Talk:Cartoon physics

this duplicates Cartoon laws of physics - I will merge them (I think into this title, which is better) if nobody objects. - DavidWBrooks 02:49, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

More than a list
I have rearranged this article to move the history/sociology up, and the examples down. There's always a danger it could turn into a list of funny things that we've seen in cartoons! - DavidWBrooks 16:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I don't get the most recent addition to the anime physics ... what have missiles and airplanes to do with the amount of blood in a human body? - DavidWBrooks 23:28, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Why I removed item
This article is about aspects of animation that defy real-world physics in consistent (and usually entertaining) ways. It's not a list of every convention of cartoons - e.g. that anmials talk and women have impossible large breasts. So this "Mecha in many series tend to be superior combatants to more traditional combat vehicles ... " was removed because it's got nothing to do with physics! Maybe we could create a different article for it - e.g. anime conventions or something. - DavidWBrooks 15:12, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, it has a great deal to do with physics. Without anime physics, mecha would be pretty well useless combat machines, so their effectiveness in combat is an example of anime physics in action. Iceberg3k 20:23, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- But how is it an example of a consistent physical law that differs from the "real world"? - DavidWBrooks 21:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
lists
I removed the stormtrooper effect link from the anime list, since that is not specific to anime - or even to animation. I also removed the face fault item, since that is behavioral not physics. - DavidWBrooks 21:17, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Counterpoint
Just thought I'd put in a counterpoint to the Anime law about fight attacks not destroying peoples' pants. There's been several examples of what I mentioned (a later point in Megaman Legends, for instance). All these explosions have been indirectly witnessed, and the female caracter only observed from behind or with strategically placed debris etc, of course. ;) --Yar Kramer 19:24, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
