1370 Words6 Pages

The X-Men series consisted of six movies, X-Men, X-Men 2, The Last stand, X-Men First Class, X-Men origins and the most recent one X-Men Days of Future Past.

There are over a hundred different characters in the X-Men series but I will be focusing on the 8 main movie characters: • Professor X • Magneto • Wolverine • Storm • Mystique • Rogue • Jean Grey/ The Phoenix • Cyclops Professor X In the comic books prof X is Xavier’s Schools headmaster and financier and is the founder of generation X. He is a very generous, humble and caring person but at the same time is extremely secretive. His superpowers include Telepathy and Astral Projection which is basically being able to have an out-of-body experience. But he sometimes uses his telepathy to induce pain in his attackers In the movies he possesses these same traits but is a little less secretive than in the comic book.

This younger version is more aggressive, rash, and has hair and on top of that he can …show more content…

He continues to wear the famous helmet which is also shown in the movies. Magneto had a tough childhood of being experimented on which led him to hate humans and believe that mutants are superior to them. He is ruthless and willing to sacrifice anyone in his quest to rid the world of humans however, he does have a compassionate side which is mainly shown towards his best friend, Prof X. He has the power to control metal which is known as magnetism. All of this is the same in the movie and the comics however, in the comics magneto had a wife and daughter who were both killed by humans, this never comes up in the movie. But, again, not much

    In Spike Lee’s movie Do The Right Thing, the ideas of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X are presented throughout the movie. The constant presence of the character Smiley with a photo of the leaders portrays the importance that these two figures’ ideas have in the movie.

    From a common thug to a fiercely intelligent leader, Malcolm X has set the stage for an audience to be truly inspired.

    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.

    From raging hormones to feelings of inadequacy, the teenage life is a mountain to overcome. This is especially true for a teenager who has superpowers. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the protagonist is a fifteen-year-old teenager who wants to use his powers for the betterment of mankind, but he also has to play the role of boring Peter Parker. I will first explain how Spider-Man: Homecoming is a part of the teen movie genre, which will merge into several ideologies throughout the movie that are a common trope in the teen movie genre. For example, having a feeling that you are meant for something greater, asking a girl out to a dance, finding someone older to look up to, wanting desperately to fit in with the cool kids, and rebelling against authority.
