An Analysis of Ant-man (and Other Avengers)
How Would You Use a Second Chance?
Ant-Man, a thief reformed. A second chance—a recurring melody sung by the Avengers. Some rose from an injury or an accident (Iron Man, Hulk). Others were thought dead (Captain America, Black Panther) or grew from childhood trauma (Black Widow, Hawkeye). But they all became great heroes from that second chance.

Stones
Stones of Remembrance, aka “Stones,” is a unique comedy with a dramatic thread set in Southern California, Las Vegas, and points in between. In the present day, Clare seeks to solve the separate, but possibly connected, murders of her daughter, Sara, and her husband, Jack. The show, however, progresses through Clare’s memories and capitalizes on the humor that exists in everyday life and interpersonal relationships. License is taken to allow for situations where Clare was not present, as well as more time in the present day, if needed to move the story forward. Stones finds a new way to tell an action-mystery story by dressing it as a comedy but keeps the dramatic thread to avoid the absurd.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.
