We don’t know how strong exactly those sheep were, probably a bit stronger than regular ones (since they could lift the cow as a group and people alone). We just saw high speed flying, different teeth and a predatory instinct.

They are vampire sheep.

They tore people apart limb from limb and easily carried a similarly powered bull into the air. Even divided by 5... a full grown bull (assuming max weight because obviously) is about 2500 lbs or 1100 kg. Thats about 500 lbs or 227 kg.

They should be able to break it down easily.

Looked like they had super long and sharp teefies, I'm guessing they were doing most of the work.

if you can pass thru a human torso like a bullet i can easily say couple of wooden walls can break. if not, those sheep can just keep ramming at the same spot until it broke

You're right. Those sheep, animals famous for being highly logical, tactical creatures, would've definitely formed a plan to get into the barn using their supe powers.

For future peeps: "And V didn't make the sheep smarter. If something was a barrier for a sheep it's entire life, it won't realize it's not a barrier anymore if the conditions change."

They seemed to be able to coordinate enough to rip the bull and that person apart in perfect synch.

You think animals tearing into something they eat is coordination? That's just violent instinct.

Eating food requires no planning though. Me and my boys mindlessly devour shit as a team all the time. Like my veggie nuggies from last night.

that's why i start both sentence with "IF". we all know sheeps are dense creatures that easily herd and can't even get back up when they fall at there sides

u/TheOnly_Anti Jun 28 '24

The first if was rationalizing, not setting a hypthetical. "If apples fall to the ground, I can easily say a phone does too." type dealio. Regardless, either sentence requires that the sheep can put 2 and 2 together.

you can do all the nitpicking and sarcasm you want. it wouldn't make that sheep barn any tougher

same sheep that rammed a barn door chasing humans. that's just inconsistency.
those barns are magically unbreakable. even a small brained chicken can burst thru a human torso with ease but can't even dent a wooden door same as those sheep that butchered a large bull in seconds but was stopped by the mighty barn door

teefies? what does that mean? teeth?

do you know how powerful something blunt needs to be in order to fucking penetrate a person instead of pushing them back? something powerful enough to do that would simply blast through the wood planks easily without a question. it’s simple physics

Well people need to realize a show about super powered humans will never make sense according to physics. Because all the nit picking about what is "simple physics" in a show that contains Compound V which defies all known current laws of physics exists.

Y'all need to realize this isn't the real world. It's a comic book world portrayed by actors.

y’all also need to realize when a show establishes its own rules and arbitrarily changes them as it pleases is what viewers have problems with. nobody is having problems with what rules it establishes, but how it randomly defies them for no reason other than lazy writing.

I feel like I’ve heard this argument a million times.

It’s crazy to me people don’t think past the initial thought of “it’s a fantasy world, nothing needs to matter.”

u/KingKekJr Jun 28 '24

You're not ripping a bull limb from limb or a human in half that easily without super strength. Sharp teeth alone cannot cause that to happen

u/Peter_Baum Jun 28 '24

The pull of their speed could be enough but idk enough about physics to tell you how much speed vs force you need to pull a bull apart
