The Incredible Hulk: A Superhero

358 Words2 Pages

The Incredible Hulk is the definition of having a violent temper, but is The Hulk really a superhero? Bruce Banner was exposed by a mass radiation of gamma rays, and instead of killing him, he got something even worse. Every time Bruce gets angry, he turns into a giant green rage monster. “The Hulk himself is a creature of pure rage and knows no morals or reason, blindly seeking to destroy everything in his path. The Hulk is representative of how the anger inside us can lead us in directions we would never go even though we may see ourselves as good people” (Smashing). The Hulk killed many people in the comics, movies, everywhere that The Hulk has been introduced in; there is always some sort of misfortune whenever The Hulk appears. The Hulk

    In The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie, Alexie states “A smart Indian is a dangerous person, widely feared and ridiculed by Indians and non-Indians alike” (Alexie 364). I would have to disagree with this statement. He is making it sound like just because he is a minority that received somewhat of an education, he should be feared by others. I believe that anyone who is smart and forceful in a community is dangerous because they have the willpower to go to any lengths to uphold their beliefs. On the other hand, I also believe that just because you are smart, you don’t necessarily have to be feared.

    Did you know that the United States ranks 17th in education performance? That is a huge drop from 1980 when the United States was ranked 1st. Clearly, our education system has gone in a downward spiral and is struggling to keep up with other countries. The documentary, “Waiting for Superman” by David Guggenheim, and the article, “Idiot Nation” by Michael Moore, discuss the weaknesses in our education system. Although both authors offer compelling arguments, “Waiting for Superman” contained a better argument because of its abundance of rhetorical strategies, whereas “Idiot Nation” contained some logical fallacies.

    Superhero is defined as, “a benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers, such as Superman”. With the exception of fictional characters, there is no one in our society with superhuman powers. In everyday life when humans think of a superhero, the immediate thought that comes to mind are these made up abilities. Despite this cliche image seen in movies or read in comics, superheroes in this world usually do not have those superhuman abilities. Versions of a superhero in reality is an individual who strives to be exceptional and lead others into being the best person possible.

    John Williams who is American composer and a conductor created the theme song from superman. Some of the most popular music that was recognized from John Williams is, some of the star wars series the thrilling shark movies the jaw, Jurassic park and many more. He also did theme music for four Olympic world games, which is to me really interesting. The theme from superman illustrates and shows a man that is not really seen powerful in the public eye and is misunderstood in front of everyone even though he fights crime and saves the world he often feels if anyone really cares about what he is doing for him or her. The music shows the struggle of what superman is being faced with on the daily basis of trying to be a hero and have a

    The Hulk appeals to children in particular who are the main audience for superhero films and also the majority of people who get cuts and scrapes. Due to constant horseplay involved in many young kids lives and their undeveloped clumsiness, it causes them to be the ones who fall and hurt themselves more often and easily. Also, it is common for children to walk around with Band-Aids on, but it become less common and less “cool” to have five Band-Aids on those itchy mosquito bites whenever one reaches adulthood.

This documentary emphasizes the message of the risks of consuming fast food and the outcomes that fast food has on people’s health. Spurlock came up with this idea from a lawsuit that involved two young girls suing McDonalds for their weight problems. The presiding judge over this case ruled that there was not sufficient evidence that their health issues were caused by consuming food from McDonalds. As an experiment to see if these girl’s claim had any merit, Spurlock was determined to only consume food from McDonalds for thirty days and see if there was any correlation between eating fast food and declining of health.

    I agree with Michael Uslan where he argues that superhero characters are a modern mythology. Although science can help explain the background of the superheroes powers, superheroes are usually regarded as a Saviour rather than a science experiment. Since superheroes are much more unrealistic, it tends towards being a mythology instead. Past mythology has iconic stories such as David and Goliath, the labours of Hercules, and the story of Moses. There are also counterparts which can be found in modern day comic books adventure.
