Today, I'm taking basic LEGO Marvel minifigures and giving them 300 IQ upgrades.

Each upgrade will get bigger as we go.

Now, let's begin with Sue Storm, and since she is the Invisible Woman, we can use this transparent blue piece to swap out one of her arms to make it invisible.

And now her superpowers look a little better in LEGO form, and I'll be upgrading more Fantastic Four members later in this video.

Now, the Black Panther's weapon of choice are these long silver claws, which look pretty cool, but they are the very same piece and color used for Wolverine's claws,

So what if we switch things up with a black set of claws to give to the Black Panther?

Now the most common web shooter for Spider-Man are the ones in his hands right now.

And they can be launched which is pretty cool.

But there's a ton of more options that we can look at.

Like these web builds right here which make it look like Spider-Man's firing webs from his wrists.

There's also this web piece right here which is made of a soft plastic.

So that you can connect two of them together to build some sort of cocoon of webs to capture Spider-Man's enemies.

Then there are these long web pieces

which you can connect to buildings to make it look like Spider-Man swinging through the city.

Now, if you've ever built or owned a Lego Loki minifigure, you'd know that his staff isn't very accurate.

The old one's just oversized and awkward, and the new one looks nothing like the real staff.

So I grabbed some Lego parts from my collection to build my own version, and I started by building the staff piece, and then I added this clip piece with a bar on it,

and then I added a Lego claw piece in this cool gold color.

And to finish the staff, I added the Mind Stone, and I think this looks much better for Lego Loki.

Now, let's upgrade our second Fantastic Four member, and that is Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch.

Now the LEGO set he came and gave him some basic fire pieces, but I think we could do better.

There is a much larger fire piece on this LEGO Captain Marvel minifigure, so we can add that to Johnny Storm to give him a huge upgrade.

And this Ghost Rider has a brand new fire piece element on his hands that's a lot more interesting

because there's a stud on the end, which means we can add even more fire to the minifigure, which makes it look like Johnny Storm's flying through the air.

We could also take it a step too far by adding

this fire piece off of Ghost Rider's head to Johnny Storm's hair, which I think looks a little silly.

But now we've made two of the Fantastic Four members just a little more fantastic.

Now, did you know that there's one thing in common with pretty much every Captain America minifigure?

Lego does not like to give Captain America detailing on his legs, which is a shame.

So I picked out three different pairs of Lego minifigure legs that could be a solution.

We'll start with this pair of legs that has a belt on it first, but no matter what Captain America you put it on, it gives the Captain two belts, which isn't very tactical for a super soldier.

Next, we could try this pair of legs with red boots, which I think works better than the one we just used, but it does look a little cartoonish.

So I think this set of legs with brown boots and blue pants looks the best on Captain America.

It makes him look way better.

Now let's spend some time making some 300 IQ upgrades to Doctor Strange.

Now we're pretty familiar with the portals Doctor Strange makes to travel from place to place.

So what if I told you we can make a giant portal for Doctor Strange with only a few pieces?

Now the Lego Spider-Verse collectible minifigure series came with these interesting transparent orange pieces

which are conveniently the same color as Doctor Strange's portal.

So if we take a ton of these orange Lego minifigure stands

and connect them to each other we can slightly angle them

and by adding enough we can create an entire circle

which can be used as a new type of portal for Doctor Strange or a portal for someone traveling through the Spider-Verse.

Now, sometimes Doctor Strange wears gloves, and they're actually super easy to replicate in LEGO.

Now, instead of just regular yellow LEGO minifigure hands, you want to use these orangish-yellow hands as Doctor Strange's gloves.

And now that I actually see it on the minifigure, I don't like it at all.

It makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

Now, pretty much any new Doctor Strange minifigure comes with these orange spell pieces.

But the very first Doctor Strange minifigure came with these clear pieces with some spell detailing on them, which I think look pretty cool and I wish we still had something like this.

I mean there's even these fan pieces with some spell casting on them.

Now we've been seeing less and less of the soft cloth texture for our capes

and more and more of these rubber capes

which also means Doctor Strange has a rubber cape and it's a lot different looking than the cloth cape.

Now most would argue that the cloth capes are better

but in the case of Doctor Strange I think

that the rubber cape that Doctor Strange has fits him better as it's a semi-sentient cape

and it gives it more detail in Now let's give Iron Man and War Machine some 300 IQ upgrades.

We'll start with Lego Iron Man and we'll swap out this basic Iron Man figure with one with arm printing.

Next we can build and attach this flight accessory to Iron Man which gives him some boosted flight power.

Then we can give him an Iron Man themed shield

that matches his suit and then we'll also add a power blast to the other hand.

