There has been recent traction towards the idea that pop culture is relevant to the “study, practice, and teaching of international law”. Many scholars acknowledge that it is important to engage with science fiction, even with its ‘fantastical hypotheticals’, as its grim scenarios can allow the re-imagination of law as it stands, and make international law accessible to non-lawyers. Similarly, since popular culture reflects and can impact common perspectives of international law, its narratives have immense pedagogical potential for unpacking international legal concepts.
