When it comes to the DC superhero shows on the CW, Supergirl is the most fundamentally difficult piece in which the director and writers have to portray Kara and her heroine powers. Kara has the same heat vision, super speed, super strength, ice breath, and flying capabilities as Superman, and the TV show consistently pushes the boundaries of the capabilities of special effects on television. The finale of season two, titled “Nevertheless, She Persisted,” is possibly one of the most captivating episodes of Supergirl. While some of the episodes leading up to main event seem drawn out and a little mundane, when it comes to this superpower fight, Supergirl transforms into an amazing, action-packed TV show. This epic season finale focused solely on defeating the Daxamites. It was an hour full of adrenaline and action, but these did not outweigh the pathos of the story. …show more content…
When Superman looks at Supergirl he does not see his older cousin, instead, he sees his archenemy, General Zod. The battle between the two is brutal and compelling, one of the best battles in the entire series. Thanks to the special effects and use of slow motion, the audience can feel every punch and explosion. Since both sides of the fight are heroes, the viewer does not know who to root for in the fight, which makes it a very engaging scene. However, the show eventually had to have a winner, which was Supergirl, who knocked out Superman with a destructive uppercut. Although a very close fight, Kara proves that she is the strongest hero on Earth, portrayed by the part in which she flies Clark to the Fortress of Solitude in order to stop the brainwashing. I found that the most impactful message in the scene was when Superman willingly admits a humble defeat, celebrating Kara as the champion of
But I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was kept on edge all the way through. I
With reference to “Man of Steel” and “Superman 1”, Superman is much taller than Lois resulting in her constantly having to look up at him and having him shot with a low angle from the point-of-view shot of Lois Lane, having the effect of Superman seeming more powerful. Superman’s adoptive mother is also a stereotypical, stay at home mother while his adoptive father
How close does Man of Steel fly towards the Superman legacy, and are its changes for the better or for the worse? Many fundamentalist fanatics have mixed feelings amongst Man of Steel, and are critiquing director, Zack Snyder, due to the vast range in which the concept of the movie is from the origins of Superman. Some fanatics question if the Snyder fully understands the origins of Superman due to the far fetch theory of the film opposed to the comics. The disappointment has left mixed feelings amongst the audience. Some express that the twists were a nice addition to the films; while others feel as if the story should stay the same. The film goes off on a complete tangent from the origins of Superman. Zack Snyder has made voluminous inaccuracies due to the fact that Superman does not get his full potential powers until three-fourths of the way through the film, he has lack of concern for the citizens, and most importantly he executes General Zod.
In the story Kingdom Come, the superheroes of old such as Superman, Green Lantern, and the Flash are living in a type of self imposed exile after a disastrous nuclear accident in Kansas state.

As the old superheroes clash with the escaped meta-humans, Superman battles Captain Marvel who has been brainwashed by Lex Luthor and has turned against his former allies and friends.
During the fight that takes place in Small Ville Superman gets shot in the chest. This blast does not kill him, and he shows no sign of pain. This depiction of masculinity promotes the popular belief that superheroes are indestructible and instills in young children that even when experiencing agonizing pain heroes suck it up and keep fighting.

Superman finally kills the creature but in the process end up dying himself. This is the sacrifice Superman makes for his people: he loses his life and his true love Lois. But it was all worth it in his eyes because he was protector of his nation. Superman had many things going for him, his invincibility against the humans, his strength, and most of all his love for Lois Lane. Superman could have easily fled and would have never been seen or herd from again. But to him America was worth his sacrifice of everything he has, including his life. Any true American is expected to sacrifice his life for his country.
If neither character was constrained by their ethical code, this is an uninteresting battle. Fighting at full strength, Superman would instantly and utterly annihilate Batman. The neurons in Bruce Wayne's brain responsible for even comprehending the situation he's in would have just begun to fire before he was hotter than a supernova and the atoms comprising him distributed evenly across the width of a galaxy.
In the 1880s, a new generation of social workers, led by Jane Addams, argued that providing education and opportunity was more important than preaching morality. In 1889, Addams and a friend established Hull House in Chicago, where they lived and worked among the poor immigrants they aimed to help. Addams set up a kindergarten, a day nursery, and an employment bureau for the poor. On the other hand, Sumner is arguing (logically) that social classes will always exist, but that some men only need a little help to become a part of a higher class. He argues that “Instead of endeavoring to redistribute the acquisitions which have been made between the existing classes, our aim should be to increase, multiply, and extend the chances. The greater
When engaging in the controversy surrounded around Sandra Bland’s arrest and followed death, one quote comes to mind, “ Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation”(Oscar Wilde). While numerous speculations have been created; for the most part America has divided into two perspectives. Those who believe this case is a suicide with a dash of coincidental, and those who believe this case is a homicide with racial intentions. Many ruling Bland’s case a homicide with racial intentions are treating the case like an axiom; however, this is a unique case that requires more than a glance over social media. Others look at this case blind due to racial beliefs and stereotypes. After conducting a personal investigation, I found error on both sides of the case.
,The book I read was Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. This story takes place in different locations of Mica, Arizona. Most of the story takes place in Mica Area High School also called MAHS. This is the high school that the most of the main characters go to. Another location is Archie's house. A old house that is turned in to school on Saturday. His house is covered in bones.

They interview students, then it gets posted on t.v..
That created more anger toward himself and feel less than a man. This is frustrating for a superman how is trying to show how great he is. A man without a disability. So his struggle to let his guest know that a normal person according to the narrator has his limit too.
The book that I read this quarter was Stargirl written by Jerry Spinelli. Stargirl Caraway has been homeschooled her entire life until her 10th grade year. She became a student at Mica High School. It is usually not a big thing to get a new girl at school, but Stargirl was different.
The art that was done to show superman's blood and ripped up clothes, also Lois Lane crying her eyes out, shows such great detail and really know how the end really shows.
