Fantastic Four

Marvel's Fantastic Four debuted in ’61 as a superhero comic book series that zeroed in on the flawed loving and familial bond shared among its characters. Given that this context and the comic book series’ main focus on the "problems of human existence hindered with their crimefighting capabilities" (Genter 2007), it’s hard to read the significance of matriarch Susan ‘Sue' Storm (Invisible Girl then later dubbed as Invisible Woman) far from of the understandings of the second wave feminism. She is

In the most recent Fantastic Four directed by Josh Trank, Reed Richards is a boy genius which, with the help of his partner, Ben Grimm, creates a teleportation device. Dr. Franklin Storm takes interest in this project as he believes the invention may hold the secret to inter-dimensional travel.

After viewing the most recent rendition of Fantastic Four, directed by Josh Trank, it is nearly impossible for one to contend that the film was not a disaster. From ongoing inconsistencies to poor special effects to nonsensical plot points, Fantastic Four failed to deliver quality in almost every element of the film. However, there were a number of causes behind the scenes that led to the film's collapse, including the misguided narrative direction of the film, the uncompromising tension between

The past decade has seen superhero movies rise to box office dominance. This is a new trend. Batman and Superman movies found success early, but the surprise blockbusters Spider-man and X-men at the turn of the millennium revealed that the market for comic based entertainment was not yet saturated (Fritz, 2014). Looking back a decade and a half later, consumer demand has clearly spoken: six of the last ten highest grossing movies were based on comic books: Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man 3,
