In his article, “Violent Media is Good for Kids”, Gerard Jones argues that violent video games, violent glorifying rap music, and explicit savage depictions in comics that could cause violent expressions in children, does more good than harm. Jones, who is a comic book writer, incorporates self-testament to support his claim, and he uses several similar anecdotes overall, to prove that children should be free to watch violent media without restrictions. This paper will analyze the strengths and…

Comic books have been around for more than a century and attract a diverse crowd of readers. The audience of comic books has been mostly dominated by males, however there has been an increasing number of female readers. Most comic books are written by male authors, and usually consist of a male main character with a supporting female character, most commonly a love interest. These female characters are objectified in comic books to create drama or tension between characters in a situation and…

Walt Disney, his brother Roy Disney and other animators created the Walt Disney Studios. The Walt Disney Company parent of the Walt Disney Studios was founded in 1923 in a small office in Holly- Vermont Reality in Los Angeles. They produced a series of animated and live action called Alice comedies. As they started to make the studios larger they started to call the studio Disney Bros. Studio.

There is nothing wrong with reading comic books and playing video games. If you did not play sports as a child, your hobby was either reading comic books or playing video games during your pastime. Meanwhile, growing up around my male relatives when I was a child, all of us read Marvel comic books and played video games on our pastime. However, with having a relative named David, whose siblings seem uncomfortable…

The first issue of "Captain America: Steve Rogers" left me, and many others, deeply offended, disgusted, and devastated. I recommend taking a look at the #SayNoToHYDRACap tag that's been trending on twitter for most of the day. Captain America is, and has been for decades, a symbol of hope, honor, tenacity, compassion, courage, and empathy; a beacon of hope. You've taken that hope away from us with two words and made a symbol of freedom, justice, and protection into one of the genocide and…

Unfortunately, he did not receive much credit for the comic books that he created, and they did not sell very well, so he turned to detective novels. Spillane’s books are considered by many to be a work of art. Unfortunately, he referred to all of his novels as “trash” since they only took him a few days…

Being a female today means being a fragile, sensual caregiver that takes care of the strong, balanced protector to maintain the traditional functionalist theory that has been used as a general gender concept for years. Women are expected to be frail, fragile beings who have unstable emotions while being submissive to their male counterparts. The male counterpart is expected to be a dominant, strong being who has a balance of emotions and applies logical reasoning to their thinking. The divergent…

My favorite villain is venom from the spider man movies and comics. Venom is also is getting his own movie either this year or next year. Venom isn't really a person, Venom is a sort of liquid called symbiote, they have minds of their own and can move and take over people's bodies and minds. What makes Venom a good villain is that he's not that smart but he plays by the dark since Venom is black and uses that as an advantage by fighting during the night. Venom is from New York City which is…

I believe that superhero comics reflects social movements in a tremendous way. Because they both are for the hard working and honest citizen. Superhero comics and social movements were created to enforce laws that the government failed to do. There are so many groups that fight for peace, fight against world hunger, equality and fight against disease. Both superheroes and social movement fight for these things and most of the time they are victorious. Superheroes are use in politics so do social…

superhero character wouldn’t be considered the same without their classic characteristics. In order to be the heroes, fans know these iconic heroes need to be exactly the way they were when they first appeared. This is perhaps the reason why many comic book characters consistently retain the same appearance. It’s true that these heroes are known to look and act a certain way but, is it really necessary to keep them that way. Appearances and actions are mutually exclusive. Is Superman a hero…
