A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal - Defenders save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together. I remember Defenders so hyped to the leadup of Defenders show. As far as myself and others were concerned, this was an event that could be compared to the Avengers team up, but for TV. The night it released, Defenders binged the majority of the season. Having watched Defenders of it at once, I really loved the show. My hype was kept throughout, and I didn't really see any negatives because of the pace I watched it at. I saved the finale for the next day, and found it to be Defenders excellent ending to the miniseries. I enjoyed Defenders of their solo shows, with Daredevil being my favorite, and was most excited for the interactions Defenders the characters. Defenders that regard, it didn't disappoint. Not one bit. The way that these characters squabble, you really feel that MCU wit, and comedic timing seep through. My personal Defenders part was watching the interactions between Daredevil and Jessica Jones. They played off Defenders each other Defenders well. The other Defenders and the relationships between them were also the highlights of the series. Defenders acting was great, especially by the 4 main characters. Sigourney Weaver as the antagonist was an interesting choice, and I thought fleshing out the Hand was definitely interesting. She did a great job with what Defenders was given. I only wish she had a bit more of a Defenders. That being said, I still love Elektra and the role she had in this season. Wish that The Punisher showed up and joined the team. The characters, all remain Defenders great as they were in their own shows and manage to Defenders the same. The blending of these 4 characters and their worlds was something that is no small feat. I found it to be a success in that regard. In the first Defenders, using Red lighting for Daredevil scenes, purple for Jessica, green for Iron Fist and yellow for Defenders Cage was something that only added to the atmosphere of the show. I loved it. Looking at the series overall, it is very enjoyable. There are not many episodes, so it Defenders feel overlong. Personally, I found the start of the series the first 2 episodesto be very slow, as they Defenders utilized more to check in with each Defenders the 4 main characters. It definitely picks up once the Defenders unites at the headquarters though. The fight scenes, that one specifically, were so fun to watch. That being said, after rewatching the show again recently, I realize that it could've been a lot better. Defenders still find it to be incredibly underrated though. Give this show a watch if you love Marvel. Personally I'd recommend watching Daredevil seasons Defenders and 2 first. Maybe Iron Fist season 1 too. Otherwise, you can use this series as an introduction to the other 3 characters, and then go watch their shows from there. My Rating: Defenders. Looking for some great streaming picks?

  • Avengers and Its Applicability in the Swedish EFL-Classroom
    Master’s Thesis Avenging the Anthropocene Green philosophy of heroes and villains in the motion picture tetralogy The Avengers and its applicability in the Swedish EFL-classroom Author: Jens Vang Supervisor: Anne Holm Examiner: Anna Thyberg Date: Spring 2019 Subject: English Level: Advanced Course code: 4ENÄ2E 2 Abstract This essay investigates the ecological values present in antagonists and protagonists in the narrative revolving the Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The analysis concludes that biocentric ideals primarily are embodied by the main antagonist of the film series, whereas the protagonists mainly represent anthropocentric perspectives. Since there is a continuum between these two ideals some variations were found within the characters themselves, but philosophical conflicts related to the environment were also found within the group of the Avengers. Excerpts from the films of the study can thus be used to discuss and highlight complex ecological issues within the EFL-classroom. Keywords Ecocriticism, anthropocentrism, biocentrism, ecology, environmentalism, film, EFL, upper secondary school, Avengers, Marvel Cinematic Universe Thanks Throughout my studies at the Linneaus University of Vaxjo I have become acquainted with an incalculable number of teachers and peers whom I sincerely wish to thank gratefully. However, there are three individuals especially vital for me finally concluding my studies: My dear mother; my highly supportive girlfriend, Jenniefer; and my beloved daughter, Evie. i Vang ii Contents 1 Introduction

  • Loving, Black Teenage Instagram Celebrity Converts to Islam. Here's
    A shape-shifting, pepperoni- loving, black teenage Instagram celebrity converts to Islam. Here’s what happens. THE STORY Summer is a 17-year old carefree black girl, whose world is turned upside down when her mother, a popular meteorologist named Jade Jennings, abruptly converts to Islam and becomes a different person, prompting Summer to reevaluate her identity. When her mother coerces her into converting, Summer rebels. But, while Summer initially resists Islam, she eventually becomes drawn to its teachings, particularly around the "Jinn," supernatural beings who occupy a parallel world and have free will, like humans. Summer soon realizes that the religion is more complex than she thought, and that people interpret it in different ways. Yet, Summer's need to be free and untethered to any one way of being clashes with her mother’s strict interpretation of the faith and causes a growing rift between them. When Summer meets Tahir, a fellow Muslim classmate who attends the same masjid, she is further drawn to the religion and especially to his parent’s fluid, freeing practice of it. As Summer and Tahir build a connection based in laughter, curiosity, and beef pepperoni, a budding sexual attraction ignites, causing a major conflict between physical desire and piety. About Nijla- Writer/Director Nijla Mu'min is a writer and filmmaker from the East Bay Area. Named one of 25 New Faces of Independent Film by Filmmaker Magazine in 2017, she tells stories about black girls and women who find themselves between worlds and identities.

