Comparing Flash And Dc's Legends Of Tomorrow

The Flash expresses the rhetorical appeal of pathos in many ways through the main character, Barry Allen. For example, as the Flash, Barry Allen experiences many emotions as he lives through both worlds. As the Flash, Barry Allen has the main goal of protecting his city by defeating the people that cause danger, he thrives to protect the people of his city and never gives up. Barry lives the life as a superhero and a normal citizen, he is trampled by many emotions. As the Flash, Barry feels

Diversity, Stereotypes, and Representation Diversity is not common in the field of animation. This leaves many character designs being made up with the same formula which consists of skinny conventionally attractive characters with light skin and light eyes. Something many companies fail to understand is that when creativity is concerned, not only is it good to be diverse but it is essential for the representation of minority groups. Having a cast with a diverse and culturally rich set of characters in a project also benefits the look and feel of a story.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a… black Superman? With the representation of all identities growing in different forms of media, superhero comic books have picked up this trend and have begun to introduce characters with diverse backgrounds. Due to the previously mentioned occurrence, readers of different creeds, sexual orientation, and ethnicities are being introduced to the world of superheroes. With this new trend, many questions arise concerning the impact and necessity of underrepresentation and fairness. How have superhero comic books widened their depiction of underrepresented communities, and what role does history play on the characters of comic books? More specifically, how have Marvel and DC Comics been affected by history, and

Over the years television has been known to be one of the major educating and socializing institution in America. Television in today’s society is able to play a powerful key through which individuals can be informed, hold forums, and voice their opinion‘s. Television is also important because it offers us glimpses into minority life and minority figures. When sociologists examine minorities in television they document how minorities are portrayed and how those portrayals have changed over the years. Through time, minorities in television have been able to make moderate gains whether they are in front of or behind cameras. However, they continue to remain significantly underrepresented as leading actors in films, as writers, and as TV show creators. Even though minorities are significantly underrepresented in today’s society the TV industry has been pushing to give an opportunity to many minority groups in succeeding in the media. Several TV shows and commercials have succeeded in the TV industry to try and change how minorities are underrepresented, however, there are also shows that reinforce stereotypes and are prejudice towards minorities.

The most well known Superheroes from the DC universe are probably Batman and Superman. Many times, hardcore DC comic book fans dispute over who the better superhero is. Many like Batman for his gadgets and others for his looks, while others like Superman for his powers and abilities. I would personally say that Superman is the more capable and better Superhero.

To start off we’ll begin with Campbell’s first stage of the Hero’s Journey. According to his theory, the story must begin where the hero was once normal. To define normal regarding the Flash, the Flash would have had to be someone who existed without any powers, living a regular citizens’ life, and oblivious of the adventures to come. So before Barry became known as the Flash, he was first known as Barry Allen. Barry valued family, justice, and the safety of everyone. He was a regular citizen who worked for Central City’s police department as a Police scientist, too. With the following being stated, we can conclude Barry was already a hero before his special powers. First, Barry is working to fight justice as an employee of Central City’s police department. Secondly, he enjoys fighting for justice in general. And lastly, considering Barry’s personality and values he isn’t selfish for power, disrespectful, dishonest, and greedy like most villain characters. However, according to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey process, Barry

Television and film is a huge part of American culture. As the “face” of America changes, it is expected for our media to reflect it. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Since the beginning of film, minorities have been misrepresented and underrepresented. While there has been a significant increase in minority actors since the beginning of film, there is still a huge underrepresentation present in American television and film. Our media needs to reflect out diverse country. This topic is always important and relevant because race, gender, and sexuality, in general, have been issues throughout the growth of television and film. Even today, minorities are subject to

The network won’t take that gamble right now…” (Kaplan). Although the show is a progressive step towards minorities in media, the dramatic stereotypes of the characters harms the identities in Asian Americans.

