Punk Rock and LiteratureI am very interested in writing about how punk rock and literature intersect. I feel like both are mediums where its artists continually question the answer. I think about literary characters that are punk rock. For me the brooding indignation of Byron's manfred is very punk rock because he tries to forge his own path despite the offered help of others. Expatriates like Hemingway's Fredric Henry don't just blindly follow orders or fight for the sake of fighting, but question why there is fighting to begin with.

Kratos vs Luke Skywalker: How to Innovate a Protagonist | |
It’s difficult. I know The Warcraft movie suffered from trying to balance between making it marketable to everyone without alienating diehards. The average popcorn movie viewer just wants action and doesn’t care about lore. The average WoW player is dedicated and want a level of fan service that if executed would most likely close the movie off to others, and be universally unsuccessful. Hard line to walk. | Movie Adaptations of Video Games: Why Are They Bad? |
Great article and even better imagery to go with it. | Dystopia: Hope in the Face of a Seemingly Impenetrable System |
Atreus balances Kratos like the force balances Luke!
