PostModernism in SheHulk

Postmodernism is where we can no longer differentiate between reality and representation. Timeline is from pre-modernism, modernism, and postmodernism. In postmodernism there is no ultimate authority. 

One postmodernism example is use is SheHulk. 

There are some postmodern features in SheHulk. One of them is loss of reality (surreal). SheHulk exit her world and come to the reality. SheHulk came from fiction location and come to real location which give meaning to audiences that superhero is real and audiences will believe that. Audiences having difficulty in differentiate between simulation and reality because now anything is not real can be made. Like fiction location, the producer often use green screen to make it happen. SheHulk can be consider as parody due to imitating the same SheHulk in 1978. To keep audiences track of SheHulk in different season and episode. Before SheHulk come into reality, there is part where it show different character from marvel which consider as intertextuality. 

Postmodernism I chose are Nat geo Wild and A Life on Our Planet

Post modernism is a rejection of modernism. In post modernism, audience having difficulty in differentiate between simulation and reality (hyper reality) which one of Boudrillard big idea. The hyper reality where we can no longer differentiate between reality and simulation and heightened reality it's the opposite of hyper reality, where we as audience can still distinguish which one is real and artificial. Documentary that consider as heightened reality is Nat Geo Wild. It's a documentary that show wild animal life. We were shown real animal, real location they don't simulate it, and everything else is real. They don't interview people, instead most of the time doing voice over on it. For hyper reality documentary is from A Life on Our Planet by David Attenborough. Some elements are difficult to determine whether it's real or fake which the shot of the book. Whether it's real book or they simulate it we as audience don't know and tree falling whether it do on purpose or they faking it.

  1. - You need to briefly expand on those points in your introduction. What do you mean by reality and representation? How does postmodernism relate to the others?
    - There is no cohesion in your P1. All of the points are quickly made and not discussed further.
    - I don't think SheHulk is trying to act like reality. I think people are still aware that it is fiction.
