GPVWNC don’t worry Aladdin has secret nuclear launch facility. After movie final he took entire world, and Cobra-Commander cleaning his room after Bin Laden
The fact that this movie ends on a happy ending is hilarious, considering how an entire city was just destroyed, millions of people potentially dead, the entire financial market would crash since London is the second largest global financial centre in the world, global chaos and recession/depression, etc. I know it's just a movie but it wouldn't hurt for some throwaway line somewhere to explain it or SOME acknowledgment at the end of all the dead, but no apparently it's a happy ending
Also didn’t cobra commanders army like seize the capital and the White House, that must mean he has a well sized army so I don’t see how the heroes could have a happy ending
As someone who works in London and live right beside it, I would be very happy to be dusted into oblivion by an orbital strike on my way to work in the morning.
So basically all of Southern England gets destroyed and they don't mention the UK for the rest of the movie. Not even the British ambassadors in the room give two shits (only the French guy and the Indian guy apparently did). Really?
And the GI Joes had operatives in the room and only sprung the trap once London had been destroyed. I'm sure the people of what was formerly London, plus the now-vaporized Queen and Royal Family, would've really appreciated you to act sooner...
I don't think the Queen and Royal family would be there cos I think she would be in far north in a castle in Scotland on her summer holiday or at Windsor Castle out of range. Royal family like Prince Charles mostly live outside London. Maybe Princes William and Harry live in Kensington Palace so they would be the only one vaporized.
Imagine if they didn't think the entire plan through and dropped the warhead from space and it just orbited the Earth with all the world leaders watching.
The rod was essentially an unpowered projectile. It succumbed to gravity. If you were to make the rod orbit the Earth the circular motion would need to be sustained with engines. It doesn't look like there's enough space for that on the satellite. Although it would be cool if there were engines as you could fire at any place on Earth.

A bullet travels @ 343.2m/s. The guy says it travels at 8x the speed of a bullet which is 2745.6m/s. He said its made out of Platinum w/ a bit of tungsten. Lets assume its the size of an SA-2 missile (its probably smaller) which has rough volume of 4,079,358ml with Tungsten density 19.3g/ml that gives us a mass of 78731609g or 78,731.609kg which is fucking ridiculous. Thats just slightly more than an empty space shuttle. Tungsten is a little less dense than platinum so I'll add some points for the shell it's supposedly in and call it an even 80kKg. So the kinetic energy of this rod with 80kKg travelling at 2745.6m/s would be 301.5billion joules or 0.07kt. 7x stronger than the weakest nuclear warhead we can make, and about 215x weaker than the bomb dropped on hiroshima
TheJeran And all that only if the rod delivers all its energy instantaneously on impact (which it will not do). It will be like shooting a very hard bullet against the ground, it will result in a very deep hole where all the energy is delivered deep and almost evenly divided. The people of London might spill their morning tea, not more spectacular than that.
The aspiration with which John Price / Zartan looks to Cobra commander's entrance is hilarious too, like "Wow, in this charismatic leader I can trust completely", "His will be my law".
The expulsion of the rod is something that I just love from the graphic showing how it works to the perfect cut of product combined with the sound cues. Man it is just amazing.
@@fotina45 I did the math. For it to be 14 times more powerful than an average 1 Megaton nuclear bomb, it would need to weigh at the very least 2.531 billion kilograms if it was going at about 6800 m/s. (Which is the 8 times the speed of a 30-06 rifle bullet btw.) That would mean that that rod they dropped weighs more than 25 fully loaded aircraft carriers. I suppose its possible to get something like that into orbit. But to put this into perspective. The Saturn V rocket; (the biggest, most powerful rocket ever built,) has a max payload into low Earth orbit of 140,000 kg. That would mean it would take approximately 18000 fully loaded trips of a Saturn V rocket just to get the rod into orbit. And Each of those launches in 2019 USD would be 1.23 billion. So thats about 22.14 Trillion dollars worth of launches to get that rod into space. Not even taking into account the assembly required. lol
The issue is that project Zeus is a WMD which means you can’t use it without starting a nuclear war (or fooling all of the world leaders into destroying all of their nukes). Jericho can totally be used in a conventional battlefield.

