  • Avengers Dissemble! Transmedia Superhero Franchises and Cultic Management
    Taylor 1 Avengers dissemble! Transmedia superhero franchises and cultic management Aaron Taylor, University of Lethbridge Abstract Through a case study of The Avengers (2012) and other recently adapted Marvel Entertainment properties, it will be demonstrated that the reimagined, rebooted and serialized intermedial text is fundamentally fan oriented: a deliberately structured and marketed invitation to certain niche audiences to engage in comparative activities. That is, its preferred spectators are often those opinionated and outspoken fan cultures whose familiarity with the texts is addressed and whose influence within a more dispersed film- going community is acknowledged, courted and potentially colonized. These superhero franchises – neither remakes nor adaptations in the familiar sense – are also paradigmatic byproducts of an adaptive management system that is possible through the appropriation of the economics of continuity and the co-option of online cultic networking. In short, blockbuster intermediality is not only indicative of the economics of post-literary adaptation, but it also exemplifies a corporate strategy that aims for the strategic co- option of potentially unruly niche audiences. Keywords Marvel Comics superheroes post-cinematic adaptations Taylor 2 fandom transmedia cult cinema It is possible to identify a number of recent corporate trends that represent a paradigmatic shift in Hollywood’s attitudes towards and manufacturing of big budget adaptations. These contemporary blockbusters exemplify the new industrial logic of transmedia franchises – serially produced films with a shared diegetic universe that can extend within and beyond the cinematic medium into correlated media texts. Consequently, the narrative comprehension of single entries within such franchises requires an increasing degree of media literacy or at least a residual awareness of the intended interrelations between correlated media products.

  • Reflections on the Three Ultimates and the Mystery of Creativity: in Dialogue with John B. Cobb, Jr. and Bob Mesle*
    1 Reflections on the Three Ultimates and the Mystery of Creativity: In Dialogue with John B. Cobb, Jr. and Bob Mesle* Tokiyuki Nobuhara Introduction: I have just completed my Japanese translation of C. Robert Mesle, Process Theology: A Basic Introduction.1 As is kindly manifested in the Preface to the Japanese Edition, I have had the honor of receiving a request from Dr. Bob Mesle, the author of this book (whose Japanese translation is re-entitled The Basis of Process Theology: A Novel and Intelligible Introduction), to write a response to two additional essays contained in the Japanese edition: Chapter 19, written by John Cobb, “On The Three Ultimates: God, Creativity, and the World,” and Chapter 20, written by Bob Mesle himself, “A Spiritual Autobiography.” I was more than willing to respond with all my capabilities to this thoughtful request which is expressive of an open stance of theologizing peculiar to him. Thus, I have written Chapter 21 “Reflections on the Three Ultimates: From the Perspective of a Theology of Loyalty,” which is the original essay out of which I am in the process of producing the present one. As the translator, I am thinking of writing my summary of the major contents of the book in the Translator’s Postscript. But presently in the original essay, I intended to confine myself to writing succinct reflections on the “three ultimates” from “the perspective of a theology of loyalty,” which is a long-standing theological thesis of mine. With this intention in mind, I have then proceeded to concentrate on the focus of my recent academic concern, which is to find a solution to “the mystery of creativity.” I am basing the present essay on the original one but want to make it more articulate in order to pursue and elucidate as much as possible the question as to why what I call “the mystery of creativity” is internally related to the adequacy of reflections on the three ultimates (i.e., God, creativity, and the world).

    “To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes by Brett Pardy B.A., The University of the Fraser Valley, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication Faculty of Communication, Art, and Technology Brett Pardy 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2016 Approval Name: Brett Pardy Degree: Master of Arts Title: “To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes Examining Committee: Chair: Frederik Lesage Assistant Professor Zoë Druick Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Adel Iskander Supervisor Assistant Professor Michael Ma External Examiner Faculty Member Department of Criminology Kwantlen Polytechnic University Date Defended/Approved: June 16, 2016 ii Abstract The Marvel comics film adaptations have been some of the most successful Hollywood products of the post 9/11 period, bringing formerly obscure cultural texts into the mainstream. Through an analysis of the adaptation process of Marvel Entertainment’s superhero franchise from comics to film, I argue that a hegemonic American model of militarization has been used by Hollywood as a discursive formation with which to transform niche properties into mass market products. I consider the locations of narrative ambiguities in two key comics texts, The Ultimates (2002-2007) and The New Avengers (2005-2012), as well as in the film The Avengers (2012), and demonstrate the significant reorientation of the film franchise towards the American military’s “War on Terror”. While Marvel had attempted to produce film adaptations for decades, only under the new “militainment” discursive formation was it finally successful.

But she can’t go home again—she left the Utopian Parallel when she was a little girl, after her moms died saving the entire Multiverse. America’s been on her own ever since, doing her best to be a hero just like them. And lately her friends all seem to have problems of their own, what with Loki seemingly being a full-on bad guy again and bestie Kate Bishop (a.k.a. the real Hawkeye) now doing her own thing out on the West Coast.

Through an analysis of the adaptation process of Marvel Entertainment’s superhero franchise from comics to film, I argue that militarization has been used by Hollywood as a discursive formation with which to transform niche properties into mass market products.

While Marvel had attempted to produce film adaptations for decades, only under the new “militainment” discursive formation was it finally successful. I argue that superheroes are malleable icons, known largely by the public by their image and perhaps general character traits rather than their narratives. Militainment is introduced through a discourse of realism provided by Marvel Studios as an indicator that the property is not just for children. Keywords: militarization, popular film, comic books, adaptation 1. Introduction Nick Fury, head of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D) tells his team of assembled superheroes: “there was an idea… called the Avengers Initiative.
