The Iron Man from Civil War spends the entire movie in a limited, active noncombatant armor, far inferior to his previous or future suits.
And it's reasonable that the AP isn't the only thing affected.
It being a non combat armor doesn't really matter tbh if none of his armors are established as being combat and reaction boosters in fact the official marvel site specifcally notes that only his flight speeds are improved with later armors as far as anything speed related goes so like his combat and reactions isn't improving or declining per armor
 
I did and the Quicksilver calc can be used. The director statments talk about 400 m/s but this is at the beginning of the movie not when he slows down the Avengers. It also explains that he closes to light speed and that his speed increases by the day meaing he could be far faster when slowing the Avengers. Which is why the calc should be used he has increased speed.
You got a scan to back this up?
 
Oh you better bother because if you keep ignoring me we will just close the thread and apply everything cause you simply refuse to read the thread and engage with arguments. And what did I do? Call your argument stupid? Tell you to read the thread? You again proving you haven't read the thread. You do realize we're scaling Quicksilver to Mach 1.8, aka 633.87 m/s, right?
633 m/s is still far below freezing a character who moves 35 m/s i made a fast calc of it and got it if he ran 1 meter while Captain America was still it would be 4000 m/s so i doubt 600 m/s is true.

Also i did read the thread which is why i am complaing about quicksilver being used to downgrade insted of any other calc. Also i am doing this while its 1 am so its very late and easy to miss things that were added.
We're not scaling Quicksilver to that calc because that's a perception only feat. He doesn't even move. The bullet loses a lot of speed after breaking through a walkable glass and Pietro doesn't seem to react quick enough to move away from the glass.
Why tho because i looked through the defenition and saw this "A series of movements in similar timeframes makes this combat speed, so this term should only be applied for a single, quick movement" and there is a series of movments as Quicksilver moves his head faster and looks down while reacting.
 
633 m/s is still far below freezing a character who moves 35 m/s
That's an almost 20x speed gap btw and still fits the presentation of the scene which is that the Supersonic guy can blitz the non supersonics, we're still being fair in the ratings and having the the others be 90~100m/s, a 6~7x difference which still at least gets the point across
 
So, to verify, the downgrade is as a result of visual representation of speed and Quicksilver being a speed cap?
 
I tried nitpicking, looking for vulnerabilities to exploit so i can debunk. I could try looking another time but for now, all argument are against me.


Sad to say, i agree with the downgrade.

But that's what they get for falling to give us at least 1/5 of comic book power levels.

Thanks for taking the time to read it, this did originally all start with just making keys to separate some scaling from spider-man but then we snowballed into finding a lot more stuff for like everyone and relooking over all the calcs we used and then ending up like damn🤷‍♂️ its gotta be done

20x is way too low even if it was a human the feat would still be alot higher as i said in my previous comment i got a low end result to 4000 m/s with him only moving 1 meter. This is supported aswell because the 400 m/s statement also says his speed was increasing by day towards light speed.
 
If there weren't nearly as many consistent statements across the board that are directly provided in the films themself coupled sheer number anti-feats themself (which like btw the stuff in the OP isn't even half of everything there is a lot we actually cut out and still could go over) then I'd say maybe you could have a point but none of your arguments have been concrete thus far and the narrative intent and statements provided and what the core of the scene is to depict with WoG considering quicksilver simply as fast as a bullet. All of that outweighs your calc which would be the only thing contradictory here

It doesn’t need to be a 1:1 thing, all we know is that 1. Quicksilver is canonically a Supersonic individual 2. He statues everyone else

We thought about making everyone else Peak Human and Superhuman speed, but we couldn’t just ignore the amount of Subsonic calcs and statements.
Also i did read the thread which is why i am complaing about quicksilver being used to downgrade insted of any other calc. Also i am doing this while its 1 am so its very late and easy to miss things that were added.
It’s not just Quicksilver though, it’s Quicksilver + Makkari + Subsonic calcs and statements + Dozens of anti feats.
Why tho because i looked through the defenition and saw this "A series of movements in similar timeframes makes this combat speed, so this term should only be applied for a single, quick movement" and there is a series of movments as Quicksilver moves his head faster and looks down while reacting.
This can’t be serious right? I mean, he saw the bullet coming, didn’t do anything and failed to get out of the way. Let’s say we use the feat, calculated properly (Hypersonic-ish). What changes? Absolutely nothing.
 
I went to look at the scene I vaguely remembered but Spiderman never webs onto CM. Instead though, and I'm sure it's just inconsistent across the feats, but during the End Game fight even Thanos didn't react to lightning when CA fires from the ground. The lightning jumps to his hand before he's thrown up a block. I honestly don't know if this is just Thanos tired or CA got way faster lightning. So I can see the Hela calc being more easier to scrutinize.

On the other hand, Electro's electricity calc is using just the mach 1 speed for the low end. And since we're big on speed being demonstrated as a special thing like QS or Makkari, this scene is the definition of higher speed being demonstrated to convey to the viewer what's happening is incredibly fast no? How else do we explain Spiderman's webs reaching several meters before the electricity lands? An outlier is arguable but like others have probably mentioned, there's many higher level speed feats just as there are antifeats. There should be some middle ground than an outright disqualifying of higher end feats. Not sure what is best but I figured I should point it out unless others have already.