actually he's right. It's a nuclear free explosion. hell, it's not even an explosion. the basically dropped a stone with so much force, the impact makes the ground flipped over.
London is a demonstration. If he can hit London not only does it spread through media like wildfire but it shows other leaders like Russia china etc that "I cn hit London, I can hit france, and I will mess up all your nations as much as I desire" If he hit NK it wouldn't have been much of a demonstration beause of media blackout and the isolation of NK. But take out London, or Beijing or another target and itll show the entire planet. "Im now in command."
I like how in the end of the movie the good guys look victorious, even though a major nation and several million people, and a significant part of the world economy were decimated, and then never mentioned again. That missile looked like it pieced the earths damn crust. Aside from France being hit probably by a crazy tidal wave, the entire planets ecosystem would have been majorly affected by that attack. But yeah, the good guys win...
@@user-DrKritz115 its fiction set in real life, that is the point your smooth brain is not able to comprehend. Fiction set in univer with same laws and stuff needs to follow these laws. The destruction of these cities is more tragic and impactful than the hiroshima and nagasaki and needs to be treated as such. Not the all is well that ends well type of ending this movie had
This is just a guess, but I would think that a good part of Western Europe be very vulnerable to future earthquakes after the crust and mantle beneath them got butt raped by a supersonic tungsten rod
Not to mention that the Joes are down to 5 or 6 people. Meanwhile, Cobra Commander still has an army and possibly lots of sleeping agents in several countries. His biggest loses were the deaths of Firefly and Zartan, as well as Storm Shadow's betrayal. This was mostly just a setback to Cobra.
Ever notice in movies like this, that include scenes where millions of people die horrifically (see Day after tomorrow, San Andreas, 2012 etc.), basically none of the characters ever seem to really care about the incredible loss of life they just witnessed? It's almost like we are being programmed and desensitized to human suffering and death.
Or it’s because movies that make people feel so upset they never want to see it again would take a toll on the bottom line so they need all the box office they can get by not showing that stuff
It is a real weapon in our United States arsenal. Our military refers to it as "the rods of God" Project Zeus..Get it? Like Zeus the greek god throwing lightning bolts!! Epic weapon.
William Signs ever watch Waterworld? where the flare is dropped in the oil and the oil man looks at it and says " oh thank God" right before the ship blows up...I imagine that' old skinny man as north korea
Now that's what I call a true fan. Taking the world hostage only because he wants the intellectual rights of a single Queen's song. Gotta respect the guts of Cobra Commander. Better give it to him, otherwise he's going to ask for the exclusive rights of I Want to Break Free, or worse Bohemian Rhapsody.
Organic Giraffe but the “outer space treaty” only bans weapons of mass destructions by definition that only includes nukes bio weapons and chemical weapons so these are perfectly legal. Other than the whole mass murder and genocide thing
Kataru King scribe the only problem is that you can’t really “drop” a rod from space as much as you have to reduce your speed from orbital velocity to 0 directly over your target to get a similar effect. A more realistic approach would be that the rod is attached to a small rocket which decelerates the rod and detached directly before entering the atmosphere so that the rod would go through the atmosphere at an angle not directly down
@@MrCoolguy425 Nope, as long as you are within the gravity well and ensure that the projectile's angle is good, a KKV can be a nuke replacement OR a super-bunker buster. Hell, a KKV with DU core can take out missile silos with ease without detonating the nuke, the DU's properties simply burn everything necessary before the conditions happen, leaving with (at best) a dirty bomb detonation. Given that some of the Greats of Science Fiction proposed this thing in the '50s and '60s...
Aaron Neumann I wasn’t stating that it is not possible to have a KKV have the equivalent force of a nuclear weapon just that it will definitely not have the same attributes as shown in the movie. Mainly speaking the impact would be at a severe angle to the ground meaning that the “blast” (used roughly) would create a cone effect from the impact site as it is nearly impossible and highly impractical to have the device go directly straight down into the planet.
If they really wanted to give this movie a WTF moment they should have had the missile heading being stopped by somebody in a flying 1950's blue Police Box.
I like how they just casually drop a tungsten rod on the UK where millions instantly die and it’s a giant catastrophic fucking event but like only two people in the room give a shit. As if my suspense for disbelief wasn’t already gone by the beginning of the film this just made me lol
2:00 I'll give them this, they managed to get Cobra Commander right for the most part, with the design of his suit looking more like the one from the original Cartoon, his desire for world domination, and the deep intimidating voice is decent enough, now all he needs to do now is some over-the-top shouting, like, "COBRAAAA!"
It doesn't really work like that. You can't just "drop" a projectile from orbiting satellite to earth. You still need some kind of propulsion in retrograde direction to make the projectile fall to earth.
not really the satelite did give it a push and while in 0g it would keep the same acceleration until the earths gravity would pull the rod in which case it would build up acceleration.
@@charles24852 I know this comment is 2 years old, but I still think it's important to point out that you neither know how gravity works nor what an orbit is. Fadly is completely right.
@@charles24852 In small part you are correct. If you just release the projectile, it will fall to Earth, eventually. But it'll take months, if not years, and you won't be able to accurately predict where it will fall.
This was an actual US military conceptual project called Project Thor. It’s been put on the back burner though for years because it just isn’t practical to have as a weapon. It costs $240,000,000 PER tungsten rod to have armed in space. Too expensive and not worth it (for now)
i did the math on this, estimated it to be like 3x30ft, might be larger, weight of 14500 kg moving at roughly 2500 m/s equates to like 45312500000 joules, which seems like a lot but is about 1/1000th the force that was dropped on hiroshima, plus this assumes 100% kinetic energy going into the ground and not disapating through the atmosphere, also if i were to calculate the actual terminal velocity of this object, and assume that it has an almost perfect drag coeficient I calculated its terminal velocity to be about 1,500 m/s. this is all a guess based on a guessing of the size but it would legot have to be the size of the empire state building to do this
Ryan Renshaw don't worry I am a doctor, just inbox me I will give you an appointment...😂😎 So that you will be able to know a difference between a meme and offence.. regards "A Doctor"
They are not. Quite the contrary, they toned it down. Think about this, for perspective. The Asteroid that caused the Vredefort crater was, at most, 5 miles long. Then, consider that most of that 5 mile long asteroid deteriorated and burned off as it came into the atmosphere, heating up like an inferno, and diving down at supersonic speeds. The crater it left was about 300 kilometers long. That isn't even the meteor that may have killed the dinosaurs. That alleged one is even smaller.
Zellig I still find it hard to believe. Asteroids that leave giant craters are a lot bigger than a tungsten rod (it looked like several meters, but let's say 100mt, sleek so it does not burn up too much in re-entry). With that shape and weight it might plunge straight through London and shatter a few blocks, not flip it on the other side like a pancake. Another thought would be for time. Asteroids have had aeons to accelerate, sling-shooting in and out of this and that orbit. They get to Earth at speeds of many Km/second. An object in high orbit might plunge at several Machs of speed, is that enough to obliterate 500 blocks?
You're absolutely right, and Zellig is talking out of his ass. Look up "Project Thor", which is the real life program that this is based on. They were estimating yields between 8 - 12 tons of TNT per shot, which is roughly comparable to a daisy-cutter or a MOAB. The KT dinosaur killer asteroid on the other hand had an estimated yield of 100 teratons.
Everything I said about the Vredefort crater is true. I was incorrect about nothing. You made yourself look like an ass. Are you even considering the fact that the only example we have to work with here are that it showed the rods leveling at least a few city blocks (they wuold, even Project Thor strikes could hypothetically have the power of a small tactical nuke) and some buildings were on fire? We don't have a lot to work with here one way or another to determine how 'accurate' the depiction was because you get to see a few shots of random destroyed areas that give you not actual assessment of the scale of the attack. Feel free to prove otherwise, or keep talking out of your ass while accusing others of doing the same thing because you want to feel like you're some kind of military-industrial savant on your keyboard. That's marginally entertaining too.
And before you 'herp-a-DUR u said asteroid dumbass' yes, I did, I also specifically stated right before talking about it that what I was saying was to "put it in perspective" and not make a statement claiming that the scenario depicted in the movie was analogous to it - so quit while you're behind. This is normally the part where I would say that this isn't rocket science, but technically, it kind of it. ;)
This looks like a MUCH better GI Joe movie then the first one, much closer to the GI Joe I remember and Cobra Commander is more sinister and evil, like he was in the 80s comic book. I really should watch this from start to finish.
to give the tungsten rod so much gravitational potential energy that has devastative power greater than a nuclear bomb, they have to launch the tungsten rod up to the space first with the energy of a nuclear bomb.
nope. "project thor", what this movie is obviously basing it off of. Telephone poll sized tungsten rod slams into the ground at mach 8, with the force of a small tactical nuke, around 13 kilotons (Fat Man was 21 kilotons, and completely wiped out a large city)
I feel like the entire sequence with nuclear disarmament followed by the doomsday weapon is very much something straight out of a cartoon, in a good way, but the rest of the film feels so disconnected from it that it feels like a completely different movie. I wonder if this sequence was the inspiration for the entire film and they just slapped something together last-minute to get to this scene.

