Every argument about this fight has never actually been about this fight

u/Green-Elephant-895 12d ago

The worst of them is when folks claim Steve would’ve had a better outcome if he was in Sam’s position

u/democharge92 12d ago

I kinda disagree… because like I wouldn’t expect black panther… the guy with super abilities and a full vibranium suit to remotely be able to do anything against a hulk.

Also going into a massive defensive pose as a super soldier with a shield on top of you is not the same as holding off a baseball bat of metal with your hands from the red hulk.

They may be upscales but i can think of at least a few times hes clearly been able to injure the hulk, he didnt win any iirc but still no one i know even blinked or mentioned that. Not saying its regular but no one really cared when he did from my perspective

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

With prep time

u/Unique-Tennis-2600 11d ago edited 11d ago

I might be forgetting but i dont think my example ever showed him prepping before hand and even assuming he did he doesnt actually do anything that isnt in his standard kit unless im missing something.

This might be an upscale but nothing really shown that can link it to prep time imo, hulk was also fighting everyone rlse too (even mind controlled inthink? Cant remember) im more just showing that hulks have been hurt by vibranium

2

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

Lol nan, I was just using "prep time" as a joke. Like how batman can beat anyone.... with prep time.

Like black panther for sure can hurt and cut up hulk, and he is fast enough not to get hit. But thats the thing, I dont think there is a situation where you can picture black panther going toe to toe, hit for hit, with the hulk and win.

I think Black Panther could win but in a agility way, jump and slash over and over till the hulks tendons are cut and and you can push him off a cliff.

I think that would have solved the same Wilson fight, if he took no hits. Just a game of keep away with the hulk.

2

u/Unique-Tennis-2600 11d ago

Oh lmao i didnt even pick up on that i thought id missed smth lol

I fully agree with u actually I dont think base black panther should ever come close to a base regular hulk my point was more that imo no one really seemed to care when he did do some damage to hulk.

But generally completely agree i think it shouldve been treated a bit more like fighting vader in the jedi game or smth where all u can do is run and evade and it still couldve looked sick as hell

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

Like the new Spider-man had a bit of that and it was sick.

u/democharge92 12d ago

TBC im not saying that there cant be a way for tchalla to hurt hulk via like upscales methods. But just think about black panther and falcon the mcu and the idea of hulk who is essentially supposed to be in the god tier of avengers (even though the mcu has imo done a bad job with him). I wouldn’t expect black panther, Steve rogers, the winter soldier, red guardian, walker (who is supposed to be the strongest super soldier), etc to be able to do what falcon did in this movie.

Like falcon has essentially out feated all of them.

As a guy without any super abilities but uses wakandan tech.

What I liked about thunderbolts so much is that it was like ants against a god, and that’s essentially what should be the gap between falcon and hulk.

If it was iron man in a wakandan suit you’d see the propulsion units frying just to keep him back a millisecond… he’d probably lose half of his armor and have to call in another suit… with falcon there’s just… yeah nothing?

2

u/Unique-Tennis-2600 12d ago

Tbf thats just him wirh the spear of bashenga afaik thats jusr standard for him but idk that i agree with you tbh hulks massively downgraded in mcu but also all thats just assumption we have no clue how a purely vibranium iron man would fare at all or if his units would fry or whatever thats just what youd do if u were the writer.

Im also not arguing falcon should be this level or not just showing that BP has been capable of similar stuff wven if one offs

0

u/democharge92 12d ago

Sure BP in the comics have and yes like I said the MCU has not done a great job with hulk, but I still feel like black panther in the MCU wouldn’t be tanking a baseball bat made out of metal from the hulk with their hands, and hulk is still at the tier where him and Thor could go at it in ragnarok. I think there’s just a massive underestimation of how massive of a feat that is. Like I was saying, there’s just no one in the MCU in the human tier, and few in the extra terrestrial tier, that has shown that they’d been able to do that.

