It's right there in the link. Anyways, I've removed them.

Anyways, could we calc Metro Man being faster than the satellite laser? I'm not sure if it was Light Speed based on its power source, but I could still calc how fast it traveled to Earth and compare how much Metro Man moved compared to it.

The issue isn't much the laser as it explodes when it hits the dome. We don't really get a good comparison of Metroman in relation to the beam.

Not really? I mean, sure, maybe I could see it if it exploded from the first frame it hit the dome, but it didn't. That means the laser still has time to move. So, there's absolutely nothing that says it didn't just blast it's way into the dome, and then explode on hitting the ground. You don't even know if the laser hit the tip of the dome and exploded, the whole dome was shining in bright light from top to bottom right before exploding.
What about him flying off-screen while the beam is taking its sweet time blasting its way through the roof of the dome? Just use angsizing to find out how far the beam was when Metro Man moved, find the bare minimum he needs to move to get out of the shot, then angsize again to see how close the beam was after he left the shot.

When he comes back the blast had already engulfed the entire observatory. I'm not sure we can get anything from it.
Actually when it hits the dome you can see the laser distort and widen with a flash. It definently had a reaction when it hit the dome, it didn't just plow through it with no issue.

Right, and I'm suggesting we take how long it took him to move out of the screen. This is blatant movement. We can quantify if we lowball.
After a couple of frames. Again: Not instantly, meaning there's time for motion.
When we see Metro Man talking about how "He never felt more alive" and it cuts to him inside the dome, we can clearly see the top of the dome deform in the shape of the laser. Not the entirety of the thing, just the center of the dome where the laser hits, and the laser is still in motion getting closer to the screen after Metro Man leaves the scene.
Side thing, but technically speaking, the laser was moving is slow motion as well. Couldn't we just scale it to pure reaction speed if we can't get a movement? I'm fairly certain I've seen calculations done in similar vein before.

That was what I was thinking we use for a speed.
If not that then some lowball ik regards to reading a self help book within one frame of a camera.

Well if we want to calc something we do have a timeframe. to go off of. 53.47 - 53.35 = 0.12 seconds from start to finish for Metroman's super speed scene.
Dunno how we can factor that into a calc but its a starting point that's better than just "Supersonic"

Metroman's feat is relatively easy to calc yes?
Average american walks 1.5 to 2 miles a day.(Easy lowball because Americans)
Metroman spent his entire day in 1 frame of the movie. Which is 30fps.
(1600 * 2) / (1 / 30) = 96000m/s

I mean I don't agree that just the amount of walking he did should be used, since he clearly perceived time as slowed down even when he was sitting still, so something like average jogging speed x a day would be better imo

Aightio.
Average jogging speed = 4 to 6mph (We'll say 5)
5mph = 2.2352m/s
If we assume 17 Hours equivalent (The average person is awake for 16 to 18 hours a day), the distance would be:
(61200 * 2.2352) / (1 / 30) = 4103827.2m/s

Also I posted above Metroman was blurred for two frames, not one. So it'd he 2/30 rather than 1/30.

There's no way Metro Man is that level of speed, we can see that light goes really slow from his perspective.

No, it's light.

We don't really have a frame of reference for his actual speed though. Although if you can get scaling for the size of the building you can calculate how long the it would take the beam to cross that distance and get something for his reaction speed after diving the speed difference by 1.52 seconds.
