Big Impacts On My Childhood

One of the most important heroes would be my parents. They have done so many things for me, the’ve gave me food, clothes, and a place to live. I remember that we lived with my three uncles in a trailer because we had no other place to live. I would sleep in a little bed with my mom when I was born, and my dad would sleep in another bed. There were only two rooms so we were really crowded. That is really sad, imagine yourself living with three men that were really gross, like I mean gross. But I was still a happy kid.

There’s no question that the battle between comic book companies will never end. But nothing stands out more than the feud between Marvel and DC. With both companies, having their ups and downs, we can only compare whose moment is now, and whose moment is coming. With character development and storylines are too opinionated to compare, like comparing an apple with an orange, we can only judge on who’s making more money.

The tendency for us to want of need heroes and villains impacts us dramatically in a number of ways. Firstly, the heroes that we have, especially as children, do affect us dramatically in our behaviour towards others and views on ourselves. One of the major problems with this is that we don't choose the right people to idolised a lot of the time, which in turn reflects on our societal values needing to be deeply questioned. Take a sports star, for example. A huge number of children will grow up having a sports star or stars affecting their attitudes and values. These athletes can no doubt have some very positive impacts, as many of them come from poverty or tough circumstances. It's these athletes that give children in similar situations hope.

The superhero films was once unheard of by people but the genre has moved to a mainstream audience over time and has gained huge profits by the films that are created. This genre has been on the rise since 1940s when the comics on batman originally came out. Popular stars are always willing to play the main protagonist in the film in order to increase chances of profit. They also need an eye-catching marketing campaign to draw in a new audience by trailers, posters, adverts, sponsors.

“I wish I could be a hero!” Many adults in today’s society hear small children wishing they could become heroes. Children wish to be more like heroes for the reason that heroes are the type of people who risk their lives to help others. Throughout history, children have had a positive connotation with the word “hero.” The heroes many small children talk about are the fictional ones who protect cities from villains: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and others. However, these are not the only types of heroes in today’s world. Firefighters and policemen are also considered heroes because they save the lives of those in danger. Many adults consider their inspirations to be heroes, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin

Have you ever been inspired by a hero because our technology today can make anybody a hero in an instant and can be applied today without much thought. We need to evaluate what it takes to be a hero and how they affect us. Heroes inspire us to improve our lives and make us a better person. Evidence suggests they determine the way we behave because we admire, adore, emulate them, place them in high regard and respect their accomplishments. Their qualities of courage, selflessness, humility, patience, caring, passion, integrity, honesty and confidence are all attributes that we all posses but it is whether we use them or not.

Heroes care not only for themselves, but for others. In the White House Funeral Sermon for Abraham Lincoln, “...not for himself only, not for us only, but for all people in all their coming generations till time shall be no more…” This means that President Lincoln took risks not to ensure his safety but to make sure that he would be known as a doer. Lincoln knew that what he was doing would revolutionize the way not only the way his generation would live but all future ones. This showed that he cared not only for himself but for people he would never get the pleasure of meeting. Back in World War II a true hero was born. One of the bloodiest battles of WWII, Hacksaw Ridge, was lucky to have Desmond Doss as a part of their medical team. He saved 75 people. Most in which others had left behind, for they thought that they weren’t saving. He cared about every single one making it back to base to be helped despite who was after him. Or even in the 9/11 boatlift many heroes stepped up to the plate. Vincent Ardolino, Captain of the Amberjack V,

Everyone faces battles in their life; the key is to never lose yourself and always try to be there for other people. Heroes who sacrifice their time and energy for others despite their on the problem. When I consider a heroic person I quickly consider someone who is strong, cunning, incredible looking, and overcome. The will to endeavor the worst of conditions is an overlooked quality of a legend. A person can be a hero for saving the life of one or of millions of lives. These legends are authentic dream figures for children. Children are incredibly fascinated with superheroes since they handle such endeavors as troublesome voyages, challenges with legendary mammoths, discovering lost a fortune, and changing the method for the world through

Having built an empire on which the marketing sun never sets, Marvel should now be facing audience fatigue—how many stories of superheroes can this world bear?

