However, some eagle-eyed fans have also spotted Mads Mikkelsen shooting a scene as the main villain in the upcoming Marvel flick! But is the Hannibal star playing Dormammu? The Twitter fan account Cumberbatch Lives shared the photos of Mikkelsen showing the actor wearing strange face…

knows. Instead of helping the people the founding fathers actually helped themselves. John Adams was a bad guy. He is actually like a conqueror. ATI states, "Adams had a thirst for power." Most good guys don’t look to gain power. "This made him a supervillain of his time," states ATI. They have good reason to say this. John Adams was definitely not good and neither were the others. George Washington was also kind of evil and…

In the words of Wired magazine writer Thomas Langley, “There’s much more to our continued interest in supervillains than meets the eye” (par. 1). He goes on to assert that there are a number of factors that make supervillains so attractive to us. He claims that in many ways, we are envious of villains. They are powerful, they do what they want, and they don’t answer to anybody. Additionally, a good villain will…

Although all the odds are again them, a hero is someone who prevails through the adversity and reaches the peak of the mountain through their inner courage. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone harry and his friends show heroism through their journeys and obstacles. When the average person thinks of a hero they usually think of a superhero that goes out and fight crimes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman, but not all hero’s wear capes. There are multiple types of hero’s in hero myths such as…

effects of the fuku. In the first mention of Trujillo, Yunoir introduces the supervillain of the story as “our Sauron, our Arawn, our Darkseid, our Once and Future Dictator, a personaje so outlandish, so perverse that not even a sci-fi writer could have made his ass up” (Díaz 2). These references, which presumably, most western readers would be familiar with, help to frame the understanding of Trujillo as a supervillain, the fukú’s role in Hispanoilia in the mid-1900’s. They also are a perfect…

those in the increasingly bombastic and bloated Avengers series, Logan is spare and thematically intense, focusing on fundamental issues of morality and spirituality, rather than saving the world from another invading alien army or larger-than-life supervillain.” 6“If Jackman and Stewart are serious about this being their mutual X-Men swan song, they could not have…

Superhero films are based on adventurism and escapism that pertains to classic storytelling traditions and mythology. Most popular superhero films are built-in mythologies involving quests and special destinies for people who thought they were just ordinary people, and a consistent theme of a need to put faith in something larger than yourself. For this reason, I believe Wonder Woman is a great example of a superhero that is classified as contemporary mythology. Aside from Superman and Batman,…

Spiderman shows a lot of inner clash. He is constantly torn between his obligations as Spiderman and his needs and needs as Peter Parker, who is only an ordinary, feeling person. Diminish yearns to have an association with Mary Jane, the lady "he adored following before he even loved young ladies," however he can't have this relationship since it would trade off Mary Jane's security and bliss, and in addition Spiderman's capacity to battle wrongdoing at painfully inconvenient times of the day.…

I have been playing soccer for an organization called AYSO, since the age of five. This organization is overseen at Liberty Park, which previously was a burn dump before the conversion to a park. As a kid I was very care free and never thought about the consequences that may follow an ignorant decision. Over the years I adopted the nickname “wild child” by my parents because I wore shoes the least I could, but my bad habit quickly changed in the matter of one day. It was a hot afternoon at…

In 1994, the definitive Harley Quinn episode in the Batman: The Animated Series was aired, “Mad Love.” This episode is based on the comic of the same title, created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, which shows Harleen Quinzel’s metamorphosis into supervillain Harley Quinn. Dini has stated the title “Mad Love,” “Mad love is when you fall so passionately for a person (particularly the wrong person) that nothing else in the world matters” (Roddy 2). A relatable concept to many people, not just females.…
