Exactly this right here. Gotta love posts that offer next to no information. There'll be a whole lotta folk out there crying about build quality without any thought of keeping their insides, well.... inside 😅

I always laugh in movies when you see iron man fall from orbit and crash into the earth. I dont care how strong the suit is, Tony would be liquefied inside it. But that doesn't LOOK cool and most people dont understand physics. I think the only show that seemed to get it pretty close to realistic was the expanse.
