“The Pro-Social Mission” If you think about what a superhero means to you, many answers may fly around like bravery, strength, or power. Very rarely do you ever hear about what exactly makes a superhero, super. In my opinion, I believe it is this pro-social mission that keeps them going on the never ending battle against the fight with evil. A hero can have as many powers or identities that they want to have, but the most important component of their being is that they have a specific goal in…

Superhero Comic Books Berlatsky’s article, “The Female Thor and the Female Comic-Book Reader” (2014), argues that girls are interested in reading superhero comics as much as boys; there has been a lot of speculation whether comic books were created to entertain only the masculine audience. In order to stop the sexism that has been going around in the superhero comic book industry, Berlatsky uses the logos Aristotelian appeal to inform the comic book audience that girls have been a fan of comics…

The Dark Knight is a superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan. Throughout the film many themes and ideas are presented in many significant scenes. The director used various techniques to present those themes and ideas. The scene I have chosen to analyse is the Joker Interrogation scene because the purpose of this scene is to discover the inner side of Joker, along with his mindset. The aspects I chose to analyse are lighting, camera work, dialogue, and The lighting plays a particularly…

The Fake Three months ago, Yeon Sangho’s zombie thriller Train to Busan was all the rage in Asia, as it received both critical acclaims and audience’s love. Even then in May, amongst the line-up of melodramas and arthouses from auteurs all around the world, it stood out as an entertaining and commercial thriller, though this is just the first take on live-action from the 39-year-old South Korean director who packed on his back only several animated movies, most notably The King of Pigs and the…

that whatever bad there is, it’ll go away and the world will be a better place, free from the evil. The concept of superhero became popular among the audience when they came alive on screen. Earlier, only comics had superheroes and that faded away, for when a child grew up, he wouldn’t read comics anymore because it was too childish. But when the superhero movies made their way into the film industry, it saw a whole new trend. Now, it was cool to revisit your childhood fantasies in superhero…

When given the task of creating both a whole new superhero and comic script, I was shocked by the amount of control and creativity I would have throughout the process. Creating my own personal hero is what excited me most as a writer, although I realized how hard it is to truly be original in the world of comics. Since Superman’s grand debut in 1938 it would seem as though every superpower has been thought of. The “roadblock” of creating an original hero pushed my creativity and lead to my…

Ant-Man is the textbook example of a typical Marvel superhero movie. It follows the basic, chronological three act structure that includes every cliché plot point in the book, all squeezed into a two hour blockbuster that any Marvel fan is sure to love. It covers everything from the anti-hero, an evil scientist, an elaborate break in, training montages, martial arts, fist fights, inspiring speeches, emotion, betrayal and of course, a heist. All this riddled with comedic moments and…

I found this particular piece of artwork in the tunnels near Lanark residence, and obviously painted by some of its floor members quite a few years ago. This particular sign caught my eye because I was curious as to why an entire floor of people would choose a 2001 children’s animated movie to represent them in a public area for an indeterminate amount of time. I believe that the Shrek painting is a perfect example of a social media meme. According to Little (2014), “Internet memes—images that…
