Power Man and Iron Fist

right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action happening in present day. Since nothing too epic has happened yet – ok, the explosion, but we all knew Luke would survive – this completely avoids that concern. In fact, the excitement of seeing Luke Cage become Luke Cage, actually manages to amp up the anticipation for what’s still to come. Furthermore, using the episode in which Luke is breaking free from the wreckage at Genghis Connie’s to parallel the way he broke free from the prison that changed him forever, was a nice touch; even if it was a little on the nose. Luke’s time in prison was deeply unsettling. Witnessing a prison guard wield his authority and power in such a malicious way was repulsive, to say the least. It was heartbreaking to watch Luke do what was necessary to survive, only to wind up losing his only real friend in the process. There were a few rays of hope scattered through, mainly in the form of Reva. It was nice to have her character transform into something more than just an abstract loss we could only really view through Luke’s eyes. Unfortunately, as enjoyable as Squabbles and Reva were as characters, a strong enough connection between them and Luke was never fully formed – leaving the emotional moments lacking a good deal of weight. Perhaps the episode didn’t illustrate the passage of time as well as it could have. It felt as though Squabbles and Luke were friends for…

new and improved superhero films. In all the films that I have seen advertised, on DVD, or in theaters, a man has been portrayed as the big and strong main character/superhero and the woman has been portrayed as the “damsel in distress.” Even on the posters for the movies the guy is made to look larger than the woman even if she has the privilege to be on the poster. Sexism is a very big issue for my generation and for the generations following mine. In the paper that Calder-Dawe and Octavia…

Civil War is the largest (to date) production in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

subjected to emotional stress, at or against his will, often leading to destructive rampages and conflicts that complicate Banner's civilian life. The Hulk's level of strength is normally conveyed as proportionate to his level of anger. Commonly portrayed as a raging savage, the Hulk has been represented with other personalities based on Banner's fractured psyche, from a mindless, destructive force, to a brilliant warrior, or genius scientist in his own right.

They expose our character’s negative emotions and twist them into something darker. They manipulate, control, and use. Our characters get trapped in this web of lies and false promises and once they’re stuck, it’s hard to break free. Although this should not excuse the character of his immoral actions, manipulation is a reasonable explanation for why the villain or hero behaves the way they do, especially when weakened by their self struggle, feelings of isolation, and disillusionment with life.…
