If you look at the math you might be surprised random thoughts Send a noteboard - 19/05/2017 02:48:28 AM

I forgot how to do the math twenty years ago but spreading out the deceleration over say a foot instead of millimeters the peak being absorbed art any given moment is dramatically different. Now if they fell a thousand feet then no difference but a hundred feet? Maybe.

The complete disregard of mass is a bigger issue for me. I don't care how strong the Hulk is if a tank weighs 100 times as much as he dots he just punch it and send it flying, he was just go flying in the other direction. The other is the none indestructible heroes getting thrown through a wall and getting up to fight again. Walls are stronger than your ribs.

Apparently the script called for Fahrenheit but they didn't bother converting. Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 02:50:39 PM 194 Views
Star Trek shows usually do a pretty good job with stuff like this aerocontrols - 18/05/2017 03:23:37 PM 229 Views

Presumably Superman moves downward when catching Lois to prevent fatal deceleration. Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 06:16:36 PM 192 Views
Even just bending the knees and letting the arms drop a little would make a huge difference *NM* random thoughts - 18/05/2017 07:03:09 PM 143 Views
Not enough. Not nearly enough. *NM* LiterateDog - 18/05/2017 07:08:30 PM 124 Views

It's not just Superman, though. LiterateDog - 18/05/2017 07:08:01 PM 301 Views
Maybe the standard model is just missing the superpowers boson. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 09:00:24 PM 105 Views
Suspension of disbelief? aerocontrols - 18/05/2017 07:31:51 PM 205 Views
Oh my gosh aero we're talking about things falling not being suspended. Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 09:04:31 PM 206 Views

I hate it when massive plot holes are excused because it is science fiction random thoughts - 19/05/2017 03:11:21 AM 185 Views
