Something in particular you can point out? I feel a bunch of physics gripes are hand-waved away 'cause superheoes

Captain Marvel vs. the Space Ships here:

https://youtu.be/G6JeKBYPIs8#t=1m53s

There were others. Once clips become more widely available you'll see what I mean.

I'm gonna be honest. I don't see anything particularly bad, let alone laughably bad. It just looks like normal CGI space ship battles.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It's when she stops the ship dead in mid air and flings it away. Physics does not work like that. /Morbo :)

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

How does the physics supposed to work In that scene? A flying super human with super human strength stopping a smallish ship mid air and flinging it?

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Ya, captain marvel flies into and then out of a star at the end of the movie. Her stopping something dead in its tracks is peanuts compared to that.

Edit, I actually watched the clip this time, she gets knocked back a little bit catching the ship. There is nothing silly here at all.

Stopping suddenly like that would have destroyed the ship, it would have crumpled around her.

Superman stopping a falling airplane by pressing on its nose has been a standard superhero comics scene for 70 years

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

When Supes did that it took effort, the plane would still push him backwards. It wasn't an instant stop of momentum and flip.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I think you should watch it again. It pushes her back too.

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Same physics should apply to Louis Lane falling from a helicopter and superman catching her from below right?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You'd think, right?

I liked how Alan Moore dealt with it in Miracleman:

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Makes sense. Thanks
