In The Boys Season 5, the writers at least attempted to make the scene feel logical by using an unbreakable object to stop Oh Father’s destructive sonic ability. But in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Black Bolt a character whose comic accurate whisper can destroy mountains, somehow loses to what basically looks like a thin layer of skin created by Scarlet Witch. Yes, the movie implies reality warping and that his mouth no longer physically existed, but visually it still feels hilarious to many fans. Especially considering how insanely overpowered Black Bolt is supposed to be in Marvel comics. The scene works as horror imagery, but in terms of power scaling, a lot of viewers still think Marvel massively nerfed him for shock value. #theboys #blackbolt #doctorstrange2 #multiverseofmadness #marvel #mcu #homelander #ComicAccurate #marvelcomics #superhero #moviedetails #powerscaling

It's his own skin which is likely altered by his mutation to resist the effects of his voice
In both cases the skin of your cheeks would rip well before your skull
A better thing to point out is how mm held onto that gag
It's not just a layer a skin but a phenomenon that removes the concept of a mouth from black bolt so his voice is more likely traveling from his voice box straight up to his brain, which, mutation or not, is a giant lump of tissue
Let's not forget the wanda uses chaos ( magic) key word!
Bullets can tear through many things as well but if you plug the barrel of the gun with something it will explode just like this. Same concept.
Black Bolt wears the tuning fork on his head specifically to turn his power into increased strength...
he is bulletproof, but the force from his shout is so great, that MM can hold it back with his hands, and it can pink mist his entire bulletproof skull?
I do feel like people misunderstood the whole blackbolt death that wasn’t just skin. Scarlet witch fully removed his mouth up to a certain point. Meaning there was likely several layers of muscle and possibly bone over the gap. Bones and muscle that do to his own biology were built to stop/direct his power.
His death was so quick that even though I know I watched the show I barely remember it. Wish him and Homelander interacted after he lost power
that mouth layer has magic layer too. plus his own mouth would be immune to his own weapon, otherwise he would be blowing off his lips everytime he use his power.
Bro his mouth is completely gone, not jus a thin layer of skin😂 like gone
Exactly, if it can break back of your head then it should be able to break front of your mouth as well....less gory
I like how JUST the exterior of black bolts skin is durable enough to withstand his own power. and not his bones or organs.
They did Blackbolt and Johnny dirty bro.
Black bolts skin is strong enough to not break while he uses his powers lol. It makes sense as to why he died from his mouth being taken away.
but if it wasnt strapped[ball gag].shouldnt MMs hands have rip clean out
They did blackbolt dirty.
When you realise whenever there was killing Hughie's face got covered with blood
I mean to have a humanoid form like the average person and you can whisper and destroy cities or planets, your skin would have to be about as strong as adamantine for such a body to survive, kinda like how spiderman is logically bulletproof but we're not ready for that convo
