Using his great but imperfect magic, he transforms Hal, the nerdy redheaded cameraman for the local television station. However, Hal quickly discovers that do revenge against a world that looked down on him is much more fun than doing good. Megamind is a master of disguises who in his funniest image becomes a parody of Marlon Brando in “Superman.” By the time Megamind is proclaiming, “You know I’m big, I’m bad,” Megamind’ heroism, and Roxanne’s love appear as existent
Over the years, Batman's greatest nemesis has undergone a multitude of changes. 1940s saw Joker as a homicidal psychopath, then as a notorious and inexorable maniac in the 50s and in a perilously murderous form in the 70s. Although Jack Nicholson’s interpretation of Joker was well appreciated in the late 80s, but one can't compare Ledger's joker to Nicholson's , just the same way as one can't compare Burton's movies with Nolan's. Without a shadow of doubt, in The Dark Knight, Ledger has given us our most convincing Joker yet. The role of a paranoid schizophrenic psycho has been justified by Ledger’s acting prowess.
The costume that he wears and his very gothic looking hairstyle makes him look sinister. Even though Edward is the nicest and the kindest character in the movie he is thought to be a devil by Esmeralda. The same could also be said for Jim, he does not look evil, going out with one of the most innocent people in the movie, Kim, but he is the most evil person. Lastly there are the film techniques that help us or make the viewers determine whether a character is light or dark and good or evil. The lighting, costumes or settings can make ur think about a character differently.
The Producers & Cable Guy: Think about how the main characters in each of these two comedies - Chip Douglas (played by Jim Carrey) in 'The Cable Guy' and Max Bialystock (played by Zero Mostel) in 'The Producers', satirize key Hollywood archetypes. In other words, what American values and ideals typically represented by Hollywood film heroes and villains, do these two characters seem to be mocking? Both the following films “The Cable Guy” and “The Producers” are parodies within there own genre. The Cable Guy is a thriller satire that has a comedic ending. Thrillers are usually shot in dark urban places, slow eerie music, expressive facial expressions, and there’s an anxiety the protagonist feels when ever it meets the antagonist.
Not particularly attractive, crippled, and a (closeted) homosexual, Sam seemed to be born to be pitied. Sam was, however, able to understand his dire need for a transformation through an analogy to magic and comics. He says: “To me, Clark Kent in a phone booth and Houdini in a packing crate, they were one and the same thing. You weren’t the same person when you came out as when you went in…. It was called ‘Metamorphosis.’” (3).

Yu 1 Eric Yu Ms. Dunlop ENG 1DY 20 September 2013 Alan’s Flirtatious Attempt Creepy and flirtatious, are some words that describe Alan from the story, Loathe At First Sight by Ellen Conford. At first sight, Alan appears to be a joyful typical teenager, but upon further inspection it is revealed that he is far from “typical”. Alan seems rather creepy in the story, especially when he says, “I was admiring you from afar, and I wanted to admire you from a-near.” (Conford 1). He is also a quite humorous person, which he reveals to the readers when he says, “Oh, boy, this whole conversation has gotten off on the wrong foot. Wrong foot---ha!
As the play “King Lear” is a well-known play to the reader, adjustments to its normality gives the reader a joyful experience. The “get ready man”, whose name himself is already funny, interrupts the play and presents himself as a lunatic. His hyperbole of “the world is coming to an end” is of course absurd and incredulous to the reader, but it arouses the reader’s unexpectedness, which is relieved through the form of humor. Furthermore, his ridiculous shouting fits well in the dialogue and special effects of the performance, which adds dramatic effects to the story. All of this adds to the humor of the play.
There is no telling what kind of gag or misadventure the Tramp will go through next in this movie The acting in this film was amazing, since it was a silent film the facial expressions and gestures were more exaggerated than a regular movie would be. The Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) especially was a primary example of this and so was The Millionaire (Harry Myers). An example of this in the film is when The Millionaire wakes up after being drunk and does not recognize his new friend The Tramp. The exasperation and confusion in his face was so dead on but also the persistence of the Tramp to convince him he was a friend and that they had met made the scene all that great. The mass confusion between the both of them was just hilarious.If you imagine two people arguing silently that’s what you would get.
Despite the “old fashioned escapism” in Star Wars’ Hans Solo or Indiana Jones, society has transformed it’s depictions of heroes. Jeff Jensen expands upon this in his article, Heroes and Villains. When in trouble, “we should logically be drawn to tales of strong, valiant souls who can control their destinies and bring an easily definable fiend to justice.” A superman who beats up the bad guys and send them to the police can be compared to James Bond’s investigations of corrupt and powerful criminals, who reap the benefits of their schemes no matter the harm it brings. However, though seemingly cynical, today’s heroes aren’t as brave or fantastic as they seem. A hero cannot just randomly be born into the world.