Objectively untrue lol, like actually this isn't even anything to deliberate on, we can drop another 25~50+ feats or anti-feats if need be
but during the End Game fight even Thanos didn't react to lightning when CA fires from the ground. The lightning jumps to his hand before he's thrown up a block. I honestly don't know if this is just Thanos tired or CA got way faster lightning.
In the same scene Thanos gets blitzed by cloud to ground lightning - Low level clouds usually sit at an altitude of 6500 feet or 1981.2m so in the time it takes him to raise his arm in like a 1~1.5m arc so legit likey just subsonic~subsonic+

otherwise TASM isn't being downgraded those feats already exist in his own film universe and will still scale to him, it doesn't however scale to the main MCU and would be outlierish for them

I mean this with all due respect, but did you just not read the FOX and TASM scaling part?

Look, TASM being MHS+ is fine. Within that verse, bro only has one anti-feat going up against a decent amount of lightning dodging and bullet dodging on a consistent basis. That's not the problem. TASM and FOX Fantastic Four get to keep their speed stonks

It's how the cross-scaling is an outlier for the MCU and Raimiverse, the unusable calcs, and the insane amount of anti-feats

Not true at all

Not saying it's equal, but clearly there's plenty of high end speed feats as you've put 14 in this crt. That should hold merit to the intent that some of the characters are meant to be of higher speed, some are flight feats for sure.

otherwise TASM isn't being downgraded those feats already exist in his own film universe and will still scale to him, it doesn't however scale to the main MCU and would be outlierish for them
Should not it be removed from the op then? I assumed it was being used in the greater MCU scale since its brought up.

I meant his with all due respect, but did you just not read the FOX and TASM scaling part?
Probably forgot, I skimmed through this last night. But I assumed since it was put it was being used in conjunction with the rest of the feats. The op calls it an outlier but its not, it's being excluded in use of the greater MCU scaling right? I did not know the pages were using it in scaling.

Because I didn’t get an answer earlier, are we planning on splitting the keys of the non MCU folks into one for their OG continuities and another for their depictions in the MCU, or are we just letting them be despite the confusion that may bring?

14 high end feats that all have explanations for why they can't be used. That doesn't imply intent

No? The MCU's scaling to the best speed MHS+ speed feat which comes from TASM so it needs to be addressed. Doesn't mean TASM is being downgraded

It IS an outlier. It comes from crossover scaling from JUST NWH, whereas everything else in the MCU is consistently subsonic

A lot of people don't know that TASM Spidey has been carrying the speed of the MCU for feats that ONLY scale to him

We're not splitting keys for Raimi and TASM. We would've brought that up if we were doing so

Your explanations don't change what happened on screen. That is why I say they have merit.

True I did not know.

dawg 14 explaining why they literally can't be used under their current justification proving how they are false our out of context in anything that scales to combat and reactions, did you actually read the CRT? No one is denying they don't have fast long distance flight speed but guess what that doesn't scale to their combat and reactions.
Your explanations don't change what happened on screen. That is why I say they have merit.
It doesn't have any merit though? being a fast flier doesn't automatically mean you scale to your top travel speeds in combat and reactions? What I said in the OP wasn't even like conjecture or anything of the sort just blatant explanations of what happens on screen to show why the current justifications don't work for scaling to combat and reactions so if your whole point is that its what happened on screen then you're agreeing with me
Should not it be removed from the op then? I assumed it was being used in the greater MCU scale since its brought up.
It is being used when it shouldn't we literally have an entire section dedicated to talking about how cross scaling is a no no? Did you even read what was posted?

Probably forgot, I skimmed through this last night.

Please Read the thread before replying, do NOT SKIM and reply to my thread if you didn't even read it​


This shouldn't even be a hot take but my god, everything you're saying is answered in the OP. If you can't be bothered to properly read for 5 minutes then don't comment and waste way more time than you dedicated to reading
 
We're not splitting keys for Raimi and TASM. We would've brought that up if we were doing so
Isn’t that gonna be very confusing for new members tho? Like, how do we reconcile within the profiles how Rami, Amazing, and MCU spidey each have different speeds despite being shown on-screen to be on-par with one another? We can’t just hand-wave that shit, right?

we're treating it the same way we do with comic marvel shit, its not really confusing at all. The proposition is the exact same one we already implore here or more specifically here

That's an insanely flawed way of looking things. By that logic, all calcs mean nothing because even though the feats have had their yields calculated, it "doesn't change what happened on-screen"

This goes against both sides if anything

Not even just that all of the anti-feats and like 95% of the stated values we got are literally provided on screen in the movies so like 🤷‍♂️

Tbh Captain Marvel's Relativistic+ perceptions is pretty suspect, cause it does mean everyone (Including herself) looks immobile to her.

