Captain America Satire
So yeah, Captain America: Civil War (CA:CW) has been out for well over a week and double yeah, I did see it opening weekend.

Just thought I would take a moment to share with you some of my collected thoughts from my screening a couple of Friday nights ago.

ILC's Overall Take? I really liked it. As much as I am generally fatigued by this whole superhero movie franchise "thing," I have to say I truly had a fun time and was thoroughly entertained.

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of Joe Sacco's 'On Satire'

    There are many views surrounding the Charlie Hebdo firebombing from January 7th. Many journalists from sources such as The Guardian, FOX News, and the New York Times say that the shooting of cartoonists in defense of religious beliefs is unethical and immoral. However, these approaches to the issue of freedom of speech presented by the Hebdo cartoons, which portray the Muslim prophet Mohammed in derogatory and lewd sketches, are represented quite differently by Joe Sacco in his comic titled On Satire. In this comic, Sacco demonstrates his opinion on the issue of freedom of speech by showing how offensive the material was that Hebdo had published. This was easily…

    Stewie Satire

    Peter then has to go to jail, translated orally as ‘prison’. The parody of the joke about his shower experience transfers well to French, as the ‘do not drop your soap in the prison shower’ gag is known in both cultures. Back home, Stewie offers his mom some grenades, quoting Forrest Gump’s ‘Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get!’. Unfortunately, the French adaptors did not take the exact quote from the movie: instead of saying ‘on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber’, the baby says ‘on ne sait jamais quelle crotte on va avoir’. However, the new pun and the insistence on Stewie’s way of speaking do play a crucial part in Stewie’s portraying and the quote is still distinguishable. At the courthouse, translated…

    Superman Satire

    On December 3rd, 2013 a man by the name of Ki-Suck Han was struck by a train in the late afternoon at the Time Square Substation. After having an altercation with Naeem Davis, a homeless man of the age of 30, Han was pushed down onto the tracks by Naeem Davis. Surrounded by several witnesses, Han seeing the oncoming train, pleaded for help and tried to lift himself off the tracks and back onto the platform. Instead of helping, those around him, instead stood there, pressed a few buttons on their phones (probably less than they would have in comparison of calling 911) and proceeded to record the incident before Han was impacted by the train. As Han’s struggled and pleaded…

    Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle is a fictional embedment of satirization used to reveal the flaws in mankind. Throughout the story Vonnegut introduced objects and characters that are meant to be satirical representations of people and things in the world. For example, Felix Hoenikker is a satirical element of science and technology in that he is presented as a man who believes that everything in the world is a game or puzzle and has no consequence. The hook in San Lorenzo is used as mockery of the death penalty. Finally, H Lowe Crosby is a representation of capitalism and all of its problems that is causes society. Mankind’s failure to solve the repetitive problems that negatively affect the country is Kurt Vonnegut’s message in Cat’s Cradle,…

    Illegal Immigration Satire

    I honestly don’t think illegal immigrants are hurting the U.S. economy, I think they’re actually helping it out. Majority of the 12 million illegal immigrants are willing to work in low paying and harsh environment jobs, that many US citizens wouldn’t even think about doing. Americans benefit in so many ways by having illegal immigrants doing their cheap labor jobs. Everyone says that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans, but those same people also want to get raise minimum wage to $15.00+/hr. Will those people want to work in those cheap labor jobs? I don’t think so. Everyone complains about illegal immigrants stealing jobs, but isn’t it embarrassing that an illegal immigrant is “stealing” your job. That illegal immigrant…

    Captain America as a Rhetorical Superhero

    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.…
