lynnenneHello, and welcome to your weekly Sunday discussion post! This week's topic is about space travel in the MCU.
We see a lot of ships travelling really fast in the MCU cosmos, from the Benatar to the Kree ships in Captain Marvel. In other franchises (most notably Star Trek, but also Battlestar Galactica) the mechanics of these ships are explained in some detail. Every ST fan knows that warp drive is critical to faster-than-light travel. But such mechanics play a pretty small role in the MCU; as far as I can remember, it's never really explained how these ships can travel from one planet to another in a matter of hours.
Now, it's possible that it was explained at some point, and I just missed it or forgot. What's your interpretation? Do you understand how ships travel between star systems in the MCU? Do you have any comics knowledge or head canon that might explain it? Or is your opinion more along the lines of, "WHO CARES, IT'S A PEGASUS!"
