Superheroes have always had a place in the world of entertainment. Children, teenagers, and even adults have superheroes or fictional characters they grew up interested in and often can be looked at as role models despite being fictional. While superheroes like Superman, Iron Man, and Batman fall into the category of middle aged men with a good amount of money and a huge house, Spiderman has a unique background and upbringing that makes him more relatable to kids and teenagers. His daily life, his family, and the area in which he grows up helps young viewers relate to Spiderman and can motivate those who are in untraditional families and living conditions to do something super with their lives.

He writes “director Sam Raimi has mostly done an exemplary job of crafting a crowd pleaser for all ages. The special effects are terrific and occasionally breathtaking. The story, despite its segmented nature, is straightforward and easy to follow. And the leading players are so beautifully cast that their dialogue scenes are as much a joy to watch as any of the money shots of trick suits and explosions.” Vance also writes when discussing Spiderman: “Peter Parker’s progression from slouching nerd into exuberant wonder boy and on to the threshold of mature responsibility is a highly disciplined and beautifully nuanced performance that holds the film together and provides much of its considerable heart and charm.” Vance rates the movie 3 out of 4 stars and even without considering the money it makes at the box office, called the movie a …show more content…
He is the most relatable superhero to young people and the movie that Sam Raimi created does a great job of subconsciously portraying the art of growing up in the real world while giving the audience a fun and suspenseful action movie. The fact that Peter Parker is from an untraditional family and grows up to do great things with his life is a great learning tool to teenagers that those from tough backgrounds can still succeed in the real world with determination and positivity. I congratulate Sam Raimi for not only making a good action-filled superhero movie, but for teaching valuable lessons to his young demographic that many won’t catch right away, but can subconsciously be learned throughout the movie as Peter Parker strides to become a successful man while facing hard issues that can happen to anyone on this
The only reason i think this is because Spiderman is known as a hero but he is not portrayed as one in this
Batman and Superman are superheroes whose qualities are exaggerated in a way that is reminiscent of the gods and heroes in The Odyssey. In Fact, the superheroes from comic books emerge from the epic tradition. Epics, as you know, celebrate the great deeds of one or more legendary heroes. This epic hero is generally involved with a quest to overcome hardship, and he (and it usually is a "he") succeeds. The hero performs superhuman exploits in battle, often saving or founding a nation or the human race itself. Sound familiar? And even in terms of the superhero's body, with his bulging muscles and larger‐than‐life qualities, such figures evoke the images of Baroque masculinity. What Becomes important in these retellings, then, is how the hero makes the journey, how he faces his obstacles, and what he learns in the process.
The nature of humanity frequently masks and distorts an individual’s concept of their own true self-identity. By creating unique and controversial symbolic objects, Ralph Ellison conveys this notion in his novel Invisible Man. Ellison uses the symbolic objects the briefcase, the bank, and the Sambo doll to demonstrate the idea that human stereotypes, different ideologies, and an individual’s past all control personal identity. However, one can only discover self-identity if they give up interaction with these aspects of life.
Let’s discuss a little bit of comic book history for starters. The most iconic superhero in all of American comic book history has got to be Superman. He was created near the beginning of superhero comic books and debuted in Action Comics #1 in 1938[1]. He would remain as the blueprint for many superheroes for years to come as the atypical white American male. But as the years go by there were comic book heroes that came out that go against this archetype such as Wonder
People have and always will enjoy a good read. The success of classics such as William Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet, and The Merchant of Venice validate this. Modern authors are no exception to this ideology. In Manuel Puig’s 1976 hit, Kiss of the Spider Woman, the audience is introduced to two characters that inevitably fall into situations of adventure, romance, and deception. These elements are embedded in human kind’s tales all across the ages. The first of the two protagonists, Molina, is an easy-going, homosexual window dresser. Meanwhile, the second of the two protagonists, Valentin, is a non-homosexual, hot-blooded, political anarchist. These two are polar opposites who, in the wilderness of society, do their best to avoid each other’s presence; but being trapped in a prison cell together doesn’t give too much space for options. As the book’s title suggests, there is Spider, and therefore, there must be prey. The question is who is who?
In the earliest 1940 's superhero films started to become popular on the big screens. One of these popular films is known as Batman, which came out first as a comic book called "The Killing Joke". Batman is considered to be a superhero possessing great talents and for being a true example of hope towards Gotham city. Although these superheroes are one of the main characters in movies, they also have enemies to confront with which are also known as super villains. In this case, the Joker known for his criminal mastermind plays an important role as a villain. Having a huge impact through films, film viewers have had the chance to appreciate different versions of the Batman 's movies. The Joker, being one of the most classical villains in DC Universe is portrayed in different aspects. Analyzing Tim Burton 's Batman (1989) and Christopher Nolan 's The Dark Knight (2008), viewers can assimilate but also differentiate the Joker in couple ways.
The director of Spider-Man (Sam Raimi) has introduced the audience to a feeling of aspiration through a variety of different techniques and captures the viewer’s attention to the smallest details with great success and deliverance to become the character that is Peter Parker.
... through which the creators of the film evoked a sense of urgency and established an atmosphere of imminent danger. This aspect was then further augmented through the use of long-shots to portray the speed of the train and the danger that loomed several hundred meters away. Personally, the presence of dynamic secondary characters that are typically acknowledged but virtually flat and static allowed viewers to effectively comprehend the transformation of the perception of Spiderman. Through these effective cinematographic techniques and character development, the director creates a clip that is symbolic of the power of the individual and the fact that, regardless of our social situation or context, we can strive to accomplish the unimaginable. It is therefore of no surprise that audiences and film experts hail this sequel as a paradigm in the genre of the superhero.
Every child in the United States has heard or read the Marvel and DC comics books.