I mean that's how we'd treat a feat like this so yeah? she doesn't react to anything or fight anyone in this feat or her other lower end flight feats soo like yeah its just flight speed and perceptions that can keep up with her flight speed. This isn't a new concept on wiki it was the same thing I was going to end up doing for My Adventures with Superman when Supergirl had a like Sub-Rel reaction feat while everything else sat at MHS at the time before it got proper upgrades
 
Real quick, I decided to double check the AoU Junior Novel (secondary canon) since I remembered it existed and, well...

This also happens to stick closer to the speeds that this revision is advocating for...

(Note that Clint seems to think it's IMPOSSIBLE for him to be moving this fast)

The film itself, guidebooks, WoG, and a secondary canon novel all view Pietro at almost as either approaching the speed of a bullet or faster than a bullet, but not to an insane extent

Again, as Dale has said, our revision does not solely rely on Quicksilver, he's just ONE part of our main argument. But what Pietro does show us is pretty damning

No I meant it's weird for her to get tagged by Subsonic lads when she can move at Relativistic+ speeds and perceive stuff just fine in those speeds, a.k.a. she functionally just has Relativistic+ combat speed.

Top flight speed does not equate to combat speeds?

Just having the perceptions herself doesn't make her general combat speeds as fast as her perceptions so no she doesn't have rel+ combat speeds

flying blindly while not reacting to anything and just watching shit isn't a combat or reaction feat
 
flying blindly while not reacting to anything and just watching shit isn't a combat or reaction feat
She shouldn't have the perception speed if she was "flying blindly," no?
Having such an absurd perception speed gap just makes her Quicksilver x100

I mean sure ya can nitpick my wording but that doesn't really address the point at all so I'll take that as a concession there ig.
Having such an absurd perception gap literally just makes her Quicksilver x100
Not at all, Quicksilver being able to operate all in all speed categories at consistent Supersonic speed is what makes his speed impressive. Her just having high perceptions from flying around a planet not reacting to anything doesn't contradict quicksilver being overall faster than her but it seems you're advocating for its removal? This is like judging the other characters by having better long distance flight speed than quicksilvers max speeds
 
but it seems you're advocating for its removal?
Ye, remove the perception speed, say it's an outlier or something

With it, she can see a MHS+ attack coming from miles away and dodge it just by flying away. It just ends up being faux Rel+ reaction speed.

that's still not really how that works mathematically but if you'd rather that get axed than sure I'll just leave it as top flight speed alone
 
okay its been axed from the speed tier replacement examples

There's several feats that are combat. I'm acknowledging some are flight, I'm not saying they stand to be argued for combat speed.

It doesn't have any merit though? being a fast flier doesn't automatically mean you scale to your top travel speeds in combat and reactions? What I said in the OP wasn't even like conjecture or anything of the sort just blatant explanations of what happens on screen to show why the current justifications don't work for scaling to combat and reactions so if your whole point is that its what happened on screen then you're agreeing with me
Hela blocking the lightning, Spiderman dodging meteors, Scarlet stops an explosion, Hulks jump. All hold merit as they happened. I'm not saying the flight feats are usable for combat, that's a whole different thing that will likely become a big issue with this downgrade.

It is being used when it shouldn't we literally have an entire section dedicated to talking about how cross scaling is a no no? Did you even read what was posted?
You left it in with all the feats so just came off like it was part of those, not its own but clearly its not. I've read the fox and tasm part now so my fault for not reading all of it.

That's an insanely flawed way of looking things. By that logic, all calcs mean nothing because even though the feats have had their yields calculated, it "doesn't change what happened on-screen"
What happened on screen and what's calced are the same thing, the visuals are just explained through math. I think we all agree with that, that's my logic. I'm just saying as it stands, I don't think the arguments in the OP warrant a full downgrade. Not exactly sure what should be done but it seems unhealthy to do a blanket downgrade.

If these characters were consistently operating at Massively Hypersonic+ levels, conventional firearms would be mechanically irrelevant. Pistols and rifles would serve no practical purpose. Being held at gunpoint would carry no tension. Yet the narrative repeatedly frames firearms as dangerous and effective, not symbolic. This establishes an important baseline: ballistic weaponry remains viable in the MCU’s street-to-enhanced tier conflicts. Characters take cover, they avoid line of fire, they strategize around bullets. This indicates that the physical scaling of the verse is grounded enough for firearms to matter. When isolated feats suggest extreme reaction speeds, those moments must be weighed against the broader internal consistency of the setting. In powerscaling, consistent portrayal outweighs isolated high-end interpretations. If dozens of scenes reinforce the relevance of guns, while only a handful are used to argue MHS+ reactions, the more coherent conclusion is that those extreme feats are circumstantial or rely on anticipation rather than raw reaction speed.
For example this doesn't exactly prove much. Yes it demonstrates something more than not, but if it comes a time when there's more higher end feats combat/movement (not flight) will the argument still be the characters take cover a lot and held at gun point scenes signify lower speed? If there's a point where some character's main goal is to move faster to protect another character in a short timeframe will this still hold? This doesn't feel sustainable is all I'm getting at, not that I disagree with the crt's perspective.
