Science Fact or Cinematic Fiction?
Thesis: In The
Avengers, Zoolander, and Ben 10, the jumps do not respond correctly to the Law
of Acceleration
The Avengers:
When Captain America jumps at from a tree to stop Thor and Iron Man’s skirmish,
he does this without any weight gain for the push off of the tree, and then
lands too lightly for someone gravity should affect. When Thor jumps to attack Captain America
right afterwards, Thor does not have a correct parabola, and gravity also does
not act upon him as the Law of Acceleration says it should.
Worth mentioning: About 35 minutes
left, Thor lands from hundreds of feet up, but the ground doesn’t even crack
Zoolander: When
Derek Zoolander is being brainwashed as a sleeper agent to murder a Prime
Minister at a fashion show, he jumps over the dummy Prime Minister during
training. His air flip here seems
accurate/plausible, but when the scene cuts to Derek landing, it is too light.
Ben 10: When Ben
is an orange alien, he jumps away from his sister unresponsive to the Law of
Acceleration.
