    This is an excellent article to utilize if your paper is discussing women as superheroes or women in superhero movies. Female costumes are overwhelmingly portrayed unrealistically in film and comic and have little regard for realism of functionality. The costumes mostly strive towards sexualization and nudity. It is an excellent topic to discuss.

    This article is an excellent article to use if you are discussing diversity in your paper. Black people are vastly underrepresented in superhero films, and especially as heroes. This can help add another dimension to your paper in regards to that when black superheroes do show up, they are often stereotypes.

    I thought this article was very interesting. It raises question as to where the line should be drawn in regards to should characters be explicitly only created to be role models and paragons instead of allowing a writer to be able to craft the character and story they want to create. I also found the part about the "slacker" mentality interesting as I found many of my friends adopting that sort of lifestyle in middle school. I also think the part about diversity could be used in the paper to some degree.

    This article expands on military in superhero movies. It discusses the militarization of the heroes in these films and how the violence and weaponry have shifted from fantasy to hyper-realism. I think it raises some interesting points.

    A very interesting article on civilian casualties in superhero movies. Has some interesting statistical type information and can be a good article to cite if your research paper has to do with a superhero interacting with the civilian population.
