Comic timing

Iconic characters and storylines are seen today in popular culture. For example, the character of Rip Van Winkle is a man who had fallen asleep for 20 years and suddenly exploring a transformed city after the American Revolution. In 2013, the movie Captain America was released, where Steve Rogers is physically enhanced by an experiment in effort to aid in WWII, but was trapped in ice for 70 years. Furthermore, this is a similar concept to Rip Van Winkle, because Rip is recognised by an old lady who

Captain fantastic is a 2016 film written and directed by Matt Ross. The film is highly affected by Ross’s upbringing and his childhood. For the most part, the film questions the everyday lifestyle and social norms of American culture. Matt uses multiple cinematic and comparative techniques to support Ben’s parenting and his lifestyle. The contrast of the Americans’ approach to life with Ben’s family and their lifestyle helps Matt build a strong argument opposing the American values, culture and parenting

This past Sunday, AMC graced us with the premier of Fear the Walking Dead, a spin-off of the amazing, The Walking Dead TV series. While I am not a huge fan of spin-offs in general, I must say that I was impressed. The following may contain spoilers, so if you haven't had the chance to see the premier, I would highly recommend doing so before reading further. So why should you watch Fear the Walking Dead? Because I said you should! And the fact that the first episode will have you hooked, well,

A New Age of Heroes Big Hero 6 is a film that got a little less recognition than deserved in 2014, due to the competition that surrounded it, but just so happened to also be the second fastest-grossing, non-Pixar, Disney animated film of all time. (Mendelson) Of course, Disney’s instant classic earned that record with its incredibly lovable characters and all around family-friendly story that put a new spin on action-hero movies. Despite it being an action hero movie, Big Hero 6 is a wonderful movie

The world we live in has change drastically. Since the 1980’s and even in the early 2000’s, the world and icons that we have known have changed. Think about your favorite childhood super hero. Think about the male icons that everyone wanted to be. Remember back when everyone wanted to have a G.I. Joe action figure. G.I. Joe was the icon for military. This action figure had a normal figure. Take a look at the G.I. Joe from years ago and compare it to the G.I. Joe that we know today. There is a big

I was in the mood for something corny and nostalgic this weekend so watched 1997's Batman and Robin you know with Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and the introduction of Batgirl. Seeing this movie again strongly reminded me that my childhood rocked! However it also surprised me because I'd totally forgotten that Uma Thurman had played Poison Ivy! Do you remember that? Watching the film and really giving it much thought I've decided that she's one of those actors you know really well but are super surprised

other was about Batman's death, from the point of view of his ghost. Both comics were engaging because they weren't like other stories you expect to read. Their openings both had a special effect that made you want to keep reading. In order to have a successful story you must achieve the proper hook. This way when your reader starts the story they want to finish it and find out what happens. When I first started reading the comic about drugs, I was confused as to where this story was going to lead.

It's been a long wait, but the first-ever live-action adaptation of Wonder Woman is just about to hit the theaters worldwide. Considering the character's long and varied history in the DC Comics universe, it's a small wonder we're just getting to this now. If you're not a fan of the comics, you'd be forgiven for thinking Wonder Woman is just some lady with a magic lasso. The upcoming movie should prove you wrong, however, and there are at least five good reasons for it: 1. Critical Reception Pop

The Captain and I The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast three of my strengths with those of a superhero. When someone thinks of superheroes, often the first things that come to his mind are strength, good looks, and amazing powers such as invisibility or telekinesis, but although these traits are most certainly present in my chosen example, they are not what make him great. Captain America has handsome features and super-human strength, but what makes him a truly admirable person

I want you to think of a superhero. Can you do that for me? Good. Did you think of a super strong, man of steel who can fly? A man that gets massive and turns green when he’s angry, but uses that strength for good? A guy who can run so fast, he breaks the speed of sound? On the other hand, did you think of an epic archer with uncanny precision? Or a blind man that uses all his other senses to “see” danger and defeat it? Or a guy so intelligent, he built his own flying armored suit that he uses to