@@mizzoupatriot8814 "Rods of God" only became a nickname after the idea hit science fiction. The real name was Project THOR, first theorized by Jerry Pournelle (Who went on to popularize the idea as a science fiction writer, ironically enough). "As some of you may know, I "invented" Thor a long time ago. I have no idea who decided to call it "Rods from God", but while I was in operations research back in the 1950's I developed the notion of "orbital telephone poles" made of tungsten, to be coupled with the Thoth Missile guidance systems we were developing at Boeing." The actual idea was to have a non-nuclear bunker-buster type weapon with extensive range and accuracy that could be used to neutralize Russia's nuclear launch bunkers and silos. In order to do this without requiring a massive payload, the use of a durable projectile and extremely high velocity was considered. The project never really got off the drawing board though, as it was just so unbelievably expensive.
For campy action movies to sell toys, these movies were pretty fun and showed the villains as actually capable. Destroying the Eiffel tower in the first movie and London in the second.
“So now that we aren’t spending all our money on nukes. We have a new problem, we released so much plutonium into the atmosphere within a months time we will have no ozone layer. Everyone is going to die.”
That is so much damage to be real in real life especially if the only mechanism behind it is to simply drop a rod of metal. For me, it would've been much better if instead of just dropping the rod from space, they would fire the rod like the electromagnetic rail gun. I wonder how much damage it would cause if the rod was fired via rail gun from space in real life... 🤔
Just dropping it from space it will reach terminal velocity the original design for the real life Thor project in the 1950’s the rod was based around the size of a standard telephone pole 27 inch diameter and 36 feet in length. In 2003 the USAF looked at this principle again and designed rods to be just 12 inches in diameter and 20 feet long with the final speed before impact estimated at being Mach 8.8 resulting in 11.5 kilotons of destruction.

