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…

speaking comic books were made to give amusement to the youth. Just like television adults didn’t perceive it as mature or as something they would take into consideration. In this current generation comic books are accepted by all ages and ethnicities. Racially comic books weren’t very diverse especially the characters and their roles. Dating back to the first comic book that was released in the United States in 1933 which was the famous funnies and was labeled as the carnival of comics. Around…

James Gunn, notorious writer of both Movie 43 and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Despite all the potential for disaster (there’s plenty), the film has been hailed as an entertaining, feel-good Marvel caper that’s totally original. So then, why’s it more of the same? There’s a prominent formula that Marvel are seemingly sticking to. An introduction of the main characters as they assemble, a good look at the central antagonist and his motives, and some partially-relevant high-action antics…

“Modern-Day Heroes” By: Luigi Perrotta Over a thousands of years our image of a hero has changed So extreme.

the social perspective and the difference between male and female gender roles and their inequality. No matter how hard women try, it seems as though they will never be looked upon the same way men are viewed even in films and comic books. Creators of such films and comic books continue to create such representation of idols because it portrays a clear image of inequality of gender relations between males and females. The sexualization of the female image as Jessica Chastain mentioned, is what…

Comic books may have many influences but it has become very clear that Greek mythology is one of the more obvious ones. To some people comparing mythological figures and comic book heroes would be a far stretch, but with a closer look I believe that the two worlds might actually have some resemblance. The purpose of this paper is to examine the similarities between superheroes and mythological figures. I hope to look further into these connections to provide evidence of classic mythological…
