Star Wars Rewritten. A No-Spoiler Version of Episode 2. Part 10
How to Create a No-Spoiler Version of Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. Part 10 I grew up watching the Star Wars prequel trilogy and love them to no end, but they are flawed films and, like others before me, I’ve been working on my own fix. I’ve also become a little obsessed…

Peacemaker Season 2 Review
Spoilers for Peacemaker Season 2 The final episode of Peacemaker season 2 aired a few days ago, and the reaction has been somewhat mixed. Some fans felt the episode was a let-down and that it was disconnected from the rest of the season. I’ve seen it described as season 3 episode 1, instead of as…

Legend of Zelda Timeline Theory: Sheikah vs Hylians
The Sheikah Tribe is, by far, one of the most important factions in the Legend of Zelda series. They’re also known as the Shadow Folk, and they’re usually good guys. They oppose Ganon, they help out Link, they’re loyal to the royal family, and they’re allied to the Hylians. There’s a fair amount of in-game…

The Real Monsters in the Legend of Zelda are the Hylians
Monstrous Hylians doing Monstrous things to Monsters. (This is a more coherent, edited version of an early post. The original is available here.) The good guys in the Legend of Zelda games may be doing horrifying things to the monsters. This article is more a joke than a theory, something unintentionally dark I noticed in Breath…

Batman in the DCU
The Brave and the Bold movie and my pitch on how to introduce Batman to the DCU You can’t have the DC universe without Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman (the DC trinity). Warner Bros. discovered this in the final days of the DCEU and James Gunn fortunately appears to understand it well. He’s just released…

Update: Star Wars Rewrite Mega Thread
1st September 2025 Hi all. Life and various other writing commitments have gotten a little stressful recently, so I’m taking it a little easier with this blog. I’m not stopping and will keep writing new articles, but at the moment I figured I’d just do a bit of housekeeping. In particular, my Star Wars Prequels…

Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 1 Review
Spoilers for Peacemaker and Superman The new season of Peacemaker is underway, and it’s great. Was there any doubt it would be? The DCU takes shape The new season comes on the heels of James Gunn’s Superman movie and serves as a continuation of the story. I’m fairly happy about that; normally, we have to…

Alien: Earth Review. Episodes 1-3
Spoilers for Alien: Earth Episodes 1-3 I really want to like Alien: Earth, but I’ll admit, I’m struggling to get it. I might be going against the grain here. Its score on Rotten Tomatoes is currently very high, and some of those reviewers will, I assume, have seen the whole show. Perhaps it improves, but…

The Moons of Jupiter are Awesome and Their Narrative Potential Immense
I once heard it said, I think on a forum, that the Jovian System (Jupiter and its moons) is an empire waiting to exist. That has stuck in my mind. Its narrative potential, as well, is almost endless. There is so much world-building that you could do, and so many cool Sci-Fi themes you could…

Superman Review. The Future of Superhero Movies?
Spoilers for Superman It’s taken me a while to write about this, but ah well. The new DC film universe is officially underway, and I’m endlessly excited. James Gunn’s Superman was released in July, and it’s a lot of fun. I’ll confess my expectations were impossibly high and did leave me slightly disappointed at first.…