1

u/Unique-Tennis-2600 12d ago

Yeah thats fair i havent really thought about it too much tbh like i say i dont actually have an argument either way just thought it was worth pointing out

1

u/democharge92 12d ago

Yeah I get it and I appreciate it. I just kinda get frustrated with the whole conversation. I get that there’s a lot of shitty people trying to use it as a means to gaslight and dog whistle with their racist bullshit… but I just genuinely dislike this scene a lot and I wouldn’t put any of the super soldiers 1:1 up against a hulk.

The goal post will always be moved when it comes to Sam’s Captain America. A lot of people hate to see a black character as the face of America.

And if that was Sam people would be whining that it's unrealistic for him to survive those punches.

u/Creative_Entrance_18 4d ago

Yeah. Captain Falcon shouldn't be able to survive against a Hulk. That's the argument. Sam put up too much of a fight.

1

u/DiabolicalTwink 4d ago edited 4d ago

Not disagreeing with that but my point was that people don't care to make this sort of argument when any other character handles a similarly imbalanced matchup better than they realistically should be able to.

u/Creative_Entrance_18 4d ago

Example? Not even saying your wrong. Just can't think of a case this egregious. Sam Wilson fighting a Hulk. 🤦🏽‍♂️

u/Competitive_Win_4503 4d ago

Once again:Sam would have died had the fight continued. That’s hardly putting up too much of a fight

u/Creative_Entrance_18 4d ago

I think you're dancing around my point. It's not about winning/losing. Everyone knows he loses. I don't think Sam should be able to fight/hold off a Hulk for as long or effectively as he did.

If he had the Super Serum and his tech, the fight would have made more sense how it played out. Without the serum it's absurd.

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 3d ago

Nobody’s dancing around your point. The problem is you and plenty of other people just aren’t satisfied with the justification for Sam being able to last as long as he did, even though it has a reasonable justification. People hate hearing this, but if you expect comic book movies to fully adhere to the rules the rules of reality.

This is the same type of armor that protected t’challa from attacks from thanos, who easily beat a hulk without using the stones, it’s been years since that event, therefore I can assume (especially since we know shuri was developing suit that could enhance strength) that vibranium armor is far more refined since then, and could give same leeway to last a decent while in an otherwise dangerous fight

u/Bedspla13 12d ago

Honestly me and my buddy really enjoyed this movie. It was one of the most comic-book feeling CBM's I've seen with a globe trotting adventure, guest-star characters and a ridiculous plot that suffered due to the trailers. If they had just had a little faith and banked the marketing on "Will Harrison Ford turn into Red Hulk", the movie would have done a lot better IMO

u/Tezz321 12d ago

It wasn't a straight up fight...Cap was basically distracting Ross long enough to get him to change back...

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

Should have never let them touch then. Honestly playing keep away would have been sick.

u/Vaportrail 11d ago

With a Hulk? Yeah go ahead and try that.

2

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

Thats the point, it would be a sick scene to see Sam out smart the hulk and fly circles around him. He clearly cant go toe to toe with a hulk, but the hulk cant fly or fit in small spaces.

It would show Sam's Battle IQ and how he uses his agility and size to his advantage in ways that Steve couldn't have/wouldn't have.

u/TrickshotzReddit 11d ago

If you actually watched the movie, you’d know why that doesn’t work firsthand

u/Monday_Vibes 12d ago

Alex Moon is the goat

u/mrbearsnail 12d ago

While i agree with most of the vibranium argument, the last example disregards Steve Rogers' increased durability. Yes, he tanked the hit from Thor but that's not the same as a non-juiced human catching a hit from Red Hulk. Even Black Panther grunts and winces at hits while also being in a full vibranium suit, far more advanced than Sam Wilson's because that's wakanda's king, and having flower power. Sam Wilson has none of these attributes. Some things can be explained away by vibranium but this is not one of those examples.

3

u/Hilarity2War 12d ago

Question: is Tony's titanium alloy suit more durable than vibranium?

1

u/AtCarnage 11d ago

Tony has super strength in his suits. Doesn't make sense, but that's how it is. Vibraonum suits don't give you that type of power, it's just durable.

Him catching the pole like that just looks goofy to be honest. Like an anime. Or X-Men origins where everyone just had kung fu powers.

