Episode 15: Marvel Science 101

from AP Marvel Hosted by AP Marvel

Let’s get into an actual school subject on AP Marvel for once: science! Chris is joined by their friend, biology and English major Betsy Ladyzhets (@owlinaminor) and regular co-host Anthony to talk about how the Marvel Cinematic Universe depicts science. The universe started somewhat grounded in Iron Man before things went awry in films like Ant-Man and the Wasp. Is it worth trying to get back to scientific accuracy, or will we need to shut up and continue our suspension of disbelief?
