My Fangirl Archives
No other Bond villain has incurred my ire like Lyutsifer Safin has. He indirectly killed James Bond, threatened a child, and felt entitled to a woman because he saved her life. One of the things that I find repugnant is he insinuated that Madeleine was damaged because she chose to carry Mathilde to term, despite the fact James rejected...
One of the many things I love about the 007 film Skyfall is the unexpected significant Catholic themes and connections during the long sequence at the titular estate in the Scottish Highlands towards the end. Bishop Barron even did a video commentary on it when he saw it back in 2012. He admits early on in his video that...
Fandom Patron Saints
Inspired by the Random Catholic Thoughts Geek YouTube channel's series of videos on fandom patron saints, I came up with some patron saints for a few of my own fandoms.
Catholicism is a huge defender of free will and emphatically says no to using people merely as things. Black Widow, one of Marvel Studios' 2021 MCU film installments, joins the Catholic Church in upholding free will and denouncing using people merely as a means to an end through the actions of its titular hero, Natasha Romanoff, and her...

On January 14, 2023, Kouatchou, the first black woman to play Christine Daaé on Broadway, said, "I love...
A Few Notes About Harry Potter & Magic
If you want to incite controversy in Christian circles, mentioning Harry Potter will easily do the trick. But I advise you not to. Causing division within the Body of Christ is strongly condemned in the New Testament.
Superheroes Are Not Gods
The title is true. And they are not a substitute for the saints. They are not even psuedo-saints. Even though superheroes have cool super powers, they are still characters who struggle with evil within themselves. Iron Man and Doctor Strange both start out as narcissistic jerks, but over the course of the MCU, they become more selfless. So does...
At first, Bond's death was very painful for me. James Bond is a character I hold near and dear to my heart, despite his flaws and vices. So I bawled after James's death scene the first two times I saw the film. But as time passed, I came to look at it in a more positive way. I began to see it as Bond's most Christ-like act. ...
