My Top 3 Superhero Picks Of All Time (+Bonus)

"I loved it, the fast pace and excitement. You could relate to the characters either feeling like you are weak but really strong or strong and perfect but with major flaws. The story really took you through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows."

That's it, I want a Creed for a best friend. Can I have Zaldov please? I don't know why, but I seem to always fall in love with AI that has human emotions. That's apparently my weak spot :'D After this little, but very important, remark, le" Read more of this review » |

“I think it's important for each of us to examine the reasons why we have survived our individual challenges, obstacles, and trials. It's not always easy to come to terms with the fact that God always has a greater purpose for us than we can have for ourselves.”

“It's very difficult to strike that balance - and I'm not convinced that many Christian filmmakers, writers, ect, are willing to take the risks necessary to even try. It's much safer and more profitable to tell a wholesome, feel good story (not that there's anything wrong with wholesome stories). But doing the opposite could mean offending potentially large swaths of your target audience by forcing them to confront the ugly truth that's present in each of our lives. I hate to say it, but a good number of Christians would rather feel safe, and good about themselves, than truly examine humanity's desperation and our need for the cross.”

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.”
