commercial of Evian water, “Evian Spider-Man –The Amazing Baby & Me 2”, the commercial associate the feeling of living young to the Evian water; however, they do not say how this water makes people live young or how this water is different than the other water that people use every day. Likewise, many of the advertisements that people see every day do not care about the quality to make their product different, and they are willing to try any method to persuade the audiences to buy their products. According to Bob Samuels’ article, “Inception as Deception”, he said, “one off the biggest illusions sold in popular culture is the illusion of individual control.” (Samuels, 418) The advertisers always try to associate feeling to the products to get the shoppers to favor their product and make them feel that this is their own choose that no one has influence. This is one of the huge evidence why the people are being manipulating by…

It is common to think of superheroes at the mention of a hero, but a hero does not have to have powers or special abilities to be a hero. Part of being human is that we feel pain and emotion, how these feelings are shaped is how we may define the person as either a hero or an anti-hero. Peter Parker comes to my mind, when his uncle was shot in cold blood and how he had to use his spider powers for the greater good. However, I would name Peter/Spider-Man as an anti-hero because his path to…

“Spider-Man: You have a knack for getting in trouble. Mary Jane: You have a knack for saving my life. I think I have a superhero stalker. Spider-Man: I was in the neighborhood.” (Zergnet, 2016) Spider-Man is a hero who experiences problems with love ones, family, and friends. He has abilities that he gained and with those abilities Spider-Man started a career. Spider-Man believed in helping others and saving lives. Spider-Man tends to face some challenges.

The character of Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions provides players an emotional and understanding of the character and themselves. As teenagers continue to grow and develop, it is important for them to gain some social and emotional learning. Often, characters in violent video games such as Spider-Man have these social and emotional understandings such as relationship skills, responsible decision-making, and self-management. For example, Spider-Man lives by the saying “with great…

As with almost every superhero fan I know, I fell in love with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in last year’s “Captain America: Civil War.” As such, despite some recent lackluster attempts at Spider-Man movies, I was extremely excited for Holland’s solo outing, even though Spider-Man is not one of my more beloved superheroes. For the most part, this movie proved a satisfying picture. Set a couple months after “Civil War,” Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Holland) is eager to become a full-fledged Avenger. He…

characters belonged to other studios. Sony owned Spider-Man while Fox owned the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Because of the critical failure of Daredevil and Fantastic Four, the executives at Marvel were convinced to make their own films. The first few board meetings were comprised of Marvel's executives discussing and listing down properties they did not have rights to, which included characters like Daredevil, The Punisher, Ghost Rider, Blade, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and the X-Men. At the…

Kamala is given several issues to explore her origin story, and as a result, seems like a much stronger and detailed character. However, I am sure that if I read and analyzed the first several issues of The Amazing Spider-Man that followed Amazing Fantasy #15, Peter's coming-of-age story would become much more interesting and have more in common with Ms. Marvel. I do think the story of Kamala is more innovative and fresh because it features a character with a diverse background that reflects the…

Although Hamlet and Venom are both mentally and emotionally sophisticated, Venom is more physically sophisticated because he has a symbiote controlling his body and changing his physical appearance. “I tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen: the suit's changing-- it's evolved. I'm all tapped out-- it can't use me no more. All this time I thought it wanted to be with me... ...but it only ever wanted you.” (The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 2, Number 3). As you can see, the suit changes and…

These superheroes and their images shifted to make a statement for the minorities, expanding to make broader statements, even if it was before their time. A superhero’s identity and moral standing are directly tied to the world around them. Their reflection of this world gives them the ability to influence the viewers around them. Each superhero has something they explicitly stand for, something that defines them in their era of origin. It’s also something that separates them from other heroes.…

The article, “Equally Super?: Gender-Role Stereotyping of Superheroes in Children’s Animated Programs,” by Baker and Raney is about an interesting phenomenon that is not spoken about often. It is the idea that children 's cartoons with superhero’s are actually sexist and stereotypical. The article explains that Baker and Raney are researching whether or not cartoons are stereotypical and sexist or if it has changed from the first time this idea had been researched about 40 years ago. Baker and…
