Why Marvel Captain America’s Shield Shouldn’t Work Like It Does In The MCU

There are some items in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that’re just iconic and one of them is definitely the Vibranium shield wielded by Captain America. This shield was given to Steve Rogers by Howard Stark, the father of Tony Stark. It’s become a symbol of justice, but it also regularly breaks the laws of science. Today, we’ll talk about some of the most impossible feats accomplished by this object. Sam Wilson is going to have to forget absolutely everything he ever learned about physics if he wants to embrace his new superhero persona.
In The Winter Soldier, we saw it take down the spinning propeller blades of an aircraft and yet be gentle enough to cushion a fall. The Mad Titan Thanos made short work of it in Avengers: Endgame, yet it was able to withstand the strength of Mjolnir in the first Avengers movie. Would the electromagnetic attachment we saw in Age of Ultron really work the way we’ve seen it on the big screen?
What do you think about this incredibly versatile weapon? Is it a bit too convenient to be believable or do you think it’s perfect the way it is? Is there another part of the MCU you find too hard to believe?

Thanos is way larger than Thor and he hits harder because he has bigger muscles. Not to mention, Mjornir wasn't a sharp object, but Thanos' sword was.
Far as summoning, in the comics it’s explained that he’s predicting and calculating the projectile and angle that would allow it to come back. Which is pretty impressive while in combat. Same way with boomerang, you have to know where and how to throw it in order for it to come back to origin

When I first saw Captain America, it was in a snes Avengers video game. When he threw the shield it would come back to him like a boomerang, even if nothing was there. I always thought that was how it operated somehow. I still don't see how you can perfectly time a rounded object that can perfectly bounce off and back to you. But it works I guess. 😆

The bouncing can be explained by elastic collisions, similar concept to the newton's cradle, and the laws of reflections. Supposedly Vibranium's properties help with those concepts.

When Cap fell from the elevator he used his shield as a cushion because it absorbs vibrations. Therefore much of the impact was taken by the shield. Plus if u notice that when Cap jumped he fell for a distance before hitting the glass and then falling again to the ground. The glass would have still hurt, however it created a barrier slowing Caps fall
Love your videos so much KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Video Request: “How does captain america throw his shield?”
For the bullets it probably depends in what caliber the bullets are Also what material they are made of Next time think that through
The way Thanos and Thor attacked caps shield was completely different. Thor hit it dead center with a blunt object so the impact was spread out across the entire shield, while Thanos used a sharp sword and hit the shield on the side of it. So the different weapons affected the shield differently
Steve can control the force of the shield so that it won't kill a human

So u know how u can only scratch diamond with diamond well it’s the same for vibranium like how black panther was able to scratch his shield it’s because his suit is made of vibranium
Cap doesn't summon his shield back like Thor does Mjolnir. When he was injected the super-soldier serum he also gut super-human brain so to speak. Each time he throws it, he always calculates the angle of it bouncing from objects so he always gets it back.

Thor is hitting the shield with an angle when Thanos is directly trying to break it. Also Peggy Carter is a S.H.İ.E.L.D agent and highly trained so she can shoot the middle of the shield when any other person can't. (The middle of the shield is relatively smooth and flat when the sides are not.)
The Shield is still pretty strong even if the laws of physics doesn't allow it to be.
I think I've a logical answer to explain why Captain America's shield returns back to him. Just like we throw rubber ball at a wall and it bounces back to us, Captain America's shield also bounces back to its thrower after hitting the target.
Moving propellers are easy to break. Especially turbines, like birds damage plane engines a lot.
Simple Explanation: Since Cap used the same shield all throughout the entire MCU, it got worn down every movie. Just because vibranium is super strong doesn't mean it's 100% indestructible. Since Endgame is obviously the last movie the shield is in, that means it was completely worn out, and Thanos, being as strong as he is, was able to deliver the final blows to finally destroy it.
But can it bend a Thanos Blade? Edit: *no it cant*
"it could get embedded into someone it's thrown into
Considering Thanos' sword was sharp, it's not surprising that I cut through the shield for two reasons, it only blocked Mjolnir because of vibranium's repulsive properties and the blade was sharp but Mjolnir is blunt force and blind force would probably not have an effect on it that much. EDIT: someone can explain this better than me I'm just giving basis for why it happened
i usually like your videos but i must admit this one really disappoint cause pretty much every ways in which cap's shield bends the law of physics does have damn good explanation in the movies
In marvel vibramium is the strongest metal on 'earth'.Thanos comes from galaxies that could be made by materials stronger than vibranium.Sorry if i am wrong

I’m not trying to oppose you but Howard Stark did say at in first avenger that vibranium “absorbs” lots of vibration. This is how Cap landed. He flinched but the fall’s vibrations were absorbed by hide shield. Now that nerd time is over, good job on the video!
Maybe the bullets were able to bounce off of Cap’s shield because they were different bullets and different/more powerful guns
it is called vibranium because it absorbs all vibrations which is why he can survive really high falls and hard hit because no vibrations hit him
Thanos broke caps shield because iron man made it for him 🤨