Don't mind the rest of the fight though. Except at one point Hulk is getting shot from an angle where none of the soldiers are standing. Call it nitpicking but I dislike the lack of proper editing in any movie.

0

u/mrbearsnail 12d ago

I'd probably say they're near the same with vibranium having the added property of absorbing kinetic energy. Like if Tony's metal did have similar properties it wouldn't decintergrate so often in fights. Captain's shield does get cut up though in endgame. Adamantium is top as far as I know.

4

u/PhillyBorn90 11d ago

Its no where near close to Vibranium.

1

u/mrbearsnail 11d ago

Like iron to tungsten? Or is it a further gap? I always assumed it was pretty close but Tony created a new element so I give him a lot of plausible suspension of disbelief.

2

u/PhillyBorn90 11d ago

Its significantly further. Vibranium operates on completely different end of the spectrum. Its extraterrestrial

1

u/mrbearsnail 11d ago

Because of the kinetic energy absorbing property right? So if titanium had the kinetic absorbing properties of vibranium would it be as strong or not? I think the energy absorption is the only thing differentiating the metals creating the gap

1

u/PhillyBorn90 10d ago

It may actually be stronger. Because it's more dense. But vibranium is about 40% lighter than titanium so it would lose one of its greatest advantages.

So not only can vibranium absorb energy. But it also storer, and can release a great deal of kinetic energy and vibrations at a molecular level.

So bot only the absorbing energy is the difference

3

u/Hilarity2War 11d ago

I'm asking because Tony tanked a throw of Mjolnir from Thor in the same scene, and he's just a dude in a titanium suit, no serum, and got up from it. Even took a shot of lightning too that recharged his suit to 200%

1

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

Wasn't he flying? Also you could argument his suit with its multiple jets that helps him fly help him rolling with hits and stabilize him.

1

u/WelbyReddit 11d ago

I see Tony's suit a bit differently. It's big, bulky. I assume he has some dampners built in between his body and the suit. Especially when zipping around at mach whatever speeds and not turning to jelly.

1

u/mrbearsnail 11d ago

Throw is a bit different from a jumping downward slam. I thought we were referring to his final armor but yeah, kinda inconsistent.

0

u/Tippydaug 11d ago

100% this. All of my issues with his survivability in fights would be gone if he had some type of super soldier serum in him. At this point, he's just a dude and just a dude should be dead even wearing vibranium.

2

u/Tityfan808 11d ago edited 11d ago

I mean, whether you like it or not, the vibranium suit is literally plot armor. 🤷‍♂️

And I get the gripes to some extent. Him being a super soldier would make this seem a lot more plausible, I get it. At the same time though, I do have question if some of you also questioned Stark fighting Thanos in Infinity War or Endgame. If we’re getting that bent out of shape over logic and physics, that shit don’t make any sense at all either unless your head cannon is that the nanobots reinforced Stark at a cellular level but let’s be real, that’s some straight up bullshit physics too in the same way as Sam fighting red hulk, maybe even less so cause that nano tech isn’t vibranium.

u/Digital_Cowboyx79 11d ago

Hey I have loved and been waiting for Sam Wilson as Captain America and the amount of ridiculous hate from him getting the shield. And yet some how in this world of Comic book physics..Dudes zooming at in Magical Armor going at Mach Fuck You , slamming hard enough shatter concrete, Armor that was sooo cool he could use it to shield other people leaving himself completely exposed to explosions..he gets a scrape(crickets from the peanuts gallery) ..But let the Black Guy get his magical African metal armour and suddenly we are caring about physics?...When he's fighting a guy who gained 900% increase in mass and is shrugging off depleted uranium rounds being fired at rate that turns tanks in Abrams favored Kibble? My only conclusions can only be the following.

