FYS 1262 - I am Groot

Credits: 4
I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. If you didn’t catch that, let me translate. Students Assemble! In this class, we are Groot, critically analyzing the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). We’ll learn a little bit about the history of this type of transmedia storytelling; we’ll examine the MCU’s 20 representation practices, including the ways heroes are depicted and what counts as strength and weakness; we’ll even examine the ways value systems are expressed and complicated in the stories being told and how they hold up across the different movies and shows. “I could do this all day” (S. Rogers), and I hope you can too—for a semester. I am Groot.
