Hello, ducks!
Been a while since I did one of these off-top of-my-head kind of pieces. Thought I talk about something that has been on my mind for quite some time. What exactly is deep and profound? A lot of artists throughout history have strived to make their art deep ...
Deep and Profound?

Meet the Hero in Stasis

Tony Stark is glib, arrogant, and a war profiteer. And the perfect Protagonist.
I don't believe stories should be written strictly according to formulas - but writing according to structures that have been established can be helpful to a script when needed.
With that disclaimer out of the way, let ...
