The Most Badass Female Action Hero
Gal Gadot, “immediately realized the opportunity she was being handed, both as an actor and as a feminist.”(Morris). The role of D.C.’s latest superhero, Wonder Woman, practically saved the industry. After the release of the movie, Gal Gadot became instantly famous and her name peaked a widespread interest from people, since she wasn't commonly known. Alex Morris, the author of Rolling Stone’s cover story, set to release, on September 1, 2017 “Gal Gadot on Becoming Wonder Woman, the Biggest Action Hero of the Year”, effectively used pathos and tone to portray the story of how Gal mistakenly found herself on top of the world after the release of Wonder Woman. Morris effectively makes appeals to pathos

In the article, Morris adds a lot of dialog between her and Gal and this dialog helps portray Gal as a loving and warm human being. Who has strong beliefs of a girl’s “capability to value herself.” (Gadot).In her interview, Gal stated, “Every woman, every man, everyone should be a feminist. Because whoever is not a feminist is a sexist.” The strength of this quote reflects Morris’s depiction of Gal’s personality. By doing this Gal is to be seen more relatable to her role as Wonder Woman. The author conveys Gal’s motherly aspect when she describes how Gal reacted when she found out that the child in Morris’s pregnant belly is a girl. She then added that Gal stated that “Being a woman is a strength in so many ways”(Gadot ). This is something Gal firmly believes in because she has had the experience of being a mother who knows the experiences and obstacles of becoming a mother. By including this quote, the audience is able to see how Gal Gadot is the perfect actress for Wonder Woman. She reassures Morris, who may be a little nervous about becoming a mother. Morris uses dialog between her and Gal to provide the reader with a view of What Gal’s Personality is like and how it relates to Wonder

    ‘Oh, Oh, You Will Be Sorry’ by Edna St. Vincent Millay is a poem telling a story about the sexist expectations set for women in the 1900s. This was a time in which women’s roles were rapidly and immensely changing due to them performing traditionally male tasks and occupations as the men were fighting in the war. Consequently, women started to realise that they too could work, provide and be educated and so many gained feminist ideas and resentment for the patriarchy. A lot of them defied their ascribed roles regardless of the backlash that would come from this. In Millay’s poem she takes the persona of one of these women and tells her story through the use of poetic techniques such as structure, irony, tone, anaphora, alliteration and dialogue.…

Wonder Woman is the first female super-hero to be published continually since comic books began. Steinem mentions that Wonder Woman is a gateway for young girls to believe that they do not need to rely on men to save them—but they themselves can save the day. “Comic books have power because they are not part of the ‘serious’ grown-up world.”…

    The Goddess (1934) is a silent film made by Wu Yonggang, a well-known Chinese director in the 1930s. Hailed as “a masterpiece of ‘the first golden age of Chinese cinema’”, the film marked not only Wu’s directorial debut, but also “the pinnacle of [Ruan Lingyu’s] career” (Harris, 128). Ruan’s “mature, nuanced performance”, which was “subtle but at the same time powerful and rich”, proved to be a major factor in the movie’s success and lasting impact in Chinese cinema – even inspiring Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan to produce Centre Stage (1992), a biopic of Ruan, over fifty years later (Harris, 128; Rayns, 18). This response will examine and show how the depiction of Ruan Lingyu by male directors in both The Goddess and Centre Stage make use…

    In “The Female Link: Citation and Continuity in Watchmen” by Erin M. Keating, the author adds to the discussion of women in comics by negating that Watchmen was not an example of “the revisionary superhero narrative” because women were still being represented as conservative. Watchmen does not address the societal gender identities but rather it continues the gendered identities that were already in comic books. “In Adult Comics: An Introduction, Roger Sabin describes women in comic books as ‘‘invariably either plot devices (there to be rescued) or sex symbols (all plunging necklines and endless legs)’’. The author describes that Wonder Women was created as a sex symbol to appeal to male leadership by her creator, William Marston. Unlike Wonder…
