Over the past year or so, a Finnish factory owner has garnered more than 1.6 million YouTube subscribers by introducing them to the wonderful world of destroying things like golf balls, diamonds and even a piece of paper folded seven times (it’s damn near impossible to fold more than that, go try it) with a hydraulic press.
More than 176 million views later, Lauri Vuohensilta is taking on the most outrageous challenge he’s ever encountered: Crushing Adamantium, the indestructible metal alloy fictionalized in Marvel comics and fused into the claws and skeleton of the X-Men character Wolverine.
As you’ve probably worked out by now, it’s a promotional clip for the upcoming movie Logan, which arrives in theaters on March 3 – but it’s a clever and entertaining one, and it’s great to see a huge brand like Marvel team up with a fun niche channel to create something fun.
Protip: Do not try this at home – unless, of course, you have spare hydraulic presses.
