Armageddon Expo (Auckland) 2019
Here's the blurb I sent the organizers that never, ever got used in any promotional material (i.e. social media posts). In fact, from what I saw, my panel wasn't promoted at all, other than being listed in the schedule. And they didn't even use the right title! Marvel(ous) Science: What the cinematic and comic universes… Continue reading Armageddon Expo (Auckland) 2019
Science Tangents: Avatar: The Last Airbender
I started rewatching the wonderful ATLA on Netflix - binging, of course - and made it to the penultimate episode of season 1 (aka Book 1) before I thought about any science no-nos. That's pretty impressive for a show that upholds the much-outdated idea that fire, water, air, and earth are elements. Anyway, here are… Continue reading Science Tangents: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Throwing Stones at Marvel’s Endgame
Last year I threw together a quick post talking about the differences between the MCU's Avengers: Infinity War and the original 90's series the Thanos Quest and the Infinity Gauntlet. This post shall have nothing of the sort, as I'm struggling to find anything similar other than the fact that everyone who gets snapped out of… Continue reading Throwing Stones at Marvel’s Endgame
