Analysis of The Spectacular Spider-Man and The Fairly Odd Parents

The author of “The Birth of Spider-Man”, Max Bruno, and the author of “Stan Lee and Spider-Man”, Simmi Patel, both present their information about Spider Man differently and similarly through their purposes, points of views, and facts chosen.

t the end of the movie, Spiderman defeats the Green Goblin and enforces the motto that good triumphs over evil. This film conveys to the audience that it stands for honorable values such as strength, courage and love, as these are the ideals Spiderman stands for. However, the ending of the film also authenticates the notion that sometimes to overcome evil, the good guy must pay a price. This is evidenced in the last scene when Peter makes a brave and noble choice to say goodbye to his true love, Mary Jane. He knows that if he stays with her she may be in danger, so he sacrifices his desire for a future with her for her safety.

Media is everywhere. Television, newspaper, cell phones, movies, as well as numerous other sources. Today, just about everyone depends on information and communication to keep their lives moving through daily activities. We need to be aware that the values we hold, the beliefs we harbor and the decisions we make are based on our assumptions, our experiences, our education and what we know for a fact. Mass media is relied on for the current news and facts about what is important and what we should be aware of. Media is considered a trustworthy source for news, information, education and entertainment. Though someone has to have thought behind an issue to write it.

In the movie, “The Amazing Spider-Man,” the director uses the archetypes, The Battle of Good vs Evil, The Hero, The Tyrant, The Warrior, Sidekicks, and The Forest. We as humans, will not find our confidence in ourselves for a long time because bravery is a hard thing to accomplish and is a difficult task to do by yourself. This theme is conveyed throughout the entire movie because people need to step up and face the evil that could await them if they don’t find the confidence from what makes the person the person. Spider-Man was shown to be a nerdy high schooler who doesn’t make many friends. He gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains powers that nobody would have ever imagined. Everything about him changed which made him fight evil

The director maximized the audiences’ feelings by using a slow motion skill while she was falling down to the floor and looking up the Spider-man, with her miserable eyes. At a moment of his web caught her body, her body dropped down on the ground and died. Finally, the Spider-man defeated the enemies and then coming down to the ground to check whether she was alive or not. At this moment, I thought that the director and editor intentionally deleted all background music to make audiences only hear his narrative telling to her. I only could hear him sobbing loudly and he was upset and expressing his deep grief due to the tragic circumstance. Personally, I did not cry with her death, but I realized something about hero’s tragedy that the hero could not keep his love forever. Through her death, she might be a symbol to the Spider-man that just because he saved people, it did not mean that he is a savior of all people, including Gwen. In that perspective, Peter Parker is the protagonist and eventually Gwen's death was about how it affected our hero, but inside of that, they were able to produce the characters with real activity. Peter returned to home depressed and empty. He threw away his Spider-man uniform and mask for a long time. He talked with his aunt about how to move on from death and he visited Gwen’s grave almost obsessively when every season passes. I found the part where she falls was countless and it had a higher quality than the rest of the movie

The mass media consists of any means of communication that has the ability to reach a large amount of people. The term ‘media’ can refer to movies, television, the newspaper, etc. It is because of it’s ability to out reach to a mass quantity of people that it is able to “reinforce and teach societal values.” At a young age, socialization occurs in that it involves the “learning of the values and the norms of society” and adopting them into their own personal values (Perse, 2001.) Children often have little life experience so they learn and imitate their environment whether that be the characters on television or societal institutions like their families or teachers at school. Adolescents are more susceptible to socialization in that they are at a period in which they are trying to find

Mass media is communication that reaches a large audience. This includes television, advertisement, the Internet, newspapers, and so on. Mass media is a significant effect in modern culture in America. It creates ideas and sustained within society not only send ideological messages out to the public but to advertise this ideas which are tend to manipulate our mantalities.

Being the hero that he is, Spider-Man decides to save both the children and Mary-Jane. A large battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin ensues, with the Green Goblin’s eventual death, and Spider-Man’s massive injuries being the result. Spider-Man finally defeats the enemy, in his final ordeal, saving New York from cold-blooded villainy for a while. Therefore, by completing, undergoing, and overcoming extremely difficult tasks such as battling with the enemy and saving the ones he loves, the film Spider-Man shows that it is part of the quest archetype.

