Marvel Super Hero Squad - Reintroducing the World of Marvel to Kids


The Marvel Universe is a complex world of super heroes and super villains which have been re-imagined, rendered, retold many times and the latest trend is the cross-over and team up of different characters from their own titles to one plot. This can be noticed especially in the rich history and industry of Marvel Comics. House of M, Civil War, and Secret Invasion are some of the many titles (plot) where different characters from the Marvel Universe fought together or each other.

The Marvel Universe Characters


The newer generation has little knowledge or probably less enthusiastic about the Marvel Universe, the comics and its origins. This is one of the reasons why they came up with Marvel Super Hero Squad, an upcomming television animation targeted for a much younger audience (and the young at heart).

About The Film:

Ten years ago, a tragedy changed the town of Harmony forever. Tom Hanniger, an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a permanent coma. But Harry Warden wanted revenge. Exactly one year later, on Valentine's Day, he woke up...and brutally murdered twenty-two people with a pickaxe before being killed.
Ten years later, Tom Hanniger returns to Harmony on Valentine's Day, still haunted by the deaths he caused. Struggling to make amends with his past, he grapples with unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend, Sarah, who is now married to his best friend, Axel, the town sheriff. But tonight, after years of peace, something from Harmony's dark past has returned. Wearing a miner's mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. And as his footsteps come ever closer, Tom, Sarah and Axel realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who's come back to claim them...

Presented in stunningly real, cutting edge 3-D projection.

"THE BOYFRIEND'S DEATH"


A girl and her boyfriend decided to "have fun" and drove to a very secluded place. As they drive through that place they started "making out". The girl saw some shadowy figure looming outside the car which immediately vanished. This alarmed her a bit so she told her boyfriend about what she saw but the boyfriend just shrugged the idea and continued with their "fooling around".

After they were done, the boyfriend went out to pee. The girl stopped him as she recalls the incident of the looming shadowy figure from before. The boyfriend just laugh at her and still continued to go out to "take a leak". The boyfriend stepped out of the car, saying comfortingly to his girlfriend, "Don't worry, I'll be right back.

She locked the doors and sat restlessly. Minutes passed, her boyfriend has still not shown himself. She shouted and whined "It's not funny! Where are you?". Suddenly a psychotic and scary looking man surprised her at the the side of the door. The crazed looking man kept banging the windshield of the car's door which made her to shout her lungs out. She went to the other side of car but the strange and crazy man vanished. The man appeared at her back and persistently knocks on the windshield of the car.
