Why Do People STILL Live in Gotham?! | Comic Misconceptions
🕑 Added 2014-10-22 19:16:13 +0000 UTC Crazy and horrific crimes and disasters happen seemingly every single day in Gotham City, so why would anyone choose to live there? From criminals constantly breaking loose and wreaking havoc, to earthquakes and other natural disasters, Gotham seems like the worst place to live imaginable. But what if it actually isn't THAT bad? What if the reason we think people are stupid for saying and living in Gotham is because we only view the city in it's darkest light? We're getting psychological in today's episode and exploring what may be the cause for people staying in Gotham all this time! Q: Is Gotham REALLY that bad of a place to live? Let me know what you think in the comments! Every Wednesday, Comic Misconceptions explores fascinating trivia, crazy stories, and mind-blowing theories about the comic book universe from Marvel, DC, and beyond!

Thanks for the fun topic to get me distracted. Haha :)
ok tht makes sense.

After a long talk with my physics friend, I think we both decided that (much like the comics, since I assumed you are talking about the movies) Magneto actually manipulates the Adamantium on a molecular level. He's been shown and states to be able to do this specifically to Wolverine's Adamantium before in the comics. Probably easier than trying to forcibly move a metal that was named for its unwillingness to bend. Haha
well no i mean if Magneto lifted something that weighs a 1000 tonnes then we could say that it takes 40%-60% of that so 881849.048-1322773.572 PSI to bend Adamantium.

That's a tricky one because there's a difference between how heavy something is vs how malleable it is. Gold is a very malleable metal, but a ton of it would still crush you. I don't know. My friend and I did try to find the physics behind Cap's shield and even found that it's buoyant in water based solely on what we discovered when we broke down the volume and mass of the shield. It was fun, but the problem is there's not really an end game, right? I could list all the numbers that we found out about the shield, but so what? What would be the point we are trying to make, y'know? So we've always had trouble trying to incorporate something like that into videos. Still, I've been getting requests to do an adamantium video for years now, so I guess it's overdue.
Hey do you reckon you can do a Comic Misconceptions on the metals and materials of superheroes? I've also been thinking about a way to figure out how strong adamantium actually is. Heres what I've thought so far- Magneto can bend the adamantium in wolverines body without looking like it causes him any strain at all so all you got to do is find out the weight of the heaviest thing he has ever lifted and take that down by 40%-60% and then you've got a ball park figure of the strength needed to bend adamantium.