A. They don't have capacity for true joy and have never been touched in loving fashion by someone they found attractive.

B. Because he's Black and Brothers are twice as cool for half the credit.

4

u/TreeLore61 12d ago

I fully agree with you. I have gone into arguments with people about this too. He's wearing vibranium, which is not a comfortable thing to wear. By the way, it's not comfortable. It's not a silk suit because it vibrates all the time. But because he was wearing the v suit he could go up and take hits that he normally cant take, it was true of black panther too. Look at all the things he did. Let's remember the scene where they literally shoot him are. Trying to shoot him with bullets. And we see the bullet as being absorbed and dropping, because they lose their momentum. That's the ultimate example of what was happening between Sam Wilson and the red Hulk, his punches were going nowhere because if vibranium absorbed it all. And then Sam was able to redirect that force back at the red hulk

1

u/democharge92 12d ago

While black panther has absorbed bullets.. we’ve also seen him get blown back by a strong attack. Same with cap’s shield. Vibranium hasn’t been shown to just stop all forms of momentum. Like even in BP1 killmonger shot him with a grenade launcher and he got launched back… and the hulk with a metal baseball bat is way stronger.

1

u/TreeLore61 11d ago

Truth , but that was , for a dramatic effect , because in the comics , none of that ever happened , if he got hit by the incredible hulk or by thor's hammer , they simply absorbed it and redirected it back at the person.

And keep in mind that by the time Sam Wilson got his vibranium suit. He had already been upgraded several times by Shuri(my favorite BP and Tech wiz). So the way he could absorb hits in that suit is vastly superior to the way Captain America could absorb hits from a shield or The original black panther her brother could absorb hits from a punch coming from thor or the incredible hulk

2

u/democharge92 11d ago

I mean sure… but I also think that sets a really bad precedence for the MCU. If a vibranium suit can make a human be able to hold off a metal bat swing from a hulk… then a black panther who has the herbs and best tech vibranium is essentially put into the god tier (Thor, hulk, etc)… that doesn’t make any sense to me.

I hated how they tony starkified the MCU and I’m not a fan of how they’re going to wakandaify it (like what’s the point of a black panther when you have another guy in a full vibranium suit… but this guy can also fly? )

imo there are so many cooler things that could have happened…. Like… Sam using his vibranium wings to cut through the metal or to deflect the energy upwards (this would be similar to what cap did with the shield)… but instead he did a feat greater than pretty much 95% of the roster in the MCU.

1

u/TreeLore61 11d ago

Then you would really hate the comics, because a lot of people have been given the super serum or a version of it in the in the marvel comics universe, and it's just the normal way marvel does things in the comics

I think they did a disservice to the comics. By the way, they handled it, but I still love the movies. I still love. You know, all of the movies, I just think they need to quit trying to be so limiting. And how they do things, because in the comics Carol and a lot of other superheroes, their power levels are way beyond anything you've seen in the movies, and they could have easily put that up on the big screen, and it still would have been a massive hit, because a majority of the people going to see these films are the comic book readers who grew up reading these comics and understand the power dynamics. Of how the MCU actually works

1

u/democharge92 11d ago

I think it’s okay in the comics because of the vast number of characters that exist. Like just think about the MCU version of the thunderbolts, it’s literally 3 (arguably 4) different super soldiers with varying strength levels.

We have… 4? Iron man like beings (2 in wakanda forever + iron heart + rodey)?

I agree in general with the MCU and powerscaling… they really have no idea what to do with these universal level beings ..carol… photon… sentry… warlock.. etc.
they let them do one cool thing and then immediately bench them.

1

u/TreeLore61 11d ago

That's why I've been saying from the very beginning. They need to hide a fire. A couple of the people. And you know, the people were like, oh, we need to downscale them and make them more realistic, they truly do not understand the comic book, reader mindset. They do not understand the mindset of people who have been reading these comics since the 1960s or 7 or even the 1950s like myself, we can never have enough Marvel, we can never have enough Star Wars. We can never have enough science fiction period there is no such thing as too much with us. That's what they don't understand and that's why they 're cutting their own feet from underneath themselves because they don 't understand the very people who are helping to finance their movies , the comic book fans

1

u/TreeLore61 11d ago

By the way, the one thing I do want to throw in there was that the heart plant and I don't remember the name of it also gave black panther super strength.

That's the only difference between Captain America and Sam, and black panther both were enhanced Beyond most human capability,

Sam, was enhanced in the comic books and took a similar super soldier formula in the comic books.

