    69 Changing Icons: The Symbols of New York City in Film TERRI MEYER BOAKE University of Waterloo These architectural symbols also begin to differ- entiate “new” cities, whose prominent building are entirely contemporary, from “old” cities, whose icons begin to show, even by silhouette, the evo- lution of the architectural style that has come to represent the culture or zeitgeist of the place. The icons of Dubai all reside in the present. The collec- tion of symbols that represents London is capable of placing it in the past through the use of Big Ben or St. Paul’s, or in the present, via the London Eye. Likewise for Paris, the past and present are contrasted through the Eiffel Tower and the Lou- vre Pyramid.

  • The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (Marvel, 1965)
    The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (Marvel, 1965) First appearances of three well-known supporting characters in the Spider-Man saga, namely Gwen Stacy, Professor Warren, and also Harry Osborn. Steve Ditko cover art. There is a CGC 9.6 Twin Cities pedigree copy. #10 most valuable 1 st appearance 1965 silver age Marvel comic. Print run estimate: 320,000 copies. Gwendolyn Maxine "Gwen" Stacy is a fictional character who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as a supporting character in those featuring Spider-Man. A college student, Gwen was originally the first true love of Peter Parker before she was murdered by his nemesis Norman Osborn. Spider-Man writers and fans alike often debate whether Peter's "one true love" is Gwen Stacy, or his subsequent love interest, Mary Jane Watson, though stories written long after her death indicate that Gwen still holds a special place in his heart. The character has been portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard in the 2007 film Spider-Man 3 and by Emma Stone as Peter Parker's friend and love interest in the 2012 reboot film The Amazing Spider-Man and the sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, she first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (December 1965). The Green Goblin kidnapped and threw Gwen Stacy off the George Washington Bridge in The Amazing Spider-Man#121 (June 1973) after his Goblin persona returned as a result of stress in his life. Both the decision to kill Gwen and the method in which Marvel implemented it remain controversial among fans because some believe that Peter himself was the one that caused her death.

  • 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.

  • A Time Series Study on Marvel from 2000 - 2009: Marvel’S Movies Impact Relative to Stock Price
    9th Global Business Conference February 7, 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines A Time Series Study on Marvel from 2000 - 2009: Marvel’s Movies Impact Relative to Stock Price Junius W. Yu De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: Marvel studios have provided an interesting study for many business students particularly generating more than $1.5 billion box office receipts for the movie “Avengers” last 2012. Disney bought Marvel for $4.24 billion and the question arises from the valuation of the company relative to the acquisition price. The study focuses on Marvel Entertainment’s impact from movie releases relative to stock price. A time series analysis was used in gathering Marvel’s daily stock price changes from 2000 – 2009. This was also used in parallel to 20 movies released by Marvel within that time period. The behavior of the market was examined using the GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model and the EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average). A linear regression was used in testing the hypothesis on whether gross sales of movies and movie release (development, pre-production, production, post-production and release) have any significant to changes in stock price. GARCH (1,1) was used to measure the outliers for the signaling effect relative to huge changes on the time series data. The data results provided no empirical evidences due to relatively large p- values; however the spike of increase in changes were identified due to the release of Spider- Man 2 in 2004 and Iron Man in 2008. The conclusion of the study reflected on the impact Marvel has on mainstream Hollywood perhaps not on the valuation, but the future business earnings it may generate in the next decade.
