  • 2013 7 24 Avengers of Campaign Finance
    Objecting to the Declaration of Independence? By Zac Morgan and Joe Trotter Daily Caller Published July 24, 2013 If campaign finance laws exist in the movies, Iron Man can contribute to whatever candidate or party he wants, but the Incredible Hulk cannot. In fact, if the Hulk makes a contribution, he could face a prison sentence of up to five years — not that any prison could hold him. Consider the strange case of Dr. Bruce Banner, the Hulk’s alter ego. In the film “The Incredible Hulk,” Dr. Banner is a researcher at the fictional Culver University working with the military on radiological experiments. Presumably, Banner was paid for this work by the federal government through a Pentagon contract. In doing so, Dr. Banner’s right to contribute was, well, smashed. You see, while under present law, most Americans are permitted to give up to $2,600 to any candidate of their choosing, federal contractors are forced to forfeit that right. Things are different for Iron Man, AKA Tony Stark, the CEO of Stark Industries. The fictional Stark Industries has boatloads of government contracts. In the first Iron Man movie, Tony Stark is captured in Afghanistan by terrorists shortly after demonstrating the effectiveness of a new type of missile—“the weapon you only have to fire once”—to the U.S. military. Earlier in the film, Tony boasts to a reporter for Vanity Fair about technological breakthroughs in medicine and “intelli-crops” funded by his company’s military contracts. But because Iron Man is not a sole proprietor, his constitutional rights are shielded.

  • An Analysis on Racism and the Characterization of Marvel's Avengers
    投稿類別:英文寫作類 Are the Avengers Too White? An Analysis on Racism and the Characterization of Marvel’s Avengers 作者: 林育葳 國立新竹女子高級中學 二年一班 指導老師: 康雅蘭老師 Are the Avengers Too White? An Analysis on Racism and the Characterization of Marvel’s Avengers I. Introduction 1. Motivation and Purpose It has been 10 years since Marvel Studios released its first movie, Iron Man. From Iron Man to the latest movie Black Panther, all the Marvel solo movies are arranged for its most famous series, Avengers, which makes the Avengers series highly-anticipated. The Avengers was the first Marvel movie that hit more than 1 billion at the box office, and its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron, was also exalted by fans all around the world. In addition, The Avengers also influences the way movies are made. Before the launch of Iron Man, most movies only told one story that was not related to any other movie. On the contrary, after the Marvel Studios announced the release dates of Avengers movie series and its related solo movies, the concept of “Universe” was formed, which means plots of movies in the same “Universe” are associated with one another. One of the reasons that makes Avengers fascinating and successful is its characters. Avengers consists of several well-known superheroes with different abilities and personalities. Not only the interaction of the characters but the growth of each of them contributes to the attractiveness of the movie. After watching the movie, I was also enchanted by these characters. However, it is also noticeable that the members of Avengers are all White, which arouses my curiosity: Why are these characters all White? Does the character’s ethnic have anything to do with the society’s atmosphere in the era he/she was created? 2.

  • Female Representation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
    Volume 10 Issue 2 (2021) AP Research Superheroines and Sexism: Female Representation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Folukemi Olufidipe1, Ms. Yunex Echezabal1 1Doral Academy Charter High School, Miami, FL, USA DOI: https://doi.org/10.47611/jsrhs.v10i2.1430 ABSTRACT The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the highest-grossing film franchise of all time and since the premiere of Iron Man in 2008, it has risen to fame as a source of science-fiction entertainment. Sexism in the film industry often goes brushed aside but the widespread success of Marvel Studios calls attention to their treatment of gender roles. This paper explores the progression of six female superheroes in the MCU and what effect feminist movements have had on their roles as well as upcoming productions in the franchise. This paper used an interdisciplinary, mixed- methods design that studied movie scripts and screen time graphs. 14 MCU movies were analyzed through a feminist film theory lens and whenever a female character of interest was chosen, notes were taken on aspects including, but not limited to, dialogue, costume design, and character relationships. My findings showed that females in the MCU are heavily sexualized by directors, costume designers, and even their male co-stars. As powerful as some of these women were found to be, it was concluded that Marvel lacks in female inclusivity. Marvel’s upcoming productions, many of which are female-focused, still marginalize the roles of their superheroines which is a concern for the future of the film industry. Marvel is just one franchise but this study shows how their treatment of female characters uphold patriarchal structures and perpetuate harmful stereotypes that need to be corrected in the film industry as a whole.

