ain\'t that the truth. The movie gloves were weak little props. Just look how the first finger blade in pt one got snapped off and resoldered, making the trademark \'bend\' in the blade.
Plus the copper section you\'re thinking about doesn\'t really \'flex\' unless you do something foolish with the glove on like try to make a fist. Even then, in most cases the metal will bend or a rivet will pop before the actual copper will break. Copper would have to bend back and forth quite a few times for it to get enough metal fatique to be weakened enough to break.
Usually the knuckle sections ride and down on the post of the knuckle rivet, depending on how tight those rivets are installed.
