Scaling Metro Man (Possible Upgrades)

And Megamind strikes you as the kind of guy who should be taken literally all the time.
To quote me:
"(T)he power of the sun is radiated omni-directionally, not all of it hits Earth (only about 300+ Watts). Not to mention the loss of energy from it traveling 93 million miles. Given how the satellite is charged by the Sun, I doubt he was literally referring to the totality of the Sun's energy." - me, yesterday
 
Tighten's Hypersonic calc was accepted, but we haven't been discussing that yet. I'm find with it.

The fish man thing was contentious last thread because of whether or not the lasers were light speed.
Ok, so High 6-C calc and Death Ray calc can be added.

Can we add Tighten's Hypersonic calc too or no?
 
I don't think that meteorite was 10 miles wide if you compare it to that statue
Imo, I think that's just due to the animation budget for the series being practically non-existent (I mean, just look at the thing)
Besides, direct statements about size > how large something seems to be via pixel scaling, if they tell us it's meant to be 10 miles wide, it's 10 miles wide
 
Ok, im kinda only saying this to be a hater but...



What if the 10 mile wide meteor is way smaller because it burned up in the atmosphere and now its way smaller
 
Is there any mention of it getting smaller?
Why would there be? Most meteorites in media don't state they're getting smaller because it doesn't matter, it not only 1. happens to all meteorites unless they're made of something super dense and 2. because most media just say a statement that doesn't change with the size/already infers they calculated with size change in mind (e.g. if it states "It'll wipe out the country" means that regardless of whether it burnt up it'll still do that level of damage)

Why should we assume the meteor is smaller? Plenty of animated shows and movies have inconsistent sizes of objects at a distance. How do we know it's not just an animation error?

It should be noted that the main reason why most meteors burn up in the atmosphere is that most meteors are incredibly tiny, like dust particles or the size of peas. The larger a meteor is, the more of it will survive burning up in the Earth's atmosphere, and any further destruction is simply in the form of it fragmenting into smaller pieces. Given that we only see one meteorite, it's safe to say that whatever mass was taken away from the meteor, it likely wouldn't be significant enough to change its size from that initial 10-mile diameter.

(tbf, I'm not a meteorologist, if anyone wants to correct me, I'd love to know)
