@_chrishaynes I also think that it’s important not only to note the dissatisfaction in her face but also the empowered strength. I think it the photo shows her rejection of the president’s actions but also proves that they are willing to fight back to protect their reputation #engl3246 #claim

@granston_jenny @_chrishaynes This was a great insight! comics have away of blending both art (through the sketches) and narrative. The two together have the ability to develop a strong message that can impact people more effectively than one lacking the other #engl3246

@_chrishaynes #claim communities are built around this comic and because of this they are able to send a political statement to lots of people very quickly #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #synth comics and other forms of media have become much more powerful with people increase in fandoms. This photo clearly depicts a political stance and many of the followers of this comic are being exposed to it. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #deets ms marvel is showing strength and confidence ripping the photograph of the president. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@P_Jim2 @_chrishaynes @bedtimetoaster ..... because of this people are more likely to unite with those who hold the same fandoms as them. Ultimately bringing even people with the most polar opposite backgrounds together. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@P_Jim2 @_chrishaynes @bedtimetoaster #engl3246 I agree. People have begun to define themselves with all forms of popular culture ranging from the brands they wear, the places they eat, and the music they listen to. Culture and fandoms have become not just a enjoyment but a piece of who we are......

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@ChloeFillinger @_chrishaynes Additionally, I think it's important to note that this idea also relates so well to the entire concept of our class. Popular culture like this comic generate such large following and fandoms which creates and influence that can truly change social norms #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@ChloeFillinger @_chrishaynes I agree. I think that the comic radiates a positive message to the world about strength and empowerment for all people. I think that is also why it has built a huge community around it. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #claim Ms. Marvel's relatability gives her an even stronger influence over many different audiences which is what makes this comic so critical to popular culture. It has the ability to alter culture and ultimately alter society as a whole. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #synth these people with many differences seem to be united by the superhero. She is bring people together to reveal how little difference truly means in the world #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #deets there are are a myriad of faces of different backgrounds, ages, and genders but they all state "We are all ms" #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@RaidenD1995 @_chrishaynes @bedtimetoaster When compared to watching a TV show, I don't think it is as captivating because many have turned to technology to get information or be entertained. But when compared to a book I think comics can enhance and story or a message through the pictures #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes @PaulinaCUBouldr It reveals both the vulnerable side (her humble quote) and the strong side (her tough superhero outfit) of a superhero. They cannot just have one side but they must have both because both traits give someone the ability to save or help someone or something #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes Stories like comics often provide a more consumable way to face controversial topics in society. Because this form of media simplifies the problem, it helps many form opinions or advocacies for or against issues which can lead to grander solutions. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #claim the passage points out that sometimes we need to realize their are similarities between religion and culture that often surpass our differences. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #deets the quote from the Quran is one that can be applied to many situations #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes @bedtimetoaster A comic works like all forms of literature. It can be used to persuade, inform, or teach. #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #synth The passage also relates to the bystander effect. It highlights the idea that one can be a superhero simply by taking the time to help one person even with many others around that could help instead #engl3246

[Mary Fleming @cu_maryfleming]

@_chrishaynes #synth it relates to the ethics of the superhero because it recognizes the good in any form of help. It can be difficult to help the whole world when you are only just one person so it shows the importance of helping anyone you can. #engl3246
