I know, I know, the science rules...its based on a comic book...and magic is just science that hasn't been explained yet...but really... No one has addressed the fact that the Earth is NOT a hollow shell, rather it is filled with super-dense molten rock/elements far denser than the crust. Did the gravitonium really blow all that out into the universe, and left the eggshell basically floating in place, still in orbit? That's a rather large suspension of disbelief. Kinda like Hulk's wardrobe.  |

Kinda like Hulk's wardrobe. In 5x09 Fitz told Simmons that he had been wondering how Earth had gravity and an atmosphere when he first came in with Enoch and that Gravitonium explains it. It *has* been brought up, it's just an easy cop out by the writers. |

Kinda like Hulk's wardrobe. If you want to get to the real problem, if events are correct and Quake rocked the Earth apart with a 12+ earthquake, pieces of the Earth would not go flying apart into space. The larger pieces including the core, (which is completely invulnerable to an earthquake (an earth crust phenomenon) or being shaken apart, since it's molten) would still come together. They may not move apart at all since the Earth was shaken apart, and not blown apart. (Like say, the Death Star.) The gravitational mass of the pieces would keep everything together. The smaller pieces would be quickly pulled back to the mass of the Earth. It's not like they're in orbit like a moon or a satellite. But considering they're bringing people back to life this season, and last season there was a guy who's head started on fire and a hot looking robot that had the disposition of Pol Pot, I'm kinda beyond mere reality with this show. At least they've tried to address the issue. Their explanation might be BS, but hey, if you're willing to accept the Earth has been destroyed, then what's the problem with breaking a law of nature?  |

I assume that Voss was being metaphorical about Daisy creating an earthquake. After all, would any seismometers survive the event to confirm that it was "12.8 on the Richter scale?" Despite nicknames like "Quake" or "Tremors," Daisy's power is to create vibrations, not to move continental plates. Assuming that she caused the destruction, she might have done something that felt like an earthquake, but it would not necessarily be a literal earthquake. Whatever she did could theoretically reach the core of the earth. |
