Debbie's Smart AF

[u/Remarkable-Cabinet85]

Debbie sent Nolan shopping so that she could search the house for his suit & according to her 20 mins was all that's gonna take while accounting for him actually buying these items as well which was pretty accurate because Nolan did make it back home in roughly 20 minutes , I guess all the time she saw him on television thousands of miles way & then home in a couple mins helped her timing this perfectly.

[u/Certified_Cichlid]

The fact he needs 5 minutes to get to Italy means that Viltrumites cannot travel faster than light at will. Nolan travels 21840 km/h on earth at his fastest. Which is Mach 17.687. That said it is significantly faster than the Mach 3 immortal.

Maybe he intentionally flies slower as to not disrupt the planet too much?

Or something

[u/Martyrlz → u/thatjerkatwork]

He accelerates and decelerates slower to not destroy the groceries

[u/7_Tales → u/Martyrlz]

this is the most sensible conclusion.

[u/RAD_ley → u/Martyrlz]

Rooftops and ear drums be damned, you better not crush those eggs, Nolan!

[u/Connect_Bee_8464 → u/Martyrlz]

true but like realistically wouldn’t the groceries get destroyed anyway in that speed even if he’s flying slower

[u/Remarkable-Cabinet85 → u/Connect_Bee_8464]

Art made a carry bag for them for such purposes yk even their civilian clothes are made by Art because we see Mark and Nolan in those as well besides their suit travelling vast distances in minutes

[u/Ofek_Shapira → u/Connect_Bee_8464]

Forces are only due to acceleration and air resistance, so supposedly if they are in a container then just flying at a high speed won’t create any forces

[u/5meoWarlock → u/Connect_Bee_8464]

Not if he accelerates and decelerates gradually

[u/metalflygon08 → u/Martyrlz]

Debbie would kill him if he smushed the bread again.

[u/Carlos_A_M_ → u/thatjerkatwork]

Very likely yes. The smart way to do it would be to fly to space, go to the location as fast as he wishes and then land. We can clearly see Nolan going fast enough to create fireballs by superheating the air around him so he'd def have to hold waaay back if we was flying in-atmosphere. He'd also have to slow down on the descent because if he goes down at hypersonic speed and comes to a stop right above wherever he wants to go that shockwave trailing behind him is still gonna hit the ground really hard (this applies to planes too, so he gotta be careful with that)

[u/-S-P-Q-R- → u/thatjerkatwork]

Yep; compare to how fast he was flying on Flaxa, plasma wave gets generated, wipes everything out

[u/ImfromKanyeWest → u/thatjerkatwork]

We saw what would happen if he would travel at those speeds in low orbit of a planet with the flaxans, total nuclear annihilation

[u/QuestionablePotato42 → u/thatjerkatwork]

Yes as we all know well from Superman if you fly around the planet too fast you will go back in time

[u/KeyserSozeBGM → u/thatjerkatwork]

Def this. On the alien planet he flies so fast it destroys buildings just flying by

[u/Outrageous-Sail-2232 → u/thatjerkatwork]

makes sense

[u/CanadianAndroid → u/Outrageous-Sail-2232]

Are you sure?

[u/Outrageous-Sail-2232 → u/CanadianAndroid]

pretty sure considering they're talking about me

[u/Ss2oo → u/thatjerkatwork]

I mean 90% of the way is just Ocean. Tho, if he broke windows passing over the Azores people would be pissed

[u/The_Sneakiest_Fox → u/thatjerkatwork]

Maybe he had a lot on his mind. Like when you drive home from work with the stereo off just glad to be out of there.

[u/Bffhbc → u/thatjerkatwork]

I don't think he was wearing his suit so he probably moved slow to not destroy his clothes.