Ralph Ellison wrote the book Invisible Man in the summer of 1945, while on sick leave from the Merchant Marines. Invisible Man is narrated in the first person by an unnamed African American who sees himself as invisible to society. This character is perceived and may be inspired by Ellison himself. Ellison manages to develop a strong philosophy through this character and portrays his struggle to search for his identity. He uses metaphors throughout the book of his invisibility and the blindness of others in which is a part of the examination of the effects of racism. The development of this unnamed “Afro-American” character helps set the foundation on the philosophy of understanding who he is. The narrator undergoes experiences such as the battle royal, the Tuskegee Institute, the Trueblood visit, and the blueprint seller in which is full of corruption and deceit.

Nowadays, we can see so many hero type people in our society. Different culture and different countries will appear different types of hero. Hero gave us confident and we can trust them. I have chosen two heroes to compare and contrast based on cultural aspect and what they act. The two heroes are The Batman and Iron Man.

We all have heard of Spider Man. He was the average teenager until he was bitten by a radioactive spider. I like Spider Man but I believe there are a lot of things missing in his movies. The police and government are portrayed poorly, as to assisting Spider Man or lack there of. Spider Man goes about doing his own thing, outside of the law. He is something we can all relate to and I believe that is why a lot of people like him. Most people would say they want to be like Spider Man because of his cool super human powers. I believe it would be a lot of hard work, dedication, and a lot of responsibility. Think about this, you would have two lives to live as a completely different person. You would have to keep up good grades, make some money to live on, support your family in one life, then save people, fight crime, and kill villains in the other life. It would be way to overwhelming for me.
When you think of a superhero one normally thinks of Spiderman, Batman, or Superman, but there were superheroes long before these characters were created. First one must understand that the basis of this name is hero. What is a hero? A hero is a person who does something special or out of the ordinary in order to help others. It could also be someone who is admired for a characteristic about them, be it physical or mental. They are individuals that normal everyday people can look up to. This being the case, a superhero is nothing more then someone who is a hero, but not just that once and for that one person, but someone who helps many people, or leads them. As time went by the number of people who were true heroes diminished and just doing something for someone was no longer big news. There had to be something more to make them stand out. The American culture needed someone or something to admire and that is where our common day superheroes come into play. It gave them a goal which could never be reached in hopes that people would never stop trying.
