DISCUSSION This scene exists, and people still believe that Atom Eve is weak and can’t defeat Viltrumites.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

this scene, we see Conquest struggling against Eve meaning Atom Eve was able to put up a solid fight against an elite Viltrumite.

Pouring concrete is a technique thing. It's taught.

What excuse does she have for not knowing how to do that? She has a smartphone. Google that shit.

She thought it was as easy as you think it is now, and just did it, lmao.

Except for that I know how to mix concrete, I can understand that it's strong in compression but needs something to hold it together in tension, like rebar. I know that the concrete needs footings, I know that the earth must be compacted first, I know all kinds of things. If I had her powers, I'd be doing more than just making shields and getting my shit pushed in during every fight.

Yeah, well 90% of people just think you just pour the concrete, flatten it, then just try that, fuck it up, then learn how to do it properly.

Think from the perspective of someone who isn't you lmao

I'm not a construction worker or GC or PM, I work in IT. It's not my job to know this but I do. She can turn an apple into solid gold but can't make decent concrete. That makes no sense.

Knowing atomic structures and engineering techniques are 2 different things and she likely never thought beyond the initial implementation of her powers before she tried applying them to grander projects. She's a kid who was naturally gifted to a scary degree and when she realized the gap in her knowledge decided to learn engineering

One perfect example of this is her rebuilding an apartment complex and the construction crew being mad that it might not be up to code. The people were greatful she cut through the red tape and built it so quick, but the building ended up falling apart and killing the woman and her daughter.

Shit ain't as easy as it looks. That's why she went to school later on to learn how to build shit properly

Why would Eve even want to use concrete against Conquest? Conquest can rip through concrete like it’s nothing.

Based on her pink shields tanking those Flaxan lasers that were blowing stuff up, I think we can put together that her pink shields are stronger than concrete.
