It's much harder to break your own show's 4th wall than you think! Thanks for watching. TONS of great comments below, many of which will be in the next Footnotes. Blocking bullets like Deadpool is even more plausible after reading some of these. -- KH

_"Discount Thor on the internet"_

"Where did you get that!??" "Shut up!" I almost spit out my coffee

"Deadpool is so fast and strong, he can slice bullets!" And then he missed every other one while they hit him!

_If you've ever seen _*_Forged in Fire_*_ they shoot bullets at swords created by the contestants and if the sword cuts the bullet , you enter the _*_Bullet Proof Blade Club_*

“I’m going to choose this very real and very sharp actual katana” “Where did we get that” *”shut up”*

"I'm gonna choose this very real, very sharp, actual katana." "where did you get that?" *SHUT UP*

3:30 He finally admitted he's Thor

Can't overlook the intimidation factor. Pretty sure that's half the reason the jedi deflect/reflect instead of dodging.

"Faster than a fruit fly" the super power that everyone wants but no one wants to be known for

-No nerds were hurt in the making of this vid-

You do realize Deadpool raised his weapon at the moment Cable touched his weapon, right?

Actually the 19 millimeters is the length of the case, not the projectile.

“I don’t know why they actually let me have this in here it’s so sharp!” *actually cuts self

Discount Thor on the internet😂😂😂 he finally agreed!

I like how the bandaid bit wasn’t actually a gag 🤕😂

9:16 and thus ends your sharp stuff privelidges lol... you can hear the sword cut the skin

Funny story, in the Comics Deadpool actually explains how he was able to like bullets in half and do half the things he can. Turns out this because of his ability to break the fourth wall. He looks ahead in his own comic so that he can see we're enemies are going to be and how they're going to try and fight him so he can counter them before they actually attack. Pretty cool, right?

The funniest part was the fact that he just ended up getting loaded with bullets anyways. Such a funny movie

Did he actually cut himself? He started wearing a bandaid lmao

Keep in mind in Deadpool 2, Deadpool did get hit by some of the bullets, his healing factor just kept him from dying and healed him in seconds after sustaining the injuries. He's not as worried about getting hurt so it gives him more room to mess up.

"Where did you get that??" "Shut up!" 😂😂

Deadpool and Wonder Woman have to have fruit fly like reflexes. They their new names should be Dead Fly, or Fruit Pool, Wonder Fly, or Fruit Woman. I'd accept that.

1:50 "I'm gonna use this very real and very sharp katana" "Where'd you get that!?" "Shut up" 😂😂

Loved how after the gag about cutting himself on the katana he's wearing a bandage in the next cut 9:30

Kyle The Thunder God of Asgard I'd pay to see that.

How do you write backwards so well?

7:19 DC listened and now we have Joker :D

"i'm gonna use this very real, very sharp katana!" - 'where'd you get that?' "Shut up!"

"Calcy boi" im using that term from now on

Deadpool is supposed to have superhuman reflexes, but you also forgot to take into account him reacting before the shot is fired, moving in reaction to the gun coming into position and starting his slice through the air as he watches the finger pull the trigger. Of course, that means he's mentally calculating the precise moment the gun will fire and where the bullet will be 5 milliseconds after, which isn't any easier, but gives him more time to be in position for the cutting of the bullet.

3:29 "but hey, I'm just some discount Thor on the Internet"

Kyle, you're becoming self-aware. We're in danger.

Deadpool: **whacks carbon** **it turns into a diamond**

“Your bullets, they’re really fast.” -Deadpool

I love the 4th wall breaks of this. Can we make it permanent? 😂

This made me remember a man I had seen named Isao Machii from what I believe was Mythbusters or Stan Lee's superhumans show. He sliced a BB pellet moving over 200mph with a katana while standing 70 feet away. Simple math shows that the pellet was moving just under 300 feet per second. He had about 230 milliseconds to respond. However, it was stated that instead of seeing the tiny white pellet, as it would be nearly impossibly to see, he used the sound of the gun firing and mentally calculated the trajectory of the bullet. While I don't know what it would take to calculate all that, let's plug the difference the reaction to sound would make. As the speed of sound is about 1125 feet per second, at 70 feet it would take 62 milliseconds for the sound to reach him. So, if the information about him using the sound to react is true, then he would have 62 seconds less to respond. So in total, Isao Machii would only have about 168 milliseconds to react to the firing of the gun, process it (and calculate the trajectory), then move the sword into position. While not quite the reaction times Deadpool would need, it is getting close. Here is the link to a clip of Isao Machii cutting the pellet. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h-CYppSLnbjbnp8.html

"So what is your super power again?" "I'm faster than a fruit fly" LOL

4:10 Its been 4 years. When is the collab finally happening?😂😅

i love how excited he sounds about his very real and very sharp actual katana

The reason fruit flies have the fastest reaction time is because their entire nervous system is so tiny. It takes such a shorter amount of time because the chemical messengers literally have less distance to travel. I don't think a human could have this power without some serious physiological changes.

Sadly, only 1 bullet sliced and the rest literally filled his body.

"I'm going to choose this very real, and very sharp *actual* katana." (Distant) "Where did you get that?!" "Shut up. Now..."

