The film Captain America: Civil War was a cinematic treatment of the story, albeit focusing more on the issue of government control rather than public knowledge of secret identities, matters also being escalated by the interference and manipulation of Helmut Zemo as his plan for revenge for the Avengers' role in Ultron's assault and the deaths of Zemo's family. They confront him about him, letting him know they are aware of his actions, but choose to bury the story for the sake of maintaining harmony. The movie version of Civil War also differs from the comic substantially, with the fate of Bucky Barnes being a key element of the war after he is framed for the Civil War: Front Line Book 2 of the Black Panther's father, the king of Wakanda.

  • Spider-Man: Not Far from Military Propaganda (Script) the Marvel
    Spider-Man: Not Far From Military Propaganda (script) The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is an umbrella term for all Marvel-based cinema released under Disney since its purchase in 2009. This includes franchises such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, the Avengers, and more. In fact, the MCU is filled with over 770 characters! In 2016, Disney introduced the MCU’s newest, and youngest, Avenger– Spider-Man, otherwise known as Peter Parker, in Captain America: Civil War. Peter’s original characterization, as seen in previous films such as Spider-Man in 2002 and The Amazing Spider- Man in 2012, was changed completely to fit the MCU’s dynamic. These changes relate to Peter’s lack of depth, specifically, the MCU gives little to no background on his past or even a look into his mannerisms– Peter is said to have ADHD and tends to be too satirical for his own good). To be clear, the character rights of Spider-Man are owned by the company Sony, with a co-ownership deal with Disney to allow him in the MCU. All solo films of Spider-Man released after 2016, such as Homecoming and Far From Home, were produced by Sony. However, all other appearances of Spider-Man in MCU films like Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, were produced by Disney. In this presentation (and in my thesis), I argue Disney’s use of the MCU as military propaganda, with a specific focus on Spider-Man. Disney always had a dedication to promoting the military but due to audiences not having a positive reaction to American military propaganda, Disney changed directions with their free advertisement.

White At Avengers Academy, where veterans like Hank Pym and Tigra teach younger heroes in the ways of Avengerdom, one of the required courses is Superhuman Ethics Class. In this class, superpupils are presented with ethical dilemmas that crop up in the day-to-day “routine” of an Avenger, and then they are asked how they would handle them and why. We may recoil at the thought of Hank Pym teaching this class—the poster child for “Do what I say, not as I’ve done myself time and time again”— but such a class is essential to teach young heroes how to exercise the great responsibility that comes with great power.1 If you ask me, the most obvious teachers for Superhuman Ethics Class would be Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor, who were christened the “Avengers Prime” in a recent miniseries.2 I’m not claiming that these three are necessarily the most 5 cc01.indd01.indd 5 225/01/125/01/12 22:55:55 PPMM 6 MARK D.

  • The Life of a Civil War Soldier
    The Life of a Civil War Soldier _________________________________________________________________ Teacher Introduction: The Civil War was a personal war that often split towns, and in extreme cases, families between the Union and the Confederacy. This personal connection of fighting brother against brother permeated every aspect of the normal life of the Civil War Soldier. Their ‘enemy’ was once their countryman and this is a reality that cannot be forgotten or its impact diminished. Though each side often felt strongly about their cause and their rights, a Civil War will always be a traumatic struggle that either turns into revolution or ends in eventual reconciliation. Though volunteerism was high during the Civil War, both sides had to employ the draft to increase their numbers - the Confederacy in 1862 and the Union in 1863. Thus, the common soldiers fighting this war were from a variety of different backgrounds and ranged from the passionate fighter to the reluctant draftee. Both sides were also kinsmen, and Billy Reb and Johnny Yank (as they were generically known) shared many similarities. Their main differences stemmed from their available supplies, which were largely influenced by the economies of the North and South before the war broke out. The north, known for manufacturing, would end up dominating the south, which was rich in agriculture and little else. These differences would influence the lifestyle and morale of troops on each side of the conflict, especially as the war dragged on. This lesson strives to show the similarities and differences that made up the reality of the common soldier in blue or gray.
