1
Once again, my superhero minifigures are in mortal danger and if they're lucky enough to survive this, they will definitely want to delete this video full of creative torture.
2
Let's proceed with my Lego contractions starting with Superman.
3
You can't forget to mention Darkseid when speaking of Superman and the Mega Beam when speaking of Darkseid.
4
But pretending to shoot the beam this way is too lame.
5
So I built this to recreate the zigzag feature of the Mega Beam.
6
It's capable of hitting Superman even if he's standing behind him.
7
I connect the LEGO's brain loaded shooters and Darkseid triggers the chain reaction.
8
It seems speed alone is not enough for Superman.
9
Next I will create an awkward moment for Spider-Man.
10
Last time I dismembered Doctor Strange, so for the same movie I'll try to be nice.
11
However it's still fun to recreate this infinite loot.
12
First I reserved a pair of holes in the wall, then I added two rings of fire to create the portal effect.
13
Between them, gravity still works and Peter Parker will drop from the top hole, go into the bottom hole and repeat.
14
Don't forget Doctor Strange's magic cape because at this moment he is about to throw it to grab the box from Peter.
15
I don't know why but I always feel the cape is stronger than Doctor Strange himself.
16
Anyway, I built many Peter Parkers and attached them to the chain.
17
To finish this LEGO build, just insert the parkers into the portals and make them a loop.
18
Now let's check out the effect of this build.
19
Actually I think it turns out pretty well.
20
Next I built a death trap for Aquaman.
21
Just stick him in the sand.
22
Just joking.
23
Sand couldn't kill him, but the thing underneath can.
24
This is a sand warp.
25
Typically, it just lurks under the sand, but when its prey passes by, it senses the slightest vibration and rise from the sand,
26
revealing its giant mouth full of sharp teeth.
27
Then dinner time comes.
28
In front of the sandworm, my Lego contraption serves as a treadmill, sending Aquaman into the sandworm's mouth.
29
Seriously, would you buy a book of these Lego contraptions if there is one?
30
Our contraption continues and this time I'm building a bear trap.
31
Attach a rubber band onto the clamps and add this piece to hold the trap in position for now.
32
The victim is Ant-Man.
33
You may ask, really?
34
Yeah, I mean, for a prey this tiny, it still works.
35
Ant-Man gets pissed off, so the giant version comes for vengeance.
36
Will the trap work for the big figure?
37
Well, the answer is yes.
38
I'm the Riddler and my victim is Robin!
39
Come on!
40
The Lego contraption I use is called the rack, and it appeared in the comics.
41
Basically, it's a torture device from medieval times.
42
How to use it?
43
Well, just place the prisoner, tie up their hands and feet, and then stretch them in different directions.
44
Sorry, Robin.
45
I forgot to prepare a Batman minifigure to rescue you.
46
The rack may be a horrible device, so I decided to hide my contraptions in this build.
47
I want to create a street fight scene that causes a mess where the true danger hides.
48
This is Scorpion, and he's ready to attack Spider-Man with his stinger on his back.
49
Spider-Man however has no clue.
50
Press this button, attack!
51
Instead of the Scorpion minifigure, a hidden stinger on the ground expands to take down Spider-Man.
52
And that is called a diversion.
53
Next the Human Torch will be the victim, because Deadpool decides to pick up a job as a firefighter.
54
As a trainee in Lego City, he's only given the base equipment.
55
However, he has prepared a secret weapon and loaded onto his car.
56
The secret weapon acts as a water cannon.
57
By squeezing the soft rubber, you can create the effect of ejecting water, putting out the human torch.
58
But not all fire needs to be extinguished.
59
The Martian Manhunter, who we know is afraid of fire, is about to be barbecued.
60
All we need to do is set up a nice bonfire and keep the flame burning.
61
Then the minifigure is tied onto a wooden spit to be roasted.
62
Place it and align it with the fire, then rotate it at a steady speed.
63
This will make the perfect barbecue.
64
Deadpool has murdered too many superheroes and many of you have asked in the comments to have him executed, so let's do it.
65
Here I present to you the ultimate ruthless killing machine, the fully automatic guillotine.
66
The signature feature is that it has a treadmill finely calibrated to the cycle of the guillotine.
67
They are synchronized at a fixed pace, you only need to turn the crank handle and all deadpools are executed in one batch.
68
The first trial is not perfect, but it works.
69
With some practice, you can have the Deadpools beheaded on one assembly line or a disassembly line.
70
Next, we will explore more uses for this spring that I detached from a LEGO shock absorber.
71
We're making a LEGO minifigure cannon that actually launches them in the air.
72
The operator is Hardy Queen and the victim is Nightwing.
73
of picking up the old job.
74
First load the cannon by pressing the axle into the locked position, place Nightwing at the top, get prepared, and press the trigger, and Dick is launched into the air.
75
In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ghost is an intangible villain who can pass through the human body.
76
Let's use a Lego contraption to recreate this lethal attack.
77
Prepare a smooth surface as the floor, and place Wasp face to face with Ghost.
78
they start to fight, I need to use my finger to fight the trigger.
79
The contraption releases and the ghost metafigure instantly passes through the wasp.
80
But Venom is worse, he got stabbed through the body by carnage.
81
Carnage.
82
To recreate the fight scene of these two spiky things, I need to find a way to motorize the symbiotic spikes.
83
This is the base I use, and I need to insert the red pieces into the pinholes.
84
After these are all set, I place the Venom minifigure at the center of the contraption facing the Carnage minifigure.
85
Then turn the hidden lever underneath, Carnage will stab Venom with spikes from every direction.
86
This way, Venom is pierced as if by a giant claw.
87
Next, Spider-Man will try to defeat giant Ant-Man with his web, just like in the Captain America Civil War movie.
88
To achieve this, he needs this tiny piece.
89
Stuff countless 1 by 1 round tiles into the gap of this yellow gear ring, then cover it with a matching gearing, which gives you a perfect Lego bearing.
90
This is so satisfying, just turning this bearing and listening to the grainy noise.
91
Now place Ant-Man on the center plate of the bearing and fix Spider-Man on the outer disc.
92
Rotate the disc and Spider-Man will weave and trap Ant-Man with his web.
93
Because the giant Ant-Man lacks agility, he's eventually defeated.
94
Batman gets back home after a whole day of calculations can finally relax on the toilet.
95
But he's wrong.
96
My Lego contraption activates, and he gets launched from toilet.
97
I designed this high-pressure water pump, which is powered by Lego Motors.
98
There's a reason for Batman to always stay alert.
99
This is Green Arrow, and let's build a prison made by the Clock King to constrain him.
100
First, attach a transparent blue bubble canopy piece to the base and another one with green tiles.
101
Two of them make an egg shape.
102
This is as if Oliver is dissolved into a green slime.
103
Then make an identical one but this time lock Oliver inside.
104
Attach the two parts to each other which makes an hourglass.
105
Time is limited and Green Arrow will soon be dead.

¿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.