Who would win?: 250/5 or "Calcy boi"

9mm isnt 19mm long, it's that long with the casing but the casing doesnt get shot, the length of the bullet can vary based off of what bullet is loaded into the casing

Dollar store Thor: "Its hard, like it is for DC to make a fun superhero movie." Me: "Its sad cuz it's true.." T-T

"I'm going to choose this very real and very sharp Katana!" "Where did you get that?!" "Shut up...." 😂 😂 😂

Props for taking that cut like a boss. I'm tough, but even I still wince and hiss when I get cut like that.

*JOSH SWOLIN*

I just realized he's writing on the fourth wall

9:16 That sound.

"HEH! I honestly do not know why they let me have this in here." "It is pretty sha-" *SLICE* "HAAA-OK!" "Can you umm, can we get something really quick?"

But hey! That's just a science... BECAUSE SCIENCE

Quote on quote: "just a discount thor on the internet ." I've been waiting for something like that for years.

"now we have a very real very sharp Katana" "where did he get that!" "Shut up"

YES! He finally embraced the discount thor joke!

I caught a fruit fly upfront before, does that actually gives me bragging rights?

"But hey I'm a discount thor"

I cannot believe you committed to the pun so much. Instead of breaking the fourth wall you kept building it, reversing deadpool's shtick. You deserve a star, a gold star at that.

What if he's not looking at the bullet? What if he is just predicting the shooter? Professional fighters do this all the time. They predict their opponent, not their feet and hands. That's how Ali could dodge a whole combination sequence of punches.

I just realized for the entirety of this video,you was almost acting like deadpool with several 4th wall breaks XD

Hmm says he’s Thor Calls himself DISCOUNT THOR doesn’t want his hair cut Yep he’s Thor

He looked like Drax at the end. His ability to remain unseen is excellent.

Man, all the walls were broken in this video

So... the reaction time only covers the internal processes of reacting to the incoming bullet. The actual time taken to move the sword from where it is to where it needs to be would be significant on top of the 5ms. Probably needing Flash speed and the inherent problems with acceleration. Deadpool definitely doesnt have that capability, at least he doesnt bother to use it at any other time. More plausible(?) is the idea that he is super effective (or super naturally effective) at reading/predicting what the shooter is about to do and acts simultaneously to meet the bullet in mid air rather than starting to react after its been fired. Now Deadpool is certainly fond of a fourth wall break, and seems to be aware of the fictional nature of the universe he is in, so maybe its this same insight or perception that allows him to judge when a bullet is going to come and from where?

7:53 "it's as pointless as starting a new youtube channel when it makes the least sense business wise" Premonition?.. 😂

He could use Ichigo Kurosakis sword if anybody knows what I'm talking about

"The Vsauce intro is murder on the knees..." - Pain

I just realised you need to write backwards Props man

Watching him use the band aid made my day😅🤣

"The shards of Narsil! Still Sharp..."

"I'm going to use this very real and very sharp actual Katana" "Where did you get that?" "Shut up."

I didn’t know Thor was so smart..

I never thought that Kyle would talk about Fruit fly like abilities

kyle mastered the art of mirrored writing

2:00 do you ever clean that sword? it has smudges on smudges.

Just gonna leave this here to help boost the channels' stats.

7:04 it makes sense, im pretty sure deadpool has the brain of a fruit fly :/

My dude said shut up made me choke lolol.

You have more time to react if you see the trigger being pulled

Would deadpool really be reacting to the bullet leaving the chamber? Or would be be watching Cables arm/hand and the angle of the gun?

I'm more impressed on how he writes backwards so accurately

I like that chicago footwork music he got in the background

wait... what collab with MatPat... am i expecting too much?

*UNEXPECTED KATANA!*

Am I missing something? How is 250ms 44x longer than the 5ms previously mentioned?

We only had to wait a year for him to collaborate with MatPat

I think there has been a miscommunication. When we say we appreciate that you exemplify the cutting edge of science, this isn't what we meant.

7:15 Even if a person have such a reaction time, is it possible to move human muscle and bones that fast?

This entire video felt like a bloopers real😂

"Sometimes you need a good Calcy Boi"

I'm strong as hell.

Kyle, please good sir. We need some Because Science on the newest God of War game. Like theoretically how much strength would Kratos need to push the bridge of Tyr's temple through the lake, to flip it entirely, or to punch out a World Serpent. There are tons of things in that game we would love for you to dissect. :)

He's actually wearing a band-aid after the cut 😂

Awe the sound it made when he sliced his finger 😂😂

Probably the best episode of Because Science. Ever

Reaction time cutting bullets isn't really a factor for Deadpool. His fourth wall breaking means he is watching the bullets come at him in slow motion; "Did we get that in slow mo?" giving him all the time he needs to react and precisely place his katana.

Great video as always. One thing I would like to see would be taking into account probability of where the bullet would be coming from / going to in relation to reaction time. If Deadpool had a good idea of what path the bullet would take based on firing position and the person with the gun's body language was indicating I think it might drastically cut down the required time to react due to his moving actively to meet the bullet midway, as opposed to reacting solely after the bullet was fired

17:12 have “fruit fly like reaction time” killed me lol

hi kyle im 15 and i just wanted to say thank you. you are a massive reason why i love physics and why ive been doing my own research on things. ive been watching way back when because science wasn't its own Chanel. you have brought me some great times with this show and im so glad it exists. so again thank you.
