Was that explosion anywhere near as large as the one shown in the DCAU? Because that thing was at least three times the size of the initial island after the burst. Said explosion also obliterated the Volcano, either way Superman and Doomsday should get a huge upgrade.
Okay, so you agree on the fact that the calc isn't about the island being fragmented as you originally stated.
Neither of these have been shown or thought to have been as large lava-wise. There's no comparison between how much lava was pushed out of Krakatoa and that DCAU volcano.
Yeah. In fact Krakatoa was much large and caused a global drop in temperatures. Both links I provided gave the stats of the volcanos and what the effects of their eruptions were. All of which utterly dwarf what the DCAU volcano did.
But he didn't tank a volcanic eruption the size of the island. Just the volcano itself. The rest of the island was buried under a tidal wave and only the volcano proper exploded. Your calc uses the entire length of the island to get a number when that's not what happens and isn't supported by the episode itself.
But it shows the thermal and kinetic energy from the explosion.
Even with the scans you provided on the before and after the Volcano exploded, that eruption.. completely dwarfs the entire island. It's at least three times its size.
I went over this with you before.
The calc assumes the Volcanic explosion covered the entire island. You can see that in the math where it assumes the 801 pixel figure is the island's length of 45 kilometers.
@KLOL506
So instead of the entire island being yeeted it would just be the volcano then? Makes sense I suppose.
Thank you for the replies.
I do not recall conceding, I just asked you how Doomsday should scale. The volcano was the bulk of the island, no? Even unsubmerged does that final eruption not dwarf the entirety of it? The calculation doesn't seemed flawed, the only issue is that the majority disagree Doomsday does not scale to its entirety.
The island used to get the size shows that the volcano proper is much smaller than the total island's length.
I looked back at the screenshots, and yeah alright the Volcano doesn't seem to be as big compared to the island as I thought it was.
Don't look at me, volcano volumes are not my thing.
I calculate the pillar of lava that we see at the end, which Doomsday tanks, nothing less, nothing more.
It did, though?
Do you know any volcano eruption feats we can use as an example here? I think the smart thing to do would be compare it with others, see how they did it, and then judge whether or not the calc needs to be re-done. (Which, I don't think it does, the issue here seems to be where Doomsday scales.)
I do not know, no. Sorry.
I've provided multiple examples of large volcanic eruptions and their effects. Krakatoa's explosion destroyed the surrounding island and caused a planetary cooling period and it only needed to be 200 Megatons for that. The calc is using the wrong assumption for the size of the volcano and is assuming Doomsday face tanked a 45 kilometer wide lava rushes full KE.
Recalc it with just the volcano, use a IRL volcano explosion or just calc Superman's Grundy slam.
Since we've decided to treat the eruption like an explosion, we need to find Doomsday's surface area, how far he was from the explosion and use these formulae.
Thank you for the replies.
The result would just need to be adjusted.
On its own? You mean use the average or minimum height for a mountain and give it to the volcano considering there's no other way to measure the island's size.
As in use the docks and buildings in the first shot to try and get an estimate for the size of the island.
That would also work assuming we don't use St. Helens as the basis for violent volcano explosion or something.
Here? I looked at the episode and found no other way to calculate the size of the island than how I did it, minus using the minimum mountain size for the volcano which I didn't think fit.
