In this engaging, self-paced course, learners will dive into the rich narratives of Transformers One and Wicked to analyze the journeys of their central heroes and villains. Through guided lessons, students will explore themes of power, morality, identity, and transformation, examining how characters like Megatron and Elphaba evolve into complex figures of villainy. By comparing their motivations, conflicts, and relationships with their respective heroes, students will uncover the deeper storytelling dynamics that challenge traditional notions of good and evil. This course will be a guided analysis into the origin story of both the heroes and the villains of popular story franchises focusing on the most current origin stories. This course examines the parallels and distinctions between Megatron’s rise in Transformers One and Elphaba’s transformation in Wicked, focusing on themes of power, identity, and the blurred line between good and evil. Students will engage in critical discussions, comparative analyses, and structured writing exercises to uncover how these origin stories challenge conventional storytelling norms. In this course, students will examine the archetypal hero figures in Transformers and Wicked, focusing on Optimus Prime and Glinda, respectively, exploring their roles, motivations, and how they embody the characteristics of traditional heroes. The course will culminate in an essay writing assignment inviting students to synthesize their insights and present a well-supported stance on a central question. With a focus on critical thinking, analytical writing, and creative interpretation, this course offers a unique opportunity to unravel the complexities of two iconic narratives that on the surface seem as different as two things can be! Due to copyright laws, there will NOT be clips from either film in class. I may refer to certain parts of the films in my lessons, but I will not show parts of the film in my videos. All viewing of the film or film clips must be done independently. ***Step Up For Students/Florida Tax Scholarship Recipients - This class is available for direct purchase using your scholarship funds in MSS!***