(Which is the 8 times the speed of a 30-06 rifle bullet btw.) That would mean that that rod they dropped weighs more than 25 fully loaded aircraft carriers.
I suppose its possible to get something like that into orbit. But to put this into perspective. The Saturn V rocket; (the biggest, most powerful rocket ever built,) has a max payload into low Earth orbit of 140,000 kg. That would mean it would take approximately 18000 fully loaded trips of a Saturn V rocket just to get the rod into orbit.
And Each of those launches in 2019 USD would be 1.23 billion. So thats about 22.14 Trillion dollars worth of launches to get that rod into space. Not even taking into account the assembly required. lol

If he can hit London not only does it spread through media like wildfire but it shows other leaders like Russia china etc that "I cn hit London, I can hit france, and I will mess up all your nations as much as I desire" If he hit NK it wouldn't have been much of a demonstration beause of media blackout and the isolation of NK.

Its a movie in the fiction genre fuckass, dont need to be realistic
@@user-DrKritz115 its fiction set in real life, that is the point your smooth brain is not able to comprehend. Fiction set in univer with same laws and stuff needs to follow these laws. The destruction of these cities is more tragic and impactful than the hiroshima and nagasaki and needs to be treated as such. Not the all is well that ends well type of ending this movie had
This is just a guess, but I would think that a good part of Western Europe be very vulnerable to future earthquakes after the crust and mantle beneath them got butt raped by a supersonic tungsten rod
Not to mention that the Joes are down to 5 or 6 people. Meanwhile, Cobra Commander still has an army and possibly lots of sleeping agents in several countries. His biggest loses were the deaths of Firefly and Zartan, as well as Storm Shadow's betrayal.
This was mostly just a setback to Cobra.
That's the best part!
"We don't turn up the bass"