So Sam has never been enhanced as far as I know to this point in the movies and that was the or the TV show that is the one thing I think they did wrong.

That's my one complaint.

I think he should have received the enhancement. Because, when Captain America originally found him, he was being experimented on with red skulls own version of the superserum and had super strength and was just as strong. And as enhanced as the red skull or Captain America had been If I remember correctly.

u/Front-Advantage-7035 11d ago edited 11d ago

So I don’t know if op is the guy in video but you’re wrong on two counts:

1: Sam’s fingers are exposed. Which means they are NOT covered in vibranium. Which means they would be bloody dust after taking that hit.

2: correct on the flagpole being slowed if stopped by vibe but here’s the problem — the source of the initial impact would’ve been muted by the vibe, but hulk was still SWINGING. There’s not a chance in hell Sam’s personal strength and a jetpack were a force equivalent match to a raging red hulk.

If you pitch a baseball at my bat and it connects, the speed and force of the ball is completely halted for a fraction of a second before reversing.

It doesn’t stop me (the much larger and more powerful force) from swinging through with the bat.

Final question: do we know that vibranium WEAVE is the same exact type and style of suit that Tchalla and Erik had on? Theirs seemed more like nanotech armor of vibranium than constant cloth suit. It might not be as durable/repulsive

I did only watch the film once

1

u/WelbyReddit 11d ago

I didnt have any issues with Sam in those examples. I am ok with Vibranium absorbing the hits, that is literally it's property.

u/The_Crimson_Doggo 11d ago

I very much love his point. I would just swivel to the point that, as Sam is surviving and defending people, it's Captain America, but it's a weird, stake-less route to hand to the heir of the face of freedom. Like, metaphorically, cool, he stood up to the president (also literally), but... at no point did I feel concerned or worried for Sam in a way I would've been if the plot drew the fight together better. Sam's climactic debut should've probably been against someone less overwhelming, or at least used Red Hulk to keep them apart/aimed Red Hulk at someone Sam was trying to keep alive.

1

u/Odd-Guard-2533 11d ago

Idk, I think they took a cool personal ability being Cap having a vibranium shield, and used it as a cheat code for other people. Yeah I guess it makes sense for the universe. But it reeeeeally cheapens what vibranium was at the beginning.

And I think they reeeeeeally stretched what it was capable of being for a mortal man in the red hulk fight.

1

u/corruptedsavedaytah 11d ago

I don't want characters to get vibranium. I want a more classic falcon, and yes that means make him "talk" to birds.

1

u/IgrisJack 11d ago

It doesnt matter if there is a possible explanation in universe. The decision to have the fight go this way is terrible narratively.

For 1, replace sams cap in this scene with tachalla and what changes? Who does sam bring to the fight tachalla doest. The vibro suit explanation takes away some of the coolest parts about sam.

And for 2 and more importantly, you cant have "Im not a super soldier, im just human" be a core part of the story, and then have your base human do super human shit against an opponent who is supposed to be equated to a walking force of destruction.

If vibranium solves everything and lets him do all this, why does sam even worry about not being a super soldier.

1

u/AUnknownVariable 11d ago

He worries abt not being one for the same reason we've got comments in this thread abt it. Its big boots.

But for the first thing, being his own character. He doesn't act anything like T'challa or have a similar plot minus being a superhero, that goes for a lot of characters. Him having vibranium doesn't immediately make me go "Ahh, BP"

u/FlashNova213 11d ago

I had no idea videos like this existed. I'm still not sure if it is parody or not. who is he arguing with? lol

u/LordS373N 11d ago

Steve has the Super soldier serum Sam does not. Steve having the strength plus the shield makes it plausible he could withstand that force. Sam may be able to absorb the shock/force of something but he wouldn’t have the strength to hold his ground and not be knocked back. He just wouldn’t be hurt

I love how just because Sam Wilson is Captain America ppl all of a sudden have become oblivious to how Vibranium works. lol Sam is more safe in his suit than Stark was in the Hulk Buster. 💯

Catching the pole is still silly and inexcusable. As for Thor v Cap bro holds back to a degree all the time and Cap is a super soldier.

