Licking the Chocolate Off Poison Pills: A Comment on Cultural Engagement
Is there any potential risk in enjoying arts and popular culture? Is anything out there poison to us? How should we react to things we enjoy but know are harmful to us?
— Travis Perry in July 2019 —
Against the Tragic Villain Backstory
I’m mostly against the tragic villain backstory as a storytelling device. Let me tell you why.
— Travis Perry in June 2019 —
‘Sorry Your Dragon Show Ended Stupidly’ Meme May Insult ‘GOT’ Fans
As Christians, our mission is to engage with “Game of Thrones” fans, not call what they enjoy “stupid.”
— E. Stephen Burnett in May 2019 —
Was Tolkien A Racist?
How could Tolkien be accused of being a racist when his races were, well, made up? No, there are no hobbits in the world. No, there are no elves. No, there are no goblins or orcs made be the magic of an evil wizard.
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in May 2019 —
Great Art And Story
Because fiction is first a form of communication, I think stories should pay attention to what Scripture says about our correspondence with one another.
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in May 2019 —
Avengers Endgame: Ending White Patriarchy (Mostly) Gracefully
Did Avengers Endgame have an anti-patriarchy agenda? Did it deliberately remove white male figures from the story universe? Maybe, but it did so mostly with grace.
— Travis Perry in May 2019 —
Does the ‘Captain Marvel’ Film Promote Feminism?
Marvel’s cosmic warrior should inspire Christians to approach fantasy and real-life gender roles with biblical balance.
— Marian A. Jacobs in May 2019 —
What Does it Mean for a Story to be “Christian”?
There are at lease nine different ways to define a story’s relationship or lack thereof to Christianity (we’re counting 🙂 ). And that’s not all.
— Travis Perry in May 2019 —
Bad Seed
Why are the origins of evil so fascinating? Why do we crave stories about corruption?
— Mark Carver in May 2019 —
Dreams of Other Worlds
Why do we have dreams of other worlds? Do fictional visions point to a reality beyond our own?
— Travis Perry in April 2019 —
Sharper than Any Double-Edged Sword
Do you get a thrill out of seeing images of darkness or sinful acts in a story? Where does this enjoyment come from?
— Mark Carver in March 2019 —
Does This Avatar Make Me Look Fat?
It’s easy for our imaginations to outpace reality. It’s a blessing and a curse of being human. Naturally, we imagine what we crave, but what if it’s far out of reach?
— Mark Carver in March 2019 —
Four Reasons I Loved ‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’
“How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” makes me long for the day dragons will return.
— E. Stephen Burnett in February 2019 —
Are We Still Reading Animal Farm?
The point of the allegory is clear: communism is no answer to the inequities and economic difficulties of the workers because those who benefit will be those who rule, not everyone else.
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in February 2019 —
A Few Thoughts on “Generation Snowflake”
Are younger generations actually different from the past? Does “generation snowflake” isolate itself from criticism? How are we to respond to criticism and confronting others?
— Travis Perry in February 2019 —
Standing Up to the YA Fantasy Impuritans
As Christians and as fantasy fiction fans, we have a duty to stand up to bullies, including the “Impuritans.”
— L. Jagi Lamplighter in February 2019 —
Why Batman Can’t Save Gotham
What Gotham needs is not a dark knight, but a hero who operates by a different code.
— Daniel Whyte IV in January 2019 —
Io: Pest Control
So how does speculative entertainment treat the problem of these supposed human pests? Get rid of ’em.
— Mark Carver in January 2019 —
Bird Box: Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid
Is the only way to survive life’s brutal realities to willfully blind oneself to the truth, as in “Bird Box”?
— Mark Carver in January 2019 —
Parker J. Cole On Diversity in Christian Fiction
I’m all for including diverse ethnic groups in fiction in general, not just speculative fiction, but when you force diversity, you’re stunting the creative spark.
— Parker J. Cole in December 2018 —
