Ryan Brewer, a Senior, is changing his major from General Studies to History. He's interested in making television, movies, and comics. "I came here just because my friends were coming here, didn't know what I wanted to do, realized the only things I was passionate about were movies, comics, and stories, so I said 'What do they have at Austin Peay?' which is why I started as a 'General Studies' because I had to Frankenstein a degree. I'll take a little bit of this and a little bit of that... I wanted to take [the class] Women in Film at Austin Peay because we have a lot of female characters that we've written [in comic books] that are inspired by the strong, independent, female protagonists like Wonder Woman]. Her character doesn't revolve around any kind of seduction. That's what inspired us... I took the [Women in Film] class because I wanted to see what they do right and what they do wrong. It's been kind of reassuring because so far we've kind of succeeded. Almost all of our characters have practical costumes. That was the first thing we wanted to do. She's a soldier, she's not going to go out there in a crop top to fight bad guys, she's going to wear armor!"
