Superhero movies have become the new rage over the past few years through movies and comics. The Guardians of the Galaxy is just one of the examples of a comic strip coming to the big screen and taking off like a rocket. People have fell in love with the on-screen team consisting of Starlord, Gamora, Rocket, Drax, and Groot, alongside villains like Yondu, Nebula, Ronin, and Ego. Even people that are not fans of superheroes have grown to like the story line and characters. They are both entertaining to people all around the world, but one will sometimes surpass the other in popularity. The Guardians of the Galaxy movies are more entertaining than the comics because of the character appearance, story lines, and popularity. The movie provides …show more content…

In the comics Starlord’s is the son of J’Son of Spartax and earth woman Meredith Quill. His dad left earth to fight in a war and his mom was killed by two Badoo soldiers. In the comics Groot is a very intelligent creature. He has a very wide vocabulary and has graduate level intellect. Yondu is the original leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the comics. He is also a hero in the comics. In the movie Starlord’s father is Ego, who is a living planet that can take human form for travel and exploration purposes. Ego became his father for the movie because he is more well known. Also fighting an entire living planet would be a more exciting story line for the audience to enjoy. In the movie Meredith was killed by a disease that Ego gave her so he could leave Earth without attachments. This added another branch to the exciting story line that made the final fight more entertaining. In the movie Groot has a three-word vocabulary which is “I am Groot”. He is still intelligent but can only speak with three words. Groot is a beloved character in the movie because of he does everything with saying only “I am Groot”. He dances, fights, and makes jokes with only those three words which makes the movie more entertaining, while having the entire audience laugh with his funny antics. Yondu is the leader of a ravenger crew and is a villain until the end of the second movie. Making Yondu a villain added depth to the story line by giving another villain to fight that eventually becomes a sidekick. It adds a twist to the story line that makes it more entertaining. Making Yondu a leader of a ravenger team makes a different story line that no one knows what is up next., making for some excitement and curiosity. The story lines are changed for entertainment, audience connection, and to add more depth to an already big story

    For fans of any novel, it is disappointing to find out its film adaption is sometimes nothing at all like the book. In Douglas Adams’ 1979 novel, A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he writes and portrays a multitude of hilarious situations as well as characters. John Singleton directs A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie version in 2005. Most people realize directors take creative liberty in relation to a novel and do not always produce the movie exactly like how readers imagine it, which in turn affects people’s perceptions of the movie. A few main differences between Douglas Adams’ A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy novel and John Singleton’s film version are Arthur’s character development, the team’s relationship with the Vogons, and

In 2001, 2002, 2003 there were two Marvel Studios' films, three Marvel movies, and I still feel sure of the truth of the same thing, which is as long as the ones that we can control are as good as they can be, that's all that I care about. I think we've been doing pretty well. I showed confidence in the films we've declared that we have come forward that they're going to be surprising and different and being the only one of its kind. I've said a lot: I don't believe in the comic book genre. I don't believe in the superhero genre. I believe that each of our movies can be very unique."

    He is courageous, noble and generous, and at the same time is also kind. He does not flee from battle; he leaps into it, knowing his great strength, so he can help those around him and purge the world from evil. He also evolves as a hero - at the end he fights the dragon as a necessity; there is no other way to save his people, and saving them was very important to him, good king as he was; but at the beginning, a great portion of his motivation was his ambitiousness and need for revenge. We can see this evolution, from young to old, from hungry for glory to wise and doing what’s best for his people. But we can also see that he remained a good, humble, moral person throughout his whole life, thus being a great example and a perfect role model for everyone reading the

    Marvel has been releasing blockbuster after blockbuster for over the last decade. Marvel movies have action, a great story line, and even some comedy. Some of my favorite movies that Marvel has released are: the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Amazing Spiderman. DC movies, on the other hand, are awful and boring. Most of them don’t have a story line, they’re slow in telling the superheros story, and they aren’t based off the comics. Some disappointing DC movies that I thought would be great but weren’t: Green Lantern, Man of Steel, and the Dark Knight Rises. While the future of Marvel movies are looking bright (Dr. Strange, Captain America 3), the DC movies will probably crash and burn (Batman vs Superman, Suicide

    As humans, we make up stories to entertain ourselves. For hundreds of years these stories were written down in books, but with the advent of new technologies, these stories can now be expressed with film. Books and films both tell a story, but a movie can express the story in a very different way. With camera movements, lighting, and score, filmmakers have a wider range of tools to use than authors. When a book is made into a film, it keeps some elements from the original and undergoes changes, in addition to being expressed further with film techniques.

    “You make sure they remember, FOREVER, the night they played the Titans!” Too many events were changed, or even never happened when the team was training at the football camp. Racism was brought to an extreme at T.C. Williams High School unlike the real life events. Players, coaches, and fans were changed and added to a point where they could be considered different people. Due to there being more differences than similarities with the real story and the movie, Remember the Titans should most definitely not use the phrase “Based on a True Story.”
