Superhero Movie

backstory jumps around his past in a way that makes sense to his perception of time (Gardner 188). He keeps repeating the dates as he keeps going back and forth between many different times of his flashback, just like how his mind works (see fig. 1 and fig. 2). There were also many scenes that were intercut with each other, rather than getting their own specific sections like in the graphic novel. For example, the scene where Dr. Manhattan and Leslie are on Mars together has its own full chapter in the graphic novel, whereas in the movie, this scene intercuts with another and is significantly shortened down. This, once again, contributes to a simpler narrative from the graphic novel’s complex one. There is one final way that the narrative of the film adaptation of Watchmen is changed, and that is where certain scenes are elongated and/or given added effects to either add to its simplicity, or just bring it closer to Hollywood’s idea of a typical superhero film. The most substantial example of this is in Rorschach’s escape from jail. A little person named Big Figure, who is obviously the leader of some sort of jail gang, taunts Rorschach whilst he is in jail. After getting revenge on his henchmen and seeing him run into the men’s washroom, Rorschach goes in after him. In the graphic novel, there is ambiguity left to what happens to Big Figure – the illustrations only offer the image of blood pouring out from under the door, and the reader had to have been paying attention to…

M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable is a superhero film, filled with numerous amounts of supernatural and fatal situations and a couple of strange and powered characters who are active or the conductors of those devastating situations. There is no question that one of those characters, which is David Dunn, is a superhero. He is an unbreakable man that isn’t affected by just about anything, and that can definitely be considered a superpower. Before we get into David Dunn’s specific powers, let’s…

The advancements in technology have had an extreme affect on the popularity of current superhero movies and media. Today we do not pay attention to how the innovations and inventions in production technology has changed over the past few decades and how superhero movies were so much different in the past. Without the special effects movie producers use today, superhero movies would definitely not be as exciting and action packed. So, these movies would not catch the eyes of many people.…

As my generation has grown up, it has been a trend for movie makers to make the old superhero comics and films into new and improved superhero films. In all the films that I have seen advertised, on DVD, or in theaters, a man has been portrayed as the big and strong main character/superhero and the woman has been portrayed as the “damsel in distress.” Even on the posters for the movies the guy is made to look larger than the woman even if she has the privilege to be on the poster. Sexism is a…

chose my four favorite movies and arranged each movie with six poetic elements. The six poetic elements are plot, character, idea, dialogue, spectacle, and music. As I was rearranging the six categories with my four movies, I realized several similarities to the genres of movies with the poetic elements. To give an example, Spider-Man (2002) is a character-driven movie. The movie expands on the main character’s personal development as a superhero. Throughout the movie Peter Parker (Tobey…

Hero’s Limits in making Peace in the society In the American superhero movies, superhero saves the world. These superheros either have super power which makes them invulnerable or lot’s of money to build equipments which makes them invulnerable. In the Japanese animation, the high school students save the world. They often have grand ideal, the nice antagonists who “help” these protagonists to grow up, and many people who supports their grand ideal. Do they really bring the peace to the world?…