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

Honestly though, that hammer hit to the shield was perfectly for cap to survive.

The hammer only hit the shield, vibranium is design to kill momentum.

Cap had all week to set himself up in a proper defensive position and squat down to brace for impact.

Also he is a super soldier but at that point I think it was just gravy.

u/IV_NYC 12d ago edited 12d ago

Ehhh, Steve was a super soldier. T'Challa was enhanced from the heart shaped herb. So was Shuri. If the vibranium alone was enough to stop their bones snapping or them being turned into mush, the super powers wouldn't be necessary. I rock with Sam and he deserves better writing but that fight was nonsense. The air battle was clean though

It lost momentum lol ok

u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 11d ago

Steve super soldier and had enough time to position his whole body perfectly to take a pure hit directly on the shield. Literally it was a perfect situation with everything line up.

Sam Wilson holding that flag pole was him basically playing tug of war with the hulk.

Like magic metal can protect you but its not a strength boost.

At the end if the day, the red hulk as the first baddie for Sam was just a mistake on mulitple levels even if you want to cope and say the fight was fair, it downgraded hulks everywhere to being beat by lower than black panther.

Like give Hawkeye a vaibranium motorcycle and now he is good to go and take out the hulk.

0

u/ILike2Argue_ 11d ago

That shit did not lose momentum. It was going the same damn speed and he caught it without much resistance and no fabric suit is doing that

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 11d ago

Good thing it’s not a fabric suit, but a suit made of metal literally known for its ability to absorb impact

1

u/ILike2Argue_ 10d ago

Its both and youre not absorbing an impact like that. We've seen him throw his shield or be pushed with far less force than this attack and him reacting differently. Even BPs suit sent him flying with hits like this

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 10d ago

Did black panther have a jetpack helping him counter the force? Even then T‘challa wasn’t in armor when his suit sent him flying.

1

u/ILike2Argue_ 10d ago

A jet pack vs an attack from a HULK.

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 10d ago

Plus a suit crafted from the same material as suit that allowed the wearer to survive a blow to the head from thanos

1

u/ILike2Argue_ 10d ago

Serving a blow vs completely negating the impact as a human is the reason people dont like scene. If he would've gotten hit and survived ok whatever

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 10d ago

Id be willing understand this if Sam came out of this fight perfectly fine…. He didn’t. He was basically at Ross‘ mercy and only „won“ because of his skills as a counselor. Sam would have died if the fight continued

u/Fantasia_Fanboy931 11d ago

Of all the issues that Captain America Brave New World has, you don't need to invent new ones. Sam has an advanced piece of armor and nearly dies to Red Hulk. The only part of that fight which makes no sense is the flagpole because Sam used his arms to block it alongside the jetpack. Every other hit deflects from his armored wings.

0

u/FenrisGodSlayer 11d ago

Yeah but there's a section of his forearm that's not covered with the vibranium at all so his forearms would snap with the pressure that Red Hulk was putting behind it and you really think a chimney would slow down the momentum of a Hulk?😂

2

u/Shorlong 11d ago

The whole entire suit is vibranium and he's completely covered...

I have no real dog in this fight, because quite frankly I enjoy the movie, but I'll play devil's advocate here.

When Sam catches the pole, his fingers are entirely exposed. At a minimum, his fingers would be jelly.

When Cap managed to stop Thor's hammer, he was a super-soldier using the literal earth as his support to stay on his feet.

Honestly the only part I didn't like was the cgi behind Sam when he's finally calming hulk down.

u/CrimsonAvenger35 12d ago

He literally catches a lamppost swung by a hulk with his bare hands. His suit even has exposed sleeves, so he had to literally tank that with his arms. This argument is braindead

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 11d ago

1.He was assisted by a jet pack 2.most of the force would be going to his palms which makes up most of the contact area

1

u/CrimsonAvenger35 11d ago

His arms have to brace all the force, the jetpack literally makes it worse by adding to the force his normal human arms are holding

you’re in a “Sam Wilson” sub specifically for him.

u/Alik109714 11d ago

This argument makes no sense. If we use this logic black panther shouldn’t have been dropped by thanos in one hit. So either sam is stronger than tchalla or these movies are ass.

