5 Iconic Elements Comics Borrowed from Their Own Adaptations
The success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been bleeding back into the original comics universe for years now, with mixed results. The Guardians of the Galaxy got quick and dirty redesigns to match their first movie as soon as it came out and the less said about the convoluted hoops Marvel jumped through to have a Samuel L Jackson-esque black Nick Fury in their main comics universe the better (especially given they had such a character, the one the movies copied even, in their dying Ultimate Universe, just waiting for a lifeboat over).

How Superhero Movies Have Influenced Pop Culture and the World
Superheroes have played a huge part in pop culture ever since they first started being drawn in pages. The first superhero comics came out in the late 30s and 40s. Superman from the DC comics, is regarded as the "first" superhero. Since coming out in 1938, Superman has become a widely known figure in pop culture today and is still continuing his legacy in movies in the DCEU. Superman is the classic superhero. An alien with special powers, god-like strength, and a hero who beats up the bad guys. It's no wonder that the kids of that era would look up to Superman.

You see many a Disney movie housed in clamshells (the ones with that fucking scary as hell Buddy Baker scored neon Mickey Mouse opening. Don't laugh, that shit gave me nightmares for years. That and the MTM Kitten.) Plenty of big box videos too, from MGM/UA, Warner Bros., Paramount. Shannon Whirry, Kimberly Kelley, and Shannon Tweed had some of their best work there, too—:D.

James Dean Taught Me a Lot About Myself
When I was 20, I was given a homework assignment to do while I was in college. I had to watch Rebel Without A Cause with James Dean, I was kinda excited because I had it set to record in the middle of the night and was able to watch it as soon as I got home the next day.
