Josh Trank's Fantastic Four

When the term “X-Men”, comes to my mind, I immediately deem of an individuals with their own unique abilities, lovable characters, their characteristics features, qualities, traits, aspects with cool special costumes. I’m sure of it, everyone gets the impression of the X-Men same way as I does. The X-Men are superheroes with the powers, fighting bad guys and making the world peaceful and standing up for what is right and fair. Am I correct? However, as I grew older, my conscience begin to comprehend that X-Men were more than the superheroes. They were born with an unique “gifts” that granted them superhuman strengths that makes them totally different from the rest of the normal people. We call them the “Mutant”. What is a Mutant?

Mark Bowden began writing the book in 96, three years after the Battle of the Black Sea within the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Bowden has written a book based on historical events, his past writings were journalism. He is not a historian and has no military exp. There are many differences between the movie Black Hawk Down, but there are many similarities within this story.

Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief contains many memorable and important characters -- Liesel Meminger, Rosa and Hans Hubermann, Rudy Steiner, and Max Vandenburg, to name a few. However, one character that is crucial to the plot (and to Liesel’s survival) is the long suffering mayor’s wife, Ilsa Hermann. Ilsa and Liesel meet for the first time when Liesel was picking up the washing. Ilsa, “who never spoke, simply stood in her bathrobe, her soft fluffy hair tied back into a short tail” turns out to be the person who saves Liesel from Death (Zusak 132).

6,000,000 Jews were killed in the Holocaust, more than the populations of Jamaica, Iceland, and Uruguay combined. While 6,000,000 Jews may have been killed or had their lives ruined, many were able to overcome adversity, escape their captors and live to tell the tale. Eva Schloss was able to survive in Auschwitz-Birkenau until the Russians captured it. Some children’s books tell great stories of how people dealt with the horrors of the Holocaust, and the innocence of children throughout the war. While it may be fiction, in The Book Thief Liesel Meminger and her family were able to hide a Jew in their home, and her father even gave bread to a Jew marching to Dachau.

Love is the most powerful force between two people. The Book Thief is written by Markus Zusak. The book takes place in Nazi Germany during World War II. A young girl, Liesel, went through very traumatic events and was sent to live with a foster family. In the beginning her foster mother, Rosa Hubermann, did not give much love to her. However her foster father, Hans Hubermann, was willing to give his love to Liesel and didn’t treat her any different that one of his children. Her foster family is doing the most forbidden act in Nazi Germany. They are hiding a Jew in their basement. Make summary longer. Many characters in the novel were healed through love, but three main characters that were healed were Liesel, Max, and Rudy. Markus Zusak wrote The Book Thief to show the

In Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Liesel Meminger physically develops from a young girl to a matured young adult while symbolically growing through her ability to read. At this point in the story Liesel has no voice and no freedom, therefore she cannot read. Later, Liesel is told she has to read in front of her class and is teased by Ludwig Schmeikl when she cannot read, symbolizing that she is still struggling with her past and where she fits into the world at this point. But as Liesel begins to learn how to read and write, her character also develops. She begins to be more understanding of other characters.

Subsequently, while most superhero plots involve an element of fantasy, the characters in Moore’s graphic novel are, for the most part, embedded into pessimistic version of reality with only lifelike traits. Obviously, the one glaring exception in Watchmen is Doctor Manhattan, who is transformed into a being capable of a number of otherworldly abilities. However, the other five heroes in the story are regular humans who take the initiative to aid in the protection of society. This is unlike most superheroes in previous comics, who are often blessed with a divine power that allows them to conquer all evil. Additionally, referring to the society in which Moore’s heroes are immersed in, it is situated in a location known to its readers, with a certain twist. While Superman has his Metropolis and Batman has his Gotham City, the six costumed adventurers are based in New York City, or more accurately, a filthy parody of it. The universe in which Moore sets his story is the closest to reality, with a hyperbolic emphasis on the evil in society, in which superheroes have been set it. Hence, the problems presented to the superheroes are not something to be combatted with fantastical talents, but more nuanced with realistic obstacles without a clear solution. In Watchmen, the imminent threat of nuclear war is a state of affairs that would have been realistic for readers, particularly during the time period of the graphic novel’s release in 1987. This, coupled with the urban violence

“Even death has a heart” (Zusak 242). Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief is a novel of love, death, and survival. This novel consists of the love of a parent, the death of a friend, and the survival for those who are strong willed. Many were not compatible with the traumatizing events throughout the history of World War II, resulting with population decreases. Zusak’s The Book Thief is a story, narrated by Death, of Liesel Meminger and all her accounts with death and how she coped through it all; her survival was all through words. Throughout the novel, Death repeatedly adds his own thoughts and feelings of Liesel and the events around him. The Book Thief makes readers realize the power that words can have; we as readers just have to pay attention

Frank Castle, a fictional character known as “The Punisher”, is infamous for his brutal ways of eliminating criminals. By some, he could be considered sinister, cold-hearted, and having lack of human emotion. But as I observed this character interact with the world around him, I find it nearly impossible not to wonder what made this character become who he is. Although criminals cause harm and suffering, it is human instinct to hesitate on inflicting pain on anyone. So how is it that this character has the ability to commit such horrific acts of violence on criminals as if it were second nature? As my observation of this character continued, it had come to my knowledge that Castle had gone through witnessing the monstrous murder of his entire

The Human Torch is the ultimate superhero because he has: a fearless personality, an amazing uniform that can withstand extreme heat, and an magnificent fiery superpower .

Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 film Inglourious Bastards entails a Jewish revenge fantasy that is told through a counterfactual history of events in World War II. However, this story follows a completely different plot than what we are currently familiar with. Within these circumstances, audiences now question the very ideas and arguments that are often associated with World War II. We believe that Inglourious Basterds is a Jewish revenge fantasy that forces us to rethink our previous understandings by disrupting the viewers sense of content and nature in the history of World War II. Within this thesis, this paper will cover the Jewish lens vs. American lens, counter-plots with-in the film, ignored social undercurrents, and the idea that nobody

Marvel Studios’ movies is like a path to travel on as an audience member (Menard, 2014, p. 28). Across a decade worth of films and tv shows, there has been a there has been more than 60 characters that the Marvel Studios universe contains (Menard, 2014, p. 54). There has been a lot of conflict and character development, because of the multiple events that happens in the other movies (ComicBookCast2,2016). There a lot of example of this happening, such as the new york event in The Avengers (ComicBookCast2,2016). The event in the Avengers spread into the Avengers, Iron man 3 Captain America: Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age

What make a good movie are a good storyline and its ability to make people laugh, to entertain, as well as its ability to utilize its characters fully throughout the movie. Hence, from Thor: Ragnarok experience, in the Marvel universe the best movie is on that the director is left to do his work in the movie. Apparently, this has been evident in other movies such as the Guardian of the Galaxy, Iron man three as well as the first Avenger.
