can interact with yourself without causing a paradox.

"The strongest metal on earth and the humans make a frisbee"

[@pattheman3686]

interesting little fact: Vibranium is NOT the strongest metal earth. it may very well be the most "powerful" in terms of practical applications (as we've seen in Black Panther - the stuff is in everything they use from clothes to eating utensils) But there is one metal that is far more durable AND "physically" resistant. I believe the reason it's never been mentioned is due to Marvel Not owning the rights to X Men until now. Can y'all guess what metal I'm talking about?? Yep Adamantium. Adamntium is far heavier and denser than Vibranium and in the origins of Captain America ( the true comic origins) his shield is truly unique because it is the ONLY ONE of it's kind. an alloy of Vibranium AND Adamantium. So it has the properties of absorbing kinetic energy and the added bonus of beinf far more durable than ANY other object made from Vibranium. Fun Fact: if Cap's shield had been Adamantium, Thanos would NOT have been able to tear it apart.

[@ahmedgalal305]

[@bharatsurya9017]

@@pattheman3686 I thought they already cleared that adamantium is an alloy

[@jemal999]

@@pattheman3686 Actually, considering how it acted, it's quite probable that Thanos' blade was a Vibranium-Adamantium alloy, and thus would have been able to destroy an Adamantium shield

[@pattheman3686]

@@jemal999 That "could" be a possibility; we KNOW that Vibranium is not native to Earth, but so far no mention has been made of Adamantium "EXCEPT" in X Men Origins, but I do NOT count that as MCU official history. Besides in Origins They nd up going to Africa for the Adamantium; which is where the Vibranium meteor hit. But then there ARE metals in the cosmos that are just as strong, if not stronger than both Adamantium and Vibranium. Uru for example is stronger by the very fact that it's made from Dwarf Star material, which is Extremely heavy a simple house key made from Uru can weight up to hundreds of pounds. So in effect Mjiolnyr wasn't just unmovable because of the enchantment Odin paced on it, but it was heavy because it was made from Pure Uru metal.

And also - Chuck Berry didn't hear the intro riff that Marty played - he just heard the usual 12-bar blues progression that was already common in his milieu, so how did he compose Johnny B. Goode with that jump intro?

[@justinland5713]

Bruce Banner was what is known in Marvel Comics as a "mutate". In short, he had a genetic propensity to respond to the gamma radiation bombardment in a way which unlocked latent powers rather than killing him. It is similar to how Peter Parker got powers from the radioactive spider, which a radioactive spider bite is not known to confer such properties in the real world. There's a whole backstory for prehistoric Earth which explains why some people are prone to having these kinds of power awakening.

[@chrispork2597]

I appreciate that you lead into your breaks like they do on TV. It's less jarring that just letting the ad interrupt

[@DTG_LOCKETT]

This a video recording of a radio show that has commercials. KZbin has an algorithm that recognizes points in a video where ads can be placed so when he stops the conversation flow for where there was a commercial on the radio show the algorithm places an ad. It's probably based on the same algorithm when CDs were still fairly new. Back then you could record an entire concert as one mp3 file and most CD burning programs could break it up into tracks based on a lull in the music or a beat change. The problem with ads in most videos is the video doesn't have a big enough lull for the algorithm to find so it uses the length of the video. The flaw in the old algorithm was if a song had a beat break the program inserted a track change that you would have manually remove before you burned the cd and it's probably the same issue that you run across on KZbin where a thirty minute video has fifteen ads because it had fifteen lulls and no one manually remove the extra ads

After watching this and listening to Neil talking about Endgame,the fact he's 62 makes me feel not so bad about watching and enjoying this and the other marvel movies, at 56 I'd always thought myself maybe too old,that they were a guilty pleasure.

[@tkskagen]

I was lucky enough to watch "Endgame" and "Captain Marvel" back-to-back at my local Drive-in Theater with my daughter. Luckily, they were shown in the correct "Marvel Timeline" for me to understand better! I am still trying to figure out how the "timeline" of the Teserac fits within the Captain Marvel film... It was found before the "Cap-cicle" was revived, but in the Captain Marvel movie it was given to Fury (and S.H.E.I.L.D.) in the early 1990s. How was the TESERAC obtained by Loki? There is a small 3-8 year window of the Teserac that is missing from our "known" MCU Universe!

