Vonnegut Analysis on “Superman” Episode 1

by @Ms_AmandaP

| #superherostories, Syndicated
September 14, 2017

Kurt Vonnegut is definitely onto something to point out the stories have shapes that can be drawn off of an axis. There is a typical “normal” that sets the axis at zero. Then from “normal” things can either go bad or good. In the first episode of “Superman” that I watched, the “normal” started off […]

For my superhero writing assignment, I picked the “A Day in the Life of a Superhero” assignment. I was drawn to the random superhero generator, because I’m still brainstorming for my character dossier, and I wanted to save my best ideas for that. I went into the generator and selected a) a random name and …

Reflecting on Superheroes

by @Ms_AmandaP

| Syndicated
September 14, 2017

Reading the article “How Ancient Legends Gave Birth to Modern Superheroes,” gave me a deeper insight as to what determines a superhero in the genre. I liked that they use a scale method versus a simple “yes/no” approach. I think heroes can be all types of “people” with different intentions and backgrounds, but that shouldn’t […]

Finding My Cape

by @shleighduque

September 14, 2017

I’ll admit that I had a very narrow-minded opinion about superheroes. The First Ever Superman Cartoon had a lot of qualities I’d associated with the genre since I was young. Because of this story, and other popular tales like Spiderman and X-Men, I considered their traits to be nothing but unattainable ideals. Some common tropes were the need to disguise themselves … Continue reading Finding My Cape

September 14, 2017

What makes a superhero? Is it someone with an elaborate costume? Someone with strong physical ability? Or someone who has superhuman characteristics? Well according to pop culture, yes. But a superhero (without the super) is someone that we look up to and someone who guides us and encourages us to do the right thing. … Continue reading su·per·he·ro →

DAMN IT I was supposed to be awake by 8:00 this morning, but it looks like I accidentally pulsed my phone when my alarm went off…again. Having the power of magnetic pulse is all fun and games until you’re half-asleep and cranky. Now it’s noon, and I am really. freaking. late. On the bright side, …

So going off the episode of the Tick that I just watched, and the Shape of Stories the episode kind of starts out somewhere in the middle of the graph because The Tick is trying to prove himself and show off his powers but it’s not going very well. He’s down and bored, doesn’t quite …

What is a superhero?

by @OliviaBreler

| ds106, Syndicated
September 13, 2017

So I read How Ancient Legends Gave Birth to Modern Superheroes and I watched The Tick, S01E01. The article was eyeopening to me due to the fact that the word “superhero” to me has always been associated with capes and superpowers like flying or shooting spider webs from your hands. It’s interesting to kind of expand on …

Monologue from the Perspective of a Household Appliance

I hum to life groggily. It’s making me nauseous, being constantly unplugged and plugged back in. You’d think I’d have earned my own outlet by now. The microwave gets its own outlet, and I’m way more important than that overly chipper toaster. That thing is so annoying, always springing to life. How does it have …

September 12, 2017

I really enjoyed how Jess Nevins defined a superhero in his book. He basically stated that there is no concrete definition of a superhero, but instead one should apply fuzzy logic when defining a superhero. That means people should “…consider superheroes on a continuum…” From Narcisse’s article there is no continuum provided, so I decided […]
