Maybe Durasteel has a higher melting point and they would lop him to pieces with out breaking a sweat. Nerd off.

It's too hard to say because it all depends on the writer. Adamantiums melting point is 1500 degrees centigrade but only for 8 minutes. Then the molecular stability prevents it being altered any further. Durasteel mixed with kevlex has a melting point of 4000 degrees centigrade which is much higher, clearly, but several novelizations have said that durasteel melts in lava, which is LOWER than what regular steel melts at, so it's clearly a mistake

O lord you nerds are bringing up this shit again.

Pretty sure this one of the most popular internet discussions like 5 years ago.. Or do you not remember " Can a light saber cut through Captain Americas shield?"


On the 2 metals


To specifically answer the question: Adamantium CAN cut through vibranium. Adamantium is an order of magnitude more indestructible than vibranium. But there are extenuating circumstances.

Vibranium is an extraterrestrial metal of unknown origin. There are two types of vibranium:

Wakandan vibranium, which absorbs vibration and dispels kinetic energy
Antartic vibranium which disrupts metallic structures, including adamantium and is known by another name: anti-metal
The picture depicts Captain America's shield versus Wolverine's claws. Cap's shield is proto-adamantium and Wolverine's claws are made of only beta admantinium. (Wolverine was initially created with True Adamantium, but after interacting with his healing factor the metal degraded to beta Adamantium.)

Captain America shield is not made only of Wakandan vibranium, despite what the movie might have mentioned. On Marvel Earth #616, his shield is an alloy of proto-adamantium, a unique and never again duplicated mixture of adamantium and vibranium, making it even stronger than pure adamantium and giving it special properties neither metal seems to possess.

In the most recent storylines of the Avengers comics, his shield was broken and repaired by Asgardian smiths who added a bit of uru metal to the mixture, thus making it even more unique with a potential to be enchanted.

Thus in this circumstance, Cap's shield is stronger than Wolverine's claws.

Everything in Star Wars is extraterrestrial. Whats your point? Durasteel is an "extraterrestrial" metal too. Whoopity doo.

Well the no jar-jar sign pretty much confirms that, I'm just saying Maul is alive unless they killed him off in the Son of Dathomir comics. No idea how what kind of lifespan Zabrak are supposed to have, but obviously they wouldn't toss him in this movie when they've already spoiled a Sith with a force claymore or whatever the hell that was.

I hope there is more focus on practical effects than the prequels. I just prefer the models and practical effects so much more.

Abrams has made it abundantly clear that he plans on doing just that. Apparently that little droid rolling on the ball in the teaser trailer was real and not CGI, to give an example.

Yea I heard he mounted all his cameras on hammer drills to get the spinning zoomy shots he's looking for without CGI. You can see the first attempts on the Falcon scene.

Nope. As I said in the Rebels thread, it's not THAT much more ridiculous than Anakin surviving the shock of multiple amputations and 3rd/4th degree burns over his entire body. The force did it!

He got thrown out with the garbage on Naboo and ended up on a trash planet. He spent the next 12 years going more and more insane, and had somehow assembled an arachnoid lower body out of the junk there. His brother, who had been offered to Dooku as a new apprentice to replace Ventress, found him and brought him back to Dathomir where Mother Talzin was able to provide normal prosthetics and restore his sanity. Maul and his brother Opress eventually ended up assisting the Death Watch in taking over Mandalore, but Sidious began to view them as rivals. He showed up on Mandalore, killed Opress, and took Maul captive. He doesn't show up in Clone Wars again, so anything else canon about his future takes place in the Son of Dathomir comic series which I haven't read.

Clone Wars is really worth watching. First season is a little rough, but once it gets going it's really engaging. Lots of little things happen throughout the series that, once you add them up, make it a little less ridiculous for Anakin to turn against the council so abruptly.
