Is Wonder Woman's shield as good as Captain America's shield?

-

One thing I can confidently tell you: both of these shields are tough as hell.

you're a superhero, it doesn't mean you can go into battle without any protection. Even if you have crazy good healing powers that get you back on the battlefield in no time at all, I think you'd agree it's just a fool's errand to not have some sort of armor, or say a shield, as is the preferred method of protection for two well-known superheroes: the DCEU's Wonder Woman and the MCU's Captain America

Even when they get a little wear and tear, they're great pieces. What makes these shields so great is also where their fundamental differences come in. On the DC wiki for Wonder Woman's shield, all that's mentioned is that her shield, like her Bracelets of Submission, is her main source of armor and protection. The wikis fail to specify what the shield is made of, although there is mention that they possess "magical Amazonian powers." I'd be willing to wager that Wonder Woman's shield is infused with a kind of supernatural/godlike power which makes it impervious to weapons or damage in the same was Wonder Woman herself, being born of Zeus and thus of divine genetic makeup, is impervious to weapons or harm and can heal at a greater rate.

Much more is known about Captain America's shield. For starters, it's man-made from vibranium and adamantium, two materials exclusively known in the MCU. Adamantium, if you'll recall, is what is the X-Men Wolverine's skeleton is made of, making him impervious to any kind of bullet or weapon. According to the the Marvel wiki on Captain America's shield, vibranium is the primary metal (ostensibly adamantium gives it an extra-protective element) and it possesses supernatural properties that allow the shield to slice through the air, deflect bullets, and so forth. No wonder it's the weapon Captain America trusts most.

In the end, it would seem that while the respective shields of Wonder Woman and Captain America come from different places (one is divinely made, the other made by man), they both keep their owners well-protected in the heat of battle.

Why is Scarlett Johansson leaving Marvel? Was it her decision or Disney's?

-

Well lets see . . .   Disney is ready to move on and wants Yelena Belova to become the new Black Widow , just like we saw in the comics. And it seems like Johansson is OK with the idea of leaving. Scarlett Johansson and director Cate Shortland recently spoke with  The Gentlewoman . Shortland revealed that Black Widow was possibly Johansson's last film as The Black Widow. The idea of finality for Johansson as this character contributed to the making of the film, according to Shortland : “She really pushed to make something that wasn’t flimsy or superficial. She wanted to make something that meant a lot to young people and to women. And she knew it was possibly her last film as Black Widow – she didn’t want to leave Marvel making a feel-good movie.” Johansson herself added that the experience of doing her own solo film was "exposing": “She’s always been a part of something bigger than herself, and now that’s all gone. Yeah, it was exposing. But it was  time , you know?&quo

(Spoilers for LOKI! )In the MCU, does the TVA have authority over very powerful entities like the Celestials, Dormammu, Odin, etc.?

SPOILER ALERT!!!  The TVA seems to have power over beings in the Sacred Timeline which would include the Celestials and Odin but not Dormammu. If we belIeve the  TVA , the Multiverse used to be at war and to stop this great war the  Time-Keepers  have been undoing the Multiverse and creating one Universe called the  Sacred Timeline. Even if this is true the Multiverse does exist and beings like  Dormammu  live in an alternate dimension and seem to out of the control and dominion of the  TVA . Dormammu Dormammu  exists in and is the absolute ruler of the  Dark   Dimension . The  Dark   Dimension  is not controlled by time and it would seem is not under the control of the  Time-Keepers. Dark Dimension It’s possible that  Dormammu  and the  Dark   Dimension  was part of the Multiverse war and even though he didn’t win,  Dormammu  is not controlled nor effected by the  Time-Keepers . Since the first Sorcerer Supreme discovered the existence of other dimensions it has been their sole purpos

(Spoilers for Loki) How does the Time Variance Authority have multiple sets of Infinity Stones?

-

  Because as evidenced by the Time Authority variants are appearing all the time. We saw the Time Variance Authority processing and sentencing Variants who could destroy the Sacred Timeline and send the universe into a multiverse war again. If a Loki Variant could steal one Tesseract (one infinity stone) then why couldn't other variant beings do the same thing? Evidently other variant beings did try to steal or use an infinity stone and they were captured and their infinity stone was probably taken from them. Even though Loki Variant took the Tesseract, it still exists in the time when Steve Rogers returned the stones. The copy of the Tesseract like other infinity stones I’m sure came to the Time Variance in similar fashion. So it would seem the Time Variance keeps such trinkets as paperweights. I hope that clears up any confusion!
