Jason's Week 4: Marvel or DC

        For decades there have been debates on whether Marvel or DC is superior. Everyone who has read comics, loves superheroes, had action figures, or washed movies has indulged in a conversation about this. These are two of the most iconic and influential comic book publishers, with a wide variety of films based on their comics. Marvel Comics was founded in 1939, on groups and characters like the X-men and Avengers. DC comics was founded 1934 and introduced characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Both Marvel and DC have a wide variety of characters, teams, superheroes, and supervillains and the competition and mutual enjoyment for both of these production companies have led to awesome crossovers, such as The Avengers vs. The Justice League and Marvel vs. DC. 

         Since I was younger, I have always loved movies from both of these production companies, but I have always loved Marvel more. I have seen every movie in chronological order and all of the movies from every phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In my opinion, phase one and phase three are the best and have the most captivating, original, and interesting movies. I also find Marvel's strong emphasis on character development and their team dynamic more interesting and inspiring to an extent. Plus, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the all time highest-grossing franchise by almost 6 billion dollars. So clearly I'm not the only one who loves Marie and they are superior. Marvel also does a better job of intertwining all of their movies together and connecting the story lines. Lastly, over the many years Marvel has successfully rebooted its universe, for new generations, while keeping and respecting the legacy of its classic characters and comics.

    This was a great article with good points! I prefer Marvel as well since I grew up watching the movies and reading the comics more than the DC franchise. My favorite character in Marvel would have to be Deadpool because of his humor.

    Wow, I had no idea that these franchises were so old! I didn't grow up on either franchise so my knowledge of them is limited, but I prefer Marvel movies more; they have cool world building, and it helps that a central part of many movies is in a familiar place like New York instead of somewhere made up (Gotham). If I had to choose a favorite character, it would probably be the Hulk because he destroys things and is green.

    I personally prefer the Marvel franchise as well. While yes their more recent content has been kind of a let down, their original movies are still some of the best out there. DC movies and shows are typically very repetitive with recurring plots that are only interesting the first few times. While on the other hand, Marvel was able to create the whole cumulative story of the infinity saga. It was just so well made that if you rewatched any of the movie you could see how it was all set up for this big event since the very beginning.

    I feel like while Marvel has better movies the Dc universe has better comics. But if I had to pick one to say was my favorite I would pick Marvel. As for favorite character I would say Star-Lord also known as peter quill, I really love the character development he goes through.

Sarah - Week 4 - Florida whether is not a great as people say it is.

      Many people say that Florida's weather is great because it is sunny, happy, and never cold. However, in my opinion, there is such a thing as too much sun. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy the pain your eyes feel going from a neutral room to the bright outdoors. Sun also isn't necessarily good for you. Its main health benefits are that it can boost your mood and provide you with vitamin D. However, its negative health effects include damage to your skin, eyes, and immune system. Excessive skin damage from the sun can even cause skin cancer.     Another reason why I don't like Florida's weather is because it only has two seasons. It is either hurricane season, or it is extra hot. Plus, you don't get to experience the beautiful colors of the trees changing in fall or the gorgeous scenery of a white winter. A few Floridians have never even seen snow before. This is crazy to me since playing in the snow with my brothers was one of my favorite thi...

Leah Mousseri - Week 2 - A Book in a Game?!

Image
      In the 21st century, there's a game for everyone. From shooting games to simple farming simulators it's almost impossible to not find a video game that interests you. One category of video games that I think is disliked by many for the wrong reasons is visual novel games. These games largely consist of dialogue and are often slow-paced and more relaxing compared to other genres. Visual novel games focus more on the story and characters rather than things like puzzles or combat.       The most common argument that I've heard against these games is that they're the same as a regular visual novel and have little to no actual gameplay in them. From my personal experience playing games in this genre, this is true for many visual novel games. I have played games that almost entirely consist of dialogue with a few choices that determine which ending you get. In my opinion, these games aren't very entertaining unless the story is well-written and compell...

Zander 5: Why Do We Care About Remakes?

Image
  A pattern I’ve begun to notice recently is that many of the most popular video games and movies often tend to be remakes of old pieces of media. While the most obvious examples of this would be the remakes of old Disney movies that have been released over the past several years, there are many more examples of this. For example, one of the most popular games this year was the remake of Resident Evil 4, and one of the most anticipated upcoming releases is the remake of Persona 3. So why is this, and what is the interest of playing a game you’ve already played, or watching a movie you’ve already seen? Well, firstly, there’s the appeal to those who never played or watched the previous piece of media. The appeal to this group is obvious, as to them, it’s new content. Even if one already knows the plot and twists of a story, experiencing it first hand can still be entertaining. Even if  you’re already familiar with a piece of media, viewing or playing it’s remake doesn’t complete...
