Lava has more uses in fiction than water





Do you think the lava is hot?

I like the lava in super Mario 64 that makes Mario run around with his pants on fire like a big fucking loser

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

Pretty sure there's some sinking with the real lava? Or is it too solid to actually sink through? Because hot springs can be fatal before touching the water and you can still into those.

But orange water is a fun idea, although the consistency is nothing like that. Even if you weren't affected by the heat, it's still liquid stone so there'd be like zero visibility.

My favorite lava was in Quake II because there were places you could trick the bad guys into running/falling into the lava and they'd make a little yelp noise and I'd just laugh my ass off.

Whatever Lava Classic Sonic uses

It can hurt you, it's solid and run/spindash/jump off it, it can crush you against the wall, and there's 3 forms of protection against it

Realistic: You will not sink, and will instantly be burnt to a crisp (Star Wars 3)

Star Wars lava is not realistic. Obi-Wan and Anakin would have caught on fire and been killed long before getting anywhere near the lava just due to the ambient heat it gives off; they would not be engaging in a lightsaber duel mere feet above the surface of a river of lava that is so hot it actually has incandescence and decent flow properties.

Lava is molten rock; a human body doesn't have the density to sink into it. Basically the same reason why people don't sink in the Dead Sea, just many times more potent.

The Force is just Nen and it both protects them from the heat of the lava and also shields them from the noxious fumes sure to be present.

Not sure whether you posted these in support or as contradiction, but they kind of prove my point.

The first video was a lava flow that had been cooling for *two weeks* in an area with ambient temperature roughly 20 degrees below freezing and which had a solidified rock skin (which serves to insulate from the worst of the heat) and it's a) Still hot enough to cook food and b) Hot enough to make the guy approaching it uncomfortable.

The second was someone in a specialized suit getting within a couple feet of a lava flow which, again, had a solidified surface and even that was considered extremely dangerous. Anakin and Obi-Wan standing unprotected a few feet above a lava flow which was so hot that its surface was molten rather than solidified (as in it looked orange on top rather than black) should have been cooked alive, with their clothes catching fire.

Support.

Most fiction ignores the entire concept of convection, but in the real world you can basically be cooked alive simply by being near relatively cool lava

I was actually looking for a clip from the same Top Gear episode where James drives up to a volcano to collect fresh lava rocks (in a bucket) and they have to rig up a system to continually pour water on the tires to prevent them from melting as he drives, but it doesn't seem to be on YouTube.
