A Nerd’s Brand of Hero

By G.P. Avants  I think inside all of us is a hero that wants a chance to do something great. You know, we all want to change the world in some way. Can you relate? What can a neek do that compares with those who do great almost superhuman things?  As our character, Levy finds…

Nice Flirken

By G. P. Avants This piece is a short and sweet prediction about Avenger’s Endgame. I know the rumor mill is in full production, kicking out fan-fueled thoughts and ideas about how the Avengers will find a solution to Thanos’ fatal snap. It might involve Flirken to get the job done. Ah, what is a…

You Got…Personality 

By G. P Avants   I teach a high school course called, “Media Communications”. It is a class that allows students to get skills to apply for business or start their own to online venture. Not everyone is college bound. There are so many great careers that require little or no college courses. So, I…

Pay it Sidewards 

By. G. P. Avants   In the vein of negative news and angry fandom attitudes, we are discovering the power of social media. I discovered that money does have its importance for many, but getting positive reviews have a weight of their own. Think about it. If people provide nothing but negative and hurtful comments…

These are Moments

  By G. P. Avants   I love to look at the big picture and how things connect, whether in fiction or real life. It’s like seeing all the story connection in a series like The Chronicles of Narnia or Harry Potter series. Lately I have been watching movies and movie watchers. There seems to…

Comics? Ha! 

  By G.P. Avants   Why do we love comic book heroes? Maybe it’s because their character and spirit have things we can emulate and affect real life. Who wouldn’t want to fly like Superman, shoot webs like Spider-man, or spike up like Wolverine and route out the enemy? Anyone who is reading this blog…

Worn & Torn 

  By G.P. Avants   From my first impression of Logan I observed a tired and weary world. Things have progressed since the last time we have seen Dr. Xavier, Wolverine and the world where humans and mutants co-habitate. Technology has progressed, but the mutants are all but extinct. Oddly, humans have become a distant colder species….

Hey, Paper Boy! 

By G.P. Avants   There are two reasons why I thought Kubo of the Two Strings was a movie worth watching. One reason was the visual animation used to tell a very unique style. Since it was from the creators of Coraline, they already peaked my interest. So this is for storytellers and wordsmiths who…

Surrender, Stephen

  By G.P. Avants   Dr. Stephen Strange was a man who believed in the here and now. He was a hands on guy who was grounded in the material world. In the good doctor’s perspective for things to exist in real time, they had to be tangible and explainable. When his grasp on the…

Time Will Tell How Much I Love You

  By G.P. Avants   Dr. Stephen Strange was a man of means. He had everything a rock and roll living genuine brain surgeon needed. Unfortunately, he also had an ego that often got him in trouble pretty much all the time. The good doctor never valued time or people as important in his life. He…

 A Powerful Ally; The Living Force (Part II)

It will guide you.”                        -Maz Kanata       Eyes shut Darkness falls, Yet something different Begins to call.
