The Avengers' nuclear bomb isn't so accurate.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Avengers' nuclear bomb explosion earns a 1/10 rating for realism from nuclear weapons expert Greg Spriggs. While the MCU has maintained a certain level of realism, it still requires a high suspension of disbelief from audiences due to the franchise's larger-than-life characters and stories.
In an episode of Insider's How Real Is It? YouTube series, physicist Greg Spriggs breaks down nuclear bomb scenes from seven different movies, including The Avengers. Spriggs explains that a nuclear bomb would vaporize almost instantly and without a shockwave if detonated in outer space due to the absence of a medium where the energy could travel.
The Avengers' Nuke Mistake Makes Sense For The Audience Although it would have been more accurate for The Avengers' nuclear bomb to detonate without a visible explosion, Iron Man's feat of bravery wouldn't have seemed so satisfying without it. The idea of a nuclear bomb detonation being synonymous with a huge, fiery explosion is embedded in the audience's collective mind.
Phase 1 was key in building what the Marvel Cinematic Universe is today, not only because of its narrative cohesion but also because it established the tone and scope of the franchise. Blending realistic and unrealistic takes on the source material later allowed Marvel to introduce bolder sci-fi aspects like magic, nanotech, and time travel. Now, looking back, a scientifically inaccurate nuclear explosion in outer space is even less of an obstacle for The Avengers.
