Genre Analysis



what are the classic narratives to a Superhero film? 
A typical Superhero narrative is where the unknown superhero is a normal everyday citizen, who potentially could have a serious case of being unlucky. This character is normally played by a male as this still is stereotypical appropriate for the genre. The story shows how this ordinary guy transforms or inherits these so called superpowers. Somewhere in the film a arising villain will try do something evil in the same part of the city as the hero. There is a high percentage of action in superhero films as the villain and hero both fight. (the Hero want to win for good and the villain wants to win to dominate). Within the film there is typically girl liked or loved by the Hero! (The Villain normally has captured the girl to draw the Hero into his trap)
There could be a massive fight scene with the two main characters over this girl which evidently the Hero normally wins. At the end of the film everything works out however the directors/producers usually add in a clue to the next film by adding another uprising villain.
Superhero film are like thrillers because the hero starts of with a disposition and feels like he cant do anything he much then over come personal hurdles as the antagonist takes something or initiates the protagonist to rise above his fear and become what he need to be.

what is the role to the hero?
The role of a superhero is usually begins by being shunned by a community or group of people, however problems arise that cause the protagonist to step up and be the person that the community or people need (As a sign of hope).  After the story ends the hero is usually accepted into the community that has shunned him. His role is to save/help/aid victims that are in need. Typically a superhero has a certain power to help him help others. This normally would be a unrealistic everyday power such as having the ability to fly.
