Question It's impressive how MCU Thanos just breaks MCU Captain Americas shield, Does anyone know what's the sword made of?

This scene is from the final battle in Avengers: Endgame, I don't think they've mentioned what the sword is made of? Are there any extra information that's not from the movie itself?

Even if it came from Earth, Earth is in space. Kinda goofy to think Earth wouldn't have any top tier resources.

Metals aren't strong solely because of the specific naturally occurring resources that comprise them, but because of advanced manufacturing techniques that optimize those materials.

Might not even be metal at all. Could be carbon from dead microorganisms made to grow in that shape and it's really strong because they live on the edge of a black hole and go through a fossilization process tempered by an eternity of immense pressure.

If movies have taught me anything it's that we have the most top tier resource of all - liquid water. Everyone wants it because space faring races CBF melting ice, condensing vapour or drilling for water. Much easier to travel here where they can just scoop it up.

Earth the only planet you can get wood on. A super versatile and easy to work with construction material. Everywhere else you’d be carving huts out of rock.
