00:00Why does Captain America's shield seem to fly on its own?
00:03A lot of people think it's because the captain uses some kind of magnetic device,
00:06but that only happened in Avengers, Age of Ultron.
00:08The truth is, in the beginning, the shield didn't even return to his arm.
00:12In Captain America, the first Avenger, when Steve throws his shield in that scene,
00:15it gets stuck in the wall.
00:17But over time, Steve became so skilled that he started calculating the angle and force
00:20to make sure the shield would return to his hand.
00:22It's pure skill, in addition to the fact that the shield isn't just for defense,
00:26it also works as a moving target.
00:27Notice that villains always aim at it.
00:29Never at Steve's feet, and that's because of the shield's design.
00:32The circle with the star in the center naturally draws the eye and makes any enemy shoot right at it.
00:35The only one who aimed at the captain's legs was Spider-Man himself.
