Who's the Villain



Hello readers, today we are going to refer back to the visual analysis post, and we're going to talk about how we can visually see different relationships between superheroes and villains. In the past post I analyzed an image of the flash with the reverse flash, and how the image shows there unique relationship. Today I am going to compare and contrast that image with an image of the flash fighting a different villain, so that we can see that each villain has a unique relationship with each superhero. In this image we see just captain cold, on his knees looking defeated and ashamed. Furthermore, he seems to be drawing power from the ice around him, but he looks regretful. The entire color scheme is blue and white and his body is at a slightly positive angle. All of these aspects tell us something about the character and his relationship. Just from the image we can see that he has been defeated and ashamed that he continues to loose, but he has also not given up. From the text we can see that Captain Cold truly sees the Flash as the villain, which is different idea than many villains. For example, the reverse flash in the previous image absolutely knew that what he was doing was wrong. Every relationship is different between heroes and villains and this is what makes a comic interesting, there can't just be a good hero or villain.
