What is a superhero? Some would argue that a superhero is a fictional character with super powers. Although this definition holds some truths, there is so much more when delving into what a superhero actually is. Guardians of the Galaxy, although goofy and very original, accurately portrays the true meaning and expectations of our superheroes. In order to be a superhero a person must take risks that involve huge sacrifice and they must be willing to take the initiative to help make a society a better place for the greater good, all of which can be seen in Guardians of the Galaxy, which some would argue is more so a comedy than superhero movie.
In the beginning Guardians of the Galaxy, you are introduced to the protagonist, Peter Quill, as

This type of sacrifice typically is never seen in normal superhero movies. Usually the heroes don’t have to die for the greater good. One more major scene in the film that portrays this type of heroism is when the Guardians face Ronan in the end of the film. It shows the Guardians standing around Ronan as he is about to destroy the planet with the infinity stone. Peter Quill starts dancing in order to distract him so Drax and Rocket could knock the hammer from his hand. Peter then jumps and grabs the stone from the ground. Which was extremely risky because the stone usually decimates the holder. Then all the guardians reached out and interlocked hands equally sharing the power of the orb. Ronan is then defeated and the Guardians manage to save the plant. Which was the followed by a little Groot dancing. Another example of this risk taking and sacrifice is when the Guardians first teamed up together and risked it all to escape from the intergalactic prison. This was an incredibly serious and risky mission that was completed through strength and courage and a little bit of humor. Something this movie does is it is always does is it fills up all the serious moments with comic relief so it’s possible to miss or not fully understand all the greatness that these superheroes
Heroes, the unordinary beings with extravagant abilities, from powers and competence to skills and talents. Heroes are people who are idealized by society for their courage and individuality. Iconic and well recognized heroes like Hercules, Superman, Spiderman and Achilles are some of the few heroes known around. All heroes have a similarity to each other, for example Beowulf and Batman. While both can be considered great heroes, they differ significantly, yet are similar in other ways.
The difference between a superhero, as we know from movies and comics, and a traditional hero is rather unclear for many people.. In modern times, a superhero is often a being with supernatural abilities. For example, the movies depict them as individuals with super strength, night vision, the ability to climb walls, and so on. The majority of audiences have been spoiled with these unrealistic depictions and are unable to recall the real or “traditional” hero. In the texts, The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Book of Job, and Bhagavad Gita, heroes are not “as seen on television”, but something more. The heroes in these stories carry great strengths such as wisdom, patience, and pride. To illustrate these characteristics, the protagonists themselves
Star Wars is a science fiction adventure novel. The symbolism and characterization was really excellent in the story. The story gives a great look into the future as it has many different types of things we have not yet invented; blaster rifles, space ships that go the speed of light, fat alien slugs, and beam swords. The plot of the story sucks you into the novel and makes you want to continue reading the novel.
“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles” (Christopher Reeves). In other words a hero can be anyone that is determined and helps other people. A hero is someone who can face challenges with determination, who can persevere or exceed beyond expectation, but is not always buff, or strong.
Star Wars is a great example of excellent sound quality in a movie. There are dozens of different sound effects that make this movie a classic. The most commonly overlooked piece of audio in a movie is the character’s voices. The voices in Star Wars play a large part of the movie. Each character has a distinct voice and a distinct way that they speak. Darth Vader has an extremely deep voice and speakes in long draw out words, to help show how evil he is. Han Solo has a rugged sounding voice and is very direct when he talks. Han is considered to be a tough guy who likes to be a loner, yet he has a sidekick. Luke Skywalker has a soft, young sounding voice to show how inexperienced he is. CP-30 is a robot who has human qualities and has a crackly voice that shows how nervous he is and how much of a wimp he is. Other aliens in the movie in the movie make weird noices that have to be translated at the bottom of the screen.
In Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), the force theme is a melody that emerges as a representation of various characters involved in the rebellion against the Empire. The theme takes two main forms: heroically militaristic, and soft and heartbroken, augmenting the emotion of the scene. Both variations have a rising-and-falling melody and a momentary major chord that inspires hope before again descending into despair. This melody becomes a manifestation of the strenuous battle against the Empire, and delivers the story of the Rebels’ efforts of resistance. The force theme reinforces associations between the scenes it appears in and the Rebellion by being a consistent symbol of onerosity; the musical elements used in the force theme consistently

My analysis is on the film The Goonies. While I view the movie and determine the various norms, behaviors, roles and interaction between group members, as well as individuals the examination within the realm of film can present many of the same components. Thus, our group selected this movie to analyze based on its formation of a cohesive problem-solving group full of unforgettable characters. The Goonies portray many different theories and aspects of small group communication.
In today's modern times we hear the word hero all of the time. The news media throws the term around as if it is an everyday word. What exactly is a hero? Who, or what, can be classified as heroic? The correct definition of the word hero is: One invested with heroic qualities in the opinions of others. That is a fine definition for books and intellectual minds. To the average person, however, a hero is much more.
A person who overcomes antagonistic and unnecessary issues in a mature and powering manor. That is the definition of a hero to me. Someone who is being hurt and sees others hurt from the actions and takes charge and does everything in his power to change it. Someone who puts others before themselves and acts in the most chivalrous way. The definition of a hero is different for everyone. Some one might think of a hero as someone who can lift a car and put it on their back, or gives a dying person their kidney. Yes all of those people are forms of hero’s. You can’t tell someone that they are not a hero just because they don’t change into a disguise in a telephone both or can throw lightning bolts from a cloud. Everyone is a hero in their own way.
In my opinion, a hero is someone whose principal purpose, whether it be in one situation or over the span of their entire life, is to help others while simultaneously making the world a better place. When the word hero is brought up, the most prevailing image that comes to mind is superheroes like Batman and Superman. But I don’t think you have to have superpowers or even be well known in order to be a hero. There are people all over the world whose intention is to do selfless deeds and go out of their way for others without expectation of obtaining anything in return. These are the type of people I like to consider everyday heroes. They go through life just trying to be the best they can and trying to help as many people as they can. Whether
Star Wars the Force Awakens was one of the most anticipated films of 2015. One of the reasons for the success of The Force Awakens is that it builds on the status of Star Wars as a modern mythology, however through its narrative style and character development we get a film that is only comparable with the Star Wars of the past. The Hierarchy of knowledge is difficult to see in the beginning due to the two main characters that are established. At first glance, one may see Rey at the center of the narrative.

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.