In my everyday life I use all sorts of media, they range from cable television, Internet, radio, and the newspaper. For myself media, is the form and technology I use to receive and communicate information. The different forms of media I was trying to avoid were cable television, the internet and radio. I figured if I could avoid those things I would be doing well in avoiding most obvious forms of mass media. What I realized as I began this whole experience this whole experience is that the mass media is an important if not the most important part of my everyday life. I use it for almost everything I do and it surrounds me.

Media is defined as any form of communication; however, the term is mainly used for television, radio, and the Internet. “Regardless of the form it takes, media holds the power to construct and reflect our own sense of identity, in both affirmative and detrimental ways” (199). In American society, the media makes many assumptions based on gender, race, and religion that directly affects how people in a society view each other.

To start out we will talk about Spider Man. A struggling teenager who had been bite by a radioactive spider. He was so shocked and surprised as well as flabbergasted. When his uncle ben was killed by a burglar which peter accepts responsibility for him dying cause he would of never been there if it was not for him wanting to go to that fight. So he took personal responsibility and train using his newfound powers vowing to put Cash Register Thief (later known as sandman) behind bars like he should of in the first place when peter saw him robbing the convenience store. He struggles through trying to find him but his self-efficacy helps him through life because he believes

When asked what makes the character of Spider-Man so popular, most people would probably say that it is due to his relatability. Peter Parker is just a kid, like all of us are or were, and that instantly makes him accessible to a wide audience. However, I never thought about that when I was a child. I grew up on the Sam Raimi films, which I still hold near and dear to my heart. I suppose I wasn’t smart enough at the time to realize the massive appeal of the Spider-Man character. For me, Spider-Man was just cool because of his colorful costume and his amazing powers. I was just a kid who loved awesome superheroes, and Spidey checked that box. Having graduated high school and preparing for college, I am now more aware of subtleties and nuances in film, while still retaining that childlike excitement for massive blockbusters. I have been anticipating the latest Spidey film for a very long time, and upon viewing the film twice, I’ve realized a glorious truth. For the first time in my life, at the age of 18, I finally related to the character on a deeper level than I ever thought possible, and that is what makes this film shine.

The agents of socialization discussed above (family, school, and peer group) are all involved in interactive and personal contact. Mass media on the other had are various impersonal modes of communication intended for large audiences (e.g., radio, television, motion pictures, newspapers). Mass media can have an enormous effect on our attitudes and behavior. The media influence socialization by providing additional and alternative role models as well as social norms and values. It appears that most influential mass medium today is television. A positive view of television is that it provides an excellent medium of instruction and an entertaining way of expanding the horizons of children by exposing them to places and events they may not be able to experience first hand. The negative view of television is that it makes children more passive and less likely to use their imagination; it stresses the unrealistic nature of many

Media influence is the force by which ideas are injected into people’s lives shaping the very culture of society. This influence is masqueraded through hidden media message, resulting in a change in its audience which can be positive or negative, abrupt or gradual, short term or long term. Although mass media’s influential effect can reach a wide ranged audience as an agent of socialization the responsibility to contain what it releases has not been of importance. “The media’s socially significant obligations are formally ignored.” (A.S. Zapesotskii, 2011, p 9). Media messages can be exerted through many different outlets such as TV shows, music, movies, commercials, news, magazines, games which are all gravitated to entertain audiences ultimately offering personal gratification that can sometimes blur the lines between reality and

Mass media is a media intended for a large audience. It may take the form of broadcast media, as in the case of television and radio, or print media, like newspapers and magazines. Internet media can also attain mass media status, and many media outlets maintain a web presence to take advantage of the ready availability of Internet in many regions of the world. Some people also refer to it as the “mainstream media,” referencing the fact that it tends to stick to prominent stories which will be of interest to a general audience, sometimes ignoring controversial breaking news. Many people around the world rely on this form of media for news and entertainment, and globally, it is a huge industry.
