Run by Geeks of Color, for Geeks of Color
21-year-old senior at JMU, class of 2020 in Virginia. Writing for Geeks of Color. My friends call me Stark, so you can call me Stark, too. Nothing but love.
Note: Featured image based off of graphic design by Jazz (@Jxxcreations) Have you ever heard of a reaction video? Well, it’s basically just that: a video of people reacting to things, usually a show. For the longest time, I never watched one and after I recently finished re-watching Avatar: The Last Airbender (for probably the fiftieth time), I wanted more. […]
Don’t worry. It was probably for medicinal purposes, and the pilot has much more to offer viewers. Roswell, New Mexico is a reboot 2002’s Roswell, which was an adaptation of the young-adult book series, Roswell High, by Melinda Metz. The books and TV series have obviously been around for a while and have gotten plenty of attention, but I’d never heard […]
The first season of The Punisher ended with blood spilled and vengeance served. Frank Castle discovered his “best friend”, Billy Russo, was behind the death of his family. Billy fooled the many characters he interacted with but finally got what was coming − Punisher style. However, the Punisher has more to punish this time around. Thank you to Netflix for […]
“With great power comes great responsibility.” Everybody’s heard this quote and its many variations many times before. While it does belong to our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, it is a saying that every hero—whether in comic books or real life—embody. It is a simple quote that speaks to a big part of what it is to be a hero. It captures […]
It’s that time of the year again. The holidays are fast approaching and ’tis the season to grab some popcorn, make a cup of hot chocolate, get warm under a blanket, and enjoy a holiday movie marathon. There are so many different movies to choose from, and we are here to help with a list of movies for whatever you […]
Aubrey “Drake” Graham. Some people love him and some just think he’s overrated. Regardless, it’s near impossible to deny how much he impacts modern pop culture, whether it be through dumb memes, acronyms, social media trends, or even challenging masculinity tropes. Drake is truly something else. While I am a fan of his music, this article isn’t to praise him. […]
Although I say this for every season, I am really excited for the next season of Arrow. What can I say? They have a knack for season finales. I didn’t enjoy season six as much as I did season five, but it was still pretty good because it had more detail to the villains and introduced character dynamics we haven’t […]
I used to love the WWE. I watched it every RAW Monday and Smackdown! Friday with my older sister. I was that kid who always sported Jeff Hardy’s merch (arm bands and all) and got in trouble for doing the DX “suck it” move in front of my middle school teachers. I have no regrets. Somewhere down the line at […]
Superheroes have been drawn with ridiculously and unnaturally perfect bodies from the get-go and that’s fine, sometimes it even adds to the entertainment. The exaggerated curves, bulges, and muscles are often so absurd it’s laughable. While that’s all great, no healthy human being can obtain these bodies in real life, especially if that human has a schedule that demanding of […]
This article contains spoilers. So make sure you see it before you read this! If you don’t know if you want to watch it, check out the trailer here. Cash is green. Everybody knows this and it’s what they say in the movie about the protagonist, Cassius “Cash” Green. This movie is filled with symbolism and motifs that mock society […]
I admit I’ve only just recently watched the Dear White People series, but because of its bold themes and interesting character dynamics, I binge-watched all two seasons in the span of a few weeks or so. In anticipation for the unconfirmed third season set to come out, I decided to write this article on what the show may offer us […]
Featured thumbnail picture taken by Byron Koranteng. I met this guy in middle school homeroom and thought he was just another kid who liked to doodle. Boy, was I wrong. After years of personal growth and both of us chasing our respective dreams, I got the opportunity to interview him. I now recognize Ky Williams as a daring and overly-talented […]
As the title states, this article is riddled with spoilers. If you don’t like that, but are still interested in seeing the movie, check out Ferdosa’s spoiler-free review here and the trailer here! You’ve been warned. At the beginning of the movie, Annie (Toni Collete) gives a eulogy for her late mother describing her as strange and off-putting. When Annie […]
Back in late March, I had the paycheck to go to DC’s Awesomecon for the third time. This is the only con I’ve been to, but each time it’s been a different experience and these different experiences make it all so much more compelling for me to return next year. But why should I keep these experiences all to myself? […]

While everyone is excited, no one is really ready for Avengers: Infinity War; those who say they are just lying to themselves. On March 1, the third installment of the beloved Avengers series got bumped up a week early from May 4 to April 27. While I would have preferred it to come out May 4 because that’s when the […]
