"I, Myself, Will Go Down With You."

Fathom Magazine — At the beginning of 2021, my One Year Chronological Bible Reading Plan had me in the throes of Joseph's story-after more than twenty years believing his son was dead, Jacob, the Hebrew patriarch, learned Joseph was actually alive.

Why Was Aunt May So Powerful in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'?

Cinemania — After two weeks of slinging myself away from a web of spoilers online and in real life and hearing friends talk non-stop about how awesome it is, I finally saw Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters. It definitely lived up to the hype. Well, almost. SPOILERS, from here on out...

Why Batman Is a Terrible Superhero (Or, Why Our Social Crises Demand a Different Class of Hero)

Tor.com — Superheroes have let us down. While we long to have their power and free rein, they have failed to exemplify how we can use the power we do have to effect the change we seek.

Three Things White People Can Learn from Dan Cathy and 'The Babylon Bee'

Three Things White People Can Learn from Dan Cathy and 'The Babylon Bee'

Medium — Two weekends ago, I was browsing Facebook - terrible habit; don't recommend - when I saw a post highlighting The Babylon Bee's article titled, "Chick-Fil-A Now Open On Sunday But Only For Black People." I chuckled. It was a cringey, par-for-the-course, over-the-top take, something I was not surprised to see The Bee had put out.

The Enduring Legacy of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Enduring Legacy of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speculative Faith — It's almost a miracle that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is returning for a seventh season on May 27. A little over a year after The Avengers brought together "Earth's mightiest heroes" in 2012, cementing the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that had begun in 2008, this little show began as an attempt to give fans a low-level look at the more mundane goings-on in the vaunted world the movies had established.

"i like the devil": Purity Ring's Prayer for a Balanced Perspective on Feminism and Womanhood

"i like the devil": Purity Ring's Prayer for a Balanced Perspective on Feminism and Womanhood

An Injustice! — If there were ever a musical act to embody the adjective of rebel, Purity Ring is that act. Starting in 2012, with debut album Shrines, vocalist Megan James has delivered dense, mysterious, beautifully threatening lyrics, and producer Corin Roddick has turned the idea of "pop" upside down with floaty, overwhelming, vibrational sound.

The Second Coming of Purity Ring

The Second Coming of Purity Ring

Medium — The electro-pop band, Purity Ring, might not be a household name, partly because the two-member act's overwhelming sound and often gory lyrics don't subscribe to the modern majority's palette of musical taste. But, after a five-year hiatus since their sophomore album Another Eternity, writer/vocalist Megan James and instrumentalist/producer Corin Roddick have returned with a typically dense, but timely message.

How 'It: Chapter Two' Defeats Its Devilish Clown

Speculative Faith — It: Chapter Two finds seven childhood friends reuniting after twenty-seven years to face off against an enemy that has returned to terrorize their hometown. The film, while offering up plenty of hilarious moments, takes viewers on a roller-coaster of memory, disguises, and revelatory truths.

A Feast of Mysteries for the Soul

A Feast of Mysteries for the Soul

Fathom Magazine — G.K. Chesterton said, "Mysticism keeps [people] sane. As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery, you create morbidity." Mysticism -- mystery -- is the main ingredient in what feeds the soul. But what exactly is mystery?

Why Batman Can't Save Gotham

Why Batman Can't Save Gotham

Speculative Faith — What Gotham needs is not a dark knight, but a hero who operates by a different code. --- Fox's Batman origin series, Gotham, has returned for its fifth and final season. The show features a bevy of proto-villains from the future Dark Knight's Rogues Gallery-Poison Ivy, the Joker, Penguin, the Riddler. And new this season, Bane.

'12 Monkeys' and the Temptation to Live Only for the Present

danielwhyte4.com — Have you ever wished you could go back in time and undo a mistake? Erase its consequences? Make a better choice? Unfortunately, we don't have that luxury. But the protagonists of 12 Monkeys, one of the better sci-fi shows on TV, give us an excellent sandbox in which to explore what would happen if we did.

A Revolt Against Death

A Revolt Against Death

Fathom Magazine — There are some things that we should neither like nor accept. Death is such a thing. Yet, it feels like our society is becoming complacent toward death. And not just complacent -- accepting, embracing even. Nowhere is this more seen than in the discussion around suicide.

The Diverse Kingdom: Growing Inclusion in SFF Publishing is a Small Fulfillment of God's Plan

The Diverse Kingdom: Growing Inclusion in SFF Publishing is a Small Fulfillment of God's Plan

DanielWhyte4.com — By definition, science fiction and fantasy are unique among literary genres because of the presence of a wide range of diverse characters and people groups. Certainly, many are fictional (as far as we know)-Vulcans, Calormenes, sentient droids. Certainly, many portrayals, such as that of female characters and Native Americans, have been fetishized and over-troped.

Blurred Reflections

Blurred Reflections

Fathom Magazine — I read C.S. Lewis's science fiction novels, called The Space Trilogy , a couple of years before the current firestorm of awareness on gender issues. With the amount of attention paid to the #MeToo movement and the increasing conversation around "toxic masculinity," I can't help but think of how Lewis was ahead of his time, and how, through story, he shed light on this very topic.

What 'American Gods' Says About American Christianity

What 'American Gods' Says About American Christianity

Relevant Magazine — Neil Gaiman's 2001 fantasy novel, American Gods, couldn't have been more prescient when it was written. Now that the series is getting the silver screen treatment, the clash of gods-mythical and modern-reminds us that there really is a war going on, and the battlefield is our hearts.
