Teen Titans Book Vs Movie
Warner Home Video and DC Comics unleashes the fury in their latest direct-to-DVD offering “Justice League vs. Teen Titans.” The all-new DC Universe Original Movie is brought to us by Director Sam Liu (“Batman: Year One,” “All-Star Superman”) from a script by Bryan Q. Miller (“The Flash,” “Arrow”) and Alan Burnett (“Batman: The Animated Series,” “Batman Beyond”). It is based on an original idea instead of a comic book arc like most of the past animated films.

Frustrated and disillusioned about his work alongside the Justice League, Robin is forced into a new position with a younger super team, the Teen Titans. Readily welcomed aboard, he is immediately intrigued by the mysterious Raven and the unnatural force that looms over them - her father Trigon - a deceptive being powerful enough to destroy Metropolis by pitting the mighty Justice League against the Teen Titans. Loyalties are on the line and lives hang in the balance in “Justice League vs. Teen Titans.”

Teen Titans” reminded me of what would happen if an old Satanic Panic flick like “Rosemary’s Baby,” “The Exorcist,” or “The Masque of the Red Death” was blended together with a super hero movie. You have the mother who is deceived into giving herself over to a cult and spawning the daughter of Satan (or Trigon as they call him in the DC Universe). The offspring of the Unholy One fights her destiny and chooses to use her powers for good. The only difference between this and a classic horror film starring Vincent Price or Linda Blair is the inclusion of Robin the Boy Wonder, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, Batman, Superman, and Wonder

    There are some movies that are adapted from the novel such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions. One of the differences is by watching a movie, you just need to sit and relax. It is very easy since you only need to watch it and understands it. Furthermore, you can watch the movie while doing something else such as eating or exercising. You do not really have to focus like to imagine how the atmosphere is in the movie at that time or how a person is walking down the streets. Lastly, you can avoid disbelief since it is a multi-sensory experience. On the other hand, by reading…

    Stereotypically, men and women have very different roles in the eyes of society. Gender roles and stereotypes have a history in religious, political, legal and economic systems. In reality, men and women are more alike than most people assume. Throughout the world there are struggles with identity, power, and violence occurring everyday between both men and women. The film Mean Girls, directed by Mark Walters, follows a young girl, Cady’s, transition from being home schooled to public high school. Cady enters the school’s group of mean girls, otherwise known as “the plastics”, which consists of Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Smith. Throughout the film each character struggles with their true identity. There are also many power struggles, and violent actions toward each other. The novel Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, follows a group of young boys who have been stranded on a deserted island. The three main characters: Ralph, Jack and Piggy all struggle for complete power over the group of boys. Each one also experiences a loss of identity, and violence is a clear theme exhibited throughout the novel. The characters in Mean Girls and Lord of the Flies all struggle with the loss of identity, power and violence. They have very similar experiences with loss of identity and the struggle for power, but the violence among boys in Lord of the Flies is physical, versus the mental violence in Mean Girls. Due to the fact that we live in a patriarchal society, society has very different expectations of male and female behavior. Modern day stereotypes of men and women have led to the idea that boys and girls are very different, when in reality they are very much alike.…

    Hercules: Movie Vs Myth

    • 321 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The movie and the myth of the story of Hercules were in a plethora of ways different. From the very beginning the two were extremely different. Even within the first 10 minutes of the movie, there were already clear differences that were shown more and more as the time went on. The movie version of Hercules had little to nothing in similarity to the myth. The only real comparison that could be made is the use of the names in both and the fact that Hercules had incredible strength. From even the smallest details, the two were greatly unalike. For example, in the original myth there were nine muses, but in Disney’s version they had 5. Another outstanding difference was the fact that in the myth, Hercules was the son of Zeus and a mortal by the…

    As mentioned earlier, Batman and Superman eventually start to fight, as Batman calls him a sellout for letting the government abuse of his powers. In the scene batman utters, “And it has to end here on this filthy patch street, where my parents died” (190, 4). Batman is referring to crime alley where he eventually dies of a heart attack, the same place where his origin or initially “birth” began. It was the heart drive and tenacity that made him who he is Batman. However, in this cased his own will and heart has failed to make him achieve another victory. Ironically, on his return to crime alley, he received a loss where he is portrayed as the “criminal” and has been defeated by the national heroic figure of Superman that that the government prefers. All births eventually come to an end, making batman’s physical mortality genuine and the termination of his heroic cycle.…

    Some feature films follow a contemporary style of filmmaking where some components are based off from real events and scenarios. On the other hand, screenwriters add a more dramatic sense to filmmaking by integrating characters and a storyline to structure the film into a creative piece of art. “Remember the Titans” in this case is an exemplary film for creative filmmaking, not only does it resonate with historical events and takes the audience back to the 1971’s era but also sheds some light into the lives of the real Virginia State Football Champions. This feature film offers more of a political standpoint and introduces themes such as racial discrimination, the bond of friendship, and unity as one. The directors of “Remember the Titans” are much convincing on social and political grounds that by illustrating the characters conflicts it gives the film scope for growth and the journey to forming positive-healthy relationships.…

    “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no its Superman!” For decades comic book characters such as Superman, The Incredible Hulk, Batman, and Wonder Woman have captured the imaginations of American children and adults alike. “Superheroes,” they have been coined. But these figures only exist in our imaginations. Batman is not really there to save us from villains such as the Joker and the Riddler. Because these heroes are fictional, we are left without real life heroes… or are we? The answer is clearly no. Heroes are all around us. They can be courageous, intelligent, strong or daring, but heroes to me are selfless and brave.…

    On Halloween each year, my family does not go trick-or-treating. Instead, we turn off all our lights, make a couple batches of popcorn, order pizza, and sit down together in our living room to watch movies. We often watch more than one movie on this special night. Last year, we decided to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. My siblings and I had read and loved the books, written by Rick Riordan, so we thought, “How bad could it be? It would be amazing to see these incredible stories onscreen!” We were wrong. Every member of my family who had read the books agreed that this movie destroyed the intent of the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. We had rented the movie in hopes of being able to see the characters from the book brought to life on the screen in the same vivid way that Riordan brought them to life in the pages of his book. But instead, we were horribly disappointed. The characters and most of the basic story were there, but they were different. The goal was off, the producers seem to have attempted to stuff the entire series into two movies, and we generally felt that the films were incomplete. Gone were the fascinating scenes in which trivia about Greek mythology were woven into the…

    Mark Zusak’s novel, The Book Thief, was better than the film, as it dives deeper into the various perspectives and personalities of the characters. It builds up the character of Max, and the minor characters (such as the Holtzapfel family) build up the story. By reading this story, you learn about the themes of mortality and the power of words which aren’t as present in the film.…

    ‘Clash of the Titans,’ an ancient Greek myth, has similarities and differences in both the story and in the film adaptation. In the classic Greek tale, King Acrisius, fearful of his imminent death, threw Perseus, son of Zeus, and his mother, Danae, into the ocean; a fisherman named Dictys rescued both, with the help of Zeus. Later, Perseus must battle Medusa and the Ketos to save Danae, from yet another king, King Polydectes, and Princess Andromeda, respectively. Perseus, in the movie version, must defeat giant scorpions, Medusa, and the Kraken, all to save the citizens of Greece from the wrath of Hades, god of the underworld.…