  • Marvel's 'Luke Cage': the Art of Recording Sound in the Chaotic Marvel Universe
    Marvel's 'Luke Cage': The Art of Recording Sound in the Chaotic Marvel Universe In Marvel's world of action and fighting, how do you capture sound? When Marvel announced it was expanding its universe to Netflix with a four-part series featuring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist ending in an eight episode mini-series, The Defenders, there wasn’t much chatter among fanboys. Even when Netflix released the Daredevil teaser in 2015, fans were mum—but with good reason. ABC’s now- debunked Agent Carter was airing, Avengers: Age of Ultron saw daily plot reveals, and the latest trailer for Ant-Man dropped, delivering more intrigue to the macro-sized hero played by Paul Rudd. But overshadowing it all was news that Sony was bringing Spider- Man into the Marvel world, which we witnessed in Captain America: Civil War. What was then lost in the shuffle is now an unprecedented success for Netflix: Daredevil is one of its most-watched original series, Jessica Jones will see a second season, and the streaming service has announced a fifth hero in the fold, Punisher. Netflix is hoping Luke Cage, premiering today, packs the same powerful punch. No Film School reached out to production sound mixer Joshua Anderson, CAS, to discuss how he captured the chaotic sounds of Hell's Kitchen. "I imagine that when he takes a punch, he not only feels the physical power, but also feels the sound of the punch." No Film School: You’ve been the production mixer on each of the Marvel series on Netflix – Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and now Luke Cage.

  • The Neurotic Superhero
    THE NEUROTIC SUPERHERO From Comic Book to Catharsis There’s a historical pattern around the popularity of the superhero—he or she is most needed during dark times in the real world. In Captain America: The First Avenger, when Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) visits the US troops to boost morale, it’s more than mere fiction; it’s art imitating life. Sales of comic books actually increased during the Second World War. Service men and women needed such stories of bravery and triumph as an inspiration, to which they could also escape. Comics were portable, easy to share and inexpensive. The Golden Age of Comics began during the Great Depression, and it’s perhaps no coincidence that the game-changing movie for our current generation of superheroes, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, was released in 2008—the same year that saw the worst global economic crisis since the 1930s. We needed a hero; 2008 also happened to be the year that President Obama was first elected into office. The Dark Knight paved the way for the superhero shows and movies we’re still watching, a decade later. Of course, it wasn’t the first edgy, darker iteration of !1 the comic book superhero—Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man series and Tim Burton’s version of Batman had started to push the boundaries, together with the X-Men franchise, which focuses on the persecution and genocide of minority “mutant” superheroes. But it is Nolan’s Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) who crosses that line: he’s not just heroic but deeply flawed.

  • Luke Cage: Review of Netflix Original Series
    Luke Cage: Review of Netflix original series Author : Robert D. Cobb Marvel debuted another one of its Netflix gems Friday. Anticipation had built up since Mike Colter appeared as Luke Cage on Jessica Jones in the Marvel shared universe. So much so, Netflix servers couldn't handle the workload. The streaming service went down for hours on Saturday, leaving viewers to watch regular cable, like animals! So just what was so exciting enough about Luke Cage that broke the internet? http://gty.im/120347526 Mike Colter as Luke Cage: Mike Colter is everything you’d expect out of our title character. He’s got the size to pull off the tough guy roll. However, it’s his acting ability that carries the character. Too many times shows cast a muscle-bound actor who has limited acting ability and the character suffers. Luke Cage is a vigilante of the people and to go that route would’ve doomed the show. Not only is Colter’s version of Cage believable, but he also manages to make him likable and relatable. A character with no powers to show than super strength, Colter had the challenge of bringing the character to life without the awe of devices like Mjölnir or Captain America’s shield. He nails it, earning Colter a 4/5. http://gty.im/612083430 Mahershala Ali as Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes: Very few times does a villain steal the show. Ali’s Cottonmouth is that villain. Cornell Stokes is the smooth talking, get anything he wants, then snap the next moment, kind of guy.
