That scan doesn't show a non arguable path of the shield. The scan is bogus. It isn't even clear what order cap has moved, or the shield.
That's not the way things work in comics because characters move faster when they're leaping/flipping, that's why the Hulk can jump and Spiderman bounces around foes at far faster speeds than either are capable of running.
True. I'm just saying SM is clearly faster than CA.
So you're some kind of expert on rockets? So what is the average starting speed of a rocket "like that"?
0 mph. This is because the rocket is at rest. But I was fibbing a little. I probably can't do that feat due to lack of speed, reflexes, and jumping ability I possess. The feat was indeed impressive. CA did need good speed and reflexes to do that feat but it is not as impressive as if it was a bullet.
Do you agree?
He was referring to REALLY classic Quicksilver, so it's not as bad a comparison as it seems. And I don't think that he's anywhere near even classic Quicksilver's travel speed, but it could be argued that the speed they typically hit in combat is comparable. Not equal mind you, but somewhere in the same ballpark(since Cap's tagged AND dodged Quicksilver in the past).
So how fast do you think CA can leap out of the way in mph. Give me a rough guess based off what you've seen.
Because the bullets were coming from behind him while he was focused on dodging fire from the front so he couldn't have known when they were going to fire.
I don't see that from the scan. The scan starts with already dodging from the very beginning. How do we know he didn't start moving evasively before the shots? Or moving evasively after the first shots missed? If one moves evasively, avoiding the aim, then naturally they will dodge both front and back fire. Look at the movie Equilibrium.
That spear was inches away while Cap was still breaking free, I think it's safe to say he could do it to a bullet if the distance was greater(since we know he'll see it in flight).
Prehaps. But how many times faster is a bullet than a flying spear. That many times is how far the bullet has to be away. Note: I'm not quite arguing that CA can avoid a bullet in midflight. I'm arguing that he can't do it like Spiderman was shown to. CA more or less leans out of the way where Spidey moves whole body around the bullet, passed the bullet, etc. This is the difference I'm pointing out.
Tell you what, go ahead and stand up where you are. Done? Ok now swing your torso to one side as fast as you possibly can. Done now? Ok now I doubt that you have anyone around that happens to have a radar gun handy but I can almost guarantee that if you really did it as fast as possible, you just moved a large portion of your body at a faster speed than you can run on foot.
I agree. Again I wasn't quite arguing that CA can dodge a bullet after the fire. I'm just saying that he hasn't done it the way Spidey does it. CA more or less leans (which is still awesome). I'm just saying that Spidey is at least twice as fast as cap which is more than enough for the advantage in that area.
Also if both can see each other in super slow motion (like statues) then even if Spidey didn't have spider sense he shouldn't be able to get hit. How can one get hit by a punch that doesn't seem like it's moving? So this fight is at least a stalemate for SM. Do you agree?
