Analysis Of The Avengers : Age Of Ultron, By Richard J. Gray

The idea that girls can be just as strong as men is doubled when Michelle Rodriguez and Demi Lovato are both able to do anything they set their mind to, specifically exposing the bad guy. While Demi shows some of the typical ideas of femininity, such as wearing revealing clothing and makeup, it does not decrease the strength of the original message whatsoever. Demi and Michelle are confident, as they should be, of their bodies and abilities, and prove that even beautiful females can display strength and confidence, even if it may not be the norm in today’s

In Hollywood film women 's roles have varied quiet considerably between genres, geographical placement, and period settings. These factors contribute to the different representations of women 's roles in the film they are present in. The roles are diverse going from the traditional maternal role to that of manipulative murderer. Women 's roles in movies can be almost equal to the male roles, and the co-stars are not given the majority of the acclaims just because they are male. Society has set certain standards that women are supposed to follow. The most common image of women is that they are very passive and try to avoid conflict in any situation. More and more in society women are breaking down the social barriers that confine them to their specific roles. The films Rear Window and Resident Evil show women in roles that are untraditional for our society. These two movies help to show how women are rebelling against social norms and that they are taking more active and aggressive roles. In film noir’s we can see women represented as the femme fatale, a woman whose mysterious and seductive charms leads men into compromising or dangerous situations. In action movies we see the heroine who is strong both physically and mentally, and has the ability to use weapons. Women seem to be more trapped than men because they are supposed to live up to society’s standards dealing with beauty and size, which are more physical characteristics. These specific guidelines have been set by

“I always thought that if I could pull off great boots [...] that would make me happy. But the hair gets in my face, the boots pinch… and this leotard is giving me an epic wedgie.” Ms. Marvel in No Normal and Generation Why defies “the typical oversexualization and damsel in distress archetype of women in comics.” (Sujei Lugo, Boston Public Library) Ms. Marvel is not depicted similar to how women are depicted in other comics. Kamala Khan’s costume and wardrobe—especially her costume and what she decides to wear—is anything but typical. When Kamala Khan decides to “run around JC all powered up,” she realizes that she needs a costume. After finally acknowledging the costume, Kamala’s first words to Ammi upon arriving at home are “Ammi! Where’s

The author was happy for the change of pace from dark and brooding comic based films, however they felt it did revert back to it at the climax of the movie. Another professional, Angelica Baston, said that the film was very well done and brought Wonder Woman into a good standing not only as a good superhero movie but also a very good feminist movie in general. The two professional reviews saw the film as good, that it made superhero movies better. But the amatuer reviews, while not as wordy, tended to state the same beliefs that it was a good film. One review from audience member, Michael S, said “Completely charming, wondrous, lovingly crafted, and even progressive in the way it tackles dark, violent subject matter seriously as a backdrop to what are more traditional superheroics.” Another amateur, Delania B, says “Different from any other film based on DC Comics, Wonder Woman exemplifies the power one woman can have on the world.” She thought the film was amazing and had a similar view to Angelica Baston. All of the reviwers, professional and amatuer, had views on the film that coincided. In society we will look at both. The professional, for how the film was by film standards, and the amatuer for the personal standards. In reality, the only parts of the original definition that are still relevant are being either “selected among the ten best films of the year by either the New York Times or the National Board of Review, or [being] among the top ten

Steven English - 2A April 29, 2015 The comic book industry normally was ran by mostly male main characters, with female sidekicks, backups, or they weren't even included at all. The premier of the comic book series “Black Widow”, helped influence the women’s rights movements by inspiring them to fight for themselves and was said to have been a fighting icon to women in her time. Marvel created Black Widow, more specifically Don Rico, Don Hek, and

Along with the increasing awareness of female empowerment in our society, the pubic is now experiencing a boost of heroine characters in films, literary works, and all types of media. Characters like Wonder Woman, Black Widow, and Katniss Everdeen win the public’s hearts because of their bravery and strength, just like typical male protagonists always have. However, what makes them special is that they still possess feminine traits like beauty, kindness, and softness. Modern heroines usually have these common characteristics. However, there is no lack of precedence in this connection.

