The story of this movie is complicated; when the main character rises from villain character. Those main characters are Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, El Diablo, Killer Croc, Slipknot and Enchantress. They are the member of Task Force X team which is created by government staff, Amanda Waller. The team is led Colonel Flag and he is supported by his bodyguard, Katana. The team consisting of villain people are obligated to do the heroic job. This movie makes new paradigm about main character in the movie. Commonly main character in a movie is protagonist character such as nice guy, good attitude and noble man, however in this movie the main characters is villain which play a role as protagonist. The researcher wants to analyze how the main character is shifting in this movie. It is that the main character who is played by villain can replace hero characterization and in this case they play a role as protagonist or antagonist character. Therefore, the researcher uses deconstruction theory of Jean Jacques Derrida and film theory of Ami Villarejo to gain the result of this problem. This is uses qualitative method with narrative approach. As the result of this analysis, the researcher finds how the villain character can shifting into protagonist character and they are can shift into hero characterization too. It is that can be happen depend on the situation. Keywords: Character, Protagonist, Antagonist, Villain, Hero and Deconstruction Theory. v FROM VILLAIN TO HERO: FROM ANTAGONIST TO PROTAGONIST; DECONSTRUCTION SUICIDE SQUAD By: Mahfud Sya’roni ABSTRAK Suicide Squad adalah film yang bertemakan pahlawan. Cerita dalam film ini cukup rumit, ketika menjadikan tokoh penjahat sebagai tokoh utama. Tokoh utama tersebut adalah Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, El Diablo, Killer Croc, Slipknot dan Enchantress. Mereka tergabung dalam Task Force X tim yang dibentuk oleh staf pemerintahan yaitu Amanda Waller. Tim dipimpin oleh kolonel Flag dan dia dibantu Katana sebagai pelindung pribadinya. Tim yang terdiri dari para penjahat ditugaskan untuk mengerjakan tugas kepahlawanan. Pada umumnya tokoh utama dalam sebuah film diperankan oleh tokoh seperti orang yang menyenangkan, memiliki etitude yang baik dan orang terhormat, tapi dalam film ini tokoh utama diperankan oleh para penjahat yang memerankan protagonis. Peneliti ingin meneliti bagaimana peran tokoh utama bergeser dalam film ini. Tokoh utama yang diperankan oleh para penjahat apakah dapat menganti peranan pahlawan dan dalam hal ini mereka berperan sebagai protagonis atau antagonis karakter. Oleh karena itu, peneliti menggunakan teori dekonstruksi dari Jean Jacques Derrida dan teori film dari Ami Villarejo untuk mendapatkan hasil dari permasalahan ini. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan narasi. Sebagai hasil dari penelitian ini, peneliti menemukan bagaimana tokoh penjahat dapat berpindah menjadi tokoh protagonis dan mereka juga dapat berpindah sebagai tokoh pahlawan juga. Hal tersebut terjadi tergantung dengan kondisi. Kata Kunci: Tokoh, Protagonis, Antagonis, Penjahat, Pahlawan, dan Teori Deconstruction. vi DEDICATION TO My parents, Hafidz (RIP) and Alfiah My sister, Afifahtul Chsanah My teachers and my lectures, My best friends, English Department of Sunan Kalijaga Islamic State University. vii MOTTO Everything is Easy, Nothing is Impossible viii ACKNOWLEDGMENT Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Alhamdulilaahi robbil’alamin, First of all, I would like to thank to Allah SWT, who blesses me every time and everywhere.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • AP English Literature Required Reading
    Kerr High School AP English Literature Summer Reading 2019 Welcome to AP Literature! I’m fairly certain you are parched and thirsty for some juicy reading after a year of analyzing speeches and arguments, so let us jump right in. After months of deliberation and careful consideration, I have chosen several pieces from as far back as 429 BC Athens, to 1200 AD Scotland, venturing on to Africa 1800s, and finishing up in 20th century Chicago. Grab your literary passport and join me as we meet various tragic heroes and discover their tragic flaws and tragic mistakes. You will learn the difference between an Aristotelian tragic hero and a Shakespearean tragic hero, not to mention gain a whole bunch of insight into the human condition and learn some ancient Greek in the process. I made sure each piece is available in PDF online. If you choose to use the online documents, be certain you are able to annotate and have quick access to the annotated text for class discussions. The only AP 4 summer writing you will do is five reading record cards. Four of your reading record cards could include all of the required summer reading pieces. It is my expectation that you earnestly read, annotate, and ponder each of the required pieces and be ready to launch into discussion after your summer reading exam. Heavily annotated notes on the four attached tragic hero articles and your handwritten reading record cards will count as one major grade and are due Thursday, August 15, by 3:00 pm. Instructions for the reading record cards are attached.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

    The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults Volume 8, No.1: July 2017 www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya Dreaming in Color: Identifying Race and Ethnicity in YA Speculative Fiction Reviews Jewel Davis, Belk Library and Information Commons, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC Abstract Speculative fiction is a popular YA genre that has shown a lack of diversity through the years. With the most recent call for diverse youth literature, librarians and youth advocates are in need of authentic diverse speculative fiction titles to promote. This study analyzed 2,994 reviews for YA speculative fiction published between 2010 and 2015, and identified 380 titles containing racially or ethnically diverse major characters. This study reports on what racial and ethnic diversity is present in current published YA speculative fiction and addresses issues found with racial and ethnic identification in two major review sources. The data presented and calls to action included can be used to continue the discussion of authentic diverse representation in YA speculative fiction. Introduction Speculative fiction takes readers on adventures exploring imaginary worlds and ideas not yet possible in our reality. It is a genre that pushes our considerations of and answers to “What if?” to their maximum. It is a genre that creates the impossible through magic and technology, explains the peculiar using creatures from myths and legends, and chills the bones with horrors from the dark night. Through their craft, authors build worlds unlike our own that nevertheless reflect our society and human nature, mirror our fears and fantasies, and interpret our dreams and desires.
