Brandon Breyer 8-C Revision

[HorrorHistory]

So in the end credits of Brightburn, Brandon destroys an entire office building complex. Looking back at his profile history, I saw that this was originally in the profile but was removed and I don’t know why it was. The same thing can be said for the plane he destroyed (through unknown means) which is also 8-C according here. So shouldn’t his AP be updated to “Large Building level”?

 

[Cropfist]

I agree with this.

That building complex can probably be calculated and will most likely yield something much more impressive than 9-B so I agree that it should be used. The plane feat, however, is vague as in we weren't shown exactly how he destroyed it. He would need to have ripped the entire plane apart to get High 8-C and not just cause it to crash for example since the impact would have the same result of completely destroying it and even 9-B weapons can shoot down a commercial aircraft easily. There's also the fact that these feats take place toward the end of the movie and are much higher than all of his previous showings (If he was High 8-C then his house would have been obliterated when he was flying through it). I agree with something like "9-B, likely High 8-C", or we can give him an EoM Key.

That’s something I was thinking as well.

I always thought he destroyed the plane by flying into it, but what you said could be correct. He could’ve just used his abilities to make it crash, such as his heat vision.

There's also the fact that these feats take place toward the end of the movie and are much higher than all of his previous showings (If he was High 8-C then his house would have been obliterated when he was flying through it). I agree with something like "9-B, likely High 8-C", or we can give him an EoM Key.

I mean, 9 times out of 10 he wasn’t really trying to kill Tori, but more sort of toying with her to freak her out. Same thing applies that he wants to destroy the world, so he starts by destroying the city and other stuff , but I see what you’re saying. But I do think a whole new key would be a bit much, as he’s still the same, just more violent and eager to fulfill his duty.

You can accomplish all of those feats while being 9-B, that's not what shattering a building with your own power even looks like.

He didn't shatter the entire building with a single attack, he destroyed multiple walls/supports as he flew through it which caused it to collapse via it's own weight.

Could be 9-A at the most, but we don't see the level of destruction he causes to the building, we just see it give out and collapse as he flies out of it.

I think this can still be worth calcing

I would like to point out that the movie uses footage of the Sir John Carling Building’s demolition for Brightburn destroying the building. There was 410 kilograms of dynamite used for the demolition, and doing a bit of math (There were 410000 grams of dynamite, and 4184 joules of energy are released per gram of TNT detonated; dynamite is more powerful than TNT) gives us a yield of 0.41 tons of TNT for the total explosive energy. This should be able to net us a “possibly 8-C” rating for Brendon.

It was calced here.

There is no evidence he "collapsed the support pillars", the building feat faced undue scrutiny for the sake of pointless downplay.

And what do you know, a calc got it higher than 9-B, to 9-A. TheRustyOne's comment is just blatant downplay.

He literally said and I quoted above:

Also, unevaluated calculation.

As I said I still think the feat is worth calcing. It's pretty blatant

 

[Yanina92]

Isn't this necro too..? Also the feat could've 9-A too, one could just assume or try to get the walls / pillars thickness.

The total explosive energy would apply if all of those explosives all went off at the exact same time which is clearly not the case just by looking at the footage. You're basically assuming that Brandon instantly destroyed all of the walls/supports of the building and causing all of its sections to collapse at once instead of destroying each of them one after the other like the video shows.

Guys Ik this post is dead but ts is valid it should be approved so I'm summoning the mods here

This thread has been necroed twice, alternative calculation remains unevaluated, and Rusty raised serious questions about the feat. Tugia says staff are being called in, so I'm happy to let staff take their own looks, but I heavily lean towards closing this thread.

ive told one about this thread, sorry for not doing it sooner, ive just been really busy with other stuff

All of the arguments for 8-C have been debunked and the calculation that could potentially get him to 9-A has remained unevaluated for an entire year.

 

[Random-Helper323]

In that case it might be better to close it. Not only would the thread need thread mods and/or admins to look at it, we'd be working with nothing until Calc Group members evaluate the calculation. That being the case, it's probably best that I close this thread, then you and/or other supporters ask Calc Group members to evaluate the calculation and then make a new thread if it gets accepted.