B. Relevance: Have any of you seen a Spider-Man movie? What about Thor or Iron Man? Very few of us in this room can say we have not seen an action packed Marvel movie at least once. Since its humble beginnings in 1939, Marvel has revolutionized not only the comic book world, but also set the bar incredibly high for all potential superhero movies. Marvel is completely relevant to the yearly cinema culture we find ourselves in the midst of, and continues to grow in popularity.

But are they really? Of course not. Regardless of how great the two corporations are, a decision on who is best must be made. And it is obvious that the throne belongs to DC. Marvel is an impeccable rival; however, it needs a little work in the areas of character fluidity and getting complete international attention. All around DC is intriguing to any fan of comics who watches. The background story of the characters emotionally traps readers and viewers alike, the influence of its characters on real life people is obvious through reviews and expectations, and the audience's intake around the world is more favorable towards DC. In fact, when just searching the word “superhero” on Google, the definition states “benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers, such as Superman”. It contains the most popular and best known DC character Superman! Taking the poll outside of my own personal opinion I asked a handful of people who they felt was the better company. A middle aged woman reported that “DC has won me over because the new Batman vs Superman movie made me cry!” A peer of mine suggests that Marvel is better due to the “looks of the characters and their charisma”. However, my favorite response (maybe because I am biased) “DC is better because the connection between the viewers and the characters is real. It’s just too real.” The intake of these responses only sealed my opinion in believing that DC

Heroes have many goals and many challenges, but whether they are successful or not is a whole different story. Always trying their best to achieve their certain goal and risking to help others is what heroes live for. For example, during the attacks of 9/11, boat drivers such as were rescuing people from the island of Manhattan in New York. There were thousands upon thousands of people, but with enough support, the boat drivers were able to rescue everybody. Vincent Ardolino, one of the boat drivers during the 9/11 boatlift, said in the documentary “Boatlift” that he tells his children to “never go through life saying you should have. If you want to do something, do it.” This mindset is what all heroes should adopt for the future. These people may not have the most difficult job in the world, but they carry out small challenges with a lot of passion. Likewise, were the heroes during Hurricane Harvey and Irma, two very devastating Hurricanes that have costed the USA many lives. Many people from outside of the area have done countless things to help like rescue people with their boats, donate money, and help rebuild. Many of these heroes have risked their lives and struggled on for the greater good.

Marvel’s success is not a fluke because its business model is sustainable. Marvel’s new strategy monetized the content library by licensing characters for use with media products. During an era in which mass media is very important in people’s life, only one media tool, publishing, is not strong enough to expand Marvel’s influence to consumers. Comic books can target a very limited market, mostly composed of male teenagers and young adults from 13 to 23 years old. It is

Guardians Of The Galaxy and Doctor Strange were projected to fail by almost every critic(ComicBookCast2, 2016). Almost everyone had never heard of Guardians Of The Galaxy except the hard core fans of the comics(Weekend Warrior, 2016). Kevin Feige wanted to push the idea of expanded universe and the only way he wanted to do it was Guardians Of The Galaxy(Weekend Warrior, 2016). Guardians Of The Galaxy had a lot of crazy aspect that gets dive into to, but it somehow breaks all expectation and it succeeds far more than it has been(ComicBookCast2, 2014). Guardians Of The Galaxy has extraordinary characters that is relatable, such as Drax and Peter Quill. Drax is trying to avenge his family that was killed by Ronan the Accuser, and Peter Quill regrets not saying goodbye to his mother right before she died(ComicBookCast2, 2014). These two characters have something in common, which is they both have burden placed on their lives(Menard, 2014). They both can’t shake the feeling of what has been done, and they both blame themselves

Marvel has always made creative comics, shows, movies, and other forms of entertainment. However The company is not the only creative entity that manipulates the characters, Marvel fans have been equally creative. Fans create fan fiction stories, fan art, reviews, fan videos, reaction videos and cosplay to give the Marvel company its claim to fame. The Marvel Cinematic fan page is not only collective information of news on marvel ,but a fan page to its fans showing their work. The page ranges from cosplay days (do it yourselves), to news about the movies/shows coming out, memes, fan videos and fan art. Marvel is already popular with dedicated fans, but what makes this page special is that we share fans art work from different sites. We also