Ever notice in movies like this, that include scenes where millions of people die horrifically (see Day after tomorrow, San Andreas, 2012 etc.), basically none of the characters ever seem to really care about the incredible loss of life they just witnessed? It's almost like we are being programmed and desensitized to human suffering and death.
Or it’s because movies that make people feel so upset they never want to see it again would take a toll on the bottom line so they need all the box office they can get by not showing that stuff
or because people like me dont really care about the people in the movie, we just wanna see some big booms.

the protocol for dropping such a catastrophic warhead is way too convenient lmao
Organic Giraffe but the “outer space treaty” only bans weapons of mass destructions by definition that only includes nukes bio weapons and chemical weapons so these are perfectly legal.
Other than the whole mass murder and genocide thing
Kataru King scribe the only problem is that you can’t really “drop” a rod from space as much as you have to reduce your speed from orbital velocity to 0 directly over your target to get a similar effect. A more realistic approach would be that the rod is attached to a small rocket which decelerates the rod and detached directly before entering the atmosphere so that the rod would go through the atmosphere at an angle not directly down
@@MrCoolguy425 Nope, as long as you are within the gravity well and ensure that the projectile's angle is good, a KKV can be a nuke replacement OR a super-bunker buster. Hell, a KKV with DU core can take out missile silos with ease without detonating the nuke, the DU's properties simply burn everything necessary before the conditions happen, leaving with (at best) a dirty bomb detonation.
Given that some of the Greats of Science Fiction proposed this thing in the '50s and '60s...
Aaron Neumann I wasn’t stating that it is not possible to have a KKV have the equivalent force of a nuclear weapon just that it will definitely not have the same attributes as shown in the movie. Mainly speaking the impact would be at a severe angle to the ground meaning that the “blast” (used roughly) would create a cone effect from the impact site as it is nearly impossible and highly impractical to have the device go directly straight down into the planet.
Remember they are terrorists, they do not need all the burocracy politics need to drop a weapon.
So the satelitte is orbiting but just "dropping" the rod de-orbits it?

Correct.
Nah, drop it
*Orbitn't it.

Technically a satelite is constantly dropping, so you would drop the warhead - just differently from the satelite.

It doesn't really work like that. You can't just "drop" a projectile from orbiting satellite to earth. You still need some kind of propulsion in retrograde direction to make the projectile fall to earth.
not really the satelite did give it a push and while in 0g it would keep the same acceleration until the earths gravity would pull the rod in which case it would build up acceleration.
@@charles24852 I know this comment is 2 years old, but I still think it's important to point out that you neither know how gravity works nor what an orbit is. Fadly is completely right.
And aim
Yes, we know genius
@@charles24852 In small part you are correct. If you just release the projectile, it will fall to Earth, eventually. But it'll take months, if not years, and you won't be able to accurately predict where it will fall.
The Indian prime minister, his assistants, and the North Korean guy deserve an award for their performance here hahah
This was an actual US military conceptual project called Project Thor. It’s been put on the back burner though for years because it just isn’t practical to have as a weapon. It costs $240,000,000 PER tungsten rod to have armed in space. Too expensive and not worth it (for now)

i did the math on this, estimated it to be like 3x30ft, might be larger, weight of 14500 kg moving at roughly 2500 m/s equates to like 45312500000 joules, which seems like a lot but is about 1/1000th the force that was dropped on hiroshima, plus this assumes 100% kinetic energy going into the ground and not disapating through the atmosphere, also if i were to calculate the actual terminal velocity of this object, and assume that it has an almost perfect drag coeficient I calculated its terminal velocity to be about 1,500 m/s. this is all a guess based on a guessing of the size but it would legot have to be the size of the empire state building to do this

