For my three contemporary icons I have chosen Zombies, Marvel, and Playstation. These are three things you see everywhere today. Marvel movies are some of the biggest blockbusters out there. Playstation is one of the three major consoles in the gaming market. And Zombies, you just can’t get away from zombies today. All three of these are huge in today's popular culture.
Marvel, one of the biggest comic book publishers and now one of the biggest and best movie studios. They pump out multiple amazing releases every year. One of their latest films, Guardians of the Galaxy, is one of my all time favorite movies. Each year they bring in major dollars from people flocking to see their newest movie.
Playstation is one of the three major gaming consoles on the market today. The other two being the Xbox one and the Wii-u, as long as you don’t count the PC as a gaming console. Gaming is getting bigger and bigger each year with more people playing games now than ever before. The playstation 4 alone has sold over 10 million units and does not show any signs of stopping any time soon. as a huge gamer myself, I see this as one of the biggest Icons out there.
And then we have zombies. Where to begin with zombies, they are just everywhere in popular culture today. It seems every shooter game has some kind of zombie mode put into it, even if it doesn't fit the game. We have comedy movies about zombies such as Zombieland and Fido or more serious ones like 28 days later. Even one of the most popular TV shows today is about zombies in The Walking Dead. You just can’t escape the zombie apocalypse no matter what media you look at.
I understand were you are coming from. Zombies are something huge that is going around and being talked about and trying to get other people prepared if for if zombies actually come. Marvel is very big in the comic industry, so I agree with that too.
