The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Episode 03 Iron Man is born

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'll be reviewing the amazing new show The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. This episode was the third to air, But really it was the first of the micro-series mini-episode compliation shows that serves as an origin for each character. This is Iron Man's one and it comprises for the mini-episodes

Original Air  Date: 24/10/2010 Production Code:001

01 Iron Man is Born

04 Hydra Lives

06 Behold the Mandroids!

09 Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D

I didn't even realise they were mini-episodes because they fit together as a coherent story, as I'm sure it was intended. I'm still playing with format ideas so I guess I'll just go through each mini-episode in order this time and see how we go.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

The last few days I've been tweeting about a my latest discovery, the amazing new Marvel Animation Production  The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I knew it was in the works for a while and didn't really care, the last few Marvel shows weren't that entertaining Iron Man:Armored Adventures, Super Hero Squad etc and while were at it, most carton shows produced in the last ten years or so haven't been up to scratch. There were a few exceptions like Justice League/Justice League unlimited and Batman Beyond.

I know these shows are aimed at children, but the comics they are based on are mostly purchased by older teenagers all the way up to old age adults. So I feel the show should be equally entertaining and enjoyable for those fans too. When I was young the shows I watched, while aimed at children, could be enjoyed by adults in fact I can still watch a lot of those shows today and be entertained, Batman: The Animated Series, 1990's Spiderman, X-men and many more.

Flexing my Brain: Find Your Centre

I've been meaning to do a post of this type this since I started this blog, hence the "coding" part of the URL. I not sure how this popped into my head, I was just doodling on some paper some paper and somehow came up with.

"If you have three points on the circumference of a circle how do you find the centre of that circle?"

Yes, I do ponder odd things at times. To solve this graphically its pretty simple.

Given points p₁,p₂,and p₃, construct two lines l₁and l₂ by connecting p₁ to p₂,and p₂ to p₃.
Find the centre point of each line m₁ and m₂.
From each of these points construct a line, perpendicular to the parent line and find the point intersection of these two new lines (l₃and l₄).
This point of intersection is the centre of the circle, from there you can calculate any and all other circular goodness you might need.
