Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: An Analysis

The “New Man” as described by Ken Gillam and Shannon R. Wooden in Post Princess Models of Gender: The New Man in Disney/Pixar explains the way in which men are portrayed in children's films today and how that varies from older films. Contrasting this “New Man” are all the dangerous and traditional men Michael S. Kimmel describes in Gender, Class and Terrorism because these men are “uber macho males” as explained by Gillam and Wooden. Pixar’s “New Man” definition has evolved from the original definition of what it means to be male and have masculine qualities which escapes the rhetoric of masculinity(a term coined by Kimmel) which if incorporated into modern society would lessen negative events that happen in the world. When speaking of negative events that covers all damaging behavior that comes from following what C.J. Pascoe explains in “‘Dude, You’re a Fag”: Adolescent Masculinity and the Fag Discourse”. In Pascoe’s work he describes the way in which men treat each other to diminish each other's manhood.

Many comic books that are made into films have men playing the key roles, yet some comic books adapted to the big screen have female’s playing roles of importance. Since these movies are mainly guided for the viewing of men, the female characters are typically very attractive. In The Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of its main characters is Black Widow, played by actress Scarlett Johansson. In Richard J. Gray II’s article titled “Vivacious Vixens and Scintillating Super Hotties” he created a definition of a superheroines “hotness.” Looking at Black Widow and Gray’s idea of “hotness” we will break down the character and see if she passes Gray’s hotness test. Before we can begin, the key term “hotness” must be defined, “as it applies within the context of the representation of the new millennial superheroine, is a delicate balance between sex appeal and physical strength” (Gray, 2011). The balance needed to be achieved in order to classify Black Widow as having this “hotness” will require her character to be broken down into her sex appeal and also the physical strength she displays throughout the movie.

Mass media is a microsystem that influence on a person’s values, beliefs, attitudes, and behavior. Mass media is a form of communication that is viewed by large audiences through medium such as TV, newspaper, book, and internet. Television is the most influential form of media and the way it has impacted on children’s lives. The two children television show that I will be discussing is The Spectacular Spider-Man and The Fairly OddParents. We will look at it content and the hidden message that these two television show is conveying to young children.

The Hulk, Ironman, and Capitan America; these are some of Marvel’s greatest heroes, but have you ever wondered how Marvel was created?

Marvel’s 2015 movie run may have just recently come to a close with the release of Ant-Man, but there’s still another four years’ worth of comic-inspired films in the works. Here’s a list of the five movies we’re anticipating most, with headliners who you might not have heard of before.

Director Matthew Vaughn has a very accomplished track record; Kick-Ass is a breath of fresh air amid the abundance of Marvel superhero flicks, X-Men: First Class is a hugely entertaining romp that serves as the franchise’s finest, and Stardust, despite being rarely mentioned, is a competent and non-formulaic addition to the fantasy genre. You can imagine my disappointment, then, at Kingsman: The Secret Service, a spy caper devoid of any heart or wit that we have come to expect of the director.

Topic: The speech that I had the opportunity to observe was called “The Big Questions of the Force Awakens,” which was given by David Johnson. The speech talked about some of the major questions and criticisms left by the movie as well as some philosophical topics that were thought to be discussed in the movie.

As the thrill and nostalgia for Western films fizzled out, the appeal of space travel became the forefront of interest among movie goers. Joss Whedon’s short lived show Firefly depicted life in the world 500 years into the future after a civil war between the galactic government known as the Alliance, and the rebel forces known as the Browncoats. Whedon’s film Serenity, is a continuation of the show that follows Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his crew. The film falls into the space western genre, and Malcolm Reynolds displays characteristics of a futuristic cowboy. Unlike the television series, the film gives background to Miranda, a utopian city where River Tam was taken by the Alliance for her training, however it is more so a dystopian

One of the movies I am really excited for is Avenger infinity war because I really love action filled movies with superheroes. One of the movies i dislike is Star Wars because I consider it really boring, I gave a shot at one of the movies and fell a sleep half way through the movie. One of the film I am interested in watching is Annabelle Creations because I heard good reviews about and I also like the first Annabelle.

From the director of Rush Hour 1, 2 and 3, Brett Ratner brings the famous fictional comic book superhero crew, X-Men, to life. When a young mutant's extraordinary power is discovered and an unexpected visitor returns things take a change for the worse and the mutants have to battle against time to defeat the Phoenix before it can no longer be controlled. Both teams of mutants are fighting for Jean Grey's ( the Phoenix) amazing abilities, but which team will she join?

There are many differences and similarities in the movie, Clash of Titans, and the story ,

In Captain America: Civil War there is a very large problem that divides the Avengers. The issue is that the Avengers who have so far been checked only by their own moral codes and limitations are being asked to sign the Sokova Accords which would require the registration of heroes along with the subsequent monitoring and delegation of their actions. This is explained to the audience very well in the scene where the Avengers team as it stood then are talking about the accords and if they will sign them or not. The two sides of the movie are drawn here, with Steve Rogers/Captain America saying that the Avengers would then just become lackeys for the government who would them use them to further their own agendas, while Tony Stark/ Iron Man believes that signing the accords would benefit everyone and greatly increase the accountability of the Avengers. In short, this debate scene is introducing the theater audience to the issue and trying to get us to pick whether to support the accords or to not, this essay will analyze the appeals used by both parties.

"'It's classic villain. We've seen too much" (Hall & Williams, 2015). The movie Big Hero 6 tells the story of Hiro Hamada and his friends in the fictional city of San Fransokyo as they try to find the person that killed Hiro's brother, Tadashi. As the protagonist and hero of the story, Hiro Hamada grows into an individual ready to take on the world. Through the use of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey outline, Big Hero 6 shows how Hiro Hamada can be anyone's hero.

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.

Guardians of the galaxy starts off on Earth in the year 1988. Shortly after the death of his mother, young Peter Quill gets abducted by an alien space craft and thus enters Director James Gunn’s version of a marvel sci-fi action movie. Sci-fi films have been around since 1902 and became popular since then. With so much history in film, surely it could be said that any new movie is just borrowing elements from other films. In this essay, I will explore key movie concepts which have been repeated from similar films and explain how this marvel movie differs from others. I will also show how the marvel comics depicted the main characters as opposed to how the film changed them.
