About

Hi! My name is Megan Robinson, and as you might have guessed, I don't have a brand. I am an aspiring writer, hoping to major in Media/Cinema Studies in college. I have had a passion for film for my entire life, and I wanna put that passion to good use. I plan to use this website for writing about film, television, video games, really any piece of media I am interested in.

The plan with this is to typically write pieces on the 15th and 30th of each month, about anything I have an interest in. There will be updates and most likely shorter pieces in between these longer works, but the schedule will stay like this.

Why Can't We Let Batman Be Happy?

Image
Bruce Wayne visiting his parents' grave Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is a 1993 movie (which just recently celebrated its twenty fifth anniversary) in the universe of the critically-acclaimed show  Batman: The Animated Series . The film focuses on Bruce Wayne having to deal with a woman from his past, Andrea Beaumont, while his alter ego has to clear his name after a mysterious new vigilante appears in Gotham and begins killing members from a crime syndicate.  This is going to contain spoilers for the film, so let me get the big twist out of the way: the new vigilante, the Phantasm, is Andrea Beaumont (cue gasps from the crowd).  Now that we have that out of the way, let me ask: why can't we let Batman be happy? Throughout the film, we see flashbacks that Bruce is experiencing, each of them a fantastic insight into his character that is rarely seen.  While Batman is typically cold, aggressive, or even emotionless in comics, his animated counterpart seems to ...

Have Faith in Your Fictional Women: An Analysis of Soul Calibur's Characters

Tira and Seong-Mina in Soul Calibur. Anyone look cold here? The conversation surrounding misogyny in video games and gaming circles has been a large talking point for the better part of a decade at the very least. When choosing who to market video games to back in the very gendered 1970s when they began to be produced for commercial use, marketing executives chose boys, excluding entire markets from a medium, and a product, that anyone can enjoy. It's a choice that has haunted the industry to this day, as more and more men show their disdain for women who play these games, whether these women play in competitive circles or for pure entertainment, gatekeeping is common in the industry and community. Women are not only discouraged from engaging with these products, but from making them as well, as development teams, from writers to programmers to directors show a clear lack of diversity on all fronts. Nowhere is this gap more felt than in the fighting game genre, as straight cis...

How Lost in Translation Began Scarlett Johansson's Obsession with Becoming Japanese

Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation Disclaimer: This article is not meant to defame or denounce any of the people mentioned in it. It is simply for discussion purposes only, to lead to healthy debate rather than rude insults. This article was not written with malicious intent. When the casting of the American-made live-action version of Ghost in the Shell was announced, it was met with a general disdain from the world of social media, particularly because of the casting of the main character, Major Motoko Kusanagi whose name was changed to Major Mila Killian so Johansson can fit in more, I assume. Major, a character who I'm sure you can tell is likely a Japanese character from a piece of Japanese media, was to be played by Scarlett Johansson, an actress who is, technically, white. As you can imagine, this upset and angered many people, not only Asian and Japanese communities but also fans of the original source material, as the film had taken the labor...