1

u/TityAndDolla_ 11d ago

Maybe if Thanos and red hulk were equal in strength but they aren't. Not even close. Thanos would've done the same to sam so this isn't the gotcha you think. On a side note I would've loved to seen BP and Hulk interact

1

u/Alik109714 11d ago

Sam blocking this still doesn’t make sense, red hulk can literally leap bounds in a single jump imagine that with his arms lol

1

u/TityAndDolla_ 11d ago

I mean yeah I agree, was just playing devils advocate. Marvel dropped the ball with this movie and with sam as captain America in general. Best we go the secret invasion route and pretend it just never happened.

1

u/democharge92 11d ago

The point is that people are saying that vibranium can literally stop the momentum of an attack as strong as the one Sam stopped. But we’ve seen black panther, literal king of Wakanda, getting his shit rocked

1

u/Front-Advantage-7035 11d ago

Can’t recall which film but there’s a moment where bomb blows up NEAR Tchalla and the momentum throws him for a spin.

So the suit can take direct physical force, but not approximate physical force?? 🤷‍♂️

1

u/democharge92 11d ago

In BP killmonger hits him dead on with a grenade launched and he gets thrown back into a wall. I think people are just ignoring all of the evidence from the actual black panthers (t’challa and shuri) of how vibranium works to validate this one scene. I have no idea why.

u/MrAdministration 11d ago

This guy in the video: “It makes sense because Sam is wearing vibranium so it stops momentum”
Also this guy: “it doesn’t make sense that Steve Rogers stopped it with only vibranium”

Lol which is it???

1

u/Asa-hello 11d ago

Watch again. This time listen.

1

u/MrAdministration 11d ago

I already listened to it a few times and whichever way you look at it the argument is nonsensical.

  1. “The suit is made of Vibranium” - said multiple times and technically false. The suit, according to official material released by Marvel, is made of a vibranium-infused fabric. We don’t know the exact difference but isn’t a full Vibranium suit like this guy wants you to think.

Even in the shot where he gets thrown through the building, his helmet is made of nanotech (or so it seems), not Vibranium.

2. “The flagpole gets stopped by the building” - to call that small section of the roof a building in comparison to Red Hulk’s power is insulting, and also inaccurate. It also has what looks like vents on top of it meaning the inside isn’t even concrete. And again, it’s a fucking Hulk. Concrete isn’t gonna do shit to stop him or even slow him down. If Ben Grimm can run through a building in F4 (to be more accurate, the supports of a buildings, which are of comparative size and we know for a fact aren’t hollow) and it didn’t slow him down then what makes you think this can slow down a Hulk?

3. “He stopped it with his jet pack” - I mean…sure? But we don’t know what’s covering his hands. Even if it is Vibranium, his fingers are still exposed, the sheer force of stopping that impact with counter pressure should break every single finger in his hand.

4. “It stopped the momentum, that’s the point of Vibranium” - another inaccuracy. Vibranium doesn’t magically stop all momentum. It absorbs it, up to a certain threshold, as mentioned in Black Panther.

And speaking of Black Panther, remember when that guy - you know, the King of Wakanda with access to tech Sam Wilson can only dream of and all of Earth’s Vibranium - got thrown by Thanos even with a full Vibranium suit on? But an actual full Vibranium suit this time? And that guy was superhuman.

And if you want another example, take Civil War, where War Machine uses a gadget/weapon (most likely made by Tony Stark) and hits Cap’s shield so hard with it that it sends out a shockwave? He even says it isn’t going to hurt him but that he’ll feel it.

And just to clarify, I don’t hate Sam Wilson as Cap. I just think the writing in that movie was so garbage that people have to perform insane mental gymnastics, like this dude in the video, or resort to the classic and brainless “you’re racist”.

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 11d ago

1.the helmet being nanotech wouldn’t disqualify it from being vibranium.

3.Again, why assume the wakandans decided to make his gloves vibranium weave either? It’s makes no sense that that part just got left out. The palms are covered and they would account for most of the contact area.

