Thank you! I really enjoyed your '25 Films From The 21st Century' piece. I've been working on something similar for a while now but I loved your personal approach / take on it

The way Lady Soul climbs those walls singing "Ready or Not" - that's the whole concept. The song becomes her action, her declaration. And that ending? The shift from stealing back what he took to showing Zion what actually matters? Quiet devastation.

"Except you, Zion" might be the hardest four-word pivot I've read in a minute. From theft to gift, from what was stolen to what can't be taken.

I can picture this as physical and digital comics or in a zine. You got something good here.

When the time is right, you'll know.
