Let’s talk about Daredevil’s “World On Fire”

by Christine | Jun 2, 2021 | Daredevil Science, Featured, Marvel Television Shows

I’ve decided to start this new chapter in the life of The Other Murdock Papers, by tackling a topic I’ve been meaning to address since 2015, when the first season of Marvel’s Daredevil came out. I’m talking about the short-lived special effect...

See also my follow-up post from 2023 detailing similar scenes from season three. In August of last year, I wrote my longest posts yet (now second longest since this one is even more of a monster), detailing scenes and details from the first season of Daredevil in...

The philosophy of Paolo Rivera’s radar

The philosophy of Paolo Rivera’s radar

by Christine | Apr 28, 2012 | A History of the Radar Sense, Featured
