hello everyone. looking at the calculations of the achievements of the avatar characters, I had a slight indignation about the results obtained in the calculations. and I have no complaints about those who approved of them, and they evaluated what they were given. I have a question for those who did the calculations themselves-are you aware that there are other data that also need to be checked, and which directly affect a particular achievement?
let's start:
Point 1:Iroh breaks the outer wall of ba sing se.
Well, first of all, it's worth clarifying one detail. the outer wall is not 100 meters high, but 180 (the authors indicated it as 600-foot), but this does not apply to the essence of the matter. This includes the fact that this is not an external wall, but an internal one that separates the middle and upper rings (or maybe some other wall, but it doesn't really matter), and its height and thickness are MUCH smaller than those of the outer wall. For example, we can look at the gathering of troops at the wall
, we see this wall at full height and people on it.
We see tanks approaching the gate,
and we see the gate itself.
We can see the gate in this frame
and in this one to clearly calculate its dimensions. I'm not a big fan of counting by pixels, but even so, I couldn't reach a wall height of more than 30 meters. Accordingly, the volume of the destroyed piece should be lowered at least 9 times, that is, not a city block or a multi-city block, but a large building. using the initially incorrect parameter was confusing, leading all calculations in the wrong direction.
Point 2: Bumi moves the statue.
undoubtedly, the achievement is impressive, but it is unclear to me that why use such crutches in calculations, like people who are not even visible due to poor quality. It was assumed that the person was half the height, so about a meter. Or maybe you can only see the head there? Or maybe it's a dwarf? why use such an unreliable parameter? why is it impossible to calculate the size of the statue from the size of the wall that we see here
, here
and here
? here we can see people in full growth, and walls. you can add an intermediate parameter in the form of a gate, which will reduce the error. or you can, for example, make calculations through the base of the statue
, next to which we see the warriors of firenation. The total height of the statue is about 5-6 times the height of its base. These are as many as 3 calculation examples, which are much more consistent than simple guessing. I used to estimate it at 25-28 meters, but taking into account all the data, I am ready to raise it to 40
Point 3: Bolin breaks the runway.
The achievement was calculated using Bolin's height, which was assumed to be 170 centimeters. I have no complaints about this (although it is slightly higher, but it doesn't matter). and what about the 10-meter robots that rode behind him? here, for example, is a two-meter-high bumi against the background of one of these.
He is 5 times smaller. and what about this shot of airplanes that have a wingspan twice as large as the height of tanks?
What about the hangar where these planes and tanks are?
for example, Bolin riding on a naga
(it should be about 2.5-3 meters high) against the background of the opening, we can see how small it is. We can see how big this room is. even the smaller building was very spacious
, and the grid, where the three of them were not crowded at all, occupies a very small part of the room. and some of the stones that Bolin lifted could easily compete with a large hangar in height, I'm not talking about a small building at all. and we can see that this huge hangar is not much more wide than the runways, if at all more. The estimated width of the lanes is 90-100 meters, and the length is about 400 meters. taking into account the height, this achievement of the bolin should be estimated MUCH higher. Bolin was artificially made more distinguishable to make it clear where it is located, but this does not reflect the actual size of the runways that it destroyed.
Point 4: Freezing the kuvira robot.
the thing is interesting, because the estimate came from Korra's statement that he was as tall as a 25-storey building (actually 20, but it doesn't matter). However, nowhere does it say that the world of avatar uses the same floor metric as ours, or that it is somehow standardized. however... What about the airships frames?
or this shot where the colossus appears in front of the army
? or a shot with the eye of the colossus and korra next to it
? Here, according to rough estimates, the eye extends 10 meters. In general, the size of the colossus is quite contradictory and ranges from 100 to 600 meters, but the two most common variants were 100 and 400. the first one was in the episode "day of the colossus", the second one was in all the others. and although mathematically there were more moments where he was 100 meters away, although not much, and some of them could be explained by the requirement to distinguish the characters against the background of such a huge car, but something else speaks in favor of 400 meters. dimensions of buildings.