  • Iron Man 3 Notes
    ADVANCE rom Marvel Studios comes “Iron Man 3,” which continues the epic, big-screen adventures of the world’s favorite billionaire-inventor-Super Hero, Tony Stark aka FIron Man. Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man? Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968, “Iron Man 3” returns Robert Downey Jr. (“Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,” “Tropic Thunder”) as Tony Stark, the iconic Super Hero, along with Gwyneth Paltrow (“Thanks for Sharing,” “Contagion”) as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle (“Flight,” “Hotel Rwanda”) as James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Guy Pearce (“The Hurt Locker,” “Memento”) as Aldrich Killian, Rebecca Hall (“The Prestige,” “The Town,”) as Maya Hansen, Jon Favreau ( “Identity Thief,” “People Like Us”) as Happy Hogan and Ben Kingsley (“Schindler’s List,” “Gandhi,”) as The Mandarin.

  • A Film Review: Iron Man 3 Genre(S): Science Fiction, Action Running
    Tsang Chung Hin (4D) A film review: Iron Man 3 Genre(s): Science Fiction, Action Running time: 130 minutes Director: Shane Black Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Gwyneth Paltrow Tony Stark recalls a New Year’s Eve party in 1999 where he meets scientist Maya Hansen, the inventor of Extremis. They undergo an experimental regenerative treatment which allows crippling injuries to recover. The disabled scientist Aldrich Killian offers them a place in his company to do the experiment. But Stark rejects the offer and humiliates Killian. Six months after the Battle of New Year, Stark experiences the alien invasion. He has built several dozen Iron Man suits. He has an argument with his girlfriend, Pepper Potts. Meanwhile, a terrorist has left the intelligence agencies. His security guard Happy Hogan is badly injured in an attack. He survives that attack but the world believes he has died. Then he starts his revenge and saves his girlfriend. This movie is one of the Marvel movies. This may be the last series of Iron Man. Iron Man 3 is more exciting than Iron Man 1 and 2. The story plot and the fighting scenes are good. The iron man suit is so real. Robert Downey Jr. acting as Tony Stark is especially good. He actually acts what Tony Stark should feel. His jokes make the film not so boring. That’s why I love him and his acting so much. Though this may be the last series of Iron Man, I hope to see more Iron Man films starring Robert Downey Jr.

  • LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Iron Man 3"
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Iron Man 3" Published May 8th, 2013 "Iron Man 3" By Derek Zemrak Super hero fans, especially Avengers fans, have been waiting with great anticipation for the release of "Iron Man 3." Most fans of this genre will not be disappointed as "Iron Man 3" delivers a one-two punch of action-packed intense scenes with some timely humor thrown in. Tony Stark, portrayed by Robert Downey, Jr., puts on the metal suit as the world is being attacked by the evil terrorist The Mandarin, played by Oscar winner Ben Kingsley ("Gandhi"). The Mandarin is no Gandhi and Kingsley's performance is not worth an Oscar, as it is a little excessive at times. But then again, this is a movie based on comic book characters. The other supporting cast members include Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow ("Shakespeare in Love") as Stark's love interest and sidekick, Pepper Potts. Oscar nominee Don Cheadle ("Hotel Rwanda") plays Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes. British actor Guy Pearce ("The Hurt Locker," "Moonrise Kingdom") gives a stellar performance as the troubled scientist, Aldrich Killian, who is still haunted by being shunned by Stark years ago. So what is an evil man supposed to do? Get Revenge! "Iron Man 3" is co-written and directed by Shane Black, who set the bar for action flicks in 1987 with "Lethal Weapon." The two previous Iron Man films were directed by indie favorite, Jon Favreau. Black brings his witty style to "Iron Man 3," which the audience will truly enjoy. The film is already setting records at the box office, boasting the second highest grossing film for a weekend opening with $175.3 million at the ticket counter.
