Reaction Paper About Wonder Woman

994 Words4 Pages

I am just going to get it out of the way in the beginning that I am not a superhero movie or comic fan. I have not followed any series, or any particular superhero’s story. I do have seen some movies randomly, but that’s it. So I have no clue whether the film on Wonder Woman was accurate, or if some parts are missing or the story has been tweaked. I write this article as a newbie’s experience of the superhero world. One thing I can say is that I may have not walked in the theatre as a fan, but I definitely came out as one. I went to see the film for one reason and one reason alone; it was the first stand-alone female superhero movie. That alone was intriguing enough, but in addition to that, the fact it was directed by a female director (first time for a studio superhero movie!) was another reason to watch it. Through this film, these talented and capable women had entered the no man’s land (pun intended) and much like Diana in the movie, they came out victorious. …show more content…

She is an all-round badass, as much in real life as she is in the movie. Playing the valiant Amazon princess (and demigoddess) Diana who fights for what is right; Gadot has also been breaking boundaries in real life as well. She sashayed down the red carpet in comfortable flats, easily breaking the unspoken rule for women to always wear heels. From shattering social confines to physical ones, Gadot shot some scenes of Wonder Woman while she was 5 MONTHS PREGNANT! And she served 2 years in the Israeli Armed Forces as a combat instructor!! Channelling my inner Chandler, I have to say “Could she BE more

    Bailey Gillen Robert Whitley History 132-620 8 July 2017 Primary Document Review: Rosie the Riveter by: Norman Rockwell Norman Rockwell’s painting of Rosie the Riveter successfully empowered women of the day and highlighted their contributions to the war effort. This painting is one of the most recognizable paintings from World War II today. Rockwell, although exaggerating the actual figure of his model, accurately displayed the patriotism shown in women of the work force. So much detail was put into the painting that there is a lot to be said as to what Rockwell was trying to convey. Rockwell was trying to spotlight the enormous roll women were playing in the war effort back home.

    When you think of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you think of Iron Man, Captain America, and the test of the Avengers gang, but you hear the name Jessica Jones and scratch your head. To be honest, I had no idea who the character was when I first hear about the series coming out on Netflix. I had just started watching Daredevil when I heard that the show would be part of 3 other shows that would culminate in a mini-series event called The Defenders. What I knew after watching Daredevil was that this part of the MCU will be a lot darker. Where the movies are a bit lighter, the small screen versions on Netflix weren 't going to be that way.

  • Stereotypes In Kathryn Janeway's Star Trek

    Popular culture is very influential, and without having diversity in characters, different types of people are not represented and do not have a voice. This is not the case in the series Star Trek: Voyager, as there are many diverse characters. For example, as the Star Trek series’ first female captain, Kathryn Janeway has inspired me and women all over the world, and has left a lasting impression that a woman can be just as good of a leader and a scientist that a man can. Having diverse characters is important because it can simultaneously break stereotypes and give inspiration to others.

    The film begins with the arrival of an aging Ransom "Rance" Stoddard, a U.S. Senator to a small town called Shinbone in the company of his wife Hallie. It raises questions as to why the Senator is in that town considering it is almost obsolute and has nothing to offer to engage a U.S. Senator 's visit. It is even more perplexing that the senator is there to attend the funeral of a man who lived in the town, an apparent nobody, Tom Doniphon. As ordinary citizen 's it is obvious that curiousity takes its course when an important person whether a politician or celebrity comes our way in the absence of an important event taking place. It is believed that "these" kind of people only visit the places where ordinary citizen 's live when there is a

    In 1995, American journalist and political activist Gloria Steinem wrote the essay “Wonder Woman” and published it as the introduction to her book Wonder Woman: Featuring over Five Decades of Great Covers. Steinem wrote this essay to discuss the promotion of feminism in popular media, especially in comic books. She begins the essay with a tribute to William Moulton Marston’s superheroine Wonder Woman, recounting with a nostalgic tone the hundreds of languid afternoons hiding in a tree and restless nights swaddled in blankets during which her childhood self would eagerly pore over the pages of comic books she had bought herself. Then, she switches to a more earnest tone as she compares the adventures of Wonder Woman with the societal burdens

    Throughout the decades men have dominated the comic-book industry. They played a very important role in perpetuating stereotypes. The male writers, publishers, editors, and creators wrote for the their target audience, which was primarily young boys. The 90s was a period of time where society obsessed over male strength, which in turn led the idea of how fragile a woman is compared to a man. Batman and Batgirl are both human superheroes; they do not have any special healing factor or any other kind of superpowers.

    Most female superheroes are the counterpart of a male version, i.e. Superman/Supergirl, Batman/Batgirl, Captain America/Miss America, etc. implying that woman cannot exist without man. According to Lavin, “the uneasy contradiction between strength and dependence (and in extreme cases, between strength and subservience) has characterized much of the history of female comic characters” (Lavin 94). When women were first introduced and included in the superhero teams, the heroin has softer powers in contract to the superhero who has stronger powers.

    This film was critically acclaimed, with one critic stating, "without a doubt, the reason we go to the movies: to understand, to come closer, to ache, hopefully with another” (Rothkopf). In my opinion, this particular movie demonstrates that the academic world can no longer disregard the immense impact the cinema world has on certain issues and topics. With that being said, Wonder Woman should also be considered a text that is analyzed seriously because of the rich content and message it delivers. It truly does not matter what form a text is delivered in, it is the ideas that are expressed within the text that hold the real
