Why is Mr. Green so Blue? 

By G. P. Avants   Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 didn’t skip a beat right from the start. It laid down a sound track that made you want to get up and dance. (That is if course if you are the type who dances.)   As Star Lord and crew prepares to defend a…

Iron Fist “Duality of Life”

          By: John D. Pepe       The first time I watched the Iron Fist series I was left with a feeling of disappointment. It just seemed to miss that “something” that the other Netflix Marvel Series had.  I reluctantly decided to give it a second viewing, but watched with…

Daredevil: “Violence, Is It Ever Justified?”

  By: John D. Pepe I had a near fisticuffs about six weeks ago and it made me think of the series Daredevil and our nation’s willingness to embrace violence.  It has been a while since I finished the series but remembering the second season, and the contrast between Daredevil and Punisher’s philosophy of meting…

How to Run an Empire

  By G.P. Avants   I probably should have done this a long time ago, but it’s better late than never. I wanted to time and say thank you to a director who really does a great job at what he brings to the cinematic galaxy. This gentleman has built an empire that is extensive and…

The Lego Batman Movie: “I Don’t Do Ships…”

By: John D. Pepe   Life is about connectedness.  It’s about the relationships we develop, with friends, family, co-workers, etc.  I mean even the most hardened of criminals need basic human contact, otherwise why risk time in “the yard” where you can be attacked over time in “the hole” where one is safe.  The reason…

Your Source for the Force

From the God Among Geeks staff: Gary, Rudy, and John Talk about a mash up. Today is National Day of Prayer and it happens to fall on May 4th.  I was going to say only Neekdom knows about May the Fourth be with you, but many in pop-culture are aware of it.  So, this is…

“Aging”

    By: John D. Pepe   Man, it is hard getting older.  Now that I’m firmly settled in my forties (45 to be exact), I empathize with this “older” Logan.  I’ve always been active, still am, but not unlike Wolverine it hurts to extend my claws, so to speak. I’ve been a practicing martial…

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…

Epicenter 

  By G. P.  Avants   There is the debate whether there is such a thing as human goodness. The longer you live the more you see the depravity and weaknesses of people. It can be from the exhausted-looking stranger who hobbles by you on the street, to the stressed out spouse who stares awake…

Liberty?

By G. P. Avants America is based on the idea that all men are created equal. There is a special word that defines a people of this nation: liberty.  The question is how do we use the liberty we are granted? In the opening scenes of Logan we begin to see that the US has…

Speciation 

  By G.P. Avants   The reality of any hero movie is they have a story to tell with a defined origin story, a series of adventures, and for many a heroic end. Logan AKA Wolverine has lived a life that has ironically began not too long after the birth of America. He has participated…
