HEROÍSMO E O HOMEM DE FERRO (2008): A PROGRESSÃO DO HERÓI ATÉ A CONTEMPORANEIDADE

Abstract

Iron Man (2008), an adaptation directed by Jon Favreau and based on the series of Comic Books started in Tales of Suspense (1963), presents the character Tony Stark (Iron Man ) and his birth as a superhero. Originally written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character sets postmodernity by being able to present elements that represent the new era of technology and science within his story. The current document intends to search for the aspects of the character Tony Stark perceived in the movie Iron Man (2008) that make him a superhero. Many of the aspects analyzed in the character put his morality in perspective by questioning his vicious tendencies and the decision-making based on them. In this regard, it is necessary to understand the origin and history of the term hero and its concepts. Besides investigating aspects of contemporaneity and its connection with the work in analysis. The character's contributions to universes of both Cinema and Comic Books therefore justify the theme choice of this research.