To illustrate, shows like Black-ish and Empire, with their predominantly African-American casts, would not be able to tell the unique stories being told with a cast of all Caucasian actors. Another excellent show that uses diversity correctly is Master of None, a Netflix original series. Master of None is a relationship comedy that takes place in New York City; Aziz Ansari, an Indian-American comedian, plays the lead, Dev. What makes this show noteworthy, however, is the fact that unlike most television series, Dev is not an exaggerated stereotype. Lavanya Ramanathan, a reporter for the Washington Post, said it best when she stated, “What’s extraordinary about Master of None is that its protagonist is a person of color who’s simply, normal” (Ramanathan). He is able to provide a new perspective, but at the same time he does not make himself seem unrelatable; furthermore, the show addresses this topic by reminding the audience that viewers are able to relate to anthropomorphic animals; thus, the audience surely can relate to people of

Marvel vs. DC comics is a battle that began in the early 90’s and has never ceased since. Both gaining an abundant amount of recognition from fans worldwide. From little toddlers to fully grown adults, the numbers continue to spread like wildfire. However, what are the major similarities and differences between both comics? The similarity is that, both incorporated all heroes in one setting, attempted to focus on different genres that disregarded superheroes, and started developing heroes again by adding more personal issues to the comics. For differences, Marvel was set on real world locations while those in DC were more fictional and Marvel heroes developed powers overtime while those in DC were originally born with abilities. These reasoning’s stated above, depict crucial differences between both companies while also providing their similarities which fuse them together.

The character that I saw as the most powerful and the character that was most looked up to by several people was Superman. He was obviously considered the most powerful being before Doctor Manhattan was introduced in Watchmen. Superman has several powers which include superhuman strength, x-ray vision and he is also able to fly. They have several differences such as Doctor Manhattan has lost most of his humanity and Superman is not even a human but he is trying to form a connection with his humanity. Although there is a part of the comic where Doctor Manhattan is looking into a mirror and says “ sometimes I look at myself and think how did things get so tangled up.” ( Moore and Gibbons 3:10) I think that the mistakes that people make is what makes us more human and this is the small piece of humanity that Doctor Manhattan still contains.

The main similarity they both poses is they can run at superhuman speeds. Although, one of them is slightly faster than the other their powers allow them to do similar things like running up buildings and across the water. They are both able to resist the air friction, reduced oxygen and kinetic impact they face when they run at super speeds. Another similarity both poses is their increased healing and fast metabolism, with their rapid healing factor they can take a hit which comes in hand for them in battle. Both of these heroes are also part of teams who help each other in battle. The Flash is in the Justice League consisting or Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow and many others, and Quicksilver is in the Avengers who is made up primarily of Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black

he most common criticism is that minorities are often not treated with the same depth as straight, white, male characters. Take Dani Moonstar, code-named Mirage, for example. A Cheyenne member of the New Mutants spin-off of the X-Men, Mirage was originally seen by many readers as first a painful stereotype, then

Oliver vows that every person on his father’s list will wish he too had died on that island. Similar to the first episode of Arrow, The Flash has it’s first episode named Pilot as well. It begins with a flashback to when Barry Allen’s, the main character, mom is killed in an unexplainable event and his dad is convicted of her murder… which Barry believes to be untrue. Now, 14 years later, Barry works for Central City C.S.I and is quite good at his job. On one particular night a particle accelerator, created by Harrison Wells and was supposed to change the way everyone thought about physics, exploded releasing an unimaginable amount of dark energy. Lightning then struck Barry, which put him in a coma for nine months. After waking up, Barry began to notice certain things were slowing down… or so he thought. In reality, he was just moving unexplainably fast. When a man named Clyde Martin that can inexplicably control the weather starts terrorizing the city, Barry takes it upon himself to take him down. He speaks with Oliver Queen for advice, Barry knows Oliver is the Arrow, and Oliver tells him that he can inspire people the way he himself never could. Barry then takes on Clyde Martin head on and defeats him. The storylines between the two shows are similar because they both begin by showing what made the two heroes and what made them who they are stemmed from former accidents.
