NICK FURY: You are, bar none, the most selfish person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. IRON MAN: Hurtful words, Nicky…. I might cry. NICK FURY: Stark, I’m going to level with you. We need you to join this team. The world needs you…. I need you. IRON MAN: Awww, Nicky. You’re making me blush. NICK FURY: I’m serious; if the world ends you won’t have any one left to get money from. Don’t think about me, think about your money. IRON MAN: I do love my money. I guess sign me up. NICK FURY: Four Avengers, check. SCENE 3D (A beautiful sunny day at a hotel pool in Toronto. A bunch of sun-bathers are sitting by the pool, when She-Hulk walks by in her bathing suit.

  • Avengers and Its Applicability in the Swedish EFL-Classroom
    Master’s Thesis Avenging the Anthropocene Green philosophy of heroes and villains in the motion picture tetralogy The Avengers and its applicability in the Swedish EFL-classroom Author: Jens Vang Supervisor: Anne Holm Examiner: Anna Thyberg Date: Spring 2019 Subject: English Level: Advanced Course code: 4ENÄ2E 2 Abstract This essay investigates the ecological values present in antagonists and protagonists in the narrative revolving the Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The analysis concludes that biocentric ideals primarily are embodied by the main antagonist of the film series, whereas the protagonists mainly represent anthropocentric perspectives. Since there is a continuum between these two ideals some variations were found within the characters themselves, but philosophical conflicts related to the environment were also found within the group of the Avengers. Excerpts from the films of the study can thus be used to discuss and highlight complex ecological issues within the EFL-classroom. Keywords Ecocriticism, anthropocentrism, biocentrism, ecology, environmentalism, film, EFL, upper secondary school, Avengers, Marvel Cinematic Universe Thanks Throughout my studies at the Linneaus University of Vaxjo I have become acquainted with an incalculable number of teachers and peers whom I sincerely wish to thank gratefully. However, there are three individuals especially vital for me finally concluding my studies: My dear mother; my highly supportive girlfriend, Jenniefer; and my beloved daughter, Evie. i Vang ii Contents 1 Introduction

  • Goblin Nation Free
    FREE GOBLIN NATION PDF Jean Rabe | 320 pages | 10 Oct 2009 | Wizards of the Coast | 9780786951536 | English | United States Goblin Nation (Earth) | Marvel Database | Fandom Spider-Man's activities as a solo New York City-based crime fighter, member of the Avengers, and former member of the Future Foundation has made him one of the most connected heroes in the Goblin Nation Universeand that didn't change when the consciousness of his old foe Doctor Octopus AKA Otto Octavius took command of his body. What did change was the established dynamics between Spidey and many of his fellow heroes. The Superior Spider-Man's brand of egotistical and often violent heroics has rubbed many heroes the wrong way, and the former Doc Goblin Nation isn't shy about voicing his opinions about the so-called "heroes" that cross his path. These new, sometimes contentious, and often explosive dynamics are chronicled every month in the Goblin Nation "Superior Spider-Man Team- Up. How does that feel? And I imagine even with your busy schedule working on television shows like "Mad" and "Robot Chicken" the opportunity to tell stories that team Spider-Man with various characters in the Marvel Universe was to good to pass up. Kevin Shinick: That's exactly right. In fact, I'm thrilled, because the one person I enjoy teaming Spider-Man up with the most is me! So when an opportunity like this comes along I instinctively say yes. It's like a spider-sense that kicks in on its own. Only it comes out of my mouth.

  • Put on the Mask
    Alternate Scripts - Superheroes PUT ON THE MASK An Alternate Script for The Play's The Thing By Brian Engard For more information about The Play's The Thing and Magpie Games, visit us at www.magpiegames.com/theplay Alternate Scripts - Superheroes Biff! Bam! Pow! We all know what superheroes are. They can do things no normal person can, stand against forces the rest of us can't hope to combat, represent the ideals of our society -- even if they're ideals we've forgotten ourselves -- and they act as a beacon and an example for the rest of us. Superheroes also get into great, exciting fights and wear colorful Spandex uniforms. For all the dizzying number of superheroes (and villains!) out there, they're each subtly different from one another, each driven by his or her own motivations and background. Oh sure, eye lasers and the ability to fly are flashy and exciting and cool, but it's the human drama, the relationships and mortal struggles of these sometimes godlike beings that grounds them, makes them relatable, and makes us keep watching them. Sometimes superhero drama comes from the hero's need to see justice -- or vengeance -- done. Sometimes it's a need to protect that which the hero holds dear. Sometimes it's the struggle that comes with suddenly being thrust into a mantle of great power, and the enormous responsibility that comes with it. The only difference between a superhero and a supervillain is how the individual character reacts to these motives, how far she or he is willing to go to see justice -- or vengeance -- done, what lengths the character is willing to go to to protect something, or how the hero -- or villain -- handles that mantle of power and responsibility.
