Most of the heroes in the superhero universe can be broken down into three groups. Marvel and DC Comics are the main contributors to this superhero fandom. These two companies even contributed the term superhero. Neither company owns it, they just share it. Many of the interesting heroes/ heroines have brain powers, body powers, and some are even powerless. I like to call this class the Brainiac’s. Not because they are smart, but because they have brain powers. Brain powers include telekinesis,…

What comes to your mind when someone mentions the word hero? Martin Luther King Jr? A cape and special powers? The dictionary defines it as a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. Yet every person has a different idea in their mind, of what a hero means to them. Personally, I believe that a hero is a person who is selfless, kind, and caring. A person who will put off their needs until everyone else is taken care of. They are willing to do whatever it takes to make the world…

I know its just the second weekend for new movies in 2018, but my guess is that we may be hard pressed to find a film more charming and endearing this year than Paddington 2. Days after seeing the film, I am still smiling, chuckling a bit even, and hoping the movie makes all the money it can. The original Paddington grossed nearly $270 million worldwide and earned two BAFTA nominations for Best British Film and Adapted Screenplay and a mutual consensus formed between critic, audience, and…

Superheroes and America: Why the Citizens are the Real Heroes They were born to save humanity, and while they didn’t know it at the time of their conception, their superhuman abilities would enable them to save the day. To a simple crowd, they are hidden, disguised as a normal citizen until they have to become the symbol –the pillar of strength– that everyone needs. Alone or united they fight for the human race and its survival, demonstrating their unwavering sense of morality, justice and…

Marvel and DC Comics have had a friendly rivalry since the 1930s starting from the comic books and now going into the movies. DC characters are heroes and demigods among humans. Their stories tell how they use their powers to fight crime and that they are heroes because their superpowers. Marvel characters are the opposite they were created not as heroes but as relatable normal human beings with problems and normal stories. Their character development is about how they deal with their…

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…

amazing performance if he’s covered in 15 layers of the thickest blue makeup you’ll ever see. For example, take a look at Ronan the Accuser from Guardians of the Galaxy. While Guardians of the Galaxy was a smash hit, it’s villain was shockingly bad. Lee Pace, the actor of Ronan, is a talented actor with lots of potential. But, all that potential gets thrown away when you can’t even recognize him. All of the makeup on Pace’s face ruins his performance, and takes away from the otherwise great…

Do you ever imagine a world in which everyone has the ability to fly, read minds, teleport, and more? There are more than a thousand of comic book heroes, each with their own unique powers and perspective. 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…

“Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can. Spins a web, any size, catches thieves, just like flies. Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man”. Spider-Man is the world’s favorite web-slinging hero. The Spider-Man franchise began as a comic series, but has since then been adapted into movie form, where there are currently six official live-action Spider-Man movies. Between the initial adaptation, Spider-Man, and the latest installment, Spider-Man: Homecoming, there are many factors that vary.…

Hello, I watched the movie: Hancock, Hancock is a 2008 American superhero comedy-drama film directed by Peter Berg and starring Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman and Eddie Marsan. The film is not based on a book. The setting is LA and New York. The film is mostly about Hancock, an alcoholic man with superhero powers, including flight, invulnerability, and super-strength. In the start of the movie, he is messy but at the end he evolved to a real superhero Plot Hancock is an unhappy,…
