Most of the test footage in the film was created with visual effects. The main character where a red and black costume throughout the movie, which represents dead pool as neither a villain nor a super hero. Moreover the film depicts the theme that one can change their way of life or characteristics when placed under difficult situations such as slowly dying from cancer. After the experiment occurred, Wade Wilson came out of that lab a completely distinct person.

    Where as I normally end up arguing against why a film should be considered a horror film, this time I'm going other way and argue why Lightning Bug is a Horror film. As I stated in Horror, My Definition, a Horror film is a film that used dread and horror, while trying to evoke negative emotions. Lightning Bug does that for me, upon first viewing I wasn't that impressed and disregarded is horror elements. Instead focusing on how its a Coming of Age Drama. But after viewing the film never really settled and has passed through my mind on several occasions and when I reflect on the film it's dark and haunting undertones that remain.…

    It is very clear in my book, Stung by Bethany Wiggins, a constant theme is about character change. This book is about how Fiona wakes up years later from a drug induced sleep, and the world is in ruins. There had been a vaccine for a bee flu, but what people didn’t know was that the vaccine turned people into beasts. At first I thought that this book was just about bravery and how situations can cause you to act differently, but now I realize that this book is much deeper than that. As the main character, Fionna, starts to become braver as the story progresses, I now realize that the situation isn’t making her act out of character, but making her show who she really is.…

    The last and seemingly people's least favorite of Romero's Dead films, Survival of the Dead isn't actually all that bad. It's a far better film than its predecessor Diary of the Dead, at least in my opinion. Returning the standard third person perspective and adopting a more humorous approach, Survival isn't a seemingly endless slog. The films tone is probably the lightest of the Dead films, which at times does push over the border of funny, to simply camp pander. Though we also get a slew of like-able, though not often relate-able characters.…

    Deadpool, also known as Wade Wilson, is one of Marvel’s famous antiheroes. Artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza created him, and his first appearance in comics was in The New Mutants issue number 98.