[@spaceman081447]

At about 12:53, Neil mentions the fictional element "unobtainium" as being from the movie Avatar. However, I was mildly disappointed that he didn't mention that unobtainium appeared first in the movie The Core. (By the way, unobtainium is an old in-joke in engineering school that refers to a material that has properties that are far beyond those of any known material, such as being an infinite heat-sink or a perfect insulator or having zero electrical resistance at room temperature.)

At the time that Jim Starling wrote the original stories, the idea that Saturn's moon was so Earth-like was very much part of popular culture. All the nerds were very excited about this, so Starling capitalized on that. Remember these guys weren't trying to build a legacy at the time. They were just trying to write stories that would be impelling to their audiences at the time.

Also, when he goes back to live with Peggy Carter, Frozen Cap is still frozen and becomes unfrozen in 2011, and as long as Future Cap never gets involves and tells everyone he's back (which he wouldn't), then nothing changes the Past Cap from saving people like he originally did.

To prevent logically impossible paradoxes, time has to be stable and unchanging (ie, you can't change your own past). As such, it can work only like Prisoner of Azkaban, where what you will do when you go back in time already happened, or Endgame where you enter (or create, which would be better,) a new timeline by time traveling.

[@coreysuffield]

45:09 in guardians of the galaxy 1 they use gravity generators or rather disable the gravity generators to escape from the prison in the tower command center so gravity generators are established, even if there is no other mention of them in the rest of the marvel movies

Captain Marvel: the quadjet was upgraded with Skrull tech by that Skrull scientist, and presumably one of the upgrades was artificial gravity. Also, gravitonium in Agents of SHIELD

[@dannyfloresbo]

Nitpicks: Captn Marvel does not Quantum Teleport, she uses space portals that have wormholes. Their "beeper" also has this technology, and most of their comm devices. it is kind of hinted in her movie. Titan is not in our solar system, it is a planet outside our solar system, it just shares names.

[@jaredschuster3010]

I think the cap being old at the end could have been done in way to keep it all nice. So first he misses his window a few times, then comes back on the platform but old. As they said before sending cap to return all the stones it would take as long as he needed. So steve just needed to go back, return the stones, live with Peggy, and then just put back on the time suit and be brought back they way he was supposed to after living the life he wanted.

I think they implied the Titan in Infinity War wasn't Saturn's moon as it was in the comics. In the comic, Saturn is uninhabitable as it is in the real world, and everyone lives underground. Furthermore, in Infinity War, Iron Man states while on Ebony Maw's ship that they're 'billions of miles away from home', whereas Saturn is only 1.4 billion miles from Earth. They're likely going to another solar system with a planet of a similar name. Also, Titan has no satellite moon. Yet Thanos threw one at Tony.

[@vendettarules1]

No science in Hawkeye??!! You gotta know the crazy math that goes on in his head to be able to always hit a shot!!

[@DaxSass]

I thought his power was "one shot" or "bull's eyes". No math involved. He just sees his target then he hits it, baring any obstacle that happens after his shot. He just likes the bow for the added challenge. With a sniper gun or even a plasma gun, he would just be too deadly.

[@vendettarules1]

@@DaxSassIt's well established in the MCU that he doesn't have "powers" so he has to do the math to nail a shot

[@DaxSass]

@@vendettarules1 yes, that is his power, the crazy physic math that goes thru his mind to get the one perfect shot. He can calculate path, vector, velocity, acceleration, environmental obstacle and other stuffs in the blink of an eye. He just cant talk science or boil water for a living.

[@guitarman0365]

@@DaxSassI agree he does seem to have that ability passively and not something he actively is trying to do. i think the bow allows for a style and different ammo types like hacker attachements, mini bombs, and the like. Bullets are probably too boring and limiting for him. in civil war when he says "played 18, shot 18 just can't seem to miss" seems to me that implies it is not something he actively does through insane mental math skills but just something he is gifted with and comes naturally. He can't seem to miss anything unless interrupted mid shooting process. So I feel clint does actually have powers in a sense.