عدو للمسيح relax it was just a joke
I think they are slightly over estimating how much damage those rods could make. Over estimating it a LOT.
They are not. Quite the contrary, they toned it down. Think about this, for perspective. The Asteroid that caused the Vredefort crater was, at most, 5 miles long. Then, consider that most of that 5 mile long asteroid deteriorated and burned off as it came into the atmosphere, heating up like an inferno, and diving down at supersonic speeds. The crater it left was about 300 kilometers long. That isn't even the meteor that may have killed the dinosaurs. That alleged one is even smaller.
Zellig I still find it hard to believe. Asteroids that leave giant craters are a lot bigger than a tungsten rod (it looked like several meters, but let's say 100mt, sleek so it does not burn up too much in re-entry). With that shape and weight it might plunge straight through London and shatter a few blocks, not flip it on the other side like a pancake. Another thought would be for time. Asteroids have had aeons to accelerate, sling-shooting in and out of this and that orbit. They get to Earth at speeds of many Km/second. An object in high orbit might plunge at several Machs of speed, is that enough to obliterate 500 blocks?
You're absolutely right, and Zellig is talking out of his ass. Look up "Project Thor", which is the real life program that this is based on. They were estimating yields between 8 - 12 tons of TNT per shot, which is roughly comparable to a daisy-cutter or a MOAB. The KT dinosaur killer asteroid on the other hand had an estimated yield of 100 teratons.
Everything I said about the Vredefort crater is true. I was incorrect about nothing. You made yourself look like an ass. Are you even considering the fact that the only example we have to work with here are that it showed the rods leveling at least a few city blocks (they wuold, even Project Thor strikes could hypothetically have the power of a small tactical nuke) and some buildings were on fire? We don't have a lot to work with here one way or another to determine how 'accurate' the depiction was because you get to see a few shots of random destroyed areas that give you not actual assessment of the scale of the attack. Feel free to prove otherwise, or keep talking out of your ass while accusing others of doing the same thing because you want to feel like you're some kind of military-industrial savant on your keyboard. That's marginally entertaining too.
And before you 'herp-a-DUR u said asteroid dumbass' yes, I did, I also specifically stated right before talking about it that what I was saying was to "put it in perspective" and not make a statement claiming that the scenario depicted in the movie was analogous to it - so quit while you're behind.
This is normally the part where I would say that this isn't rocket science, but technically, it kind of it. ;)

And so orbital strikes were born
a meteor as big as everest killed the dinosaurs ... that little tungsten tube could at best destroy a neighbourhood
nope. "project thor", what this movie is obviously basing it off of. Telephone poll sized tungsten rod slams into the ground at mach 8, with the force of a small tactical nuke, around 13 kilotons (Fat Man was 21 kilotons, and completely wiped out a large city)
It's a tungsten ROD, not a tube. The tube is made of platinum, know the difference god dammit

I feel like the entire sequence with nuclear disarmament followed by the doomsday weapon is very much something straight out of a cartoon, in a good way, but the rest of the film feels so disconnected from it that it feels like a completely different movie.

Man, the High Sparrow is sure getting out of hand with his revolution.
This weapon is real and was designed in the 80’s but was called Thor’s hammer
It's actually referred to as the rods of god under project Odin.
@@mizzoupatriot8814 "Rods of God" only became a nickname after the idea hit science fiction. The real name was Project THOR, first theorized by Jerry Pournelle (Who went on to popularize the idea as a science fiction writer, ironically enough). "As some of you may know, I "invented" Thor a long time ago. I have no idea who decided to call it "Rods from God", but while I was in operations research back in the 1950's I developed the notion of "orbital telephone poles" made of tungsten, to be coupled with the Thoth Missile guidance systems we were developing at Boeing." The actual idea was to have a non-nuclear bunker-buster type weapon with extensive range and accuracy that could be used to neutralize Russia's nuclear launch bunkers and silos. In order to do this without requiring a massive payload, the use of a durable projectile and extremely high velocity was considered. The project never really got off the drawing board though, as it was just so unbelievably expensive.
For campy action movies to sell toys, these movies were pretty fun and showed the villains as actually capable. Destroying the Eiffel tower in the first movie and London in the second.
He must have really hated English Breakfast.
“So now that we aren’t spending all our money on nukes. We have a new problem, we released so much plutonium into the atmosphere within a months time we will have no ozone layer. Everyone is going to die.”
That is so much damage to be real in real life especially if the only mechanism behind it is to simply drop a rod of metal. For me, it would've been much better if instead of just dropping the rod from space, they would fire the rod like the electromagnetic rail gun. I wonder how much damage it would cause if the rod was fired via rail gun from space in real life... 🤔
Just dropping it from space it will reach terminal velocity the original design for the real life Thor project in the 1950’s the rod was based around the size of a standard telephone pole 27 inch diameter and 36 feet in length.
In 2003 the USAF looked at this principle again and designed rods to be just 12 inches in diameter and 20 feet long with the final speed before impact estimated at being Mach 8.8 resulting in 11.5 kilotons of destruction.
1:02 Is there any particular reason the "drop" button is so tiny? 😅