The Black Widow has changed her look over the years, such as her hair, and her iconic black skin-tight uniform. The Black Widow maintains popularity by changing her look and modernizing with real

The introduction of more female roles in visual media highlights the importance of these visual character cues. It is obvious that while these symbols exist for men and have existed for centuries, there are no equivalents to make a female’s character stand out within moments of her appearance on screen. This emphasises the convenience and significance of facial hair as a symbol, as well as bringing forth an issue within visual culture, as similar symbols have yet to be found for the female counterparts of each of the character types explored within this

They are who we would depend on if our fantasies were a reality. They are Marvel’s one and only Avengers. The Avengers were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to compete with DC comics Justice League. The Avengers consists of; Captain America, Iron Man, Wasp, Ant Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, and Spiderman. Out of all these heroes I believe I am like Captain America: he is loyal, stands his ground, and defends the rights of others. I am like Steve Rogers.

I was thinking of using Katniss and The Hunger Games to examine, but with this topic I can use almost any female main character in the text we read. When I search fro new mangas to read, I look for this word called “gender blender” in the category section. As can tell by the term, it means that there are characters who genders seem mixed in the manga. That’s how I find the more “masculine,” “strong,” and actually logical female characters. These characters just get mistaken as guys a lot or even pretending to be a guy. Then on the other end of the spectrum, there’s the over sexualization of strong female characters. Like how Katniss in the movie is pretty hot to how Granny suddenly being attractive. There seem to be a correlation of acknowledgment of badassness to how attractive a women is. Even though she’s smart and strong and whatever, there has to be a plus of hotness. The characters are usually really hot or mistaken as a

In a society dominated by male superheroes, it is not that often that a female character is able to step forward and defend the world. There have been quite a few female superheroes throughout the ages of popular culture, including the Canadian Marvel super-heroine, Aurora ("Marvel"), and DC Comic's character, Black Canary (Kanigher, and Infantino). Yet for every one female superhero that is encountered, there are at least a dozen more male superheroes to stand around—and often in front of—her. Even more frustratingly, the female superheroes are often merely there to be the gendered counterpart to the much more powerful, dominant male superheroes. There have been few women who have stood out as being independent, admirable sources of

The Incredible Hulk is a fiction movie released on June 8, 2008. The movie was produced by Marvel Studios and Valhalla Motion Pictures. The film took place mostly in Toronto, Canada. The director of the movie is Louis Leterrier. The movie is about a person named Bruce Banner who transforms into a beast called the Hulk, a huge green monster with a muscular body. The transformation is caused by a disease that contaminated Banner’s cells. The transformation happens whenever Banner gets angry. However, the anger goes away when the Hulk sees that there is no danger around him. The anger goes away whenever his love, Betty Ross touches him. Banner searches the world to find a cure for his disease, but the military keeps blocking his way because they want his power to create an army just like the Hulk. New threats appear trying to use the masculinity in order to achieve whatever needed. In addition, the Hulk faces his nemesis called The Abomination. It is also a green monster that literally has similar powers as the Hulk. The Hulk character embodies a larger tension with our culture’s relation to masculinity. On one hand, it condemns the destruction and violence associated with masculinity, and on the other, it celebrates it. The film can be viewed as having mixed messages for boys because it provides unrealistic masculinity that represents good and bad manners.

In the long legacy of DC comics there are two female archetypes who couldn 't be more different: one is a paragon of virtue and one is a psychopath. One has an abusive relationship with an insane criminal that defines her identity; the other encourages women and girls to fight for their independence. One has decades of historical canon and an inception full of purpose; the other was meant to be a one-off and a short amusement in a kids ' cartoon, but exploded into a phenomenon. Despite their many differences, they are both beloved the world over. They hold constant interest for fans over the years and, for many women, both mark milestones of feminism. To understand this phenomenon more we will take a closer look at the characters of

In Marvel’s Avengers Age of Ultron, the main antagonist is Ultron, this villain is an artificial intelligence program that the film’s characters: Tony Stark and Bruce Banner created. Tony thought it would be wise to have some help, saving the world is difficult task so he created the Iron Legion, which was a group of robots who would assist the Avengers on their various missions. Tony and Bruce tried to create something more powerful, but their attempts failed. After the Avengers successfully obtained Loki’s scepter after one of their recent missions, Tony and Bruce began studying the scepter and the source of its power. Tony found the key that would aid them in creating the program. Stark explained to Bruce that this world, “This vulnerable

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is an amazing work looked through the religious concept of belief. In his book, Malory Nye mentions Richard Gombrich’s theory of cognitive and affective beliefs. Nye explains that “one major aspect of cognitive approaches is the attempt to understand human actions (including religion and religious beliefs) with reference to the scientific study of the human brain” (Nye 2008, 110). In short, cognitive is what we believe in, what we think and affective is what we do, our act (Nye 2008, 110). This theory can be wonderfully used to analyze Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2. At the very beginning of the film, Nebula is very strong on her point that she hates Gamora and her father and wishes to murder both. She expresses