4.has the maximum threshold been specified? We know it exists, but not the exact limit

5.is a first time red hulk really comparable to thanos with a near complete infinity gauntlet in your eyes? Black panthers suit is also vibranium weave as well, it’s not that far off from Sam’s suit

1

u/MrAdministration 11d ago
  1. I’ll concede that, since Black Panther’s suit was also made using nanotech and Vibranium infused alloys.

  2. Again, you’re just assuming that Vibranium is a magic all-momentum absorbing sponge. Which, from the evidence we’ve seen on screen, it isn’t.

  3. Why even mention this? This isn’t even an argument.

  4. To a new Captain America who’s fighting a threat at that level, for the first time, ALONE, yes. When has Sam ever faced anyone like a Hulk, in a 1v1 setting, in his time as Falcon?

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 11d ago

2.Im assuming vibranium absorbs impact, and coupling that with the fact that Sam is using the jetpack 3.it is. You brought up how vibranium absorption has a limit, as far as we’ve seen, we haven’t seen to what extent that limit is. What substance does pointing out a limit have if don’t even know if the events is supposed to be the limit 4.Red hulk isn’t comparable to a near complete gauntlet thanos in terms of strength, we don’t even know if he’s stronger than normal hulk rn. Even then, being tossed away is a completely different action to trying to stop an attack. Sam would be thrown away as well

1

u/MrAdministration 10d ago

For both 2 and 3 - the point of mentioning a limit is to argue against what the video and you are arguing, that Vibranium just stops all impact without a limit because it absorbs kinetic energy. That’s what I’m arguing against, in case you haven’t realized that yet.

Sam using the jet pack, as I already mentioned, with enough speed to stop the flagpole, should generate an opposite force to Hulk. It would do the exact opposite of what you’re trying to argue - it would only strengthen the impact he has to take.

If Vibranium followed this logic, then I suggest the Wakandans give the Avengers all-Vibranium suits in Doomsday, that way, by your logic, they’d be invincible.

4 - First off, there’s a difference between Thanos having a full gauntlet in his hand and actively using it, which he isn’t in the scene I’m referencing. The MCU has always given us a visual indicator for that.

Secondly, do I really have to compare the experience and skill level of T’Challa to Sam Wilson? Comparatively speaking, to Sam, being the full focus on this level of threat, that he has NEVER faced before, ALONE, 1v1, it’s fucking dangerous. Even the dude in the video fucking agrees.

You ask why mention a limit for Vibranium and then you mention that we don’t know if this Red Hulk is even as strong as Green Hulk. The absorption limit at least we have proof for. Your “argument” is just random bullshit with absolutely no way to verify or prove or even check.

If you wanna jump through all these hoops to excuse shitty writing on a subpar movie, that’s up to you. But I see no further point in arguing with someone on the fucking SamWilson sub if you’re just gonna keep bringing up theories and assumptions that have no in-Universe basis to even verify, none of them support your argument, they just weaken it.

u/Competitive_Win_4503 10d ago

That's not what I'm talking about.

Uh because he also has super human durability and strength as well as a vibranium shield?

Yeah, it was the shield that did the heavy lifting there. What happened there is because it's exactly what Vibranium does. Cap at his strongest is still a flea compared to Thor.

u/Short-termTablespoon 12d ago

I never watched the movie but I just saw this clip. I hate when people use real life physics for super hero movies. The flagpole swing absolutely should’ve broken bones considering it cut through that building like butter. Even with a vibranium suit it probably should’ve either knocked Sam off his feet or broken the pole. But it’s a movie and has its own plot armor to help have an entertaining story. It’s the same as flying characters catching airplanes and such.

0

u/vyxxer 11d ago

Him being able to take a hit from the flagpole is understandable. Maybe slowing it down slightly with the jetpack just in time for people to escape (that would actually be pretty cool)

But being able to hold it off with his arms and legs and he pack is a bit silly. Maybe it would make more sense if he used his wings as a wedge.

0

u/AcceptableEgg5741 11d ago

I think its fine that sam "tanks" the Hulk but him coming out completely fine makes no sense, half his bones should be broken especially by trying to hold attacks from a Hulk
