Along with all new films being released based on different comic book characters, it is no wonder why the imagination we have is endless. However it has been questioned whether or not comic book heroes are mainly American and portray American culture only. Why is it that most of the super heroes from comics live in America and not anywhere else? When it comes to comic book heroes they are…

example, when I hear the quote “With great power comes great responsibility.” For most that share the Marvel fandom, the majority will be able to reply back where that quote came from, which is the “Amazing Spiderman.” Before the remake. When the course first started, my research involved the search engine “Google” but with low results of what I was searching for, however I did learn how Marvel first started as well as their comeback when they almost…

While I love DC and Marvel comics read them religiously, I do feel as if Marvel’s movie making quality in somehow leagues ahead of DC. And DC knows this because of odd design choices taken when their movies hit the big screen. Which leads to a disappointing result and bad reviews from the fan base following these movies.

Director David Leitch (“John Wick”, “Atomic Blonde”) and writers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds considerably decreased my enthusiasm about Deadpool with this discouraging second installment of the Marvel Comics franchise.
