    If this movie wasn’t anything like the comics than people would be pissed. So they had to use logos, another rhetoric phase, in order to get statistics on deadpool and who he is. They also had to know his personality, hobbies, etc… So they used their logic in order to make a good movie and not something of great disappointment. They capture his attitude and way of thinking very well because of the knowledge and logic. In conclusion they made tons of money and an awesome movie, rhetoric is a part of our everyday life and some of us don't even realize this. Now I will be open to thinking about the ethos, logos, and pathos about everything i…

    DeScioli and Kurzban clarify some of the psychological aspects of morality that make superheroes different from war heroes. Most superheroes in their dilemmas refuse to kill one person to save others, this is what happened in Superman #171 .As he was asked to either kill someone or the planet earth will be destroyed, but he refused to do this .Superheroes’ actions oppose the utilitarianism of John Stuart and Jeremy Bentham, which indicates that it is best to act to maximize welfare. However, their actions support the view of Immanuel Kant. Kant states that welfare gains cannot give grounds for horrible actions like killing. The writers say that superheroes focus in within-group conflict, while war heroes concentrate in between-group conflict. Superheroes are crime fighters who are famous for their morals, while war heroes are known for their number of kills. The authors also explain that the rise of the crime fighters that occurred might be due to in modern times, dangers of war are reduced and crime is rising. Also the authors state that superheroes show three aspects of moral psychology that makes them different from war heroes. First, Third-Party Moral Judgment as superheroes do not mind their own business, and they participate in third-party intervention in moral violations. Unlike, war heroes who only fight to defend themselves .The writers support their point by stating that Spider-Man is always snooping around. Second, Moralistic Punishment as in most superheroes’ lores they were able to distinguish between justice and revenge .Third, superheroes have moral impartiality as they enforce moral principles without taken in consideration friendship, alliances, or enemies.…

    America's Anti-Hero

    In Stephen Garrett’s article, Why We Love TV’s Anti-Heroes, he shows how the heros of today are different from those of the past because they have changed with the world. The focus has shifted from the flat out hero, to a hero that has everyday issues like everyone else, making the character easier to identify with. Our culture today is enthralled with the anti-hero because the character is realistic to people in our society now, rather than someone who is held up on a pedestal for being perfect. Instead of the typical “superman” like plot where the pure hero has to be something other than human to be that perfect, Stephen Garrett offers the idea of the anti-hero being so popular because it resembles the average person who has struggles and does the right thing. There is also a certain sexiness to the anti-hero which we can partially blame hollywood for. Hollywood casts the anti-hero in such a way that the role demands a certain amount of charm and seductiveness. He is the one who will surprise everyone and do the right thing in the end; whereas a villain will never be able to conquer his urges to do something bad because in his heart he really wants to be bad.…

    Deadpool Vs. Deathstroke

    Deadpool, a.k.a., “The Merc with the Mouth” was first drafted into the comic book scene when he was placed in The New Mutants #98 in February 1991. Deadpool is considered one of the most popular comic book anti-heroes of all time. Deadpool, whose true name is Wade Winston Wilson, was made subject to the Canadian Government’s “Department K,” whose main goal was to make living weapons out of people with “special abilities.” This Department K oversaw the Weapon X program. The Weapon X program’s main function was to take these already special people and further enhance their natural ability, typically without their consent. Deadpool willingly consented to Department K after learning that he had developed terminal cancer and received a promise of a cure. Department K immediately placed Deadpool in the Weapon X program and given the regenerative property that they had siphoned from Wolverine in years past. This came as a double-edged sword, however. The regenerative property was thought to simply accelerate any kind of healing factor the human body might have, primarily cell growth. This very property, however, also…

    First and foremost, Deadpool is a mercenary in the truest sense of the word, he’ll take money from anybody for anything…or at least he used to. In his earliest renditions, before he obtained his own comic, he was shown as a villain out to kill the mutant Cable for a mysterious benefactor named Mr. Tolliver (The New Mutants #98, 1990). Initially, the character is portrayed as an intelligent and sarcastic with a limited set of morals in that he doesn’t kill unnecessarily, but doesn’t look too closely into whether he’s going after good guys, bad guys, or just low level thugs. Not much is known about the character’s backstory until 1997 when he received his own comic series and we find out that Wade Wilson was a failed result of the Weapon X program with was supposed to infuse the mercenary with Wolverine’s healing factor, but backfired horrifically (Deadpool: The Circle Chase, 1993). Once he obtains his own series the character is fleshed out and his morality is explored more closely.…

    The Hero’s Journey is an important concept, it is the template upon which a vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbuster are based upon. Being able to analyze, understand and deconstruct the different capacities undertaken by the Hero is essential. The Hero’s Journey is a cycle made of super structures/steps which consists of both linkages and connections. It is composed of a beginning and an end, which ultimately are the same. This full cycle is attained through periods of loss and gain (hardship) which in turn are subdivided into different sections, composed of micro mini stages which together act as stepping stones leading the hero full circle back to the beginning.…

    In a world where society’s ideals change every decade or so, it comes as a surprise to many that the conflicted, complex, and troubled archetype still draws people in. In the 1800s, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson, drew people in with its drama, intrigue, and its characters. The readers were enthralled with the relationship of Jekyll and Hyde and how they interacted. This relationship was never forgotten as it is still used today. This archetype can also be seen in the Marvel character Deadpool. He may save a life one minute, and then kill the same person the next. Deadpool is hated like Hyde, yet also loved like Jekyll. This archetype is perfect for comic book characters because they tend to…

    Half of the person we become is an impression of the ones we admire. Growing up in the United States every child has someone they look up to. This most likely is an individual that represents success and the values we are taught to respect. Superheroes have always served as something good in our lives because they make us want to help the world and feel like we can do anything. Superheroes represent qualities that we should all attempt to embody. What Captain America truly represents can be interpreted in many ways, but there are messages being conveyed. The authors of “Captain America: The First Avengers” use rhetoric to express the social ideology that being a hero is not exactly how strong you are, but what values and morals you live your life by.…
