    Earth-717: Avengers Vol 1 Chapter 10: Suicide Mission “My, my, my! To have so many of our friends together in the same place! I know that it is under quite distressing circumstances, but still, it's wonderful to have such a congregation!” Steve, Tasha, Thor, Bruce, Carol, Reed, Susan, Johnny, Ben and Herbie were all in one of the hangars on board the Valiant. The Rogue One had been moved from the Senatorium to the Valiant earlier that day, and Tasha had finished installing her new upgrade to the ship. Hundreds of other Nova pilots and officers were moving around the hangar, preparing for the battle ahead. Herbie bounced up and down as he looked around at the group. “To see the Fantastic Four ready to go into battle alongside such brave and noble heroes like yourselves! It is truly remarkable, is it not, Doctor Richards?” “It sure is,” said Reed. “You've got quite a team.” “Put it together at the last minute,” said Tasha. “Since somebody decided that they wanted an interstellar vacation at the worst possible time.” “Hey!” said Johnny. “Wasn't my fault! Blame these guys! I just went along for the ride!” Ben gave Johnny a light smack on the back of the head. “Nobody asked you, junior.” Johnny grumbled as he tried to fix his hair. Reed laughed before looking back Steve. “Don't suppose you'd like to tell me how I'm standing across from Captain America?” “I guess that a man of science like yourself would be interested in that sort of thing,” said Steve.

  • Avengers Vol 1 Chapter 7: Space Pirates Within Seconds, the Entire
    Earth-717: Avengers Vol 1 Chapter 7: Space Pirates Within seconds, the entire Senatorium was in chaos. The Dark Revenant opened fire on the Nova cruisers surrounding the space station, completely taking them by surprise. The two Pariahs also fired their main laser cannons, and together managed to effortlessly slice apart a Nova warship. The smaller Skrull vessels moved in on the defensive fleet, and the Skrull starfighters began swarming around any targets within range. Adora immediately gathered the Senate members and had them surrounded by Nova guards. The crowds began screaming and panicking, fleeing in all directions. Adora looked at the heroes as the Supreme Intelligence's hologram faded. “I'm getting the Senate out of here! If you want to help . then help.” Before any of the heroes could respond, the Dark Revenant launched multiple interceptor craft. These were cylindrical shuttles that struck the hull of the Senatorium and started drilling through them. While a handful were shot down by the Senatorium's turrets, a few of them still managed to latch on to the exterior of the station. Once holes were pierced by their drills, Skrull and Mekkan troops began flooding inside. Steve turned back to Adora. “We'll help your people fight them off however we can. Get the Senate to safety!” Adora hurriedly nodded before rushing off after the Senate and their guards. Steve held up his shield. Tasha equipped her repulsors and locked her helmet in place. Carol charged both of her hands with energy and started to hover. Thor held his hammer at the ready.

  • 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.

    The entire galaxy is a mess. Warring empires and cosmic terrorists plague every corner. Someone has to rise above it all and fight for those who have no one to fight for them. A group of misfits--Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Flash Thompson, a.k.a. Venom--joined together under the leadership of Peter Quill, Star-Lord. With new members Kitty Pryde and Ben Grimm, a.k.a. The Thing, they serve a higher cause as the… Hala, the last surviving Kree Accuser, holds the Guardians responsible for the destruction of her homeworld. She’s pledged to punish them by razing both of Peter Quill’s homeworlds: Spartax and Earth. On Spartax, the Guardians were helpless to stop Hala as she rampaged through the capital and stranded Peter in orbit. When they tried to escape and rescue him, Hala gave chase. Gamora threw herself at their pursuer, and now lies beaten on the surface of Spartax. As the only remaining members of the Galactic Council, Annihilus and the Brood Queen have begun clandestine power grabs. The Queen already arranged a meeting with Yotat—a murderous brute who’s been asking after the Guardians of the Galaxy.

  • Loves. Tears Streaming Down His Face, Thanos Throws His 'Daughter' Gamora Over the Cliff and Gets the 'Soul' Stone
    loves. Tears streaming down his face, Thanos throws his ‘daughter’ Gamora over the cliff and gets the ‘soul’ stone. A team of superheroes fight Thanos to keep the ‘time’ stone away from him, and their plan to strip him of his power nearly works, however Gamora’s lover learns of her death, and deviates from the plan in his rage and desire to avenge her, and Thanos gets the ‘time’ stone. Now in possession of all but the last stone, the ‘mind’ stone, Thanos goes to Earth. The superhero Vision was created by both Tony Stark’s artificial intelligence ‘JARVIS’ and the ‘mind’ stone, which sits on his head. It’s part of what makes him who he is, and keeps him alive. Vision offers to sacrifice himself so that they can destroy the ‘mind’ stone, and prevent Thanos from achieving his goal. Captain America insists that ‘trading lives’ is wrong, and takes Vision to the country of Wakanda, where scientists begin working on separating him from the stone without killing him. The heroes battle Thanos’ forces, but they ultimately are unable to stop him. Thanos kills Vision and gets the sixth stone, and the film ends as he snaps his fingers, erasing half of all life in the universe. Infinity War is relevant to this study not only for the decisions made by superhero characters, but also by the villain, Thanos, who believes that the solution to universe- wide overpopulation is to kill half its inhabitants. A multitude of other popular science fiction films have explored the concept of world-ending ‘overpopulation’, also known as Malthusianism, including Inferno (2016), Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), Snowpiercer (2013), and Soylent Green (1973), along with many others (Rao, 2018; Shermer, 2016).
