Juggernaut

[Pauluz]

If he has to build up momentum to destroy things then why could he break out from the floor and not from the prison truck?

 

[Sasquatch]

The prison truck was comprised of a jellied material much like head-cheese. This substance can repel any form of attack.

The floor was made of cotton candy.

 

[Pauluz]

Did they go to you for advice about headcheese?

Good question. According to my theory, the answer has got to be.....just a second, I have a phone call.

 

[Hobodeluxe]

Just because he was unstoppable when he gained momentum doesn't mean that even at rest he wasn't inherently strong. Strong enough to break out of the floor.

 

[Xactly]

because hes vinnie jones and so has magic powers...

that or gazza was in the room underneath ready to dish out his revenge...

 

[demitri_vampiro]

he has superhuman strength, but when moving he is unstopable.

 

[SilentAU]

well he has super strenght too obviously, i mean look at what he doe to wolverine in jean's house...

 

[Pauluz]

Then why didn't he bust loose in the prison truck?

 

[mkmkmkmkmk]

because he wanted to pee and didnt want to risk wetting himself,thats why he didnt use his strength

 

[Pauluz]

Why does everybody in this thread think they are funny?

Perhaps it's was too narrow a place made of Adamantuim steel and gas substance too keep him docile
And on top of that they wouldn’t feed him or let him go to the toilet either
LOL

Anyway you have too understand that one's need a certain leverage to break out of things.
You have to be a weight lifter to understand that!

by example I have a hard time benching over 600 pound not because I’m not as strong as the others who can but I believe it's because the way I’m built
I’m too tall and my arm is just damn too long!
I usually notice that guys who breaks world record bench have really short arms and very big bulging chest
So their bench travel less distance than a guy with arms almost twice their length

Because he's the Juggernaut, b****!

But all joking aside, Juggernaut is also really really really strong, as Hobo suggested. Plus, concretre is easier to shatter than most metals, and the truck was probably specially-designed to hold him while the floor was not.

 

[Shipwrack]

I agree, he should have been stopped right there (not to mention the whole phasing into a solid mass being either painful and or explosive)... At the risk of fanwanking, I could say that he still had some momentum energy built up, which doesn't disappear all at once. ::

He could have been captured originally by knockout gas that kept him unconscious long enough to "bleed-off" all his momentum, then restrained ultra-tightly to not allow any movement to build up momentum. Again, fanwanking on my part. There were enough plot holes and leaps of faith in the movie that I didn't spend a lot of time worrying about his breaking free. Besides, his breaking free was better for dramatic purposes.

 

[kentshakespeare]

more to the point, how was he able to bust out at all? he wasn't surrounded by concrete - rather, his molecules were interspersed with those of the floor. in other words, he's fused with it, not encased in it. if he's able to break out then that means that kitty's power works differently in the films - rather than passing through solid ojects, she must remain solid and displace their mass around herself and others.

 

[Kotagg]

I was thinking the same thing - it's kind of odd. His legs should have been obliterated and uselesss from that point.

 

[kentshakespeare]

or at the very least, filled with concrete.

 

[TNC9852002]

The floor molecules can't merge with Juggernaut's body. It's part of his mutation that ties into his ability to retain momentum. Otherwise, the floor wouldn't have cracked the way that it did after Kitty left him in.

[Kotagg]

Meh. That's reaching VERY far, TNC.

 

[TNC9852002]

How so? He was still being moved when Kitty phased him through the ground. He's unstoppable up til that moment, so it's not hard to believe that when he was left there, his powers pushed the floor away from his body, leaving visible cracks away from his body on surface the floor. I paid attention to that part of the scene. The writers explained this in a similar way.

I would agree with that....but....When Mags ripped the shackels open he did so extremely effortlessly and they didn't look incredible solid. If they were strong enought to restrain the Juggernaut then Magneto should have has at least a little trouble with them.

 

[villejo]

Magneto didn't have any trouble because they were made of metal, and that's like butter for him.

 

[Nebins]

Why is no one mentioning the fact that Juggernaut isn't a mutant and therefore would not be affected by Leech. He should have been able to run through the wall when Kitty and Leech moved away.

 

[Pauluz]

Juggernaut IS a mutant in the movie.

 

[Secret_Riddle]

well the answer to ur question is that the writers of this movie didnt think that fans like us wud notice plot holes but o well jus suspend ur ability to disbelieve
