We give our review, breakdown, and discussion on The Creator, the new science fiction film from Gareth Edwards.

In comic book mythology, an origin story is an account that reveals how a character gained their powers and the circumstances under which they became a protagonist or antagonist. In nerd culture, every person has an origin story that set them down the path of being a lifelong nerd. These are their stories.
