    This advertisement was published with the name “Refrescate este verano con J Balvin y Pepsi” (Refresh yourself this summer with J Balvin and Pepsi) on January 18th of this year. Pepsi makes an excellent use of pathos appeals in this commercial, since it makes the use of a famous Hispanic singer, J Balvin. The environment of this commercial is a warm day with traffic problems in a city. At the beginning, the characters seem to be bored because of the hot weather and the traffic in the city, but then J Balvin makes his appearance, and he begins to sing and share Pepsi sodas with everyone, and then the environment changes completely into a…

    Here a fictitious story with fantastic characters are being used to get a point across. The visual elements in the commercial are typical Marvel fare, beautifully done and mostly computer generated imagery, or CGI. While it looks great, it is also unnecessary, as it does little to show the viewer why a Coke Mini is worth all of that. The cost and time of doing CGI, along with the exorbitant prices of Super bowl ads, makes the whole piece seem unnecessary and a waste of money to me. I also found elements of false causation fallacy, appeal to authority, and name-brand authority fallacies as popular characters who are heroes to real adults and children who buy soda but that does not mean it makes one heroic to do so.…