But to really seal the deal, Flight will add these thrusters to the bottom of his feet to make it look like a complete Iron Man upgrade.

Now upgrading Lego War Machine is a lot simpler because the only real issue is this cannon back here.

It's just way too small.

Now we could take the over-accessorized route like this War Machine minifigure has with a stud launcher on one side, three upside down roller skates on the other, and some blasters in his hands.

Now let's take a much simpler route with these five lego pieces

which we can use to assemble a little machine gun that's much larger than our first

and we can equip it to the back of war machine to make him look much better

and now we have a 300 iq war machine

and iron man duo now there are quite a few different variations of the falcon minifigure we have the oldest

which has these straight plastic wings with no posability

and then we have this version from the avengers tower

which has some pretty bulky

and uncomfortable wings then we have the newest version of the wings which is the most flexible and probably the best looking, but I feel like it's a little oversized.

So what if we remove this newest set of wings

and keep the modern Falcon minifigure and add the oldest version of Falcon's wings

and then add a newer version of the Red Wing drone to build a pretty unique version of the Falcon?

Now let's build two Lego Marvel superheroes Lego hasn't made yet.

The first being Sentry.

Now we'll take the entire body from this Sinestro minifigure, which gives us a pretty good leg up.

Then we'll add a dark blue cape, which looks really good of that yellow color.

And then we'll add a pretty generic minifigure head.

And then I picked out and ordered this yellow hairpiece

which I thought would work great for Sentry

but after putting it on the minifigure it's just too yellow

so if we take this minifigure hairpiece from Thor

and add it to our custom Sentry it'll look much better than the original one.

Then our next superhero we'll build is Wonder Man.

Now we'll begin by using this pair of legs from this Lego Spider-Man suit.

Then conveniently there's a torso of a black suit and red W

that we can use for Wonder Man

but we'll swap the arms out to match the real suit

and then we'll take this Lego Blade minifigure and remove the head and add it to our Wonder Man minifigure.

Then to complete our custom Wonder Man minifigure we'll give him this hair piece and now we have two custom LEGO superheroes.

When I got this LEGO Miles Morales minifigure I thought it was interesting

that he had lightning details on his arms

which I thought would be perfect for Thor so we had to make this upgrade happen.

And if you swap the hands out for Thor's hands with these arms they look perfect for the god of thunder.

We can also make it cooler by adding a lightning bolt in his hand like he's harnessing the power of lightning.

100

Or we can place Mjolnir in his hand being struck by lightning, but if we want to take it to the next level, we can have it look like Mjolnir is being thrown and getting struck by lightning.

101

Now I have always been disappointed by the green goblin and his glider, so let's upgrade him.

102

We can start things off with a detailed armored pair of goblin legs, and then we can add the green goblin's torso.

103

And because the torso hints at having a cape, let's add this nice looking purple cape to the Green Goblin.

104

Then we can add this armored goblin mask and cover things up with a goblin hood which really sells the look.

105

We can give the goblin a pumpkin grenade

106

and then let's build him an ultimate looking goblin glatter with bigger wings

107

and more spikes to finally create my ideal Green Goblin minifigure.

108

Now let's give Scarlet Witch some 300 IQ upgrades.

109

Let's start with her magic.

110

Now she typically gets these pink flames

111

which are a lot different than the type of magic we see Doctor Strange wield

112

but I think we can give her a better set of tools using some of these pink translucent parts

113

and when we add these two flame pieces in pink they look much better

114

but the best possible way to show off scarlet witch's magic is these dark translucent red pieces

115

and you'll see why

116

when i attach them to her minifigure now most lego scarlet witch minifigures are pretty boring

117

so we'll switch to this one

118

that isn't from here on out we'll give her those magic spells

119

and then let me show you a cool trick we can do of her legs

120

if we detach the legs from each other

121

and attach them to this lego piece with a stud on

122

its side we can make it look like Scarlet Witch is levitating in the air.

123

We can use the same exact technique for Doctor Strange as well.

124

Now we can finish the Fantastic Four upgrades.

125

You'll notice that Mr. Fantastic has long legs but not long arms.

126

So we can fix that by using this little contraption right here and pressing it into Mr. Fantastic's arm socket.

127

And after doing that we can attach a blue big figure arm to Mr. Fantastic.

128

Unfortunately the right color doesn't exist but this is close enough.

129

So now we have a completely elongated and stretched out Mr. Fantastic.

130

We can also use the same technique to upgrade the thing, but we'll remove the gloves.

131

And now we have a Fantastic Four with 300 IQ upgrades.

132

Now what if we made Groot giant again?

133

To answer that question, I got to work assembling a humongous LEGO Groot build, and it certainly looks cool.

134

And now we've successfully built 300 IQ LEGO Marvel upgrades.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
